Hand washing and detailing, priced in five tiers by vehicle size. Basic Wash, Deluxe and Superior are walk-in — no appointment — from $25, $40 and $50 for a car, moving up through SUVs and trucks. The Ultimate (from $85) adds hand wax, HD Rain-X, clean floor mats and rubber trim dressing, and The Works, their full service detail (from $205), takes in carpet and seat shampoo, machine polish, engine detail, headlight restoration and headliner cleaning; both need booking. Interior-only detailing starts at $190 and headlight restoration at $59.99. Ceramic coating is the flagship: Nano Quartz protection priced $800 for a small car up to $2,000 for a large one, with multi-coatings from $499 — the shop makes the case that a coating chemically bonds to the paint and lasts years, unlike a wax that breaks down in weeks. They work on anything with wheels or a hull: cars, SUVs, trucks, vans, RVs, boats and commercial trucks, and offer mobile detailing. The retail arm, Perfect Touch Detail Solutions, sells 19 professional-grade products from quart bottles up to five-gallon drums — ceramic spray wax, tire shine, degreaser, carpet shampoo, glass cleaner, leather conditioner, microfibre towels and a full detail kit — for pickup or shipping. Open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
Perfect Touch Hand Carwash & Detail Center has been perfecting hand washing and detailing across Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill for more than ten years, run by David Matlock, who has over 25 years in professional detailing behind him. The shop works out of 2212 South Miami Boulevard in Durham and takes everything from a compact to an RV, a boat or a commercial rig. Beyond the bay it has grown a second business — Perfect Touch Detail Solutions, its own line of professional-grade car care products sold by the quart, gallon and five-gallon drum to both working detailers and weekend owners — and it has become a specialist in ceramic coating for customers who want protection measured in years rather than washes.
