Hand car wash
Thick foam goes on first to soften and lift road grime, then the car is washed by hand and chamois dried. Door jambs are washed and dried, the interior is vacuumed and an air freshener finishes it off.

What’s included
Why choose it
Most swirl marks come from grit being dragged across the paint. The foam softens and lifts that grit first, so there’s far less of it under the wash mitt.
Thick foam hangs on doors, bumpers and the rear of the car, giving it time to break down road film, bugs and traffic grime instead of running straight off.
Foam works its way into badges, grilles, wheel spokes and door shuts — the places a sponge alone struggles to reach.
After the foam, every car is hand washed, chamois dried, door jambs done, vacuumed inside and finished with an air freshener.

FAQ
Still wondering? Just drive in — our team is happy to help.
A foam car wash starts with a thick layer of foam that sits on the car and loosens dirt before anyone touches the paint. It’s then rinsed and the car is washed by hand. At White Diamond the Foam Wash also includes a chamois dry, door jambs, an interior vacuum and an air freshener.
For most cars, yes. The foam pre-soak removes a lot of loose grit before the hand wash, which means less rubbing and a lower risk of swirl marks — especially on dark paint.
Every one to two weeks suits most Sydney daily drivers. Wash sooner after rain, a beach trip, or if bird droppings, sap or bugs land on the paint, as they can mark it if left to bake in the sun.
Foam washing is a common way to clean coated and wrapped cars because it reduces the scrubbing needed. Just let our team know about any wrap, coating or recent paintwork before we start.
