About This Service
Exterior Cleaning That Removes Contamination and Road Grime
Exterior Vehicle Cleaning Designed to Remove Contamination & Road Grime
Vehicle paint constantly faces UV rays, road grime, oxidation, bug residue, and environmental contamination that reduce shine over time. Our exterior detailing services help clean, restore, and protect painted surfaces using professional hand washing, foam cleaning, and paint-safe detailing methods.
Process
What's Included
Every exterior detail follows the same 6-step process — in this order, every time, with no steps skipped. Package tier (Silver, Gold, Platinum) increases time and product strength on these steps — not fewer steps.
- Wheels and tires
faces, barrels where reachable, tires brushed, and wheel wells rinsed so brake dust and road film are lifted before we touch the paint.
- Pre-wash & hand wash
foam or pre-soak to loosen dirt, then a two-bucket contact wash with pH-balanced soap, clean mitts, and careful panel-by-panel rinsing including jambs and lower rockers.
- Clay bar treatment
where included in your package, synthetic or traditional clay with lubricant removes bonded contamination so paint feels smooth before protection.
- Drying
paint-safe drying with soft towels or forced air minimizes swirls and water spots on paint, glass, and mirrors.
- Paint protection
wax, sealant, or spray coating per package so the finish sheds water and gains UV defense; higher tiers use longer-lasting products.
- Windows and trim
exterior glass polished streak-free, and trim dressed where included so the whole exterior looks cohesive.
Basic tiers may shorten clay or use lighter protection; Platinum-style packages add more clay time, stronger sealant, and deeper trim and glass attention. Headlight restoration and engine bay cleaning are popular add-ons — see below.

FAQ
Questions We Get Often
Most sedans and crossovers take about 2–4 hours depending on package and how much grime is on the wheels and paint. Crew-cab trucks and large SUVs add time; Platinum-style packages with more clay and protection add time too. We give you a realistic window at booking based on vehicle and tier.
Yes — faces, barrels where we can reach safely, tires brushed, and wells rinsed. That happens before we touch the paint so brake dust is not smeared onto fresh panels. Heavy brake dust may need a dedicated wheel add-on or extra time on higher tiers.
Protection is included on the tiers that list it — usually as spray sealant, wax, or longer-life sealant depending on Silver, Gold, or Platinum. Entry options may emphasize wash and prep with a lighter protectant layer. Use the pricing tool for your package to see exactly what applies.
Yes, with chemicals and methods safe for clearcoat and trim. Severe tar or baked-on bugs add time; we do not scrape paint with razor blades on modern clearcoat without a clear reason. We tell you if anything risks needing paint correction instead of a detail pass.
A wash and wax may hide some micro-marring slightly, but true scratch and swirl removal requires machine polishing — paint correction, cut & buff, or clay and polish depending on severity. We will tell you at inspection if your finish needs more than a detail package.
We prefer shade, a garage carport, or a side of the car away from harsh sun so soap, rinse water, and protection products behave correctly. If shade is not available, we adjust process and timing and may shorten certain steps to protect your finish — we do not bake sealant onto hot panels in a reckless way.
Most daily drivers benefit from a full exterior detail every 6–10 weeks, or whenever water stops beading and wheels stay dirty right after a rinse. Highway commuters and winter salt areas lean toward the shorter end. Garage queens can go longer between visits.
Yes — our mobile setup includes professional wash products, equipment, and typically our own water and power so you are not required to hook up a hose or extension cord. If your community has restrictions, mention it when you book.
