WHAT IS EXTERIOR DETAILING?

Exterior detailing is a comprehensive cleaning and restoration process designed to enhance and protect the outer surfaces of your vehicle. This service typically includes washing, decontaminating, polishing, and waxing or sealing to remove dirt, grime, and imperfections while improving the paint’s shine and durability.

OUR EXTERIOR DETAILING PROCESS

We start with a pre-wash, followed by foam application and a hand wash to remove dirt and grime. After cleaning the wheels and tires, we use a clay bar to smooth the surface and polish away minor imperfections. Finally, we apply ceramic sealant for lasting protection and finish with a detailed cleaning of door jambs and windows. The result is a flawless, glossy exterior that looks like new.

EXTERIOR DETAILING MYTHS AND FACTS

Myth 1: Exterior detailing is simply about washing the car.

Fact: Exterior detailing goes far beyond a basic wash. It includes deep cleaning, polishing, and protecting the car’s paint, wheels, and trim. Professionals use specialized products to remove contaminants like tree sap and road tar, then apply protective layers, such as wax or ceramic coatings, to give the car a lasting shine and protect the car from environmental damage.

Myth 2: Exterior detailing eliminates all paint scratches.

Fact: While detailing can minimize light scratches and swirl marks through polishing, it cannot remove deep scratches entirely. A professional detailer can enhance the car's appearance by smoothing the surface, but for more severe scratches, paint correction is a specialized service that may be required.

Myth 3: Detailing isn’t necessary if you don’t drive your car frequently.

Fact: Even when a car isn’t often driven, environmental pollutants like dust, moisture, and UV rays can still impact the paint and finish. Regular exterior detailing is important for removing contaminants, preventing oxidation, and preserving the car's look, whether it's on the road or parked for long periods.

Myth 4: Air drying your car after washing is perfectly fine.

Fact: Air drying your car can result in water spots and mineral buildup, which can damage the paint. It’s best to use microfiber towels or drying tools designed for the job to quickly and efficiently remove moisture. This process helps maintain the car's finish by preventing spots and preserving its appearance.
