Even after a thorough wash, your vehicle's paint can hold onto embedded brake dust, rail dust, road contaminants, and Northern Nevada grit. If the surface still feels rough after washing, those contaminants may be bonded to the clear coat.
Detail Bros' Clay & Seal service goes beyond a standard hand wash by removing embedded contamination and finishing the exterior with ceramic sealant. The result is paint that feels smoother, looks glossier, and stays easier to maintain.
A standard Hand Wash is designed for routine cleaning. Clay & Seal takes exterior care further by removing bonded contamination before adding ceramic protection. It's an excellent option for vehicles that don't yet need a full ceramic coating but would benefit from a deeper exterior reset and longer-lasting protection.
If your paint still feels rough or gritty after washing, bonded contamination may remain on the clear coat. Clay-bar treatment physically removes contamination that normal washing can't.
The Hand Wash starts at $80+ and provides routine exterior cleaning. Clay & Seal starts at $150+ and adds iron removal, clay-bar decontamination, and ceramic sealant.
Protection can last for months depending on exposure and how the vehicle is maintained. Regular maintenance can help preserve its hydrophobic performance.
No. Clay & Seal provides ceramic sealant protection measured in months. Detail Bros' Ceramic Coating is a longer-term protective coating and starts at $800.
If your vehicle’s paint feels rough, looks dull, or needs more than a basic wash, Clay & Seal is a great way to restore a smoother finish while adding lasting protection. Detail Bros will remove embedded contaminants, refresh the surface, and finish it with a ceramic sealant to help keep your vehicle looking cleaner, glossier, and easier to maintain.
