Detailing Wash – Toyota Avensis (2018)

A Toyota Avensis from 2018 arrived at our service center for a complete detailing wash—a service that combines precise care for both the exterior and interior of the vehicle. This procedure is among the most common choices for customers who want their car to look fresh, presentable, and protected. In this case, there was also a special moment: it was our very first customer, and we were able to show how a professional approach can change the condition and appearance of a car in just one day.

What a complete detailing wash includes

A detailing wash is comprehensive care that goes far beyond a regular hand wash. With the Toyota Avensis, we followed a step-by-step process so every detail of the car received maximum attention.

The process includes:

• thorough pre-wash and removal of heavy dirt
• contact wash of the body using high-quality detailing shampoos
• paint decontamination (removal of asphalt/tar, fallout rust, and deposits)
• cleaning of wheels and undercarriage
• washing of door jambs, body details, and rubber parts
• professional drying of the vehicle without leaving marks
• deep interior cleaning – vacuuming, cleaning plastics, detail care
• treating surfaces with products that restore appearance and protect materials

The result is a vehicle that looks like it has undergone a thorough refresh—clean, uniform, and without unnecessary signs of use.

Work process on the Toyota Avensis

After the car arrived, we performed a brief initial inspection to assess the condition of the paint, wheels, and interior. The Toyota Avensis was in typical family-use condition—dirt, dust, deposits, grime in hard-to-reach places, and dull interior plastics.

Then followed the detailer’s precise workflow:

1. Touchless pre-wash
We applied active foam that safely dissolves surface dirt and minimizes the risk of scratches during hand washing.

2. Contact wash
The entire body was hand-washed using the two-bucket method with quality shampoos, so the surface was perfectly clean and smooth after finishing.

3. Paint decontamination
Using chemical and mechanical processes, we removed bonded particles that aren’t visible but affect the appearance and smoothness of the surface.

4. Cleaning wheels and undercarriage
The wheels and their surroundings received special care. These areas get dirty the fastest and have a major impact on the overall look of the car.

5. Drying and final detailing of details
Every gap, edge, mirror, and plastic trim piece was hand-finished and dried.

6. Interior
The interior went through deep vacuuming, plastic cleaning, surface treatment, and a complete refresh. After completion, the cabin looked cleaner, brighter, and more pleasant.
For our first customer, we performed this service with maximum care—this is the work that forms the foundation of our detailing approach: everything must look as if the car has just come straight from the showroom.

Result

After the detailing wash, the Toyota Avensis looked significantly cleaner, the paint was smoother and visually brighter, and the interior was transformed beyond recognition. The car gained a representative appearance and the “new car” feel that the owner will appreciate even at handover.

A detailing wash is the ideal choice for anyone who wants to restore freshness, improve aesthetics, and extend the lifespan of materials—without the need for a more complex restoration.

The 2018 Toyota Avensis underwent a complete detailing wash that restored the cleanliness of both the exterior and interior and brought back a fresh feel.
