Decontamination wash
Pre soak, foam, two bucket hand wash, iron remover and clay treatment to strip bonded contamination.
Inside And Out · Orland Park, IL
Auto detailing is the complete version: every painted panel corrected and protected, every interior surface cleaned, and the small areas most washes skip. PrimeX Auto Detailing delivers it as a mobile service across Orland Park and the south suburbs.

A car wash removes what is loose on the surface. Auto detailing removes what is bonded to it: iron fallout, tar, tree sap, brake dust and the fine grit sitting in paint pores. Then it puts a protective layer back on top so the finish stays clean for longer.
The same logic applies inside. We are not wiping dust off a dashboard, we are pulling soil out of carpet fibers, cleaning seat seams and vents, and conditioning leather so it does not dry and crack.
Included

Pre soak, foam, two bucket hand wash, iron remover and clay treatment to strip bonded contamination.

Machine polish to raise gloss and knock back light wash marks before protection goes on.

Hot water extraction on carpets and cloth seats, steam on hard surfaces and seams.

Cleaned, conditioned and left with a natural matte finish rather than a greasy shine.

Faces, barrels and arches cleaned, then tires dressed evenly.

Wax, sealant or ceramic coating applied to lock the finish in.
Process
Paint depth, defect type and interior condition set the package.
Chemical and mechanical decontamination before anything touches the paint with a machine.
Polishing stages matched to the defects actually present.
Wax, sealant or coating, plus glass, trim and wheel protection.
Worth knowing
That texture is bonded contamination the wash cannot remove. It needs iron removal and a clay treatment.
Thousands of shallow scratches scattering light. Polishing levels the clear coat around them.
Beading has stopped, which means the wax or sealant has worn off and the paint is unprotected.
Soil in the carpet and residue in the ventilation system, not something an air freshener addresses.
Detailing goes wrong when steps happen out of sequence. Polishing paint that still has bonded iron in it grinds that contamination across the panel. Applying a sealant over polishing oils means it never bonds and washes off in two weeks.
Our sequence is fixed for a reason: decontaminate chemically, decontaminate mechanically, correct, panel wipe, then protect. Every stage assumes the one before it was done properly.
Interiors follow the same logic. Dry soil comes out before any liquid goes in, otherwise you are turning dust into mud and pushing it deeper into the carpet pile.

A car wash cleans the surface. Auto detailing decontaminates the paint, corrects defects such as swirls and oxidation, deep cleans the interior, and then applies protection so the finish stays cleaner between washes.
Most daily drivers benefit from a full detail twice a year with maintenance washes in between. Vehicles kept outdoors year round or driven through Chicago winters often do better on a quarterly schedule.
Yes. Pricing scales with size and condition, so a three row SUV or a work van costs more than a compact sedan, but the process is the same.
Light scratches and swirl marks that have not gone through the clear coat can usually be polished out with paint correction. Deeper scratches you can catch a fingernail in generally need paint repair rather than correction.
It usually is. A detailed vehicle photographs better, shows better in person, and removes the odors and wear signals that make buyers negotiate down.
