Keeping your vehicle clean is one thing. Giving it a little extra protection is another.
At The Repair Companies Shop, we offer two exterior options depending on what your vehicle needs and how much protection you’re looking for: our traditional Wash & Wax and our Ceramic Shield with Graphene.
Both start with a thorough hand wash, but there are a few key differences between the two.
Wash & Wax — $89
Sometimes you just want your vehicle cleaned up, protected and looking good again.
Our Wash & Wax includes:
- Wheel degrease
- Bug removal
- Soap hand wash
- Chamois dry
- Wax application
Traditional wax adds a layer of protection while helping bring back that clean, glossy finish. It’s a great option for routine exterior maintenance or when your vehicle simply needs a refresh.
Ceramic Shield with Graphene — $125
If you’re looking for a step up from traditional wax, Ceramic Shield adds additional prep and a different type of protection.
This service includes:
- Wheel degrease
- Bug removal
- Iron removal
- Soap hand wash
- Chamois dry
- Ceramic Shield with Graphene application
The added iron-removal step helps remove embedded contaminants from the vehicle’s exterior before Ceramic Shield is applied.
Ceramic Shield with Graphene then creates a hydrophobic layer that helps repel water, dirt and contaminants while enhancing gloss and helping your vehicle stay cleaner longer.
So, which one should you choose?
If you’re looking for a straightforward exterior cleanup with traditional protection, Wash & Wax is a great option.
If you want additional decontamination, hydrophobic protection and an upgrade from traditional wax, Ceramic Shield is worth the step up.
And one important distinction: Ceramic Shield is not the same thing as a professionally installed long-term ceramic coating. It’s an excellent maintenance/protection option, but if you’re looking for longer-term ceramic protection, talk to our team about the ceramic coating options available for your vehicle.
Protect Your Vehicle Before Winter
With Iowa weather around the corner, fall is a great time to get your vehicle cleaned up and add some protection before winter brings road grime, salt and everything else that comes with it.
