Exterior Process
A Cleaner Finish Starts With the Process
Different exterior surfaces collect different types of contamination. The service is built around safely cleaning each area instead of treating the whole vehicle like one surface.
02
Wheels & Tires
Wheels, tires and surrounding areas receive dedicated cleaning rather than being treated as an afterthought.
03
Decontamination
Bonded surface contamination is addressed when needed before protection is applied.
04
Protection
Paint sealant is applied to leave the exterior protected and easier to maintain after the appointment.
Real Exterior Conditions
Dirt Is Only Part of the Job
Exterior surfaces deal with road film, water, weather and contamination. Cleaning and protection help reset the finish without promising paint correction where polishing is actually required.
Cleaning
Road film and buildup need proper contact cleaning
A clean finish starts by removing the contamination sitting on the surface before adding protection.
Protection
Protection helps with ongoing maintenance
Exterior Detail includes paint protection. Longer-term ceramic protection is available as a separate service level.

Need More Than Exterior Cleaning?
Choose the Right Next Level
Exterior Detail handles cleaning and protection. If the interior, paint condition or long-term protection is the bigger concern, move to the service that addresses it directly.
Interior + Exterior
Full Package
Choose Full when the vehicle needs both Interior Detailing and Exterior Detailing during the same mobile appointment.
Paint Improvement
Restore / Paint Correction
Swirl marks, oxidation, dullness and visible paint defects are not solved by an exterior wash. Those require machine polishing.
Long-Term Protection
Ceramic Coating
Choose ceramic coating when you want longer-term exterior protection after the paint has been properly prepared.
Know the Difference
Cleaning Paint Is Not the Same as Correcting Paint
Exterior Detailing removes dirt and contamination from the surface. Machine polishing is what improves swirl marks, oxidation, light scratches and dullness in the paint itself.
