The products touching your car matter just as much as the hands washing it. At Unlimited Auto Wash, every vehicle at every one of our six Palm Beach County locations is treated exclusively with Chadwick’s car care products a locally grown, nationally known line built on more than 50 years of real-world detailing knowledge.
Here is the full story: who Neil Chadwick is, what the Chadwick’s Signature Car Care product line includes, and why we made the deliberate decision to partner with this brand above every other option available to us.
Who Is Neil Chadwick?
Every great product line has an origin story. Chadwick’s Signature Car Care begins with a 13-year-old kid who loved cars and never stopped.
Neil Chadwick started cleaning cars in 1965. His father taught him the fundamentals, oil changes, tire replacement, basic cleaning and the lessons stuck. By 1967 he was cleaning vehicles for golf course members out of a barn, building a reputation for quality long before the word “detailing” entered the mainstream vocabulary.
He took a brief detour in the early 1970s, spending time as a professional hockey player from 1972 to 1974, before returning to his first love. In 1975 he trained under a master detailer who introduced him to professional buffers and lamb’s wool pads – tools that would shape the technical foundation of everything he built afterward.
By 1984, Neil opened Chadwick’s Cosmetic Car Care Inc. in Norfolk, Virginia. It was the only facility of its kind in the entire state. His reputation grew quickly. He held the National Car Rental account for eight years with four full-time employees dedicated entirely to fleet care. In 1991 he pivoted toward private collections of classic and exotic vehicles, where the standards are higher and the margin for error is zero.
Then in 2004, Neil relocated to Palm Beach, Florida and became the exclusive detailer for Lamborghini Palm Beach. That single fact tells you everything you need to know about where his products stand in the hierarchy of car care. When a Lamborghini dealership trusts you exclusively with their inventory, your chemistry and your technique have been tested at the highest level.
Today, more than $15 billion worth of vehicles have been treated with Chadwick’s products. His shop is located at 1396 N. Killian Drive in Lake Park, FL just miles from our own Palm Beach County locations. Locally grown. Nationally known.
Why Unlimited Auto Wash Chose Chadwick’s Exclusively
When we talk about what sets Unlimited Auto Wash apart, the conversation always comes back to two things: the fact that we are a 100% hand car wash, and the products our team applies to every vehicle.
Using a machine tunnel wash with generic chemicals is easy. Sourcing, training on, and exclusively committing to a premium product line takes deliberate effort. We made that choice because our customers trust us with their vehicles – daily drivers, weekend cars, family SUVs, and luxury automobiles and they deserve products that perform at the same level our team does.
Chadwick’s products are:
- Biodegradable, pH neutral, organic, and non-toxic – safe for our team members who work with them every single day, and safe for Palm Beach County’s waterways, canals, and the Loxahatchee River ecosystem
- Developed and tested in South Florida’s extreme climate – not formulated for mild Midwestern conditions and shipped south. Chadwick’s chemistry is proven against our specific combination of intense UV radiation, salt air, frequent rain, and high humidity
- Used on the world’s most valuable vehicles – from Lamborghinis at the dealership level to Pebble Beach show cars that won first place using Chadwick’s Triple Play system
- Manufactured locally – Neil Chadwick operates in Lake Park, Florida. When we say “locally grown, nationally known,” we mean it literally
We are also an ISO 14001 certified operation.
Here is a breakdown of the full line we use at Unlimited Auto Wash and what each product does for your vehicle.
Chadwick’s Xtreme Ceramic-Infused Formula
The flagship product. Chadwick’s Xtreme is a single-bottle solution that cleans, polishes, and protects simultaneously. It is infused with ceramic SiO2 technology, delivering the longevity, durability, and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties that serious ceramic coatings are known for without requiring a multi-day shop application.
Each 23oz bottle provides approximately 15 applications. It includes built-in UVA/UVB sunscreens, which is critical in South Florida where ultraviolet radiation breaks down paint and clear coat faster than almost anywhere else in the country.
The complete Chadwick’s Xtreme System pairs the formula with the BGone Surface Prep Solution, the Chadwick’s Buffer Blok, and a set of 70/30 micro towels. Together they form a complete surface preparation, application, and bonding process that delivers what Chadwick’s calls an award-winning show car finish.
