THE PRODUCTS BEHIND THE PROCESS
Professional products. Chosen for a reason
At Waverly, the products we use aren't an afterthought. We use professional-grade chemistry and dedicated microfiber tools throughout our wash and detail process, selecting what makes sense for the surface, the condition of the vehicle, and the result we're trying to achieve.
WHY KOCH-CHEMIE
Professional chemistry for a reason.
We chose Koch-Chemie because professional detailing requires more than a collection of good-smelling soaps. Their product system gives us purpose-built chemistry for washing, wheels, interiors, plastics, and finishing—allowing us to change our approach based on what the vehicle actually needs.
CLEANING · PROTECTION · FINISHING
We don't use the same product on every surface simply because it's convenient. The right product, used correctly, is part of the process.
01 - GENTLE SNOW FOAM
Start with the right wash.
Before a wash mitt ever touches the paint, we work to remove as much loose contamination as possible. Koch-Chemie's Gentle Snow Foam creates a dense, lubricating layer of foam across the vehicle, helping loosen and lift contamination before the contact wash begins.
Its pH-neutral formulation is designed to be gentle on existing waxes and sealants, while giving us the cleaning power and lubrication we want at the beginning of the wash process.
PRE-WASH · LUBRICATION · HAND WASH
Why we use it:
pH-neutral formulation
High-foaming
Suitable for pre-wash and hand washing
Designed for use on waxed and sealed surfaces
02 - MAGIC WHEEL CLEANER
Wheels need their own chemistry.
Wheels deal with some of the harshest contamination on a vehicle—brake dust, road grime, and iron particles. That's why we don't rely on the same soap we use on the paint.
Koch-Chemie's Magic Wheel Cleaner is an acid-free wheel cleaner with a reactive formula that helps dissolve iron particles and loosen stubborn contamination. Its thicker consistency allows it to stay on the wheel while it works.
BRAKE DUST · ROAD GRIME · IRON CONTAMINATION
Why we use it:
Acid-free formulation
Designed specifically for wheels
Reacts with iron contamination
Viscous formula for controlled dwell time
03 - HYDRO PLAST CARE
Clean isn’t the same as finished.
Once a vehicle is clean, the right finishing product can bring the surfaces back to a more natural, finished appearance. Koch-Chemie's Hydro Plast Care is a water-dilutable care product for appropriate plastic and rubber surfaces, both inside and outside the vehicle.
Its dilution can be adjusted to control the finish, from higher gloss to a more natural satin appearance. It also helps protect treated surfaces against soiling and UV exposure.
PLASTICS · RUBBER · FINISHING
Why we use it:
Suitable for interior and exterior plastics
Works on appropriate rubber surfaces
Finish can be adjusted to the vehicle
Helps protect against soiling and UV exposure
THE TOOLS MATTER TOO
The right towel for the right job.
Professional chemistry is only part of the equation. The towels and wash media we use determine how that chemistry is put to work on your vehicle. We use dedicated microfiber towels and wash media for different surfaces and stages of the process rather than treating every surface the same.
01 - DRYING
Dry Me a River
Our primary drying towel for safely removing water from the exterior after the wash.
02 - GENERAL DETAILING
Creature Edgeless
A versatile microfiber towel for cleaning and detailing work where a soft, edgeless towel is appropriate.
03 - DETAILING
Edgeless 365
A versatile towel used throughout the detailing process for cleaning, wiping, and finishing tasks.
04 - FINISHING
Eagle Edgeless 500
A plush microfiber towel used when we want extra softness for finishing and removing product residue.
CLEAN TOWELS. DEDICATED TOWELS. NO CROSS-CONTAMINATION
04 - LEATHER CARE
More care for the surfaces you live with.
Leather deserves more than a quick wipe-down. When leather care is added to your service, we clean and condition appropriate leather surfaces using Koch-Chemie's Leather Star.
Leather Star helps maintain a supple feel and natural appearance while leaving a subtle semigloss finish without making the surface unnecessarily slippery.
CLEAN · CONDITION · PRESERVE
IDEAL FOR
Smooth leather
Perforated leather
Appropriate suede/leather surfaces
Vehicles needing additional interior care
05 - SPRAY SEALANT S0.02
More gloss. More depth. More water beading
For customers who want to take the exterior finish a step beyond the standard wash, we can apply Koch-Chemie's Spray Sealant S0.02 to clean, dry paint.
It creates a high-gloss finish with visible color depth and a strong water-beading effect, adding a layer of protection to the exterior finish.
GLOSS · DEPTH · WATER BEADING
WHY ADD IT
Enhances gloss and color depth
Creates strong water beading
Adds an additional layer of surface protection
Applied panel by panel to clean, dry paint
THE PRODUCT IS ONLY HALF THE EQUATION
The right product still needs the right process.
Professional products don't create professional results on their own. The difference is knowing what to use, where to use it, how to use it, and when not to use it.
That's why we evaluate each vehicle before deciding how we're going to approach it.
