About this treatment

Looking for a treatment by Joe Huntley but paint correction isn't the end goal? The Ultimate Car Wash embodies the true understanding of automotive detailing. An intensive single day detail that aims to tackle every aspect of cleaning whilst leaving no stone unturned. This treatment is ideal for those who have just purchased a used vehicle and want it deep cleaned to that as-new feel.

For longer lasting results, this service is recommended bi-anually. Most commonly once before Spring/Summer and once before Autumn/Winter. This ensures your vehicle is never overloaded with contamination and the paintwork is well protected at all times. Perfect for those car lovers who regularly wash and maintain their already detailed vehicle, but require a more intense professional clean once or twice a year. 

Deep cleanse and decontamination

The Ultimate Car Wash begins with a level of cleaning that goes far beyond the surface. My goal is to strip away months of road grime, hidden salt, and bonded contaminants that a standard wash simply cannot touch. By jacking the vehicle up and accessing the areas usually left in the dark, I ensure that your car is physically clean from the chassis upwards before any protection is applied.


  • Engine & Chassis Care: I begin by cleaning and dressing the engine bay and the underside of the bonnet. The vehicle is then jacked up at each corner to allow me full access to deep-clean the wheel arches, wheels, and tyres, including the removal of stubborn tar deposits.

  • Intricate Cleansing: Every detail matters. I clean the door shuts and fuel filler cap, ensuring all hidden dirt and grease are meticulously removed.

  • Multi-Stage Pre-Wash: To ensure a scratch-free finish, I perform an extensive pre-wash. This includes a full rinse, lower-body cleansing, and a thick layer of snow foam to lift grit. I then agitate all cracks and crevices before a final rinse.

  • The Safe Wash: I use the proven two-bucket method alongside ultra-safe wash media to cleanse all exterior surfaces without inflicting swirl marks.

  • Deep Decontamination: To achieve a "silky smooth" feel, I perform a three-stage decontamination. This involves using iron fallout remover for ferrous metals, a tar and glue remover for tree sap and road deposits, and finally, a clay bar treatment to pull any remaining bonded contaminants from the paintwork.

Protection and interior care

Protection and interior care

Once the surfaces are surgically clean, I shift my focus to enhancing the appearance and preserving the finish. This phase is about adding depth to the paintwork and ensuring the interior is a fresh, hygienic environment for you to drive in. I use premium, non-silicone products to ensure a factory-fresh look that lasts for months, not days.


  • Paintwork Perfection: Before applying protection, I use a pre-wax cleanser to refine the paint's appearance. This ensures the surface is perfectly primed for a single layer of high-grade T1 Carnauba Wax, which provides a "warm" glow and 3 to 4 months of weather protection.

  • Exterior Dressing: To complete the look, the wheel arches and tyres are dressed with a professional non-silicone coating, leaving them with a crisp, factory-fresh appearance rather than a greasy shine.

  • Interior Sanitisation: Inside, I perform a thorough vacuum and wipe down of all surfaces. I pay special attention to the steering wheel and gear knob, deep-cleaning them to remove all traces of hand grease and body oils.

  • Stain & Glass Care: I address any isolated stains or dirt spots on the upholstery and finish by cleaning all glass surfaces to a perfect, lint-free clarity.
