Our best wash
Both are in the Ultimate — $26 for a single wash, or $40.95 a month unlimited. Here is what they actually do, and what they do not.
The sealant makes the surface hydrophobic, so rain and melting snow sheet off instead of sitting on the paint. Less standing water means fewer water spots, which is the main thing that makes a clean car look dirty again three days later.
Both sealants fill in the microscopic texture on clear coat, so light reflects more evenly. The car looks wet-shiny rather than flat, and darker colours show it most.
Utah sits at altitude and gets a lot of sun. A sealant layer takes some of the UV that would otherwise be oxidising your clear coat, particularly on a red or black car.
A sealed surface gives winter salt, bug splatter and road film less to hold onto, so the next wash gets the car cleaner with less work in the tunnel.
Each Ultimate wash layers a little more on. Someone washing weekly on an Unlimited plan ends up with noticeably better beading by the second month than after a single wash.
The two top washes are $6 apart on a single wash and $6.00 a month apart on a plan. This is the whole difference.

No, and it would be misleading to say otherwise. A detailer's ceramic coating is applied by hand to a decontaminated, polished surface, cures for hours, and lasts years. What we apply is a ceramic-infused sealant that goes on in the tunnel in seconds and lasts weeks. It is a much cheaper way to get most of the water beading and gloss, and it is not a substitute for a professional coating.
Expect a few weeks from a single Ultimate wash, depending on weather, how far you drive and whether the car sits outside. It builds up with repeated washes rather than wearing off all at once, which is why most people running the Ultimate are on the monthly plan.
Graphene sealants tend to sheet water off a little more aggressively and hold gloss slightly longer in heat, and they are less prone to the water spotting that ceramic alone can leave in hard water. Utah water is hard, which is why we run both rather than one.
Both are in the Ultimate, our top wash, at $26 for a single wash or $40.95 a month unlimited. The Platinum below it includes Aqua Shield and Flash Wax with a 24-hour rain guarantee, but not ceramic or graphene.
If it rains within 48 hours of an Ultimate wash, come back and wash again free. Bring your receipt or use your Unlimited plan. The Platinum carries the same guarantee for 24 hours.
No. These are sealants that layer on top. If you already have a professional ceramic coating, an Ultimate wash will not strip it, and the pH-balanced soap we use in the tunnel is safe over it.
Ceramic, graphene and the 48-hour rain guarantee, as often as you like, for $40.95 a month.
