Our Process

How we do it, step by step.

  1. Pre-rinse and foam

    Vehicle is rinsed and pre-soaked with a thick foam to lift loose dirt before any contact.

  2. Wheels and tires

    Wheel faces, barrels, lug area and tires are cleaned with dedicated tools and brushes so brake dust doesn't end up on the paint.

  3. Safe hand wash

    Two-bucket method with a clean wash mitt. No brushes, no swirling.

  4. Decontamination

    Iron remover and a clay bar pull bonded contaminants out of the clear coat that washing alone cannot touch.

  5. Dry and detail

    Soft microfiber dry, door jambs wiped, exterior glass cleaned, and tires dressed.

  6. Sealant application

    A 2 to 4 month ceramic sealant is applied to paint, trim, wheels and glass for gloss, protection, and easier maintenance.

Expected Results

What your car will look and feel like.

  • Noticeably deeper gloss and color depth

Service FAQ

Exterior Detail questions.

A car wash gets the loose dirt off. An exterior detail decontaminates the paint, removes bonded fallout, clays the surface and applies a real ceramic sealant. It is a full reset, not a rinse.

The included sealant typically lasts 2 to 4 months in Virginia weather, depending on how often the vehicle is washed and where it is parked.

Yes. We are fully mobile. We just need access to your vehicle and a water spigot when possible.
