What’s Included in Our Clay Bar Auto Detailing Service – San Diego

Our Clay & Ceramic Sealant detail package focuses on deep decontamination and short-term paint protection:

100% Hand Car Wash
We hand wash the exterior using premium soap and microfiber mitts to remove loose dirt while preventing micro-scratches — safer and more thorough than automatic washes.

Iron Remover Treatment
A chemical decontaminant that dissolves invisible iron particles and brake dust embedded in the paint, prepping the surface for clay bar treatment.

Clay Bar Paint Decontamination
We use a detailing clay bar with lubricant to gently pull out stuck-on contaminants like tree sap, road tar, and overspray, leaving the paint ultra-smooth and prepped for sealing.

Deep Wheel and Tire Cleaning
All wheels and tires are scrubbed clean of road grime and brake dust, then dressed for a dark, glossy finish.

3-Month Ceramic Spray Sealant
A professional-grade ceramic sealant is applied for a high-gloss finish and hydrophobic protection that lasts up to 3 months — perfect for San Diego drivers dealing with sun, dust, and beach air.

How We Perform Our Clay Bar & Ceramic Sealant Detailing in San Diego

Every step is designed to maximize paint clarity and protection:

Visual Paint Inspection – We assess the paint surface to check for contaminants, oxidation, or damage.

Exterior Hand Wash – Using a two-bucket method, we hand wash the vehicle to ensure a swirl-free clean.

Iron Remover Application – We spray on a specialized iron remover to dissolve and lift industrial fallout from the paint.

Clay Bar Treatment – We glide a clay bar over the surface with detailing lubricant to remove all embedded contaminants.

Wheel & Tire Detailing – Tires and rims are scrubbed and dressed for a professional finish.

Ceramic Sealant Application – A 3-month ceramic spray is applied, bonding to the now-purified paint for gloss and protection.
