THE PEOPLE

The first secret to the Wax Shack Q-Tip Detail is the people who are doing it! We are a family business that has been around for over 40 years and every person who works on your car is a highly trained technician paid as a skilled worker- never minimum wage employees. We care about your car!

THE EXTERIOR

  • Your vehicle is meticulously hand washed.

  • Unlike other shops that charge extra (a lot extra!) for paint correction, every complete and exterior Q-Tip detail at the Wax Shack includes buffing so your car always leaves looking it's best. And true to our reputation for being above industry standard, we use not a 1 or 2 step buffing process, but 3!

  1. Surface scratches and swirl marks are polished away with a high speed buffer.

  2. Paint is polished a second time with an orbital polisher to get a perfectly smooth finish and a deep shine.

  3. Paint conditioner and feeder oils are buffed into your paint with a dual action polisher to achieve the envied Wax Shack "wet look" or "mirror finish". Many people don't realize that just like your skin, your paint loses it's moisture (in the form of feeder oils) over time and that moisture needs to be replenished. Otherwise it dries out and the result is oxidation and breakdown, much like dry skin. Replenishing that moisture is critical to maintain healthy, vibrant paint- especially here in Texas! And slow, generous buffing with a dual action polisher and high end feeder oils is the real secret to the envied Wax Shack Wet Look finish.

  • Your vehicle is then hand waxed with REAL wax (that means 100% carnauba, folks) to seal the shine and add depth and protection.

  • Your wheels are meticulously polished by hand and protected to resist brake dust and road grime.

  • Your tires are cleaned and conditioned with "sling free" protectant.

  • Your trim and chrome are polished to a brilliant shine (even tail pipe extensions) at no extra charge.

THE INTERIOR

  • Your carpets and seats are professionally cleaned to remove spots, stains spills, and odors. We actually shampoo both carpets and seats, then extract them to truly eliminate stains. We never just run a steam wand over them to sink stains further in.

  • Your headliner is cleaned to remove spots and odors (that's the fabric on your ceiling).

  • The door panels and dash are shampooed and conditioned with UV protectant. You'll get to choose whether you want a natural matte finish, a medium gloss, or a high gloss.

  • All of your gauges, vents, dials- every little nook and cranny- are Q-tipped to remove dust and build up and conditioned with a special automotive detail brush made of horsehair.

  • There is no extra charge for leather, which is very carefully cleaned with a gentle pH-balanced cleaner, then conditioned with very high end products containing aloe and natural oils to keep your leather supple and healthy.

  • Touch screens are carefully cleaned with Mother's ReVision Touchscreen Cleaner.

  • Even the door jambs are cleaned and waxed

  • The trunk area is always included and is shampooed just like the rest of the interior.

FAQ:  WHY CHOOSE A REAL DETAIL SHOP OVER A "MOBILE DETAILER"

1. THE WEATHER: The elements frequently force mobile detailers to race against getting overheated from the sun or freezing in the wind. Rain, of course, forces work to stop. The little canopies used just aren't sufficient cover. It is essential that waxes and polishes are applied in the shade when the paint is cool.

2. EQUIPMENT: To be mobile, the equipment and tools are not the full sized professional versions that are heavy and cumbersome to repeatedly load and unload. Plus the real versions take up precious cargo space in a mobile vehicle. Smaller, less powerful versions of steamers, air compressors, vacuums, etc. compromise quality.

3. LOCATION: You won't have to worry if the detailer will show up or be late- or leave a mess in your driveway. You won't have to worry about who you are inviting to be around your home. Instead of the potential issues in doing the detail on location, we offer the benefits of a real shop without sacrificing convenience. If you need a ride back to your home or work we are happy to give you a lift. We can even pick up and deliver your vehicle for free in most cases. The Wax Shack wants you to have the best of convenience AND provide you with the best possible detail with the finest equipment available.

Samples of our Customer Reviews:

"The Wax Shack keeps my fleet of Antique Limousines looking brand new!
I have used them for years and wouldn't trust anyone else!"

-Sam Basset, owner of Antique Limouisines of Austin

"Well, let me ask you this; do you want your car to look like it just got washed at the gas station? Or do you want it to look like newer than when it rolled off the lot? My truck came back looking like it had been coated in diamonds and wrapped in mirrors. The wax job was so good, it blew my mind."

-Colton K., Yelper

"I thought 'Real Auto Detailing' was just a slogan- but I actually watched them go over my truck with Q-Tips! They really do DETAIL the car- it was a completely different experience from those big car washes."
and from another visit:
"My used, new-to-me car now looks new to everyone!"

Kent T., Yelp
