What it is
What it is.
Exterior Detail is a careful hand wash of the outside of the car, done where it is parked. We clean the wheels and tires and dress the tires so the car looks finished.
A quick wash is about getting the dirt off fast. Our Exterior Detail is slower and more careful: hand methods, soft products made for vehicle care, and no automatic brushes. It is a wash, not paint correction and not a coating.
Included
What's included.

Price and timing
Price and timing.
The price depends on the size of the vehicle and how dirty the outside is. We text you the exact price before anything is booked, and the price in your written confirmation is the price you pay. Larger vehicles (SUVs, trucks and vans) take more time and product, so size is part of the quote.
Timing: we confirm timing by text. We do not publish job lengths because they depend on the car and its condition. Requests start from tomorrow; there is no same-day booking.
What we need
What we need from you.
- An electrical outlet near the car, always.
- A water tap only for some jobs. We tell you when we confirm; if we do not ask, you do not need one.
- The car parked in a safe, legal, reasonably level spot with room to walk all the way around it.
- The car unlocked or the keys available. You do not have to be home, and we never drive your car.
Questions
Questions.
Is this the same as a hand car wash?
It starts the same way, by hand, but it is done at your home or office with soft products, wheels and tires cleaned and tires dressed. It is still a wash: it does not remove scratches and does not add a coating.
Will a wash remove scratches or swirl marks?
No. Dirt can hide scratches and swirls, so they can be easier to see after a careful wash. For small marks you can add spot buffing, which is machine polishing of small areas you approve. We do not offer full paint correction. About spot buffing.
Do you need water?
We always need an electrical outlet. Some outside jobs need a water tap, and we tell you when we confirm. We may use rinseless or waterless methods, and inside a garage we only use waterless or rinseless methods.
What about matte paint, wraps or film?
Tell us before the visit. We wash them gently and we never machine polish matte or satin paint, wraps or film.
Results depend on the age, condition and materials of the car. If something cannot be fully removed, we tell you.
