FAQ
Exterior Detailing Questions
What's the difference between a car wash and exterior detailing?
A car wash removes surface dirt. Exterior detailing goes much further — it includes decontamination with a clay bar, machine polishing to remove light swirls, and a protective sealant or wax application. The result is a deeper shine, smoother paint, and lasting protection that a regular wash simply cannot achieve.
How often should I get an exterior detail?
We recommend a full exterior detail every 3–4 months to keep your paint in top condition. Between details, regular maintenance washes every 2–4 weeks will preserve the sealant and keep contaminants from bonding to your paint, especially during Atlanta's heavy pollen season.
Will exterior detailing remove scratches?
Light surface scratches and swirl marks are addressed during the polishing stage of our exterior detail. For deeper scratches or heavy paint defects, we recommend our dedicated paint correction service, which uses multi-stage machine polishing to remove more significant imperfections.
Do you detail wheels and tires as part of the exterior service?
Yes. Every exterior detail includes thorough wheel and tire cleaning. We use dedicated wheel-safe cleaners to remove brake dust and road grime, clean the wheel wells, and apply tire dressing for a rich, like-new finish.
