Process
Chemistry first.
Pressure second.
Protection always.
Most damage done to cars happens while "cleaning" them. The entire Cromo process is built to remove everything from the surface while adding nothing to it — no swirls, no scratches, no shortcuts.
The sequence
Six steps.
Fixed order.
Pre-soak on arrival
Bug splatter, tar, and road film are chemistry problems, not pressure problems. The dirtiest zones get an alkaline pre-spray the moment we arrive, so dwell time works while the rig sets up.
Koch-Chemie Green StarSnow foam
A dense foam blanket clings to the paint and dissolves loose contamination, so the heavy grit rinses away before anything ever touches the surface.
Koch-Chemie Gentle Snow FoamContact wash
Two-bucket method, clean mitt faces per panel, coating-safe shampoo. Safe on ceramic-coated, sealed, and bare paint alike — and filtered onboard water means no hard-water spotting.

Tar remover dissolves what's bonded on; clay treatment pulls out embedded fallout until the paint reads glass-smooth under your hand. This is the step you can literally feel. (Full & Premium tiers.)

Compressed air flushes dust from vents, seams, and switches. Steam sanitizes where it's safe; hot-water extraction lifts what's ground into carpet and fabric. Leather, plastics, and alcantara each get their own correct product — never one spray for everything.

Panels are dried in shade with a sealant-infused drying aid, trim is coated, tires are dressed with a sealant that stays put, and glass is polished streak-free. The last step of every job is protection — because the detail should still be visible next month.

Overkill is
the point.
Anyone can make a car look clean for a day. The difference between a wash and a detail is what's still true a month later.
Perfectionist results don't come from secret products — they come from sequence, dwell time, and refusing to skip the invisible steps. That's why the process is locked: the same order, every car, every time, whether it's a daily commuter or the car you only drive on Sundays.
