Total Wash

Salt air and coastal weather in Strand are hard on car paintwork—the combination of wind-blown salt spray and intense UV exposure requires more than a casual rinse to keep a vehicle looking maintained. Total Wash approaches the work with an understanding of what these elements actually do to clear coat and trim. Water restriction remains a reality in the Western Cape, so efficient hand-wash methods matter more than high-volume spray tunnels. The prep work counts: proper soap-and-water contact time, appropriate brush and cloth techniques, and thorough rinsing all play a role in protecting rather than scratching the surface. Regular attention to the salt accumulation on undercarriage and wheel wells prevents longer-term corrosion damage that compounds over time. For Strand residents, a wash service that acknowledges the local climate challenge makes the difference between cosmetic cleaning and genuine vehicle care.
