The Safest, Most Thorough Exterior Wash for Your Vehicle – Mobile Car Detailing at Your Doorstep
Why Choose a Premium Hand Wash?


Automatic car washes use harsh chemicals and dirty brushes that leave behind micro-scratches, swirl marks, and missed spots. Our premium hand wash service uses safe, soft microfiber mitts, clean water, pH-balanced soaps, and professional techniques to clean your vehicle thoroughly and safely. It's the safest option for all vehicles, especially dark-colored paint, black finishes, or ceramic-coated cars.
With Knoxville’s heavy pollen, dusty roads, construction zones, and frequent weather changes, keeping your exterior clean is more than cosmetic—it protects your paint and maintains your vehicle’s value. Regular hand washing removes embedded grime before it causes permanent damage.

Engine Bay Cleaning & Dressing
Extend your paint protection and shine with a high-end sealant or carnauba wax. Applied after decontamination, this adds 3–4 months of hydrophobic performance, depth, and UV defense—ideal for cars not yet ceramic coated.
Faded plastic? No problem. We deep-clean, prep, and re-darken your exterior trim using long-lasting restorers—not greasy silicone dressings. It restores the deep black finish and prevents future fading from UV exposure.
A clean engine doesn’t just look good—it makes leaks, corrosion, and problems easier to spot. We safely degrease and dress your engine bay for a showroom look that adds value and pride under the hood.
For paint that feels rough or looks dull, we’ll perform a full clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants like brake dust, rail dust, and overspray—essential prep for waxes, sealants, or ceramic coatings.
