A proper wash in half an hour
Fast because it's practised, not because it's rushed. The same techniques used on a full detail, just stripped back to the exterior maintenance essentials. Here's everything that happens in the 30 minutes your car is in the studio.
Snow Foam Pre-Rinse
pH-neutral foam blanketed across the paint to soften and lift dirt before anything touches the surface. Loose grit drains away with the rinse instead of getting ground in by a mitt.
Two-Bucket Hand Wash
Wash bucket and rinse bucket worked separately so grit comes off the mitt instead of going back onto your paint. Top down, panel by panel, in straight lines. The wash method that doesn't leave swirl marks.
Wheel Faces & Tyres
Wheel faces individually cleaned with a dedicated mitt (not the same one used on paint). Tyres dressed with a satin-finish shine that won't sling onto your panels on the drive home.
Premium Hand Dry
Plush microfibre drying towels, not a blower forcing recirculated grit back onto wet paint. No water spots, no mineral deposits left to bake on in the Coolum sun.
Door Jambs Wiped
The bit every drive-through wash ignores. Door jambs hand wiped so you don't drip dirty water onto your trousers next time you get in. Small detail, makes the car feel properly clean.
No interior. No vacuum. No glass interior. No dash wipe. No mat shake-out. If you want the inside cleaned too, you're after the Xpress In & Out ($225, 45 to 60 minutes) or one of the Mini / Full Details. Quick Wash is exterior only, on purpose, to keep it fast and keep the price down.
Quick Wash, Xpress, or Mini Detail?
Three different jobs, three different prices, three different time commitments. Pick the one that matches what you actually need today.
Quick Wash
The weekly or fortnightly wash to keep your paint protected between bigger details. Snow foam, hand wash, wheels and tyres, hand dry. No interior.
You just want the outside clean. Quick stop, half an hour, in and out.
Xpress In & Out
Everything in Quick Wash, plus interior vacuum, dash and console wipe-down, glass inside and out, mats shaken and refit. A proper reset.
The interior's lived-in and you want both done in one hit. See Xpress →
Mini / Full Detail
Decontamination wash, clay bar, paint protection, deep interior including seats and carpets, full glass treatment. The car you forgot you owned.
It's been a while, you're selling, or you just want it properly sorted. See Mini / Full →
Three sizes. Flat pricing. No surprises.
Same wash regardless of size. Bigger cars take longer and use more product, that's it. Prices include GST.
Sedan
Sedans, hatches, small coupes. Mazda 3, Corolla, Civic, BMW 3 Series, Tesla Model 3, anything in that footprint.
SUV
Mid-size SUVs and wagons. RAV4, CX-5, X3, Tesla Model Y, Kluger, Outlander, anything in that range.
4WD / Ute
Full-size 4WDs, dual cab utes, large 7-seaters. Hilux, Ranger, LandCruiser, Prado, Patrol, Y62, X5, GLC and bigger.
If you're booking weekly or fortnightly, or running multiple vehicles, have a chat with Jack about regular pricing.
The maintenance wash that fits anywhere in your week
Quick Wash is built around the idea that a properly washed car shouldn't be a special occasion. Half an hour, sensible money, on the way to wherever you were going. Some of the most common reasons people book it.
The weekly or fortnightly
Keep the car looking right all the time, not just the week after a detail. Drop in on a Friday so it's clean for the weekend.
Coating maintenance
Got the car ceramic coated and want to keep the warranty intact? This is the wash to use. Hand wash with pH-neutral foam is exactly what the coating manufacturer recommends.
Stretching the gap
A few Quick Washes between full details means the paint stays right, contamination doesn't build up, and your next big service is easier on the car (and on the bill).
Try the studio
Cheapest way to see how JETWASH actually works before committing to a Mini Detail or ceramic coating. Same standard of work, smaller scope, fast turnaround.
Done for you
Apartment, townhouse, no hose. Or you've got the gear but never the time. Drop the car off, grab a coffee, pick it up clean.
A fraction of the water
A two-bucket hand wash uses dramatically less water than a hose running in the driveway. Good for the water bill and good for the council restrictions when they come around.
Before a test drive
Casual private sale, dealership trade-in, photos for Carsales or Marketplace. A Quick Wash makes the car look sorted and the buyer takes you more seriously.
Beach and dust runs
Quick stop at Coolum or Peregian, salt and dust on the paint, no sand in the carpets to worry about. Exterior off, back home clean.
Presentable on the road
Sales reps, tradies running signage, real estate showings. The car's part of the pitch. Quick Wash keeps it that way without burning a morning.
