Exterior Detailing in Wigan

The outside of the car cleaned the safe way and sealed to last, done on your drive across Golborne, Leigh and nearby. Around five miles from our Golborne base.

The outside job is about lifting a Wigan car clean without putting swirls into it, then leaving protection behind. We soak it first with a citrus pre-wash and a coat of snow foam to float the worst of the muck off, then hand wash it with two buckets on the go so the grit rinses clear of the mitt rather than scratching its way round the panels. Wheels are cleaned on the faces and round the barrels, the arches flushed out, and the car dried off by hand so it does not spot.

Then comes the sealant, and that is where the real value sits. Plenty of cars round Wigan live on the street with no garage, taking the winter salt and the motorway spray off the M6 full on, and a sealed coat of paint stops that grime bonding to it. Rain balls up and rolls straight off, dirt cannot get a proper grip, and you halve the effort of the next clean.

We cover Wigan and the area around it: Ince-in-Makerfield, Scholes, Whelley, Swinley, Worsley Mesnes and beyond (WN1, WN2, WN3, WN5).

What’s included

  • Citrus pre-wash and snow foam before any contact
  • Safe two bucket method so grit is not dragged over the paint
  • Wheels cleaned on the faces and barrels, arches flushed out
  • Dried with a proper drying towel, no water spots left
  • Paint sealant that lasts up to 12 weeks
  • Tyres dressed and wheels protected to finish

How it works

Pre-wash and foam

A citrus pre-wash and snow foam soak the dirt and lift what they can before anything touches the paint.

Wheels and arches

Wheels cleaned on the faces and barrels and the arches flushed out, so the dirtiest parts are dealt with first.

Safe contact wash

A two bucket hand wash that rinses grit away rather than grinding it in, then dried with a soft drying towel.

Seal and dress

Paint sealed for up to 12 weeks, tyres dressed and wheels protected, then a final check over in good light.

Exterior Detailing in Wigan: common questions

Do you clean the wheels and arches or just the paint?
Both, and properly. The wheels get cleaned across the faces and round the backs of the barrels, not just the bits on show, and the gunk sat in the arches behind them gets flushed away too. Brake dust that has baked on over years can take some extra graft, and if it will not all lift we will say so up front rather than after.
Will the outside actually stay clean once you have sealed it?
Cleaner, and for longer. The sealant makes rain bead and run off and keeps road dirt from gripping, so a car parked out in Wigan does not get filthy as fast and rinses down easily when it does. It is not a force field, but it takes a lot of the graft out of keeping it tidy.
What is the two bucket method and why does it matter?
One bucket has your clean wash mix, the other is for rinsing the mitt. Every time you wipe a panel you rinse the grit off the mitt in the second bucket before going back to the soap, so you are not dragging dirt across the paint. It is the simple reason a hand wash does not swirl the finish the way a sponge and one bucket does.
How long does the paint sealant last?
The sealant we use lasts up to 12 weeks depending on how often the car is driven and washed. It makes rain bead and run off and keeps road dirt from bonding, so the car stays cleaner between visits and the next wash is easier.
Can you get my alloys properly clean?
Yes. We clean the wheels on the faces and the barrels, not just the bits you see, and flush out the arches behind them. Baked on brake dust that has been left a long time sometimes needs extra work, and we will flag anything that will not come back to new.
