Exterior Detail

WAS £50 From £35

More Than Just a Car Wash

Our Exterior Detail is a thorough, professional grade clean that goes far beyond what any drive through or bucket wash can achieve. Using a safe, swirl and scratch minimising three stage wash process, professional products, and a ceramic sealant, we restore your paintwork to its best and protect it for months to come.


What's Included

Every exterior detail follows the same proven process — no corners cut, no steps skipped.

Step 01

Pre Wash

We begin by covering your vehicle in a pre wash, loosening road grime, insects, and light soiling before any physical contact is made, preventing unnecessary scratching.

Step 02

Wheels & Tyres

Wheels are cleaned with dedicated wheel cleaner and brushes, removing brake dust and grime. Tyre sidewalls are scrubbed clean and dressed for a deep, rich finish.

Step 03

Two-Bucket Safe Wash

Using the two bucket method with soft mitts, we carefully hand wash the entire vehicle.

Step 04

Chemical Decontamination

Iron fallout remover and tar remover are applied to the paintwork, dissolving embedded contamination that a wash alone can't remove.

Step 05

4 Month Wax

A professional grade wax sealant is applied to all paint and glass, bonding to the paint and providing hydrophobic protection that lasts up to four months.

Step 06

Hand Dry & Tyre Shine

The vehicle is carefully dried with soft microfibre towels to prevent water spots. Tyre shine is applied for a clean, finished look.

Why It Matters

The Benefits of a Proper Exterior Detail

Skipping regular detailing lets contamination build up and bond to your paint. Over time this causes dullness, micro scratches, and can even cause rust. A regular exterior detail keeps your car looking sharp and protects your investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an exterior detail take?
Most exterior details take between 45 minutes and 1 hour depending on vehicle size and condition. We'll give you an estimated time when you book.
Do I need to provide water or power?
Yes, we do require access to a power source and water supply to carry out the service.
Will this remove scratches and swirl marks?
Our Exterior Detail uses a safe wash method to prevent new swirls being introduced, but it does not include paint correction. For scratch and swirl removal you'd want our Machine Polishing or Ceramic Coating packages.
How often should I get an exterior detail?
We recommend every 6–8 months to keep your paintwork protected and looking its best. The 4-month ceramic sealant we apply helps maintain protection between visits.
