Fill out the form and Kevin will follow up to confirm your vehicle type, your location in the Hudson Valley, and get you scheduled.

2

We Come to Your Driveway

MkAutoLab comes to you. Have your vehicle parked on a flat surface with access to the exterior. No hose hookup needed on your end.

3

Hand Wash and Rinse

Every wash starts with a full rinse to clear loose debris before any contact. We use the two-bucket method to protect your paint from scratches during the wash.

4

Wheels, Jambs, and Glass

Wheels and wells get a dedicated clean to cut through brake dust and grime. Door jambs and all glass are wiped down before we move inside.

5

Quick Interior Tidy

Mats get vacuumed, the dash and console are wiped, and the interior is left looking cared for without a full interior detail price tag.

6

Final Detail and Inspect

We hit the exterior with a quick-detailer spray, dress the tires, and do a full walk-around to make sure nothing was missed before we pack up.

Is This Right For You?

Maintenance washes are built for Hudson Valley drivers who want their truck, SUV, or daily commuter kept clean between full details, without the time or hassle of doing it themselves. If your vehicle sees regular use on Hudson Valley roads, especially during mud season, pollen season, or winter salt months, a consistent wash schedule is the simplest way to protect your paint long-term.

Common Questions About Maintenance Wash

How often should I get a maintenance wash?

For most Hudson Valley drivers, every two to four weeks is the right cadence. During winter and mud season when roads get heavy with salt and grime, washing more frequently helps protect your paint and prevents buildup from bonding to the surface.

What is the difference between a maintenance wash and a full detail?

A maintenance wash focuses on keeping a clean vehicle clean. It covers the exterior hand wash, wheels, glass, door jambs, and a quick interior tidy. A full detail goes deeper, including paint decontamination, interior extraction, and paint correction work. If your vehicle is already in good shape, a regular maintenance wash is what keeps it that way.

Do I need to be home when you wash my car?

You do not need to be home as long as we have clear access to the vehicle and can confirm the details beforehand. Many MkAutoLab customers in the Hudson Valley have us take care of their truck or SUV while they are at work.

Will a regular hand wash scratch my paint?

Not the way MkAutoLab does it. We use the two-bucket method with clean, pH-neutral soap and proper wash media to minimize contact scratching. This is one of the main reasons a hand wash by a detailer is safer for your paint than a drive-through machine wash.

Does a maintenance wash include any interior cleaning?

Yes. Every maintenance wash at MkAutoLab includes a vacuum of the front and rear floor mats and a wipe-down of the dashboard and console. It is not a deep interior detail, but your cabin will be noticeably cleaner after every visit.
