31425 Car Wash & Quick Lube
Hand wax in Palm Harbor
Wax worked into the paint by hand, panel by panel, at 31425 US Highway 19 N. Worth having on a coast where paint spends its life under sun and salt air.
What hand wax actually is
A spray wax at the end of a wash cycle is a rinse aid. A hand wax is a separate job: the vehicle is washed first, then wax is applied and removed panel by panel by someone standing next to the car.
It is the difference you notice at eye level down the side of a door, which is exactly where Florida sun and salt air do their work.
On its own, or as part of a detail
Most people book hand wax with an exterior detail, because the paint has to be properly clean before wax is worth applying. You can also have it on its own if the car is already in good shape.
- Exterior detailing from $149, which already includes the hand wax along with a clay bar treatment, a full wash, tire shine, wheel shine and trim dressing
- Interior detailing from $189
- Hand car wash at $39.99
Hand wax on its own is quoted on the vehicle, not off a list, so ask for it by name when you call. How often it is worth doing in this climate is a longer answer than a service page should give, and it has its own guide to waxing and detailing in Florida.
