Top Notch Services
Clay Bar Decontamination Wash — Glass-Smooth Paint
The Clay Bar Decontamination Wash is designed for the discerning driver who understands that true shine begins with perfect preparation.
Over time, even the most cared-for paint collects microscopic contaminants — tar, brake dust, industrial fallout, and environmental residue — that washing alone can’t remove. The Detailist process eliminates these impurities, revealing paint that feels as smooth as glass and looks deeper, richer, and more refined.
Your service begins with a pH-neutral foam pre-wash and two-bucket contact wash to safely remove surface dirt. Autoglym Magma is applied to dissolve iron particles, followed by Intensive Tar Remover to lift stubborn tar and adhesive spots.
Next, our technicians use Autoglym’s Surface Detailing Clay Kit with Rapid Detailer, gliding the clay over every panel to extract embedded contaminants without marring the finish. Once purified, the surface is sealed with Extra Gloss Protection or Ultra High Definition Wax — ensuring a flawless gloss and long-lasting protection against the elements.
The result is an immaculate surface — one that doesn’t just look cleaner, but feels flawlessly refined to the touch.
Delivered with precision, passion, and perfection — the essence of The Detailist.
