Serving Vancouver & Clark County, WA
Vancouver cars see a little of everything: months of rain, cold east winds out of the Gorge, winter ice storms, and grime from the daily crawl on I-5, I-205 and SR-14. Clean Carma crosses the river so you don't have to, bringing a complete detailing setup to your home or office anywhere in Vancouver. No shop lobby, no waiting around, and no bridge traffic.
Gavin Lickey founded Clean Carma in 2018 and has more than 10,000 hours of detailing behind him. For Vancouver customers the appeal is simple: instead of fighting the I-5 or Glenn Jackson Bridge to reach a Portland shop, you get the same level of work in your own driveway.
Built for Clark County Weather
Between the Columbia River, the Gorge winds and the bridge commutes, Clark County creates a specific set of problems. Here's what we see most on Vancouver cars, and how we handle each one.
Clark County's long wet season means damp floor mats, rain jackets on seats and windows that fog up on every cold morning. Moisture soaks into carpet padding and causes musty odors, and a dirty film on the inside of the glass makes the fogging worse.
How we fix it: hot-water carpet extraction, seat shampoo, odor elimination and a full interior glass cleaning.
Felida, Salmon Creek and Hazel Dell have plenty of tall evergreens. Sap spots harden on paint, and needles collect at the base of the windshield and in door jambs, where they trap water and grow moss.
How we fix it: safe sap removal, clay bar decontamination and a full jamb and seal clean-out.
Crossing the I-5 or I-205 bridge every day, then running SR-14, SR-500 or Mill Plain, coats paint and wheels in an oily layer of brake dust, tar and diesel soot. It builds up fastest on the lower half of the car and the rear hatch.
How we fix it: foam wash, tar and iron removal, a wheel deep clean and streak-free glass.
Cold east winds out of the Columbia Gorge blow dust and debris onto parked cars, and winter ice storms bring de-icer, sand and grit that cling to wheels and lower panels. Wet boots then leave white stains on the carpets.
How we fix it: wheel and lower panel deep clean, full decontamination and carpet extraction to lift winter stains.
