Quick answer
Exterior car detailing is for paint that needs more than a quick wash. It removes road film, salt buildup, and stuck-on grime, then adds light polishing and ceramic wax protection. If the paint has swirls, oxidation, or deeper defects, paint correction is the better fit.

How it works
A straightforward exterior cleanup.
Wash and road film cleanup
Loose dirt, salt film, and lower-panel buildup are cleaned before the finish work begins.
Clay bar treatment
Clay helps pull off rough grime that a normal wash can leave behind.
Light polish
Light polishing helps clean up dullness and improve gloss without turning the job into full paint correction.
Choose the right service
Exterior detail for cleanup. Paint correction for deeper defects.
If your paint feels gritty or looks dull after a wash, start with exterior detailing. If you see swirls, oxidation, or deeper haze, paint correction is usually the better next step.
Want longer-lasting protection once the surface is clean? Compare ceramic coating. Need the inside handled too? See full car detailing. For winter buildup, see salt removal.
Good choice when
- The paint still feels gritty after a wash.
- Road film or salt keeps coming back on the lower panels.
