Our Exterior Detailing Work Solves Problems
Complete Detailers offers two distinct exterior detailing services to meet varying needs. Our Hand Wash & Wax service is the foundation of our exterior care. This service includes a meticulous two-bucket hand wash, designed to prevent scratches while ensuring every inch of your vehicle is cleaned. We also pay special attention to the wheels and tires, giving them a dedicated hand wash. Once cleaned, we use a clay bar to decontaminate the paint and leave it shining bright. To enhance and protect your vehicle’s appearance, we apply trim dressings, no-sling tire dressing, and a protectant to exterior trim.

To improve driving visibility in harsh weather conditions, we highly recommend our Windshield Ceramic Coating package. One of the main benefits of this coating is its ability to effectively repel water, dirt, and debris from your vehicle's windshield. Not only does this keep your windshield cleaner for a longer period of time, but it also makes cleaning easier when needed. Additionally, the hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings can greatly enhance visibility during rainy or snowy weather. By preventing water from sticking to the surface of your windshield, the coating helps ensure a clearer view while driving. This ultimately contributes to a safer and more enjoyable driving experience.
Frequently Asked Questions About Exterior Detailing
Why are paint sealants better than wax?
Paint sealants are superior to wax in terms of longevity and durability. While traditional wax can offer a nice shine and some protection, it typically lasts only a few weeks, especially under harsh weather conditions. In contrast, paint sealants are formulated with synthetic polymers that bond to the surface of your vehicle’s paint, providing a much stronger barrier against environmental contaminants. This means your vehicle remains clean and protected for several months. Of course, we encourage you to opt for a ceramic coating for maximum surface enhancement.
Can tire dressing prevent my tires from drying out?
Yes they can! Our tire dressings can and will help prevent your tires from drying out. High-quality tire dressings like those used at Complete Detailers are designed to condition the rubber, keeping it supple and resistant to cracking. The regular application of tire dressings during exterior detailing services not only enhances the appearance of your tires but also provides a layer of protection against UV rays, which can cause the rubber to deteriorate over time. This preventative measure helps to extend the life of your tires, ensuring they remain in good condition longer.
How frequently is exterior detailing recommended?
The frequency of exterior detailing from Complete Detailers greatly depends on how often you drive your vehicle, the environmental conditions it faces, and your personal preferences overall. For most vehicle owners, we recommend exterior detailing at least once every three to four months. Regular exterior detailing services help maintain the integrity of your vehicle’s paint, prevent the buildup of contaminants, and keep your vehicle looking fresh and well-maintained. However, if you frequently drive in harsh conditions, such as salty winter roads or dusty environments, more frequent exterior detailing may be necessary.
Common Myths About Exterior Detailing - Solved
Myth 1: Only really filthy vehicles need exterior detailing
This is a common misconception. While exterior detailing is certainly beneficial for vehicles that have accumulated a significant amount of dirt and grime, it is also important for vehicles that are only mildly dirty. In fact, regular exterior detailing from Complete Detailers is key to maintaining your vehicle’s exterior and preventing degradation from occurring in the first place. Even if your vehicle appears clean, microscopic contaminants are still usually present on the surface. Regular exterior detailing removes these contaminants and ensures that your vehicle’s paint and other surfaces remain in optimal condition.
Myth 2: Exterior detailing only needs to be done one time
Not true! You cannot get away with one exterior detailing appointment and then never have it done again. Just like regular maintenance in all other aspects, exterior detailing is a continuous process that should be done periodically to maintain the exterior of your vehicle. Over time, the protective layers applied during exterior detailing will wear off and new contaminants will accumulate. To keep your vehicle in the best possible condition, be sure to schedule regular exterior detailing sessions at Complete Detailers. This ongoing care ensures that your vehicle’s exterior stays protected and looks its best year-round.
Myth 3: Public car washes are just as good as hand washing
Public car washes are not nearly as effective or safe as a professional hand wash performed during exterior detailing at Complete Detailers. Automated systems often use harsh brushes or abrasive materials that can scratch and swirl your vehicle’s paint. Additionally, they may not provide the level of cleanliness needed to thoroughly decontaminate all areas of your vehicle. A professional hand wash like the one included in our exterior detailing package is tailored to your vehicle’s specific needs. It uses gentle techniques and high-quality solutions to clean your vehicle thoroughly without causing any degradation.
