Hand wash, decontamination, polish, and sealant. We bring your paint back to life - right in your driveway.
A drive-through wash pushes dirt across your paint with recycled water and stiff brushes. That is the opposite of what your vehicle needs. Our exterior detailing is a multi-stage hand wash and paint restoration designed to safely lift contaminants, correct minor imperfections, and seal everything behind a protective barrier.
We start with a thorough pre-rinse and foam bath to loosen surface debris, followed by a two-bucket hand wash using pH-neutral shampoo and microfiber mitts. From there, we clay bar the entire surface to remove bonded contaminants - rail dust, tree sap, overspray - then follow with a machine polish if needed. The final step is a paint sealant or carnauba wax that locks in the gloss and protects against UV, rain, and road grime.
This service is ideal for anyone who wants their vehicle to look showroom-ready without the risk of swirl marks from automated washes. Whether you drive a daily commuter or a weekend show car, our process is tailored to your paint type and condition.
A comprehensive service, step by step.
Thick snow foam loosens dirt and debris before contact, reducing the risk of swirl marks and scratches during the wash stage.
pH-neutral shampoo with premium microfiber mitts. Separate rinse and wash buckets prevent cross-contamination.
Removes bonded contaminants like rail dust, tree sap, and industrial fallout that washing alone cannot eliminate.
Single-stage polish removes light swirls, water spots, and oxidation. Restores depth and clarity to your clear coat.
Synthetic sealant or carnauba wax applied by hand. Provides UV protection and a hydrophobic finish that lasts weeks.
Tires dressed with a non-greasy, UV-protectant. Plastic and rubber trim restored to a factory-dark finish.
No hidden fees. Price quoted before we start.
Actual vehicles we have detailed. No stock photos.
Most exterior details take 2 to 3 hours depending on vehicle size and paint condition. Heavily contaminated or neglected paint may require additional time for correction and decontamination.
Light swirl marks and superficial scratches are addressed during the polish stage. Deep scratches that have penetrated the clear coat require paint correction, which is a separate, more intensive service.
Absolutely. Automated car washes recirculate dirty water and use abrasive brushes that create micro-scratches over time. Our two-bucket hand wash method with microfiber mitts is the safest way to clean your paint.
For most daily drivers, every 2 to 3 months is ideal. Vehicles parked outdoors, driven in heavy traffic, or exposed to tree sap and bird droppings may benefit from monthly service.
