Black speckles along the rocker panels, amber drops under a tree and baked-on insects across the bumper are all contaminants that regular soap leaves behind.
Black speckles along the rocker panels, amber drops under a tree and baked-on insects across the bumper are all contaminants that regular soap leaves behind. If you park or drive around Richmond Hill, we remove them at your location using solvents chosen for each type of residue and gentle, lubricated lifting instead of scrubbing. Each one needs a different approach.
Road tar is petroleum based, so it dissolves with a petroleum-based tar remover, which we apply to a towel and wipe in one direction. Tree sap hardens as it ages, and softens with a dedicated sap solvent after some dwell time. Bugs are acidic, so we soak them with a bug remover and let them release rather than rubbing them off.
After the spots are gone, we wash the area, then use clay bar or a clay mitt to lift whatever is still embedded in the clear coat. Etched spots, where acid has already marked the surface, may need polishing, which we will point out. Owners around Gormley notice this most after spring and summer drives through cottage country.
Finally, we protect the paint with a sealant or wax, since a slick surface lets new contaminants wipe off easily. The job can be done alone in an hour or two, or as part of an exterior detail. Sap on glass and trim is handled with safe tools, and we avoid solvents on delicate plastic or aftermarket film.

Richmond Hill is mostly detached and semi-detached homes with driveways and garages, with townhouse complexes and condo towers clustered along Yonge Street and Highway 7, so we usually set up in a driveway and also work in underground garages.
Winter salt and slush from Yonge Street, Highway 7 and the 404 build up on lower panels, and cold snaps freeze grime onto the paint. Spring pollen from mature trees and dust from ongoing development coat cars quickly.
Richmond Hill streets are busy at rush hour, and a drive to a shop on the 404 or Yonge Street takes time. A mobile detailer works at your driveway, garage or office and fits around the commute.
We regularly work in Doncrest, Harding and Gormley, and every other part of Richmond Hill.
Everything is done on-site, at your location, with our own water, power and pro-grade products.
