Exterior detailing, answered.
Exterior detailing starts at $119 for a sedan Essential hand wash package with bug and tree sap removal. The Premium at $179 adds clay bar decontamination and a 6-month sealant, and the Elite at $249 adds a ceramic spray sealant, water spot removal, and coated trim. SUVs and trucks add $30, 3-row and XL add $60.
Clay removes bonded contamination that washing cannot: industrial fallout, rail dust, sap residue, and overspray. If your paint feels gritty under a plastic bag after a wash, it needs clay. In the Houston area that is most vehicles within a year.
No. Exterior packages clean, decontaminate, and protect the paint, and none of them machine polish it. Swirls and hazing need paint correction, which starts at $349. We will tell you which one your paint actually needs.
Yes. Tunnel brushes recycle grit from every car ahead of yours and grind it across the paint. We use the two-bucket method with clean microfiber, pH-neutral soap, and a hand dry.
The Premium sealant protects for about 6 months. The Elite adds a ceramic spray sealant rated 4 to 6 months for extra gloss and water beading. For multi-year protection, step up to a ceramic coating package from $749.
No. Our rigs are fully self-contained with water tanks and generator power on board. Driveways, office lots, and HOA communities all work.
Yes, in most cases. Fresh mineral spots come off with a dedicated water spot remover during the wash. Spots that have etched into the clear coat need machine polishing, which is paint correction. Glass gets the same treatment. Sprinkler overspray is the usual cause in Fort Bend and west Houston, so moving the car or adjusting the heads prevents the next round.
