Exterior detailing

A careful exterior clean, without the interior detail

For upkeep that keeps the outside tidy between deeper details. The Exterior Refresh covers the wash, wheels, glass and a protective finish — quoted and agreed before booking, with no interior work or machine polishing included.

Who this suits

The Exterior Refresh is a maintenance clean, not a paint restoration. If the paint is dull, swirled or oxidised, ask about an assessed polish instead.

Regular upkeep

A well-maintained vehicle that needs a tidy exterior between full details.

Presentation before an event

When the outside matters most and the cabin is already in good shape.

Between washes

Keeping protective finish topped up without paying for interior time.

The wash process

An accessible close-up sequence of the steps — foam, wheel work and finishing — rather than a heavy animated background.

  1. 01

    Wash preparation

    Pre-rinse and snow foam lift loose dirt before any contact.

  2. 02

    Hand wash

    A pH-neutral hand wash with clean media to reduce marring.

  3. 03

    Wheels, tyres & glass

    Wheel faces and tyres cleaned and dressed; exterior glass cleaned.

  4. 04

    Dry & finish

    Safe hand or blower drying, door jamb wipe-down and protective finishing wax.

How to maintain the finish

The protective finishing wax helps the surface shed water and stay cleaner between washes. Routine washing remains necessary — it is not a substitute for ongoing care.

  • Use a contactless or gentle hand wash between details
  • Avoid harsh detergents that strip protective wax
  • Top up the finish at a suitable interval
  • Tell us about contamination early before it bonds
