Deluxe Car Wash’s dexterous cleaners beautify vehicle exteriors while shielding them from the ravages of time, the elements, and the road. During the Protection wash, vacuums gobble up gunk, stray gum wrappers, and forgotten layer cakes from the car interior, before car sanctifiers unleash a furious spray of power washers upon the exterior and tire rims. A daring duo of waxing agents buffs every last bit of shiny surface, as drying rags wielded by experienced hands race just ahead to sweep away streaks. Scrubologists bring the brunt of their cleaning prowess against tires and windows, and life coaches cleanse cars of dirty vocabulary they picked up on the streets. A complimentary spritz of 1 of 10 deodorizing air fresheners enlivens interiors and lets air conditioners breathe easy again.

During the complete detailing, all mats receive a vacuum and wash, and eagle-eyed cleansers scrape away clinging bugs and tar. A chrome cleaner follows dual waxes in a merry chase across trunk and hood as interior therapists shampoo entire carpets and rub special leather cleaners and softeners into tense seats suffering from road rage. Brisk rags wipe down and sanitize vents and door panels before the industrial buffing machine bears down upon the freshly waxed coat to dispense long-lasting shine.

Once proud vehicle owners become equally proud bearers of VIP cards, a suite of benefits opens to them, including a free 10th wash for every 9 purchased and 10% off all future detailing services. The card never expires, making it a valid ID at most bars that double as auto-repair shops.
