Exterior Detail in Macomb County
A regular wash cleans what’s sitting on the surface. It does not remove the embedded grime, tree sap, or oxidation that builds into your paint over months of driving. Our exterior detail goes further: a full wash, clay bar decontamination to strip out bonded contaminants, and a polish to bring back depth and gloss that a wash alone cannot restore.
Starting at $299.
What's Included
Full exterior hand wash
Clay bar decontamination to remove bonded contaminants like tree sap, overspray, and industrial fallout
Machine polish to restore gloss and depth
Tire, wheel, and trim dressing
When This Is the Right Call
If your paint feels rough or gritty to the touch even after a wash, that is usually bonded contamination a clay bar treatment is built to remove. If it just looks dull or hazy rather than rough, a polish addresses that. Our exterior detail covers both, and it pairs well with paint correction if your car also has swirl marks or scratches that need more aggressive correction.
Why This Matters in Michigan
Road salt, tar, tree sap, and the freeze-thaw cycle all leave their mark on paint over a Michigan driving season. None of that comes off with a regular wash alone, and left long enough, embedded contaminants and oxidation get harder to remove and start dulling your paint permanently. A seasonal exterior detail keeps that from becoming a bigger, more expensive problem.
Frequently Asked Questions
A standard hand wash is a regular exterior wash. Exterior detail adds clay bar decontamination and machine polishing on top of that, addressing bonded contaminants and dullness a regular wash will not touch.
[PLACEHOLDER: confirm recommended frequency before publishing]
No. Exterior detail addresses contamination and surface dullness. Deep scratches and heavier swirl marks need paint correction.
Yes. Paint should be clean and decontaminated before any ceramic coating goes on, since the coating bonds to whatever is on the surface at the time.
