The Process

Fill out the quick form and Josh will get back to you within the hour. No need to drive anywhere or wait around.

2

Book a Time That Works for You

Pick a day and time that suits your schedule. Josh brings all his own gear, water and power, so all you need is a flat spot to park.

3

Pre-Rinse and Decontamination

The exterior gets a thorough pre-rinse first to shift loose dirt before any contact with the paintwork. This protects your paint and makes the wash far more effective.

4

Full Two-Bucket Hand Wash

Every panel, piece of trim and window gets washed by hand using the two-bucket method, cutting the risk of swirl marks and scratches that an automatic car wash would leave behind.

5

Wheels, Tyres and Jambs

Wheels are cleaned individually, tyres are scrubbed and dressed, and door jambs are wiped out so nothing gets missed.

6

Blow-Dry and Final Inspection

The car is dried properly with a dedicated car dryer to avoid water spots, then given a final walkover to make sure everything is done right before Josh packs up and leaves.

Is This Right For You?

The maintenance wash is perfect for Hobart drivers who want to keep their ute, SUV or sedan looking sharp without waiting for a full detail. If you already had a full detail done and just want to stay on top of things every few weeks, this is the service for you.

Common Questions About Maintenance Wash

How long does a maintenance wash take?

Most maintenance washes take between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the size of the vehicle and how dirty it is. A HiLux or large SUV will take a little longer than a standard sedan.

Do you need access to water or power at my property?

No. Josh is fully self-contained and brings his own water and power to every job. You just need a flat, accessible spot to park the car, whether that is your driveway, the street or a car park.

How often should I get a maintenance wash?

For most Hobart drivers, once every two to four weeks is about right. If your car spends time near the coast around Sandy Bay or Battery Point, more regular washing helps remove salt air buildup that can dull the paint over time.

What is the difference between a maintenance wash and a full detail?

A maintenance wash focuses on keeping a clean car clean with a thorough exterior hand wash, wheels, glass, tyres and a quick interior wipe. A full detail goes much deeper, covering paint correction, full interior extraction, leather conditioning and more. The maintenance wash is designed to sit in between full details.

Is a hand wash actually better than going through an automatic car wash?

Yes. Automatic car washes use abrasive brushes or poor-quality materials that cause swirl marks and fine scratches in your paint over time. A proper hand wash using the two-bucket method is far gentler and far more thorough, especially around wheels, trim and glass.
