    Why Car Exterior
    Detailing Matters

    Your car’s exterior is constantly battling the elements: road grime, tar, dust, intense UV exposure, bird droppings, tree sap, and salt air. Over time, these can do more than just make your vehicle look tired. They can actively damage the paintwork, break down protective layers, and shorten the life of its exterior components.

    That’s where our professional exterior detail work comes in. We deliver far more than a basic wash, as we provide your paintwork with the deep cleaning and essential protection it needs to keep it looking sharp and cared for.

    Regular detailing also plays a crucial role in maintaining your car’s resale value, improving its longevity, and ensuring it looks its very best, no matter the season.

    WHAT IS INCLUDED

    Detail Your Ride’s exterior car detailing service is designed to leave your vehicle gleaming from bumper to bumper, with every surface treated professionally and safely. Here’s what you can expect from the service:

    • Hand Wash & Rinse. A thorough hand wash using premium pH-balanced shampoo that safely lifts dirt, dust, and contaminants from the paint. We focus our attention on panels, trims, mirrors, grills, and other small areas often overlooked in automated car washes.
    • Bug, Tar & Grime Removal. Using safe and effective products, we remove stubborn road grime, bug splatter, and tar spots that build up over time, especially after long trips or highway driving.
    • Clay Bar Decontamination. For vehicles with heavily contaminated paint, we can perform a clay bar treatment where embedded particles are carefully lifted from the surface, leaving the paint smooth and ready for polishing or wax application.
    • Polish & Wax (Optional Add-On). We offer machine or hand polishing and waxing to revive dull paintwork and give your car’s exterior an enhanced sheen. This not only restores depth and gloss but also provides a layer of protection from UV rays, rain, and dirt.
    • Wheels, Tyres & Guards. We thoroughly clean the rims, wheel arches, and tyres by removing brake dust, mud, and road grime. Tyres are then dressed to a satin finish, giving your car that final clean-cut look.
    • Glass & Trim Detailing, All exterior windows and mirrors are cleaned streak-free, and we also attend to black plastics and trims to ensure they look rich, clean, and revived.
