Bring the outside back into focus.

Exterior detailing addresses the dirt and buildup that hide a vehicle’s finish. It suits daily drivers, seasonal refreshes and owners who want a closer look at the paint before deciding on correction or a coating.

What your vehicle needs

Talk through paint, wheels, exterior glass and trim. Any bonded-contamination removal, polishing or protective treatment must suit the surface and be included in the agreed scope. Tell Tony about matte finishes, wraps or existing film before work begins.

What to expect from the result

Washing cannot level scratches or repair chips. Persistent spots may be etched into the finish rather than sitting on it. Cleaning and correction are different services.

Preparation & aftercare

Mention recent paintwork and current protective products. After the detail, wash with clean equipment and suitable products; avoid rubbing dry dust across the finish.

Good to know

Exterior Detailing FAQs

Is exterior detailing the same as paint correction?

No. Exterior detailing focuses on cleaning; correction uses controlled polishing to improve eligible paint defects.

Can you remove water spots?

Some mineral deposits can be cleaned; etching may need correction or may remain. Inspection determines the safe approach.

What about road film and seasonal grime?

Explain where buildup is worst. Tony can discuss cleaning and any additional contamination removal needed.

Can a coated car be detailed?

Tell Tony the coating brand, application date if known and maintenance history so cleaning can be matched to it.

Does it include wheels and glass?

Discuss both in your quote. Specialized wheel, glass or trim treatments are not automatic additions.

How do I keep the finish looking good?

Use a gentle wash routine, clean drying towels and prompt removal of fresh contaminants according to the protection product’s care instructions.
