Anyone that is intrested in autism and car washing/detailing
Engine Cleaning
We carefully cover all exposed wiring, air intakes, fuses, etc. Then we hand clean everything under the hood.
Clay the car
This is the first step in giving your car a beautiful mirror like shine. We wash your car. Then we use a clay bar to remove imbedded contamination from the paint finish that cannot be removed using conventional cleaning methods. Clay is non-abrasive and works like no cleaner, compound or chemical can and is safe for use on all paint finishes
Machine Compound
We carefully compound your car to remove light to medium scratching. This is the second step in giving your car a beautiful mirror like shine. This is always followed by a machine polish
Machine Polish
This is the third step in giving your car a beautiful mirror like shine. We carefully polish your car to smooth out the clear coat, remove light scratching, and water spots.
Hand Wax
This is the final step of giving your car a mirror like shine. Your car is waxed by hand to ensure that your car is properly protected.

GLOSSARY OF AUTO DETAILING TERMS
Acid Rain Spots - These spots are produced when the sun evaporates standing water on the vehicle's surface.
Carnauba Waxes - Waxes are typically blends of Brazilian Carnauba Wax (nature's hardest, natural wax), polymers, oils and gloss agents in a petroleum solvent base. Waxes create an easily renewable, glossy, transparent barrier to protect a vehicle's finish against a hostile environment.
Circular Polisher - (Also called rotary or high-speed polishers) These are the same professional, machine polishers used by automakers and body shops for removing sanding swirls, scratches and paint defects.
Compounds - Compounds are formulas of lubricants, solvents, water and abrasive minerals in either a liquid or paste construction. Compounds are designed to remove (abrade away) a portion of the top paint or clear coat layer which contain sanding swirls, scratches, water spots or blemishes.
Dual-action Polisher - (Also called orbital polishers) These machine polishers mimic the random motion of hand application. The pad does not rotate, it oscillates in very short movements. It will appear that the pads on these machines just "vibrate" on the surface.
Oxidation - Oxidation is the dulling and/or hazy appearance of a vehicle's top paint or clear coat finish. Oxidation is caused by accumulated exposure to ultraviolet light and environmental pollution. Black, red and dark color paints oxidize quicker because these pigments absorb more ultraviolet light than light color paints.
Paint Sealant - (Also called synthetic waxes and paint protectants) These are formulas of man-made polymers, oils, and gloss agents designed to protect painted and/or clear coated automotive finishes. They can be water-based, petroleum solvent-based or a combination of both. These formulas offer several advantages over Carnauba Waxes. They are very durable, capable of lasting six months or more, are easy to apply and wipe off and produce a very bright shine. ".
Polishes - (Also called pre-wax cleaners) Polishes are formulas of oils, solvents, water, clays and minerals designed to improve surface gloss and remove old wax or sealants, minor swirls, compounding haze, and light oxidation. Polishes may or may not contain fine abrasives, silicones, fillers and waxes.
Pre-wax Cleaners - (Also called Polishes).
Rotary or High-speed Polisher - (Also called a circular polisher or Buffer).
Scratches - A scratch is a deeper break in the paint or clear coat. Scratches that go part way through the top clear coat can be removed by compounding, polishing and finishing with a wax. You should not attempt to remove a scratch that goes through or almost through the clear coat. As a general rule, if you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, you should not attempt to remove it completely.
Silicone - Silicone is a chemical polymer that can be engineered to posses exceptional water repellency, gloss, slipperiness and bonding properties. Silicones are commonly used in automotive products to enhance gloss, make product application and removal easier and improve durability.
Swirl marks - These are curved, minor scratches in the top paint or clear coat surface. Swirls can be created by using an abrasive polish or compound, wool buffing pads or by setting the speed too high on a circular polisher. Very fine swirls can be created when washing or drying the vehicle if a grain of sand or any grit gets trapped between the sponge (towel) and the car's surface.
The only way to remove a swirl is to abrade away the surrounding paint or clear coat to the lowest point in the swirl. This is best accomplished with an abrasive compound and a circular polisher. Swirls can be visually reduced by hand or with an orbital polisher using a non-abrasive polish.
Synthetic Wax - (Also called paint sealants and paint protectants).
Waxes - (Also called Carnauba Waxes).
