Home / Exterior Wash & Shine

Exterior car detailing that starts underneath

Our exterior car wash begins where Indiana winters do the most damage: under the car. Then foam on the paint, brake dust off the wheels, and bugs and tar dissolved instead of scrubbed.

Four stages, bottom to top

Each one removes something the others can't.

  1. Underside pressure wash

    Road salt, dirt and grime collect under the car on brake lines, suspension parts and the frame, where you never see them. A pressure wash flushes them out before they turn into rust.

  2. Full body foam

    A thick foam blanket goes on and sits. It loosens and lifts dirt off the paint so it rinses away, instead of getting dragged across the clear coat by a brush.

  3. Wheel wash and shine

    Brake dust is the dark, gritty film on your rims. We clean it, plus grease and road dirt, off the wheel faces and out of the spokes, then bring the shine back.

  4. Bug and tar removal

    Bugs on the bumper and mirrors and tar kicked up on the rocker panels bond to paint the longer they sit. We dissolve them with non-abrasive products made for paint, then finish the area so it shines like the rest of the car.

Pair it with the glass and the inside

Clean paint makes a dirty windshield obvious. Add our window protectant so rain beads off the glass, or book the interior detail in the same visit and get the whole vehicle done.

Exterior wash questions

That is where road salt sits all winter. Flushing it off the brake lines, suspension and frame protects parts that are expensive to replace once rust sets in.

No. We use non-abrasive products that dissolve bug residue and tar, so nothing gets scraped across the clear coat.

The sooner the better. Bug residue and tar bond tighter to paint the longer they sit, especially in summer heat.
