Exterior Detailing.
Flawless Finish.

Meticulous hand wash, iron fallout removal, clay bar decontamination, tire dressing, and glass cleaning. Every panel restored to showroom brilliance at our Glendale Heights studio — serving Carol Stream, Bloomingdale, Wheaton, and the Chicago suburbs.

01 What's Included

Every panel.
Perfected.

Hand Wash & Foam Bath

A two-bucket method and pH-neutral foam cannon lift surface contamination without scratching the clear coat — the foundation of every exterior service.

Iron Fallout Removal

Iron particles from brake dust and rail dust bond to paint and cause rust spots over time. Our iron remover chemically dissolves embedded fallout safely and thoroughly.

Clay Bar Decontamination

A detailing clay bar removes bonded surface contaminants — tar, tree sap, industrial deposits — that washing alone can't remove. Leaves paint silky smooth.

Tire & Wheel Cleaning

Wheels cleaned barrel to face with dedicated wheel-safe chemicals. Tires dressed with a non-sling matte or satin finish product for a clean, uniform appearance.

Paint Sealant Application

A 3-month synthetic paint sealant applied to all painted surfaces after decontamination — adding a hydrophobic layer that beads water and protects the finish.

Exterior Glass Cleaning

All exterior glass cleaned streak-free inside and out. Windows, windshield, and mirrors wiped to clarity — no streaks, no residue.

03 FAQ

Exterior detailing
questions.

How long does an exterior detail take?

A standard exterior detail typically takes 2–3 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. Vehicles with heavy contamination, iron buildup, or long clay bar time may take longer. We'll give you an accurate estimate at booking.

Do you hand wash or use a machine wash?

Every vehicle is hand washed using a two-bucket method with a pH-neutral shampoo and soft wash mitts. We never use automatic car washes, which cause swirl marks. A foam pre-rinse lifts surface dirt before any contact is made with the paint.

What is clay bar decontamination?

Clay bar decontamination removes bonded surface contaminants that a regular wash can't remove — things like industrial fallout, rail dust, tree sap, and overspray. It leaves paint silky smooth and ready for sealant or coating. Included in every exterior detail.

Is exterior detailing the same as paint correction?

No. Exterior detailing cleans, decontaminates, and protects your paint — it does not remove scratches or swirl marks. For defect removal, you'd need paint correction (starting at $399), which uses machine polishing to eliminate imperfections. We'll recommend the right service based on your vehicle's condition.
