INFORMATION

Standard exterior detailing handles what a car wash can't: detailed wheel cleaning to pull brake dust from rims, hand drying to prevent water spots, tire dressing for a clean finish, and a thorough exterior glass clean. The Premium tier adds clay bar treatment to pull embedded contaminants from your paint before sealing, hand wax or paint sealant for lasting protection, and full water spot and bug removal. The result is paint that looks clean and stays protected longer.

In Greenville, your paint takes a beating from multiple directions. Pollen season deposits a thick yellow-green film twice a year. Tree sap falls year-round in wooded neighborhoods. Summer thunderstorms leave mineral deposits from hard water. Red clay dust from construction zones and dirt roads bonds to paint if left sitting. UV intensity in the Upstate fades paint and bakes contaminants in. A Standard Detail every 4 to 6 weeks and a Premium Detail every 3 months is a realistic protection schedule for most Greenville drivers.

All exterior details are mobile - we come to your home, office, or any accessible parking area. We bring our own water tank and professional-grade supplies. No shop drop-off, no waiting room. For full paint and interior protection, combine exterior and interior in a full service detail starting at $300.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Car Detailing

What's the difference between exterior detailing and a car wash?

A car wash uses brushes, harsh soaps, and automated systems that scratch paint over time and miss key areas like door jambs, wheel barrels, and trim. Exterior detailing is a manual, careful process using safe products on each surface. The Premium tier also includes clay bar and wax — which no car wash offers.

Does exterior detailing remove scratches?

Light swirl marks and surface oxidation can be improved with clay bar and wax in the Premium package. Deep scratches that break through the clear coat need paint correction or touch-up, which is outside our service scope. If you're unsure about your paint condition, mention it when you book and we'll take a look.

How does Greenville's climate damage car paint?

Upstate SC combines high UV intensity, heavy pollen, red clay dust, and summer humidity - a tough combination for paint. UV causes oxidation and fading over time. Pollen and clay dust are mildly acidic and etch paint if left sitting. Regular exterior detailing with protective wax or sealant is the best defense.

How long does exterior detailing take?

Standard takes about 45–75 minutes. Premium takes 1.5–2.5 hours depending on vehicle size and paint condition. We can give you a more specific window when you book.

Can I combine exterior detailing with interior detailing?

Yes, that's our full service detail. Standard is $300 and Premium is $400, better value than booking interior and exterior separately. It's the most popular service for a full reset or pre-sale prep.
