Basic Clean: For Regular Maintenance

Basic Clean is a complete touch-free wash: a high-pressure wash, a clear coat application, a spot-free rinse so minerals don’t dry on your paint, and a blower. It’s ideal if you wash often and mostly need to remove everyday dust and pollen.

Premium Shine: Cleaning Plus Protection

Premium Shine adds a ceramic wash and clear coat sealant, which help water bead and keep grime from sticking between washes. It also includes an underbody wash, which matters after driving on muddy roads, and a tire cleaner for a finished look. It’s a good fit for trucks, SUVs, and anyone who drives on rural or construction roads.

Make it a habitMonthly plans start at $27 and cover up to 15 washes. No contracts, cancel anytime.

Ultimate Wash: Maximum Gloss and Water Repellency

Ultimate Wash adds a graphene protectant, gloss enhancement, and an advanced water repellent. It’s the best choice for new cars, dark paint, ceramic-coated vehicles, and drivers who want the deepest shine and the most protection from Texas sun and rain.

Every automatic car wash names its tiers differently, but most car washes follow the same ladder: a basic exterior clean, a mid tier that adds protectants, and a top tier with premium sealants. Here’s how ours compare so you can pick with confidence.

Tesla Wash: pH-Neutral for Tesla Trim

Tesla’s Owner’s Manual recommends pH-neutral car shampoos and warns against acidic, caustic, or highly alkaline cleaners. Tesla Wash gives you everything in the Ultimate Wash — graphene protectant, gloss enhancement, and advanced water repellent — using a pH-neutral formula designed to reduce the risk of discoloration on Tesla’s exterior trim. It’s $24 for a single wash or $40 a month, the same price as Ultimate.

Which One Should You Choose?

For most drivers, Premium Shine ($18) is the sweet spot — real protection for $4 more than a Basic Clean. Pick by how you use your car:

  • Daily commuter, light dirt: Basic Clean
  • Truck, SUV, or muddy roads: Premium Shine, for the underbody wash
  • New car, dark paint, or ceramic coating: Ultimate Wash
  • Driving a Tesla: Tesla Wash, with pH-neutral chemistry that follows Tesla’s wash guidelines

Whatever you choose, nothing touches your paint but water, detergent, and air. Read why touch-free is safe for ceramic coatings.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is each car wash package at Ben’s? Basic Clean is $14, Premium Shine is $18 and Ultimate Wash is $24 per wash at Ben’s ScratchFree CarWash in Fort Worth. Monthly plans are $27, $34 and $40 and cover up to 15 washes a month. The Tesla Wash is $24 per wash or $40 a month.

What’s the difference between Basic, Premium and Ultimate? Basic Clean is a full touch-free wash with a spot-free rinse and dry. Premium Shine adds a ceramic wash and foam conditioner for extra gloss and protection. Ultimate Wash adds a graphene protectant on top of that — the most shine and water repellency of the three.

Which package is best for a new or ceramic-coated car? Premium Shine or Ultimate Wash. Both add protective layers that boost gloss and water beading, and because every package at Ben’s is 100% touch-free, there are no brushes to scratch new paint or wear down an existing ceramic coating.

Do the packages cost more for trucks or SUVs? No. Every vehicle up to 8 feet tall pays the same $14–$24 per wash at Ben’s — including lifted trucks, duallies and full-size SUVs — unlike many tunnel washes that add size upcharges for larger vehicles.

Is the Tesla Wash only for Teslas? No. The Tesla Wash is a pH-neutral version of the Ultimate Wash designed to reduce the risk of discoloration on Tesla trim and sensitive EV finishes, but any driver who wants the gentlest chemistry on their paint can choose it.
