“Stopped going to the tunnel wash after I noticed the swirls in direct sun. Now I do a maintenance hand wash here every six weeks. Paint stays clean, gloss holds, and I'm not trading clearcoat for convenience anymore.”

Our Exterior Detailing & Hand-Wash Packages

A Hand Wash That Adds Gloss, Not Swirls

A tunnel wash drags fabric strips loaded with the last car's grit across your paint at 25 mph. We do the opposite: foam pre-soak to lift dirt without contact, two-bucket hand wash with grit guards so contamination doesn't go back on the car, iron-X to dissolve embedded brake dust, clay bar for bonded contaminants, and paint sealant or carnauba wax to lock in the gloss. The whole process is 3–5 hours of bay time, and it shows.

What You're Experiencing

  • Tunnel-wash swirl marks accumulating with every visit
  • Tar, tree sap, or bug splatter etched into the bumper or hood
  • Dull, lifeless finish that won't shine after a basic wash
  • Iron rail dust speckling the lower panels and wheel arches

What We Fix

  • pH-Neutral Foam Pre-Soak & Two-Bucket Hand Wash
  • Iron-X Decontamination & Clay-Bar Treatment
  • Tar, Sap & Bug-Splatter Spot Treatment
  • Paint Sealant or Carnauba Wax Finishing Layer

Our Process

See the Price First. Watch the Work. Inspect the Result.

Step 1

Free Detail Consultation

Walk in or call ahead. We go through the car with you in person, then price every line up front before any work begins.

Step 2

Methodical, Multi-Stage Work

Most jobs are full-day work. Hand-washed, machine-polished, and photographed at each stage. Your car has the detailer's full attention from arrival to pickup.

Step 3

Walk-Around at Pickup

Every car gets a walk-around inspection with you before you leave. If something needs another pass, we do it on the spot.

The "No Shortcuts" Promise

The worst part of detailing is paying for craft and getting a rushed wash. No work begins until you've seen the price up front and approved the package. Every stage is photographed, every product is named, and every car gets a walk-around inspection before pickup. Real work. Real materials. No shortcuts.

Daniel P. Google review

"Hadn't really 'washed' my car in two years, just tunnel washes. They walked me through what iron-X actually pulls out (turned my paint orange in spots), clay-barred the whole car, and finished with sealant. The paint feels smooth for the first time."

Megan S. Google review

"Black daily driver, every defect shows. They explained the difference between a wash and a decon, recommended the full exterior detail, and the finish is finally what I wanted when I bought the car."

Common Questions

Exterior Detailing Questions? Specific Answers, Not Sales Pitches.

How much does exterior detailing cost?

Exterior detailing is priced by package, vehicle size, and paint condition. A maintenance hand wash on a clean sedan is a different job than a full decon-and-seal on a vehicle that's been tunnel-washing for two years. A maintenance exterior runs $80–$150; a full exterior detail with iron-X, clay bar, and sealant typically runs $200–$400. We price the work up front after a free detail consultation.

How long does exterior detailing take?

A maintenance hand wash runs 90 minutes to 2 hours. A full exterior detail (foam pre-soak, two-bucket wash, iron-X, clay bar, and sealant) is 3–5 hours of bay time. We don't rush hand washes because that's where swirls come from. Booked today, detailed this weekend for most exterior packages.

How long does the wax or sealant last?

It depends on the product and how the car is washed afterward. A carnauba wax holds for 6–8 weeks of normal driving. A synthetic paint sealant holds 4–6 months. A ceramic spray sealant we use as a finishing topper extends to 8–12 months. None match a real ceramic coating, but they're the right tier for a vehicle being maintained between services. We can recommend a maintenance interval based on how you wash and where you park.