$55 for a wash that protects your paint, $35 for one that ruins it
If you're already paying $35 to $50 for a drive-through brush wash at the servo, you're roughly twenty bucks away from a wash that doesn't damage your car. That's the entire pitch. Here's what changes for the difference.
- ✓ Hand washed with a clean mitt
- ✓ pH-neutral snow foam pre-rinse, dirt softened before contact
- ✓ Two-bucket method, grit rinsed off the mitt every panel
- ✓ Premium drying towels, no water spots
- ✓ Wheel faces cleaned with a dedicated mitt
- ✓ Tyre dressing applied (no sling)
- ✓ Door jambs hand wiped
- ✓ Safe on ceramic coatings, doesn't strip the layer
- ✓ Paint stays scratch-free, swirl marks don't accumulate
- ✓ The same Jack who details $1,500 ceramic jobs does your $55 wash
- ✗ Rotating brushes that drag the last hundred cars' grit across your paint
- ✗ Aggressive detergent foam jetted on, no contact wash
- ✗ Same brush, every car, all day
- ✗ Air blower forcing recirculated dust onto wet paint, water spots in the sun
- ✗ Wheels brushed with the same gear that touched your paint
- ✗ Tyres usually skipped or sprayed with oily product that flicks onto panels
- ✗ Door jambs ignored, dirty water drips on your trousers
- ✗ Voids most ceramic coating warranties, harsh chemistry strips the layer
- ✗ Swirl marks accumulate, paint gets duller every wash
- ✗ Nobody on the other end of the wash who knows your car
If you're paying $35 to $50 for a servo wash anyway, you're $20 away from a wash that doesn't damage your car.
The price gap is small. The result gap is huge. And every brush wash you skip is a wash your paint doesn't have to recover from.
Book Your Quick WashQuick Wash questions, answered
How long does the Quick Wash take?
Thirty minutes from when the car rolls in to when it rolls out. Wait in the car park, head to a nearby cafe, or do a quick lap of the shops. The timing's deliberate, it's the fastest a proper hand wash can be done without skipping steps.
What's the difference between a Quick Wash and an Xpress In & Out?
Quick Wash is exterior only. Snow foam, hand wash, wheels and tyres, hand dry, done. Xpress In & Out adds the interior reset on top: vacuum, dash and console wipe, glass inside and out, mats. Xpress takes 45 to 60 minutes and starts at $225. If you want the inside cleaned too, go Xpress. If you just need the outside sorted, Quick Wash.
Is the interior cleaned at all?
No. Quick Wash is strictly exterior. No vacuum, no dash wipe, no glass inside, no mats. The door jambs are wiped because they're technically exterior and water sits there from the wash, but the cabin doesn't get touched. For interior work, you want Xpress or a Mini Detail.
Can I wait while it's being done?
Yes. Thirty minutes is short enough that most people stay. There's parking out front of the studio at 1/46 Lysaght Street and a few cafes within walking distance if you'd rather grab a coffee.
Will a Quick Wash remove water spots or scratches?
No. Quick Wash is a maintenance wash, not a correction. Water spots that have etched into the clear coat and scratches or swirl marks need Paint Correction or Gloss Enhancement to remove. If you're not sure which one you need, send a photo when you book and Jack will tell you straight.
How often should I book a Quick Wash?
Weekly or fortnightly for most people. Sooner if you park under trees, drive a lot, or live close to the coast (salt is rough on paint). The point of a Quick Wash is to be cheap and fast enough that you can use it regularly, that's where the value is.
Is this safe on my ceramic coating?
Yes, it's the right wash for a coated car. pH-neutral snow foam and a two-bucket hand wash is exactly what coating manufacturers (Gtechniq, Gyeon, all of them) recommend for maintenance. Drive-through brush washes use harsh detergents that degrade the coating over time and can void your warranty. If you've had your car coated here, this is the wash to use between top-ups.
Do you do utes and 4WDs?
Yes. Hilux, Ranger, LandCruiser, Patrol, Y62, dual cabs, tray utes, all good. Large vehicles fall into the $75 tier because they take longer and use more product, but the wash itself is the same.
Why is it the same price as a servo wash if it's better?
Honest answer: because the price band is the right place to compete. Quick Wash exists so there's no reason to use a drive-through. Cheap enough to book regularly, fast enough to fit in a lunch break, and the work itself is at the same standard as everything else done in the studio. Volume across the week is what makes the pricing work.
Do you do fleet pricing or regular customer rates?
If you're booking weekly, running multiple vehicles, or it's a work fleet, give Jack a call on 0497 731 719. There's room to work something out for regulars. For one-off wash bookings, the listed pricing is what it is.
