The experienced staff at Detailz Auto Spa and The Clean Machine suds down vehicles with meticulous care and acute attention to detail. The Clean Machine's bronze package douses beloved transporters in soapy splendour by showering the exterior in a soft foam bath and by blasting away any action-movie stars clinging to the underbody. After the thorough rinse, a turbo dry systematically evaporates sudsy liquids, leaving the vehicle arid and shiny. For detail work, the wash 'n' wax includes a gold-package wash and extends the service to a spa treatment by coating the car in a Teflon-based carnauba wax. Human hands apply and remove the thick serum to ensure four months of sparkling UV protection and to train Detailz Auto Spa's staff for the national cake-frosting championship. Drivers can relax inside the lounge, where large LCD screens entertain eyes and massage chairs relax bodies.
