Service Breakdown Of Our Car Exterior Detailing Process
Our detailed approach includes specialized scrubbing techniques for windows and body panels, along with focused care for rims and wheel wells. We finish with precise drying, window cleaning, and a tire shine application, leaving your vehicle with a pristine, polished finish.
Step 1 - Inspection
We conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle and document any existing damage. If we identify anything notable, we will inform you promptly. If a solution is available, we will provide recommendations on how to address the issue.
Step 2 - Decontamination
1) Use a wheel cleaner to loosen dirt on your tires, rims, and wheel wells with our specialized spray.
2) Add all-purpose spray to the body of the vehicle to remove dust and grime accumulation.
3) Utilize bug spray to the front bumper, hood, fenders, and side mirrors to eliminate difficult bug stains.
Step 3 - Initial Rinse
We'll ensure proper cleaning of window weatherstrip seals and windshield cowls. We'll treat your vehicle to a complete foam spray, including wheels and wheel wells, using the wide fan setting for optimal coverage.
Step 4 - Vehicle Scrub
Our team will scrub all the windows, ensuring a thorough clean while removing any bugs.
With our microfiber wash mitts, we'll wash your vehicle from top to bottom using a left and right motion. After every 2-3 panels, we'll soak the microfiber mitt back into the bucket, utilizing grits to effectively remove dirt. This process will be repeated to ensure a spotless finish.
Step 5 - Tires & Rims
Wheel Brush: We'll employ the wheel brush to eliminate all grease and brake dust buildup.
Wheel Barrel & Woolie: Our team will utilize the wheel woolie to meticulously clean lug holes and the inside of the wheel barrel, ensuring a thorough and comprehensive detailing process.
Step 6 - Final Rinse
We will perform a final rinse of your vehicle, effectively removing any remaining soap, grime, and dirt, leaving it impeccably clean.
Step 7 - Drying Process
We'll use a squeegee to remove excess water from all glass surfaces, including windows, windshield, rear glass, and roof glass.
We'll meticulously dry the vehicle, starting from the top and working our way down in a clockwise direction, ensuring a streak-free finish on the glass.
If needed, we'll use a dry yellow cloth to address any remaining streaks, following the same top-to-bottom, clockwise technique.
Finally, we'll clean the wheels using a dry black cloth to ensure they shine just as bright as the rest of the vehicle.
Step 8 - Windows
Spraying glass cleaner onto a blue waffle cloth, we'll meticulously wipe down the windows, front windshield, rear windshield, and roof glass. Our technique involves moving from left to right and then up and down, ensuring a sparkling finish.
Step 9 - Final Touches
Using the black applicator, we'll apply tire shine to give your tires a glossy finish.
Should there be black plastic trims around the body, wheel wells, or mud flaps, we'll apply a revitalizing paste using a clean black.
