Exterior Detailing That Comes to You

Exterior detailing is a deep clean, correction, and protection service for the outside of your vehicle that goes far beyond a car wash. It includes a safe hand wash, clay bar decontamination, paint correction to remove swirls and scratches, and protection with wax, sealant, or ceramic coating. In short, a wash gets your car clean, and exterior detailing makes the paint look new and protects it.

Most light scratches and swirl marks are in the clear coat and can be removed with machine polishing, also called paint correction. We polish the clear coat down to a smooth, even level so the scratch disappears and the gloss returns. Deeper scratches that have gone through the clear coat cannot be fully polished out, and we tell you honestly which is which before we start.

Waxing a car means applying a thin, even layer of wax to clean, dry paint, letting it haze, then buffing it off with a clean microfiber towel. Wax should always go on after the car is washed and decontaminated, never over dirt, or it seals the grime in. We apply wax as the final protective step so your paint stays glossy and shielded from UV and water.

A car wash removes surface dirt from the outside of your vehicle. Exterior detailing goes much deeper: it decontaminates the paint with a clay bar, corrects swirls and scratches through machine polishing, and seals the finish with wax, sealant, or ceramic coating. A wash keeps your car clean between details, while detailing restores and protects the paint at a level a wash cannot reach.

Exterior detailing is priced by your vehicle's size and condition, since a small sedan and a large truck take different amounts of work. A hand wash and wax sits at the lower end, while a full detail with paint correction and ceramic coating costs more. We confirm the exact price before your appointment, so you always know what you are paying up front.

Exterior detailing takes anywhere from about an hour for a wash and wax to a full day for a complete detail with paint correction and ceramic coating. The exact time depends on your vehicle's size, the package you choose, and the condition of the paint. We give you a realistic estimate up front and never rush the job.

For most vehicles that live outside and see the road daily, ceramic coating is worth it because it protects the paint far longer than wax. It bonds to the surface and lasts years, repels water and grime, and makes washing much easier. It costs more up front than wax, but it saves money and time over the years you own the car.

Tree sap and tar should be removed with a dedicated solvent or a clay bar, not scraped or scrubbed, which scratches the paint. We break the sap and tar down safely so they lift away without harming the finish, then protect the paint afterward. Removing them promptly matters, because sap and tar etch into the clear coat if they sit in the sun.
