Reinvigorate Your Ride With Exterior Detailing
Exterior detailing is how you bring your car’s first impression back to life. We’ll give the paint a proper hand wash, knock off the gritty stuff with decontamination, clean your wheels and tires, and dress the trim so everything ties together and actually looks finished. Bugs, road film, and old water spots don’t stand a chance, and that slick gloss you see when you pull into the sun won’t disappear after the first drive. If you’re tired of swirl-filled, half-clean results from quick washes, let us show you what a real exterior detail looks like.

Discover More From Our Exterior Detailing FAQs
1. What’s included in an exterior detail?
Exterior detailing is more than a quick wash and rinse. We’ll hand wash the paint, clean the wheels and tires, hit the cracks and crevices, decontaminate the surface to remove bonded grime, and finish with the right drying and protection so your paint actually looks clean and glossy. Trim, glass, and tires get attention too, so the whole outside of your vehicle looks dialed in, not just the big panels.
2. How is this different from a regular car wash?
A regular wash usually rushes through the job, misses a ton of details, and can even add swirls and scratches. With a proper exterior detail, we use safe wash methods, quality mitts and towels, and products that actually lift dirt instead of dragging it around. You end up with a deeper clean, better shine, and less damage to your paint over time.
3. Will exterior detailing help with water spots and bugs?
Yes, within reason. We’ll use products and techniques designed to break down bug guts, road film, and light water spots so they’re not baked onto your paint and glass. Some severe, long-term etching may need polishing to really improve, but a good exterior detail usually makes a huge difference in how clean and clear everything looks.
4. How often should I get my exterior detailed?
For most people, getting a proper exterior detail every 3 to 6 months is a solid rhythm, with basic washes in between. If your car lives outside, sees a lot of highway miles, or deals with harsh weather, you might want it done a bit more often. We can help you figure out a schedule that keeps your vehicle looking sharp without overdoing it.
5. Do I still need wax or coating if I get exterior detailing?
Exterior detailing is the deep clean and prep, and wax or coating is the finishing touch that keeps it looking good longer. During or after the detail, we can apply a sealant or ceramic option that adds gloss and helps your paint stay cleaner between washes. It’s the combo of both that really makes your exterior look great and stay that way.

Why an Exterior Detailing is Way More Than a Car Wash
We Don’t Just Wash What You Can See
At-home washes usually hit the big, obvious areas and call it good. We’re going after the stuff you don’t see right away: behind the wheels, inside the emblems, around trim, in door jambs, and all those tight spots that quietly collect grime. That hidden buildup is what starts to make a car look tired over time, and that’s exactly what a real exterior detail is designed to remove.
Professional Tools > Old Bucket and Towel
A sponge and a random towel from the house just aren’t it. We’re using pH-balanced soaps, clean wash mitts, dedicated wheel brushes, and high-quality microfiber that won’t scratch up your clear coat. On top of that, we use proper decontamination products to strip off bonded stuff like rail dust and road film that regular soap can’t touch, so the paint actually feels smooth and looks crisp.
Technique That Protects Your Paint
Most at-home washes accidentally grind dirt into the paint, then leave swirl marks and light scratches everywhere. We use safe wash methods, controlled rinse and dry steps, and the right pattern of movement so we’re lifting dirt away, not dragging it around. That’s the difference between “it’s clean, I guess” and “this thing looks glossy and smooth in direct sun.”
Results That Last Longer Than a Day
A driveway wash can look good for a few hours, but once the water dries, you see all the missed spots and streaks. With proper exterior detailing, you’re getting a deeper clean and a better foundation for wax, sealant, or coating, which means the finish stays nicer, longer. You’ll notice that your car keeps that just-detailed look for way more than a single drive, and that’s when you realize why pro-level work is worth it.
