What Exterior Detailing Includes — and Who It’s For
Exterior detailing is from $125 and protects the most expensive painted surface you own. Our exterior detail opens with a foaming pre-soak and a careful hand wash that lifts dirt without grinding it back into the clear coat, then works through bug removal, wheels and wheel wells, glass, and door jambs before finishing everything with a hand wax.
This service suits any driver who wants a genuine, lasting shine instead of the swirl-inducing shortcuts of an automatic tunnel wash. Whether you are maintaining a newer vehicle or reviving one that has been neglected, hand washing every panel and waxing the paint by hand produces a deeper gloss and a slicker surface that beads water and stays cleaner for longer between washes.
What’s Included
Every exterior detailing appointment covers each of these steps.
- Professional hand wash with foam bath pre-soak
- Bug splatter removal — hood, windshield, and front bumper
- Wheels and rims deep cleaned
- Wheel wells rinsed and degreased
- Tires dressed and shined
- All exterior glass cleaned
- Door jambs wiped down
- Hand wax applied
How It Works
Foam & Hand Wash
A foam pre-soak loosens grit, then we hand wash every panel with clean media so dirt is lifted away rather than dragged across the paint.
Detail the Details
Wheels, wheel wells, tires, door jambs, glass, and baked-on bug splatter all get individual attention — the spots a quick wash skips.
Wax & Protect
We finish with a hand wax that adds gloss and a layer of protection, so your finish stays cleaner between washes.

Get Your Exact PriceWhy Exterior Detailing Matters in the DFW Climate
DFW weather attacks your paint from every direction: intense UV oxidizes and dulls unprotected clear coat, sudden storms leave mineral-heavy water spots, and the region’s tree-lined streets mean bird droppings and sap that can etch into paint within hours on a hot day. A fresh coat of wax gives the surface a sacrificial barrier, so those contaminants sit on top of the protection instead of attacking the paint directly.
Drivers on the west side of the metroplex face an added challenge: Fort Worth’s iron-rich red-clay dust bonds to paint and leaves a rust-colored haze that ordinary soap cannot remove. Our wash and decontamination process is built to lift that kind of regional contamination, and the wax we apply afterward makes the next round of dust far easier to rinse away.

Exterior Detailing FAQ
What's the difference between a car wash and your exterior detail?
A car wash uses brushes and automated rinses. We hand wash every panel, clean each wheel by hand, and finish with a hand wax — a different level of care entirely.
Can you detail in direct sunlight?
We prefer shade or overcast conditions for paint work. On hot, sunny Dallas days we work early morning or find shade and coordinate the timing with you.
How long does an exterior detail take?
Typically 1.5–2.5 hours depending on vehicle size.
Do you do trucks and SUVs?
Yes, all vehicle types. Larger vehicles may be priced slightly higher — confirmed in your quote.
Will an exterior detail remove swirl marks?
No — swirl marks are fine scratches in the clear coat, and washing cannot remove them. Removing them takes machine polishing, which is our paint correction service (from $499). An exterior detail will make the paint clean and glossy, which makes existing swirls less noticeable, but correction is the real fix.
How often should I get an exterior detail in Texas?
Every 4–6 weeks for a daily driver. Texas puts paint through a lot: intense UV, construction dust, pollen season, bug splatter in summer, and hard-water spots from sprinklers. Waiting longer lets contaminants bond to the paint, which turns a maintenance wash into a correction job. The exterior protection service ($150) adds 12–16 months of sealant between details.
