Gloss Garage is a car wash on Best Island, in the Tasman district, with a Google rating of 5.0. Its name suggests a focus on a glossy finish.
A good car wash cleans thoroughly without damaging the paint. Hand washes are gentler than automatic brush washes, which can leave fine swirl marks on dark paintwork, while touchless automatic washes use high-pressure water and detergent and avoid contact with the car. Ask what each wash level includes, as options may cover wheels, tyres, an interior vacuum or a wax, and say if you want the wheels or the underbody done, particularly after driving on salty or muddy roads. Road salt and bird droppings can harm paint if left, so wash soon after exposure. Remove loose items, and check the car afterwards for missed spots before you leave. Regulars wash regularly rather than rarely, and dry the car to avoid water marks.
For drivers on Best Island and in Tasman, Gloss Garage is a local place to get the car cleaned.
