Our exterior washing & detailing service is designed to increase your vehicle’s shine and protect it from the elements. We start with a thorough hand wash using a two-bucket method and foam cannon to safely remove dirt and grime. Then we decontaminate the paint using clay bar and specialized cleaners to eliminate stubborn contaminants like tar, bugs, and road film. Wheels, tires, and trim are cleaned and dressed, and we finish with a high-quality paint sealant or entry-level ceramic coating to lock in shine and shield your paint from UV rays, rain, and road debris. The result is a spotless, glossy exterior that looks great and stays protected longer.

Exterior Detailing FAQs
1. How often should I have my vehicle exterior detailed?
It is generally recommended to have your vehicle's exterior detailed every 4-6 months to maintain its appearance and protect its finish. However, the ideal frequency depends on a variety of factors, including your driving habits, the environment, and road conditions. In \ New York, your vehicle is exposed to unique challenges such as heavy traffic, road salt during harsh winters, and pollution from urban environments. The changing seasons in New York, from humid summers to snowy winters, can also take a toll on your vehicle's paint and exterior. Regular detailing not only helps preserve your vehicle's look but also protects it from damage caused by these environmental factors, ensuring it stays in top condition year-round.
2. What does the decontamination process do for my vehicle?
The decontamination process for your vehicle is designed to remove embedded contaminants from its surface that regular washing cannot eliminate. This includes substances like industrial fallout, tar, tree sap, and iron particles. By thoroughly cleaning and preparing the exterior, decontamination helps restore the smoothness of the paint, enhances shine, and improves the adhesion of protective coatings or sealants. It is a crucial step in maintaining your vehicle's appearance and preventing long-term damage to the finish.
3. How long does the exterior detailing process take?
The time required for exterior detailing can vary depending on the size and condition of your vehicle, as well as the specific services you choose. Typically, a standard exterior detailing takes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours. However, if your vehicle requires additional treatments, such as paint correction, heavy restoration, or protective coatings, it may take longer to ensure the best results. As a mobile detailing company, we bring professional-grade services directly to your location, saving you time and hassle while delivering exceptional care for your vehicle.
4. Can detailing remove all scratches from my vehicle?
Exterior detailing is a great way to improve the look of your vehicle and can often address minor imperfections like light surface scratches through polishing or buffing techniques. These methods help enhance your vehicle's shine and give it a like-new appearance by minimizing the visibility of small scratches. However, when it comes to deeper or more noticeable scratches, detailing alone might not be enough. For these cases, more advanced solutions like paint correction are highly recommended.
