Iron fallout and bonded road film that a normal wash leaves behind are chemically released from the surface.
Clay Bar
A clay bar glides across every panel to pull embedded contamination out of the clear coat, leaving paint that feels like glass.
Protect & Finish
Hand-applied paste wax seals the paint, then wheels, tires, trim, and glass are dressed and detailed for a showroom finish.

What Our St. Louis Customers Say
Real feedback from satisfied customers.
Booked the full exterior treatment for my SUV and the paint came out flawless. The clay bar and wax made it feel like glass, and they did it all in my driveway. Worth every penny.
My car had water spots and light swirls all over. Their paint correction brought the gloss right back and the crew was professional the whole time.
Fast, affordable, and they came to my office in Wildwood. The hand wash and tire shine had my car looking brand new before a road trip. Booking again for sure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in an exterior-only detail?
Our exterior service covers a safe hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, brake-dust removal, glass cleaning, trim and tire dressing, and a protective finish on the paint. Clay bar and paint correction are available as upgrades. It focuses entirely on the outside of your vehicle.
Do you come to my location in St. Louis?
Yes! We're a fully mobile service that comes to your home, office, or any location in the St. Louis area. We bring our own water, power, and equipment — there's no drop-off and no shop visit required.
What can I add to the Exterior Hand Wash?
The Exterior Hand Wash is a thorough, scratch-free clean with tire shine and trim dressing. You can build on it à la carte with a clay bar treatment for full decontamination and a hand paste wax for 3-4 months of protection — add whichever your paint needs.
Can I add clay bar or paint correction?
Absolutely. You can add a clay bar treatment or hand paste wax to any hand wash, or book multi-step paint correction to remove swirls and scratches. If you're unsure what your paint needs, give us a call and we'll recommend the right combination.
How long does an exterior detail take?
A hand wash takes about an hour, a clay bar or hand paste wax adds 1.5-2 hours, and full paint correction can take 4-6 hours depending on your vehicle's size and paint condition. Because we focus only on the exterior, it's faster than a full interior-and-exterior detail.
