The good news is we are halfway through winter. The bad news is we are halfway through winter. We offer this to most of our regular customers who realize that a head start on keeping a car looking good in summer actually begins in winter. It makes it easier for us for those customers who aren’t on our wash plans. I know a lot of us get caught in a slump of neglect for our cars, some more than others. But we are doing our mid season maintenance for our regulars and considering a potential nice stretch of weekend offering to NYSpeed and friends. Basically this service is as follows: - A thorough de-salting pre-wash and soft handwash - Wheels cleaned, fender wells blasted out - Undercarriage rinsed LIBERALLY and THOROUGHLY - Vehicle dried gently and some spray sealant is applied - Interior is brushed and vacuumed and blown out:we try to de-salt the best we can(which is where regular care attenuates accumulation) - Hard surfaces wiped clean - Glass cleaned …a basic detail of sorts, but by no means a concours detail - winter maintenance. This generally takes a few hours - and if you ask _anyone,_ regular de-salting is key to keeping the interior salt free for the summer. If there is interest, say so. PMs, posts, whatever you like. ---

I look forward to getting a full detail this spring Mike. I’m also interested in pricing. ---

Pricing will be atypically inexpensive for this as its a non-traditional service for us anyway - probably $70-$85ish for cars, slightly more for trucks/SUVs. Again its a few hours worth of work to plan accordingly. EDIT: For those who are doing this, contact me as soon as possible please. Balancing more than a couple of cars for something like this including my already booked customers requires a bit of symphonic coordination so I would like an accurate forecast. Any questions, please ask. ---

This is continuing on this week and into the weekend as there a lot of extra interest we didn’t anticipate for the weekend itself. Last weekend’s forecast proved inaccurate but that didn’t stop anyone from dropping in for a cleanup because of the realization that regular care shouldn’t stop just because of less than ideal weather. We were able to complete a trailered STI, a regular couple and their color coordinated red and blue supercharged Range Rovers, a new AMG and another Volvo S70. A thaw is coming(well, if it’s forecasted correctly) it would be a good idea for everyone to get a good cleanup to get them through a few more weeks before spring. For those considering a full detail from us in the spring, this is a chance for us to really inspect the vehicle at the same time to get an idea of work required. Any questions, please ask. ---
