When most people think of a wash, they underestimate how important it is. After a proper detail, it's the wash routine that determines how the interior and exterior looks for months, or years, to come. Automotive Renewal Service, ARS, is a proprietary system to GP and is developed by me.
The GP Automotive Renewal System:
Phase 1 – Clarification
Phase 2 – Rejuvenation
Phase 3 – Detoxification
Phase 4 – Concours
Every car that comes into the shop is evaluated to determine which phase best suits its current condition.
Phase 1 – Clarification
Your car is looking just a little less than pristine. Your interior and exterior have been well cared for, but both have areas that need some touching up. The potential is there for your car to be great‐looking, it just needs to be ‘revealed’. In this phase we’ll thoroughly hand wash your car and top it off with a coat of hand applied carnauba wax. We’ll vacuum your carpets and do a light treatment of interior surfaces, as well as clean your wheels and wheel wells to take care of any potentially damaging brake/rotor dust. We condition your tires and then do a final inspection. Clarification is what you might call regular maintenance: it’s intended primarily for cars that have already been fully detailed and have no inherent problem areas.
