How long does a hand wax service take in Gilroy?

A typical hand wax takes 1-2 hours depending on vehicle size. We apply quality carnauba or synthetic wax by hand and buff to a smooth finish. Drop-off appointments are available Monday through Saturday at our Gilroy shop.

How often should I wax my car?

We recommend waxing every 2-3 months to maintain protection and gloss. Vehicles regularly parked outdoors in Gilroy or Morgan Hill may benefit from more frequent waxing due to sun exposure.

Is waxing better before or after window tinting?

Waxing works well after tint installs since the exterior is already clean. We can schedule both services together at our Gilroy location for convenience.

Do you serve Morgan Hill and San Jose for waxing?

Yes, we serve Gilroy, Morgan Hill, San Jose, Hollister, and surrounding South Bay areas. Our shop is located at 610 Holloway Rd in Gilroy, behind Target, with easy access from Highway 101.
