The 6-Stage Detailing Process

Each stage builds on the last. Skip a stage and the final result shows it.

Wash & Foam

The foundation of any detail. A proper wash removes surface contaminants without scratching the paint.

Rinse the entire vehicle with a pressure washer to remove loose dirt
Apply foam cannon soap and let it dwell 3-5 minutes
Wash panels top-to-bottom using the two-bucket method
Use a grit guard in your rinse bucket to trap particles
Final rinse — work top-down to prevent water spots

Pro Tip

Never wash in direct sunlight. The soap dries before you can rinse, leaving spots and streaks.
