Exterior Car Detailing in NYC
Exterior vehicle cleaning, paint care, wheels and surface protection.
Exterior car detailing in NYC focuses on the outside of your vehicle — paint care, wheels, glass, and all exterior surfaces. City driving exposes your paint to brake dust, road salt, tree sap, and airborne pollutants, so a proper exterior detail includes decontamination, cleaning, and protection to restore gloss and defend the finish.
What This Service Covers
Our Detailing Process
1Pre-Rinse & Foam Wash
The vehicle is rinsed and covered in foam to loosen dirt and reduce the risk of scratching during the contact wash.
2Contact Wash & Wheels
Paint is washed using the two-bucket method, and wheels, tires, and wheel wells are cleaned to remove brake dust and grime.
3Decontamination
A clay bar or chemical decontamination removes bonded contaminants like rail dust and tree sap that washing alone cannot.
4Drying & Protection
The vehicle is dried carefully and a wax, sealant, or protective layer is applied to enhance gloss and shield the paint.
