What Is Exterior Car Detailing?
Exterior car detailing is all about cleaning and freshening up the exterior of your car. Over time, the elements can really damage how your car looks – dirt, bird poop, and tree sap can make the paint look dull and faded, and the chrome can start to lose its shine.
The detailing process begins with a full wheel and tire cleaning, followed by a pre-rinse and thorough hand wash to remove surface-level grime and debris. Next, an iron remover solution is applied to the paint to dissolve any ferrous metal particles. Then, a clay bar is used to gently extract any remaining embedded contaminants the wash couldn’t reach. Finally, a protective wax or sealant is applied, leaving the paint glossy and refreshed.
The end result is an exterior that looks as good as new, sure to turn heads wherever you go.

Top 3 Benefits Of Exterior Auto Detailing
Protect Your Vehicle's Paint
Regular exterior detailing helps to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants that can gradually erode your vehicle's paint over time. By maintaining a clean and well-protected exterior, you can preserve the original luster and condition of your car's paint, preventing premature fading, oxidation, and other types of damage.
Enhance Appearance And Value
A well-maintained and detailed exterior can significantly improve the overall appearance of your vehicle, making it look fresher, newer, and more appealing. This not only boosts your pride of ownership but also helps to retain the vehicle's resale value if you ever decide to sell or trade it in.
Prevent Rust And Corrosion
Exterior detailing involves the use of specialized products and techniques to remove surface contaminants, such as road salts, bird droppings, and environmental pollutants, that can lead to the formation of rust and corrosion on your car's body and trim.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions about our paint correction services
For optimal protection and appearance, it’s recommended to wash your car every two weeks and apply wax every three to six months, depending on your car’s exposure to the environment.
Our mobile detailing units are equipped with a water tank and generator to perform our services anywhere in an open space. In some cases, we ask our customers if its okay to connect to an outlet or fill our tank if we are low on water upon arrival.
We do NOT require customers to purchase a full exterior detailing package prior to purchasing our add-on headlight restoration service. However, it is wise to consider selecting a full exterior vehicle detailing experience for your car, truck, or SUV, as you undoubtedly will want to have everything touched up when you see how great your headlights will look!
The main difference between exterior detailing and a public car wash is the level of thoroughness and attention to detail. Exterior detailing involves a comprehensive cleaning and restoration process, including washing, waxing, and paint decontamination, to achieve a deeper level of cleanliness and protection for your vehicle’s exterior surfaces. Unlike public car washes, which often use strong chemicals and abrasive methods, exterior detailing focuses on gentle techniques that preserve your paint protection waxes or sealants, avoiding potential damage to your vehicle’s finish.
It is not necessary for you to be there the entire time. We just need access to your vehicle and a space large enough to get the job done.
We strive to get your car done for you in 1 to 2 hours, but it is always the condition of the vehicle that can make the detail take longer or shorter time.
To clay meant to clay bar the vehicle which helps to remove any small containments away from the paint. The seal part of the name refers to ceramic sealant which is a highly affected spray coating that helps to protect your car from the sun’s uv and adds an extra layer of protection to the car.
Yes we offer add-on services that can be customized to your specific needs. If you have any special requests or requirements, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate them.
No this service does not remove scratches, if you are looking for a service to remove scratches on your paint check out our paint correction service. Though the full exterior detail does have the prime elements used to help restore the condition of your paint.
At the end of the automotive exterior detailing process, we do apply entry-level sealants and paint waxes to protect your paint against bird droppings and other contaminants, but these products are only temporary solutions that last a few weeks or months. For more permanent paint enhancement security, upgrade to our ceramic coating services for maximum hydrophobicity!
In simple terms, a Ceramic Sealant outperforms wax. Our sealant contains ceramic coating, extending its lifespan to 8+ months, whereas wax typically lasts only up to 3 months.
Automotive exterior detailing is not the proper application to restore faded paint. Yes, professional detailing can enhance paint appearance and aesthetic, but if the fading is severe, you may need to have more extensive paint work completed at an auto body shop. Our experienced paint correction technicians are happy to inspect your vehicle and give you their honest recommendation on what needs to be restored to its original quality condition.
We accept various payment methods, including credit/debit cards, cashapp, venmo/paypal, and cash . Please inquire about specific payment options when booking your appointment.
