Serving Gresham & East County
Gresham is where Clean Carma started, and it's still home. We know what east county does to a car: months of rain, the east wind blowing debris out of the Gorge, grime from I-84 and Powell, and the salt and slush that come back from every Mt. Hood trip. Clean Carma brings a complete detailing setup to your driveway or office anywhere in Gresham, so there's no shop lobby, no waiting around, and no drive into Portland.
Gavin Lickey started Clean Carma in 2018 at 17 and has logged more than 10,000 hours of detailing since. Having started right here in Gresham, he knows how Gorge dust, wet dog hair after a trail hike and Mt. Hood road salt each need to be handled, and he treats every east county car like his own.
Built for East County Weather
Gresham sits between the city, the Columbia Gorge and the road to Mt. Hood, and each one leaves its mark on your car. Here's what we see most on Gresham vehicles, and how we handle each one.
With Powell Butte, Oxbow Park and the Gorge trails close by, Gresham cars carry muddy boots, wet dogs and gear home every weekend. Dog hair weaves into carpet, and mud dries into seat seams and door pockets.
How we fix it: pet hair removal, hot-water carpet and seat extraction, and odor elimination.
Homes on Gresham Butte, Hogan Butte and around Pleasant Valley sit under tall firs, and the east wind knocks down branches, cones and needles all winter. Debris packs into the cowl and window seals, holds moisture and starts growing moss.
How we fix it: sap and debris removal, clay bar decontamination and a full clean-out of cowls, jambs and seals.
Whether you take I-84 toward Portland or crawl along Powell, Burnside or Division, east county traffic throws up a steady mix of road oil, tar and brake dust. Wheels darken quickly, and the film on the windshield glares at night.
How we fix it: foam wash, tar and iron decontamination, a wheel deep clean and streak-free glass.
Ski and snow trips up Highway 26 bring back de-icer, grit and slush that cling to lower panels and wheels. Inside, wet boots and snow gear leave white salt stains on carpets and mats.
How we fix it: wheel and lower panel deep clean, full decontamination and carpet extraction to lift salt stains.
