Riverside Auto Spa indulges motorists and their begrimed vehicles with specialized washing and detailing services performed by a professional, uniformed staff. The Extreme wash includes a soft cloth wash, triple shine foam, cherry polish wax, a tire shine, a towel-dry, and a lavish lathering of door jambs that leaves your horseless carriage feeling even more out-of-place in a barnyard. The Works includes all of the winsome rituals of the Extreme, plus an interior vacuum, window cleaning, and dash wipe. The full-service detailing pampers autos with a thorough vacuuming, stain-removal treatment, meticulous scrub-down, a complete shampoo, and a vinyl protectant that repels hexes and other environmental ills. Door panels, dash, console, door jambs, windows, and rims all get cleaned, and the tires get shined. Finally, your auto receives a high-speed compound, polish, and wax.
