Lux Essentials
2 – 2.5 hrs · 1 detailer, ~2 hours hands-on
A proper maintenance detail to keep a already-clean vehicle sharp between full details.
- pH-neutral foam pre-soak & two-bucket hand wash
- Wheels, tires & wheel wells cleaned and dressed
- Spray sealant — 4 to 6 weeks of protection
- Full interior vacuum incl. trunk
- Dash, console & door panels wiped and protected
- Interior + exterior glass, streak-free
Priced separately, this work runs
Foam cannon pre-soak, two-bucket wash, grit guards, blow-dry so no water spots etch the clear coat.
Iron-removing wheel cleaner, barrel brushes, tire dressed — the dirtiest 20 minutes of any detail.
SiO2 spray sealant hand-applied panel by panel. Real product cost, not a $3 car-wash wax.
Seats, carpets, trunk, crevice work, then UV-protectant on the dash and panels.
Ammonia-free cleaner, two-towel method — the step nearly every $20 wash skips.
You save $16 by bundling.
About two hours of hands-on labor plus roughly $12–18 of consumables (soap, sealant, towels, water, fuel if we come to you). At $149 you're paying roughly $55/hr for skilled labor — under what a shop charges for an oil change bay.
