Exterior Focused


All of our exterior-focused details come with a basic interior vacuum and wipe. The services start around $255 and up depending on vehicle size and selected service (and always include our complimentary pickup&delivery) for first time clients and as low as $85 for repeat clients.

The quote your receive is always a quote rather than it being an estimate so the price never goes up unless you choose to add any services… so no surprises!

These are *very* brief descriptions of what is included with each service. Please message for more detailed information!

Level 0 – Our “standard” wash; it’s included in every exterior-focused detail service.. it’s what most other services would call a “Wash & Wax” as we use a wax-infused soap. Pre-treat wheels, tires, exterior plastics, wheel wells, and bug splatter, pressure wash, heavy foam bath, hand wash, rinse, towel dry. Wheels are cleaned, tires are treated, windows are cleaned.

Level 1 – Our “once-a-year” paint treatment… what you’d probably heard called a “wax”. An absolute must if you care to keep the paint looking great and healthy on your car! We do all of the services included in the Level 0 but add a chemical and physical decontamination (claybar) step for a deep clean of the paint + a sealant applied to painted surfaces for a FAR superior protection from traditional carnuba wax.

Level 2 – “Paint correction” / paint polish. This is the service where all painted surfaces get a machine polish to remove deeper swirls, other imperfections, and truly “wind back the clock” on the appearance of the car… often times revealing a deeper luster than even new! We do all steps included in Level 1 as a preparation for the polishing followed by the paint protection; either the sealant or Ceramic Coating (+ $300).

Level 3 – “Full Correction”. A step up from Level 2 in terms of intensity and depth of machine correction… where we’d get in to correcting compounds, etc. Mostly for heavily worn cars and very infrequently “needed”.

Ceramic Coating – Remember when you bought your car and the person signing your contracts with you offered you some “superior protection package” for $1500? Well, it’s a lot like that except without the B.S. and a whole lot less pricey! Ceramic Coating is the newest technology for paint protection and is the best thing you can possibly do to maintain the appearance and protection of your paint without a physical barrier, like a film. It’s *not* the cheapest service we offer BUT if you intend to do a good job with caring for your car’s paint, it’s actually CHEAPER than doing a yearly service. We’re proud to be certified installers of Jax Wax 9H Pro coating… made in Ohio!
