What’s Included in Our Exterior Detailing Service

  • Comprehensive Wash and Decontamination: We begin with a thorough wash, using a two-bucket method to prevent scratches. We also decontaminate the exterior, cleaning wheels, tires, and wheel wells, as well as removing embedded contaminants with clay bar treatment.

  • Bug and Tar Removal: Stubborn bug residue, tar, and road grime are eliminated with specialized cleaners, ensuring no contaminants are left on your vehicle's surface.

  • Trim and Door Jamb Detailing: We restore the appearance of black trim and thoroughly clean door jambs, ensuring no area of your car is overlooked.

  • Chemical Decontamination (Iron X): This crucial step targets iron deposits and brake dust that can embed into your vehicle’s paint, preventing future damage.

  • Paint Correction and Restoration: Our multi-stage paint correction process addresses light to moderate imperfections, using a combination of cutting compounds and polishes to restore the vehicle's original gloss. We pay special attention to black and dark-colored vehicles, which are prone to showing imperfections more easily.
