🚘 Full Exterior Detail – Bring Back the Shine & Protect Your Vehicle’s Paint

Your car’s exterior is the first thing people notice. Over time, daily driving, weather, road salt, dirt, bird droppings, and UV rays can dull the finish, damage the paint, and leave your vehicle looking tired. A basic car wash may remove surface dust, but it doesn’t protect your paint or restore that deep, glossy shine.

That’s where our Full Exterior Detail comes in. This is more than just a wash—it’s a comprehensive, professional treatment designed to clean, correct, and protect every inch of your vehicle’s exterior.

Why Choose a Full Exterior Detail?

Think of a Full Exterior Detail as spa treatment for your car’s paint. Unlike a quick wash, this service targets contaminants, restores shine, and protects your finish long-term.

  • Removes Contaminants – Tar, bugs, sap, and road grime won’t come off with soap alone.
  • Restores Gloss – Through polishing and paint correction, we remove oxidation, swirls, and light scratches.
  • Protects Paint – Wax, sealant, or ceramic coatings create a barrier against UV, water, and dirt.
  • Increases Value – A car that looks new on the outside makes a strong impression on buyers.
  • Prevents Damage – Regular detailing extends the life of your paint and exterior trim.

If you want your car to look showroom-ready, this is the service for you.

What’s Included in a Full Exterior Detail?

Our Full Exterior Detail is a multi-step process designed to clean and protect every surface. Here’s what we cover:

  1. Hand Wash with Foam Bath
    • Safe, pH-balanced soap and microfiber mitts (no harsh brushes).
    • Loosens dirt without scratching paint.
  2. Wheel & Tire Cleaning
    • Removes brake dust, grime, and tar.
    • Tire shine applied for a clean, glossy look.
  3. Clay Bar Treatment
    • Removes embedded contaminants (sap, tar, overspray) that soap can’t reach.
    • Leaves paint smooth and ready for polishing.
  4. Paint Decontamination
    • Iron remover applied to dissolve metallic particles from roads.
  5. Paint Polishing (Single-Stage Correction)
    • Machine polish to restore depth and shine.
    • Reduces light swirls and oxidation.
  6. Paint Sealant or Wax Application
    • Protects against UV, dirt, and water.
    • Adds a glossy finish lasting weeks to months.
  7. Glass Cleaning & Treatment
    • Streak-free window cleaning.
    • Optional Rain-X or hydrophobic coating.
  8. Trim & Plastic Restoration
    • Revives faded plastics and rubber seals.
  9. Headlight Polishing (Optional Add-On)
    • Removes oxidation for clear, bright headlights.
  10. Final Inspection & Touch-Up
  • We go over every panel, mirror, and trim piece.
  • Ensuring nothing is missed.

When finished, your car won’t just be clean—it will shine like new and stay protected against the elements.

How Long Does It Take?

A Full Exterior Detail usually takes 3–5 hours, depending on:

  • Size of the vehicle (sedan vs. SUV vs. truck).
  • Current paint condition.
  • Additional upgrades (headlight restoration, ceramic coating).

This isn’t a quick in-and-out wash—it’s a thorough, careful process to ensure long-lasting results.

Who Should Get a Full Exterior Detail?

This service is ideal for:

  • Daily Drivers – Protect against sun, rain, and road grime.
  • Car Enthusiasts – Keep your paint looking like it just left the showroom.
  • Used Car Sellers – A glossy finish increases resale or trade-in value.
  • Luxury & Classic Car Owners – Preserve rare or expensive finishes.
  • Anyone Who Wants a “Like-New” Look – Perfect for making your car stand out.

If your car has lost its shine or you want to protect your investment, a Full Exterior Detail is a must.

Benefits of a Full Exterior Detail

Here’s what makes this service worth it:

  1. Restored Shine – Paint looks deep, glossy, and vibrant.
  2. Long-Term Protection – Sealants and wax protect against UV, dirt, and water.
  3. Scratch & Swirl Reduction – Polishing corrects light imperfections.
  4. Improved Safety – Clean windows and headlights improve visibility.
  5. Higher Resale Value – A detailed exterior makes your car look newer and more valuable.
  6. Pride of Ownership – Driving a clean, shiny car just feels better.

How Often Should You Get a Full Exterior Detail?

We recommend a Full Exterior Detail every 6–12 months, depending on:

  • Climate (hot sun, salty roads, or heavy rain require more frequent detailing).
  • Driving Habits (daily highway driving exposes paint to more debris).
  • Storage (garaged vehicles stay protected longer).

Between details, regular washing and quick waxes can help maintain the shine.
