The Process

Our 8-Step Wash Sequence

Every exterior detail follows this exact process, start to finish. No steps skipped.

01

Wheel & Tire Clean

We start with the wheels. A non-acidic wheel wash is applied to break down brake dust and road grime. Each wheel is hand scrubbed, barrels cleaned out, and tires scrubbed back to a clean, dark finish.

05

Rinse & Inspect

The vehicle is rinsed clean and inspected panel by panel for any remaining contamination or missed areas.

02

Snow Foam Pre-Wash

The entire vehicle is blanketed in a thick snow foam shampoo, loosening dirt and contaminants before any contact is made with the paint.

06

Hand-Dried Finish

Premium microfiber drying towels carefully absorb all water, preventing water spots and leaving a streak-free finish.

03

Two-Bucket Hand Wash

Using a grit-guarded two-bucket method and a microfiber wash mitt, every panel is hand washed. The grit guards keep dirt out of the wash water, protecting your paint from scratching.

07

Exterior Glass Cleaned

Every window, mirror, and glass surface is cleaned inside and out for full clarity.

04

Targeted Treatment

Any stubborn contaminants like bug splatter on the front bumper, tar spots, or bird droppings are treated and removed individually.

08

Door Jambs Detailed

Door shuts and jambs are wiped down. The small details that separate a wash from a proper detail.

FAQ

Common Questions

What's included in an exterior detail?
Our exterior detail includes an 8-step process: wheel and tire clean, snow foam pre-wash, two-bucket hand wash with grit guards, targeted contaminant treatment, rinse and inspection, hand-dried finish with premium microfiber towels, exterior glass cleaning, and door jamb detailing.
How long does an exterior detail take?
An exterior detail takes approximately 45 minutes. This can vary slightly depending on the size and condition of the vehicle, but we never rush the process.
Will a hand wash scratch my paint?
Not the way we do it. We use a grit-guarded two-bucket method with a soft microfiber wash mitt, pH-neutral shampoo, and premium drying towels. Every step is designed to minimise the risk of swirl marks and scratches.
How often should I get an exterior detail?
We recommend every 2–4 weeks, especially if your vehicle is parked outdoors or driven daily. Regular detailing prevents contaminant build-up that can damage your paint over time.
Do you need access to water and power?
Yes — as a mobile service, we need access to a hose tap and a power outlet at your location. That's all we need to bring the full detailing setup to you.
