Cruz Car Wash’s NEW Auto Detailing Steamer

Most car washes detail using an extractor, which pumps hot soapy water into the carpet and then sucks it out, like a home carpet cleaner. This leaves the car damp for extended periods and can create mold. Cruz Car Wash’s new steamer drives the dirt to the surface and uses very little water to achieve its goal. Customers can drive away in a virtually dry car. An added bonus is that we use almost no chemicals to clean even the dirtiest interiors!

Come find out why Cruz Car Wash is the number one Santa Cruz Auto Detailing specialist.

We often detail cars about to be sold. A typical response from the owners when they come to pick up their vehicles is, “Now I’m not so sure I want to sell it... it’s like a new car!” We need your vehicle at least a half day and a full day is ideal.

We suggest that you get the exterior of your car detailed every six months for maximum protection and value preservation. Additional charge for larger vehicles.
