So, continue reading to discover how this unique washing method can make your car look and feel brand new.

Starting From Interior

When it comes to car cleaning, we always begin with the interior, ensuring every corner is spotless before moving to the exterior. The process starts with a thorough vacuuming of the entire cabin, covering front seats, mid-row, rear seats, and boot space to remove dust, dirt, and hidden debris. Once the vacuuming is done, we perform deep cleaning of all interior areas including seats, doors, console, and vents to restore freshness. Finally, we apply interior polish to dashboards, doors, and plastic components, giving the cabin a renewed shine and making it look perfectly detailed and well-maintained.

Vacuuming Interior

Vacuuming the interior is the first step in car cleaning, ensuring the cabin is free from loose dirt and dust. We carefully vacuum every corner of the car, starting from the front row, moving to the mid and back rows, and finishing with the boot space. Seats, carpets, console, and hidden areas are thoroughly cleaned to remove debris. This step not only enhances cleanliness but also prepares the entire interior for the next stage of deep cleaning and detailing.

Deep Cleaning Interior

After vacuuming is complete, we move toward interior deep cleaning to ensure every part of the cabin is spotless. We start from the steering wheel, carefully cleaning and sanitizing it, followed by the dashboard and car console. All seats are thoroughly detailed to remove dirt and restore freshness. Each door panel is also cleaned from inside, reaching every corner. This process not only improves hygiene but also revives the overall look, making the car’s interior feel fresh, polished, and like new.

Polishing Interior

Polishing the interior is the third step of detailing after vacuuming and deep cleaning. We carefully apply polish to every part of the interior, starting with the steering wheel, then moving to the dashboard, car console, and inside all doors. Different polishes are used depending on the material, ensuring proper care and finish. Plastic, leather, and vinyl parts are treated individually to restore their shine and protect them from wear. This step enhances the look, leaving the car interior glossy and refreshed like new.

Let’s Move To Exterior

Once the interior detailing is completed, we move on to the exterior, ensuring every part of the car gets equal attention. We begin by detailing the logos and badges to remove hidden dirt, followed by cleaning and detailing the fuel port. After these fine touches, we proceed with an ultra foam wash using colourful foam, where in this case we used a striking blue foam that looks attractive and cleans effectively. Finally, we dry the entire car thoroughly and polish the complete exterior to restore its shine, leaving the vehicle looking stunning and refreshed.

Exterior Spot Detailing

Exterior spot detailing focuses on cleaning those overlooked yet important areas of your car that add to its overall look and finish. We begin by carefully detailing the car logos and branding badges to restore their shine, followed by deep cleaning the fuel port to remove grime and frozen oil. Additional attention is given to hidden or stubborn spots across the exterior that often accumulate dirt. This process ensures every detail of the car’s exterior is refreshed, clean, and looking perfectly polished.

Under Body Wash

The underbody wash is one of the most important processes in car cleaning, as it targets the hidden areas beneath the vehicle. Using an underbody lancer with high-pressure water, we thoroughly clean the entire undercarriage to remove dirt, frozen mud, and road grime. This process not only ensures that every part of the car is cleaned but also helps prevent rust formation on metal parts, extending the vehicle’s life and maintaining its overall condition.

Tyre Cleaning

Cleaning Tyre is an essential step in the detailing process to enhance the look of the car. We detailed all four tyres along with the spare tyre mounted at the back. First, we sprayed cleaning foam over each tyre, then scrubbed thoroughly using a tyre brush to remove dirt and grime. After rinsing with water, we applied liquid tyre polish to restore the deep black finish and make the tyres glossy, giving the vehicle a fresh, showroom-like appearance.

Exterior Pre-Wash

After completing the spot detailing, we moved to the pre-wash stage to prepare the car for the ultra foam wash. In this process, a high-pressure water wash is used across the entire exterior body to remove loose dirt, dust, and surface contaminants. This step ensures that hidden grime is flushed out and the surface is properly cleaned before applying foam. With the pre-wash done, the car is now perfectly ready for the next step of snow foam application.

Colourful Blue Foam Wash

The Colourful Blue Foam Wash is one of the most eye-catching and effective steps in our detailing process. After completing the pre-wash, we applied a thick layer of vibrant blue foam across the entire car exterior. The striking blue foam not only looked amazing but also worked effectively in loosening tough dirt, grime, and road contaminants. Using a soft cleaning glove, we gently rubbed the foam to avoid scratches while ensuring deep cleaning. Finally, we performed a high-pressure wash, leaving the car spotless, fresh, and perfectly ready for drying and polishing.

After the foam wash, we dried the entire car exterior carefully using a high-pressure blower and a microfiber cloth. This ensured no water spots or streaks remained on the surface, leaving the body completely dry and ready for the next step—applying polish to restore its natural shine.

Polishing Exterior

After completing the ultra foam wash and drying the car thoroughly, we moved on to polishing the exterior. We carefully applied a premium metal polish to the entire car body to restore its natural shine and protect the paint surface. Next, we polished all exterior plastic parts using a high-quality plastic polish to ensure they remain glossy and protected from fading over time. This not only enhanced the car’s appearance but also created a protective layer against UV rays and weather conditions. The process left the car shining beautifully, looking refreshed and well-maintained like brand new.

Final Thoughts

Detailing is not just about cleaning—it’s about creating an experience. Using colourful foam during a wash not only delivers excellent cleaning results but also makes the process visually appealing. The thick, vibrant foam clings to the car’s surface, breaking down dirt, grime, and tough contaminants effectively. At the same time, the burst of colour attracts customer attention, making the detailing process look exciting and professional. With its pleasant fragrance and superior cleaning ability, colourful foam adds both functionality and flair, leaving the car spotless, fresh, and shining like new. From interior preparation to exterior detailing, every step enhances the overall result, but the colourful foam wash is truly the highlight that sets the process apart.
