Exterior Services

• The goal of the exterior portion is to remove contaminants and provide a layer of protection to the paint.

• Hand Wash and Dry: A meticulous wash using high-quality microfiber mitts and the "two-bucket method" to prevent scratching the paint.

• Wheel and Tire Cleaning: Deep cleaning of the rims, tires, and wheel wells to remove stubborn brake dust and road grime.

• Tire Dressing: Application of a "shine" or protectant to the tires to give them a like-new appearance and prevent UV cracking.

• Exterior Glass: Streak-free cleaning of all windows and side mirrors.

• Basic Protection: Application of a "spray wax" or quick sealant to provide short-term shine and water beading.

 Interior Services

• The interior portion focuses on high-touch areas and removing loose debris.

• Thorough Vacuuming: Cleaning of all carpets, floor mats, seats, and the trunk.

• Surface Wipe-Down: Dusting and cleaning of the dashboard, center console, cup holders, and door panels.

• Interior Glass: Cleaning the inside of the windshield and windows to remove film and fingerprints.

• Door Jambs: Wiping down the metal frames around the doors to remove grease and dirt buildup.

Exterior: Decontamination & Better Protection

• The main difference here is the "feel" of the paint.

• Clay Bar Treatment: The detailer slides a synthetic clay bar over the paint to pluck out "bonded contaminants" like tree sap, tar, and industrial fallout. This makes the paint feel as smooth as glass.

• Hand Wax or Sealant: Instead of a quick spray, a high-quality paste wax or synthetic sealant is applied. This provides 3–6 months of protection and a much deeper gloss.

• Exhaust Tip Polishing: Metal polish is used to remove carbon buildup from chrome or stainless steel exhaust tips.

• Plastic Trim Restoration: Faded black plastics (like bumpers or mirrors) are treated with a UV-protectant restorer to bring back their dark color.

Interior: Deep Cleaning & Conditioning

• This is where you’ll notice the biggest "new car" refresh.

• Shampooing & Steam Cleaning: Carpets and floor mats are shampooed to lift light stains. Steam is often used to kill bacteria and loosen dirt in hard-to-reach crevices like cup holders and air vents.

• Leather Conditioning: If you have leather seats, they are cleaned with a pH-neutral cleaner and then "fed" with a conditioner to keep them soft and prevent cracking.

• Detailing Brushes: Detailers use small boar-hair brushes to clean every button, knob, and seam in the dashboard and center console.

• Stain Spot Treatment: Minor spills and marks on the headliner or fabric seats are targeted specifically.

Exterior: "The Perfection Phase"

• The standout feature of a premium detail is the focus on the paint's "optical clarity" rather than just its cleanliness.

• Paint Correction (Multi-Stage): This is the biggest cost driver. Professionals use machine buffers and abrasive compounds to physically level the clear coat, permanently removing swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation.

• Ceramic Coating: Instead of wax, a liquid polymer (SiO2) is applied that chemically bonds with the paint. It creates a semi-permanent, hydrophobic "glass" layer that lasts 1 to 5+ years, making the car incredibly easy to wash.

• Engine Bay Detailing: The engine is safely degreased, steam-cleaned, and the plastic/rubber components are dressed with heat-resistant protectants.

• Undercarriage Cleaning: Removal of road salt and grime from the bottom of the vehicle to prevent corrosion.

• Headlight Restoration: Sanding and polishing oxidized (foggy) headlights back to crystal clarity, then sealing them with a UV coating.

 Interior: "The Deep Sanitization"

• Ozone Treatment: A specialized machine is placed in the car to chemically "kill" odors (smoke, mold, bacteria) at a molecular level rather than just masking them with scent.

• Full Steam Sanitization: Every crevice—including air vents, seat rails, and seatbelt buckles—is blasted with high-pressure steam to sanitize and lift deep-seated dirt.

• Hot Water Extraction: Carpets and fabric seats aren't just shampooed; they are "injected" with hot water and sucked dry with a high-powered extractor to remove years of embedded mud and spills.

• Consumable Protection: Fabric guards are applied to carpets to prevent future staining, and premium matte UV-shields are applied to the dash to prevent sun-cracking without the greasy "shiny" look.
