What’s included in an Exterior Wash & Wax

Glossy, protected paint, clean wheels and dressed tyres, and rain that beads straight off the bonnet.

Outside the car

  • Exterior hand wash
  • Wheels cleaned, tyres dressed
  • Basic body wax

What makes this wash different

  • Basic body wax, applied by hand

All the work happens outside: the paint, the wheels and the tyres. The inside of the car is left as it is.

  • Safe on electric and hybrid cars. Everything is done by hand, the charge port stays closed, and the rinse is gentle and never aimed at the charge port, seams or sensors.

How your car is washed

The same four steps on every wash with an outside clean, in this order, with pro kit.

  1. A Mercedes SUV covered in pre-wash snow foam at the kerb

    Step 1

    Snow foam pre-wash

    A thick layer of pH-neutral snow foam softens road grime and lifts grit off the paint before anything touches it. The wheels get their own cleaner and their own brushes.

  2. A gloved hand with a wash mitt hand washing a foamed white car door

    Step 2

    Two-bucket hand wash

    Washed by hand, panel by panel, with a soft microfibre mitt and two buckets: one to wash, one to rinse the mitt, so the dirt never goes back onto your paint.

  3. A valeter in hi-vis rinsing a white SUV on a driveway

    Step 3

    Deionised water rinse

    Rinsed with deionised water carried in the van. It has the minerals taken out, so it dries without leaving water spots.

  4. Drying a white bonnet with a grey microfibre towel

    Step 4

    Microfibre dry and finish

    Dried by hand with clean, soft microfibre towels. The tyres are dressed and, on washes that include it, the wax goes on and is buffed to a shine.

    Finished with a basic body wax, applied by hand and buffed to a shine.

Questions about the Exterior Wash & Wax

How is this different from a Mini Valet?

The Exterior Wash & Wax puts all the time into the outside and finishes the paint with wax. The Mini Valet skips the wax and vacuums and wipes the inside instead. Want both? The Mini Valet PLUS does the lot.

How long does the wax last?

A basic body wax adds a deep shine and a protective layer that's best topped up every few weeks. For longer-lasting protection, add the HD Carnauba wax coating.

Do I need to be home?

No. Leave the car where it is and get on with your day.
