Overview
A standard car wash removes surface dirt but does little to protect your paint or restore true shine. Exterior detailing is a more thorough process that decontaminates the paint surface, removes embedded contaminants, corrects minor imperfections, and applies a protective layer to keep your vehicle looking sharp longer. It’s the difference between a car that looks “clean” and one that looks freshly detailed — with a deep, reflective shine and smooth, contaminant-free paint.
