2

We Come to You

Autoclean arrives at your home or workplace anywhere across Tauranga, Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, or surrounding areas. We bring everything needed, including water and power.

3

Pre-Rinse and Snow Foam

The vehicle gets a thorough rinse to shift loose dirt, followed by a snow foam pre-wash that dwells on the surface to break down grime before we touch the paint.

4

Two-Bucket Hand Wash

We wash the car by hand using a two-bucket method to avoid dragging contaminants across the paint. Wheels, arches, and door jambs are all cleaned separately.

5

Decontamination

Iron fallout remover is applied to the paintwork and wheels to dissolve embedded metallic particles. A clay bar then removes any bonded contamination the wash leaves behind.

6

Dry and Dress

The vehicle is fully dried using microfibre drying towels and a blower to eliminate water spots. Tyres, trim, and glass are all finished before we apply a hand-wax or sealant.

Cortez does a walk-around to make sure nothing's been missed. You get to see the result before he packs up and leaves.

Is This Right For You?

This service suits anyone who wants their vehicle looking sharp without the shortcuts a drive-through carwash takes with your paintwork. It's a great fit for utes and SUVs that spend time on dusty Bay of Plenty roads, as well as daily drivers that haven't had a proper clean in a while.

Common Questions About Exterior Detailing

How long does an exterior detail take?

Most vehicles take between two and three hours depending on size and condition. A larger ute or SUV with heavy contamination will take closer to three hours. Cortez will give you an accurate time estimate when you get your quote.

Do I need to provide water or power?

No, we're fully self-contained. Autoclean brings its own water supply and power source so we can work anywhere on your property, including driveways with no tap access.

What's the difference between a regular wash and an exterior detail?

A regular wash removes loose surface dirt. An exterior detail goes further with decontamination, clay bar treatment, and a protective wax or sealant that actually shields the paint. The result lasts significantly longer and leaves the paint in better condition.

How often should I get my car exterior detailed?

Every three to four months is a good baseline for most vehicles in Tauranga. If your car sits under trees, does a lot of highway driving, or spends time near the coast around Mount Maunganui or Papamoa, more frequent detailing helps keep salt air, sap, and bird droppings from damaging the paint.

Will this remove scratches and swirl marks?

An exterior detail improves the overall appearance and clarity of the paint, but deep scratches and heavy swirl marks require paint correction. If that's what you're after, ask Cortez about our paint correction service when you get your quote.
