Which wash packages do you offer?

  1. Clean ($13) is quite simple: basic foam, rinse, and dry.
  2. Fresh ($16) includes the colorful foam that has built-in polish, tire shine, and carnauba wax.
  3. Super Fresh ($20) includes all those above and undercarriage wash (rinses and protects the suspension with rust inhibitor), and liquid ceramic coat (seals in the carnauba wax) for longer lasting shine and overall protection from the beat down of the beautiful but scorching Hawaiian sun, rain, humidity, and salt etc 🙂

Do you use a nano technology in your service?

We use ceramic coat which is the next best product for protection and shine/gloss and the best in tunnel application. Your typical car wash will dilute the wax on average of 1 par wax/coat to 10-15 part water ratio. We prefer to avoid diluting the wax to ensure customer cars are shinier and better protected against the environment than any other car wash. We use the best product internal application and near pure product to provide shinier and dryer cars out of the tunnel.

Do you have multiple locations around the island?
Right now we are a single location, but we are looking to expand in the future!
Do you offer Military Discount?
Yes, we offer 20% Military Appreciation on all of our services except for the Monthly Unlimited Clean.
Are you a touchless wash and will your equipment be safe on my car?
We are not a touchless but a tunnel with high pressure wash and closed-cell “foam fingers” that rotate 100rpm and “tickles” the cats to clean without scratches/swirls.
My convertible car is low and I'm concerned that the dryer could damage the top?
We service soft top vehicles as well. As long as there’s a way to secure the top so it doesn’t blow off from air coming from the top and side at 5ft, you should be fine.
