Our Professional Hand Wash & Detailing Process

Expert Mobile Detailing in Roxbury, NJ — Interior, Exterior, Paint Correction & Protection

At Hi-Def Auto Detailing, we believe every vehicle deserves meticulous care and premium protection — delivered with precision. Our step-by-step detailing process is designed to restore, rejuvenate, and preserve your vehicle’s appearance using professional techniques, high-end products, and a commitment to perfection.

Unlike automatic car washes that rely on abrasive brushes and harsh chemicals, our 100% hand wash approach ensures a swirl-free, paint-safe clean that enhances both aesthetics and long-term value.

Step 1: Interior Deep Cleaning

Restore comfort, cleanliness, and that like-new feel.

We perform a full reset of your vehicle’s cabin — removing dirt, stains, odors, and embedded debris from every surface.

  • Full interior vacuuming (including under seats and trunk)

  • Dashboard, doors, and center console deep-cleaned

  • Carpet and upholstery shampooed and steam-cleaned

  • Leather seats cleaned and conditioned

  • Optional odor neutralization for smoke, food, or pet odors

Step 2: Wheel & Tire Detailing

Restore the details that make your vehicle stand out.

Wheels and tires take the most abuse from the road. We deep clean and dress every component to ensure a polished, like-new finish.

  • Wheels cleaned front to back (face and barrel)

  • Tires degreased and conditioned for a rich black finish

  • Lug nuts, brake calipers, and trim detailed

Step 3: Hand Wash Process

Swirl-free. Spotless. Safe for all finishes.

Our hand wash system is designed to protect your paint while delivering a deep, streak-free clean.

  • Foam cannon pre-soak to loosen dirt

  • Two-bucket hand wash method using soft microfiber mitts

  • Glass, mirrors, and door jambs cleaned

  • No brushes. No shortcuts. No swirl marks.

Step 4: Paint Decontamination

A smooth, contaminant-free surface for optimal results.

After washing, we remove invisible pollutants that cling to your paint — prepping the surface for enhancement and protection.

  • Clay bar treatment to remove overspray, industrial fallout, and bonded debris

  • Iron decontamination to eliminate embedded brake dust and metallic particles

Step 5: Paint Enhancement & Correction

Bring back clarity, depth, and gloss.

Whether your vehicle has minor swirl marks or heavy oxidation, we offer the right level of correction to restore its brilliance.

  • One-step polish removes light swirls and boosts gloss (60–70% defect removal)

  • Two-step correction eliminates deeper imperfections (80–90% correction)

  • Restores color, clarity, and mirror-like reflections

Step 6: Paint Protection

Lock in that finish with long-lasting protection.

Once your paint is flawless, we protect it with advanced hydrophobic coatings and films.

  • SiO₂ sealant for up to 6 months of protection

  • Ceramic coatings (2, 3, or 5-year protection plans)

  • Optional paint protection film (PPF) for impact zones and high-wear areas

Step 7: Final Inspection & Touch-Ups

Every detail matters.

  • Tire shine and trim dressing

  • Final glass and mirror polish

  • Walkthrough with the client to ensure complete satisfaction
