Our Exterior Detailing Process

1️⃣ Pre-wash Snow Foam
We start with a snow foam pre-wash to loosen surface dirt, grime, and contaminants, preparing the exterior for a deeper clean without causing scratches.

2️⃣ Wheels & Tyres Cleaned
Using specialised cleaners, we thoroughly clean both the face and inside of the wheels, removing brake dust, road grime, and hidden dirt. Tyres are dressed at the end of the detailing process for a fresh, polished look.

3️⃣ Snow Foam + Hand Wash
After the pre-wash, we apply a second layer of snow foam and hand wash the exterior with professional-grade products, ensuring a thorough clean for every surface.

4️⃣ Bugs & Tar Removal
Specialised products are used to safely remove any bugs and tar from the exterior, leaving a smooth finish.

5️⃣ Fuel Cap Area Cleaned
Often overlooked, the fuel cap area is carefully cleaned to remove built-up grime and dust.

6️⃣ Iron Removal
We apply an iron remover to lift embedded iron particles from the paint, enhancing smoothness and preparing the surface for further treatments.

7️⃣ Clay Bar Treatment
A clay bar is used to remove bonded contaminants from the paint, leaving the surface ultra-smooth and prepped for protection.

8️⃣ Rinse with Deionized Water
We rinse your vehicle with deionized water to prevent water spots and leave a spotless finish.

🔟 Hand Dried with Microfibre Towel + Air
We use a premium microfibre towel and compressed air to completely dry the exterior, ensuring no streaks or water spots remain.

1️⃣1️⃣ Plastic Restorer
Plastic trim and exterior plastics are restored and conditioned, bringing back their original lustre and adding a layer of protection.

1️⃣2️⃣ Gloss Enhancement
As the final step, we apply a gloss enhancer to give your car’s exterior a stunning, showroom-quality finish.

1️⃣3️⃣ Final Inspection
We perform a thorough inspection to ensure every detail meets our high standards. If any area needs a final touch-up, we’ll address it, ensuring your car is spotless and ready for the road.

FAQ Section

Q1: How often should I get exterior detailing?
We recommend a full exterior detail every 3-6 months to maintain the shine and protect your paint from environmental damage. Regular detailing helps preserve the vehicle's value and appearance.

Q2: Will my car be protected from environmental damage after detailing?
Yes and no. Our exterior detailing includes treatments that help guard against light contaminants like dust and dirt, keeping your car looking fresh for longer. However, it won’t protect against heavier impacts like rocks or severe weather.

Q3: What tools and products do you use for exterior detailing?
We use professional-grade tools and products, including steamers, specialised brushes, and demineralised (deionized) water filters to ensure a spot-free finish. Our products come from trusted brands like Koch Chemie, P&S, and Gyeon for a top-quality result.

Q4: How do you handle wheels and tyres during exterior detailing?
Wheels and tyres are a major focus in our exterior detailing. We use specialised products to remove brake dust, dirt, and grime from your wheels, and we apply tyre dressing for a clean, finished look.

Q5: Will I smell chemicals on my car once you’re done?
Absolutely not! We don’t use harsh chemicals on your car’s exterior. By the time we’re done, your vehicle will be fresh and clean without any lingering chemical smells.

Q6: Do you need access to power and water?
Yes, we do require access to both power and water at your location to perform our detailing services effectively.
