Our Exterior Detailing Process and Products

We believe in using the highest quality products and transparent methods to ensure that your vehicle receives the best care possible. Here’s a breakdown of our Exterior Detailing Process:

Paint Care and Protection

We start by stripping away any existing wax or sealants using a safe citrus cleaner. This is followed by a foam cannon soak to lift contaminants, protecting your paint from scratches during the hand wash. Once the vehicle is hand washed and dried, we apply a 5-month ceramic wax to seal in the shine and protect your paint from the elements.

Products Used:

  • Cleaner: Chemical Guys Clean Slate
  • Protectant: Car Candy Graphene Carbon Coat

Wheels and Tires

We use an alkaline cleaner to remove heavy dirt and brake dust from your wheels and tires. Special brushes are used to clean tight spaces like lug nuts and deep into the wheel barrels. Afterward, your wheels are coated with a ceramic sealantto prevent future brake dust buildup, while your tires are dressed with a long-lasting shine.

Products Used:

  • Wheel & Tire Cleaner: Dark Fury
  • Wheel Protectant: Car Candy Graphene Carbon Coat
  • Tire Shine: Opti-Bond Tire Gel

Trim Restoration

Exterior trim can fade due to sun exposure and wear. After cleaning the trim, we apply a trim restoration product that brings back the original color and protects it with a durable, hydrophobic coating that repels water and dirt. The UV inhibitors in the product prevent future fading, keeping the trim looking fresh for months.

Products Used:

  • Cleaner: Chemical Guys Clean Slate
  • Protectant: Aerospace 303

Glass Treatment

After cleaning your glass to a streak-free shine, we apply a ceramic sealant to create a hydrophobic layer that repels rain, bird droppings, and dirt. This improves visibility and makes future cleanings much easier.

Products Used:

  • Cleaner: Sprayway Glass Cleaner
  • Protectant: Car Candy Graphene Carbon Coat