At Unlimited Auto Wash, this chemistry is at the core of our Chadwick’s Signature Exterior Ceramic Protective Finish, starting at $99 for sedans and small SUVs. The Xtreme formula is hand applied and machine polished, adding a protective ceramic finish to your vehicle’s exterior surfaces.
Grand Slam Graphene Gloss Enhancer
Graphene is the next generation of paint protection technology, and Grand Slam is how Chadwick’s delivers it. This graphene-based gloss and optics enhancer lays down an additional protective layer that works with any ceramic coating underneath – including the Xtreme formula to create what Chadwick’s describes as a bulletproof finish.
What sets Grand Slam apart technically is its cumulative formula: each application builds on the previous one, increasing both the depth of gloss and the durability of protection over time. The more consistently it is applied, the better it performs.
At Unlimited Auto Wash, Grand Slam is a key component of two of our most popular service tiers:
- Ultimate Special ($45 single wash / $85/month membership) – includes Grand Slam Graphene Windshield Repellent, which is longer lasting and more durable than Rain-X
- Chadwick’s Signature ($55 single wash / $105/month membership) – includes the full Grand Slam Graphene High Gloss Shield applied to the vehicle’s painted surfaces
Grand Slam is also available as a standalone add-on ($12 for non-members, $10 for members) at any of our six locations.
XSling Tire Dressing
Tire and trim products are where most car care lines cut corners. XSling does not. This ceramic-infused dressing is formulated for rubber, plastic, and interior vinyl surfaces, and it comes in a crème form that eliminates the product waste common with spray-based alternatives.
Two features make XSling genuinely different from what you find in retail stores:
- It dries instantly and will not sling. That black spray residue that ends up on your freshly washed door panels after a cheap tire dressing – XSling eliminates that entirely.
- UVA/UVB sunscreens are built in. In Palm Beach County, unprotected rubber and plastic surfaces fade, crack, and oxidize fast. XSling actively prevents that process.
The result is a rich, lustrous shine without the greasy wet look that makes inexpensive dressings look cheap within hours of application.
At Unlimited Auto Wash, XSling is applied as part of our tire shine service – included in the Wheel Deal package and above – and as a component of the Chadwick’s Signature Exterior Detail, where it is used specifically on exterior trim.
BGone Surface Prep Solution
Before any protective product can bond properly to paint, the surface has to be clean at a chemical level. BGone removes existing waxes, sealants, oils, and surface contaminants that ordinary washing leaves behind. It is the starting point of the Chadwick’s system – the step that makes every application afterward more effective and longer lasting.
Each 8oz bottle provides five to six full-vehicle applications, making it a cost-efficient component of a professional preparation protocol.
Buffer Blok
The Buffer Blok is the application tool central to the Chadwick’s bonding process. It facilitates even distribution of the Xtreme formula during machine polishing and plays a direct role in the catalytic curing that allows the ceramic chemistry to bond to the paint surface properly. This is not a generic foam applicator – it is an engineered tool designed specifically to work with the Chadwick’s Xtreme formula.
Microfiber Towels
Chadwick’s 70/30 micro towels – 70% polyester, 30% polyamide – are the finishing touch in the system. The blend is designed for surface-safe buffing that lifts residue without introducing micro-scratches. They are available in 4-packs and 12-packs and are part of the complete Xtreme System kit.
Real Results at Unlimited Auto Wash
Customers who experience the Chadwick’s Signature tier routinely describe their vehicles as looking “brand new.” That outcome does not come from a single product alone – it comes from the combination of trained hands, professional technique, and chemistry developed specifically to perform at this level.
Rick Schmidt of NPD used Chadwick’s Triple Play system and won first place at Pebble Beach – one of the most prestigious concours events in the world. Louise from Palm Beach Gardens put it simply: “You are a genius… every car in my household is CHADWICK’S.” Multiple professional detailers have reported replacing 30 to 50 bottles of competing products with just Chadwick’s line.
At Unlimited Auto Wash, we wash and detail more than 300,000 vehicles per year across our six locations. Our 95% repeat customer rate tells you something important: people see the results, and they come back. The Chadwick’s product line is a direct contributor to that outcome.
