The Basics
What is professional exterior detailing?
Exterior detailing goes beyond a wash. It's a methodical process of decontaminating, correcting, and protecting your paint: removing the bonded contaminants, light swirls, and oxidation that dull a finish over time, then sealing in the result. If your paint feels rough, looks hazy, or has lost its depth, the exterior is due.
01
Wash & decontaminate
Hand wash with clean media, then clay bar decontamination to pull bonded grime off the paint.
02
Correct & polish
Machine polishing, or compounding on the Premium tier, to restore clarity, gloss, and depth.
03
Protect & finish
Machine wax, trim restoration, and dressed wheels so the finish stays protected and sharp.
Common problems we solve: swirl marks · oxidation · water spots · bonded contaminants · faded trim · dull, hazy paint

Major Service
Paint correction.
Paint correction removes the swirl marks, haze, and light scratches that dull a finish over time. Performed as a one-, two-, or three-step machine process scaled to your paint's condition, it restores depth and clarity before any protection is applied, and it's the foundation we recommend before ceramic coating.
Level 1
1-Step Correction
Starting at $200
A single machine-polishing stage that removes light swirls and haze. The recommended minimum, even on newer vehicles.
Level 2
2-Step Correction
Starting at $350
Compound then polish. Corrects moderate swirls, water spots, and oxidation for a noticeably deeper finish.
Level 3
3-Step Correction
Starting at $600
Our most thorough correction. Heavy defect removal, refinement, and finishing for paint that needs a full reset.

Common questions.
A 1-step is a single polishing stage for light swirls; a 2-step adds compounding for moderate defects; a 3-step is a full heavy-correction, refinement, and finishing process. We’ll recommend the right level based on your paint’s condition.
