What’s Included in Your Exterior Detailing Package?
At Wheels Detail, our exterior detailing package follows a structured process that cleans, decontaminates, and protects every visible surface of your vehicle. Getting a full exterior detail is more than a simple car wash!
Steps Involved in the Exterior Auto Detailing Process
Your exterior cleaning service begins with a high-pressure rinse followed by a thick foam pre-soak that loosens dirt, road film, and salt. We then perform a gentle hand wash using a pH-balanced car shampoo, microfiber mitts, and grit guards to prevent scratches.
For tough contaminants like insect residue, tar, and tree sap, we apply targeted solutions that safely dissolve buildup without harming your car paint or clear coat.
Brake dust and industrial fallout can embed in your car paint! We use a specialized iron remover that safely extracts these particles, restoring a clean surface for the next stage of exterior car cleaning and improving shine longevity.
Wheels get detailed with a premium, acid-free cleaner that lifts brake dust and grime. Tires are scrubbed clean and finished with a satin, long-lasting tire shine for a refreshed exterior look.
We hand-dry the vehicle with soft microfiber towels and blow out trapped water from crevices. Chrome tips, badges, and exterior trim are cleaned and dressed for a consistent finish.
A protective sealant or wax is applied to guard against UV rays, water spots, and contaminants. You’ll notice deeper color, better reflection, and a slick feel on the surface.
Ceramic Coating Upgrade
Upgrade to a ceramic coating for extended protection, superior gloss, and easy maintenance!
Your satisfaction is what keeps Wheels Detail exterior detailing service rated among the most trusted mobile detailing providers in the US and Canada!

Rebecca Bonham West
My pro did an awesome job! I paid for the heavy pet hair removal service in addition to the Wheels Detail X wash because my dogs shed everywhere. My interior is spotless…not a dog hair in sight. My pro was a bit late, but he communicated that before my appointment and let me know when he was on way. I felt like I knew what to expect at every step of the process.

Zander did a great job cleaning the interior of my bronco. It looks brand new again.
