A safe hand-washing process

Most swirl marks come from bad washing. We pre-rinse to remove loose grit, wash by hand with clean mitts and a pH-balanced soap, and dry with soft microfiber towels to minimize the risk of marring the paint.

Wheels, tires and wheel wells

Wheels collect brake dust that bakes onto the finish. We clean faces and barrels with dedicated brushes, scrub tires, clean wheel wells and finish with a tire dressing that doesn't sling down the side of your car.

Exterior glass

Windshield, windows and mirrors are cleaned streak-free for better visibility, especially at night and in rain.

Paint decontamination and clay treatment

Even after washing, paint can feel rough from bonded contaminants like rail dust, tree sap and industrial fallout. A clay bar treatment lifts these off so the paint feels smooth and the sealant bonds properly.

Sealant protection

After decontamination we apply a paint sealant that adds gloss and helps water bead and sheet off. It makes routine washes easier between details. For longer-lasting protection, consider ceramic coating.

Road salt, grime and winter prep

Long Island winters mean road salt and brine that cling to paint, wheels and the underbody. A fall detail with fresh protection — plus our Salt & Undercarriage Flush add-on after storms — helps keep corrosive residue from sitting on your car all season.

Ongoing paint maintenance

Paint that is washed correctly and kept protected needs far less correction later. If your paint already has swirls or looks dull after washing, paint correction is the step that actually removes those defects.

How long does an exterior detail take?

Usually two to three hours depending on vehicle size and how dirty it is.

Will this remove swirl marks?

No. Washing and sealing clean and protect the paint, but swirls and scratches require machine polishing — see paint correction.

How long does the sealant last?

It depends on washing habits, weather and parking. Expect it to fade over weeks to a few months; regular maintenance details keep it topped up.

What if it rains?

We'll reschedule exterior work at no charge.
