Why a hand wash ?
A hand wash is the best way to clean your vehicle paint and material gently.
During the trip through the car wash, about 600 liters of water are consumed. This corresponds to twenty times the consumption of a hand wash. In addition, the risk of unsightly paint scratches is eliminated by the 2 bucket washing method.
Swissmade Wax
Includes additionally the 21-stage hand wash, including paint decontamination.
Pre-treatment:
- The paint is pre-treated with a special primer for the upcoming wax sealing. This is necessary to ensure the bond between the wax and the paint
Wax Sealing:
- One of the highest quality waxes on the market, made in Switzerland, is hand-applied to the paint. Hand application ensures an even and 100% risk-free seal. After the drying period, any residues are polished out under special lighting conditions.
4-eye final inspection:
- The vehicle is inspected by 2 employees under different lighting conditions for streaks and residues.

Reconditioning a car involves a lot of delicate work and takes several hours. However, the procedure is well worth it: used cars that look brand new can sell for up to 15 percent more, depending on the value of the car. And those who buy a used car can still enjoy a touch of new-car feeling.
How long does a hand wash take ?
A professional hand wash can take between 1-4 hours, depending on the degree of soiling and the size of the vehicle.
Are matte painted cars washed the same as gloss paint ?
Not exactly. For matt painted vehicles we use the matt paint shampoo. This does not contain any gloss-producing substances. Thus, the matt structure of the paint is not affected. In addition, we only use cleaning and care products that are gentle on matte paint.
Does the leather become brittle over time due to the coating ?
No. In order not to close the pores of the leather, we use only Breathable Leather Care.
Can the color be rubbed off after leather coloring?
For leather coloring, we use the same process as the vehicle manufacturer / leather manufacturer. Thus, the leather is worn evenly as in unrepaired parts, so that no color difference is visible.
What to consider when washing the car ?
Washing your car is important to keep its paint clean and maintained. Here are some steps you can follow:
1. prepare materials:
Bucket: use two buckets, one for soap solution and one for clear water, to rinse out the sponge or detergent regularly.
Car wash detergent: Use a mild car wash detergent to avoid damaging the paint.
Sponge or wash mitt: Use a soft sponge or a special wash mitt to avoid scratches.
Microfiber cloths: these are good for drying the car and wiping surfaces.
Water hose with adjustable stream: an adjustable stream helps control water pressure.
2 Preparation:
Make sure your car is in the shade to avoid water spots during washing.
If necessary, let the car cool down before it comes into contact with water.
First rinse the car thoroughly with water to remove coarse dirt and dust.
3. washing process:
Dip the sponge or wash mitt into the soap solution and wash the car in sections from top to bottom. Avoid rubbing off dry dirt as this could cause scratches.
Periodically rinse the sponge in a bucket of clean water to remove dirt particles that could cause scratches.
Be sure to be especially gentle on painted surfaces, windshields and chrome parts.
Do not direct high-pressure cleaners directly at the edges of the film. A minimum distance of approx. 80 cm must be maintained.
4. thorough rinsing:
After you have washed the entire car, rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
5. drying:
Use clean, soft microfiber towels to dry the car. Blot the water instead of rubbing it to avoid scratches.
Don’t forget to carefully dry the door frames and other hard-to-reach areas.
