Exterior Detail Packages

Note: This is our typical exterior cleaning process, however we may alter our approach based on the situation and condition of the vehicle. For preservation of antique vehicles we may opt for a rinse-less wash method in order to reduce the volume of water the vehicle is exposed to.

Headlight Restoration Package:

Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic which is prone to oxidation from UV exposure over time. Cloudy and Oxidized headlights make a vehicle look less desirable and can impede their performance and safety. Headlight restoration is achieved by removing the oxidation with wet-sanding. The headlight’s clarity and brilliance is then restored by polishing them clean and clear. To keep the headlights from prematurely oxidizing again a durable Headlight Coating is applied.

(Starting @ $150 for a pair + Tax)

Engine Bay Detailing Package:

There are many reasons it’s a good idea to keep your engine bay clean. It helps your engine run cooler as it’s not caked in grease and dirt. It makes spotting potential issues like leaks easier and you or your mechanic will appreciate working on a clean engine over a dirty one. It’s also a way your vehicle will stand out when selling it as people will assume it’s well taken care of, which hopefully it is.

Any air intakes, all electrical components such as battery & alternator and any other areas that moisture should not go are taped off, sealed and protected. The entire engine bay is coated with a “dry foam” de-greaser and gently scrubbed with soft or medium bristle brushes. The engine compartment is then given a low pressure rinse to minimize risk of sensitive areas being over-saturated with moisture. Engine components are then thoroughly dried with compressed air. Plastic cladding is dressed with a UV protectant and bare metal components can be polished upon request.

Paint Chip Repair Package:

There is nothing worse than being on the freeway behind a dump truck and then the inevitable happens. Rock chips if not taken care of can lead to long term problems such as corrosion and paint failure.

We go a little bit beyond the traditional touch up kit you can find in an auto parts store and use a variety of tools that will help the repair last.

Rock chips on the vehicle are carefully cleaned of any contaminants that would inhibit paint from sticking. Using a very fine paint applicator, paint is carefully applied to chipped areas and let to dry. Depending on the level of perfection a customer may want to achieve, sanding, air brushing and polishing can also be done for a more undetectable repair.

($75 per hour + Tax – Touch Up Paint Supply is additional cost)

“Wheels Off” Package:

One of our favorite services to offer is the “Wheels Off” wash. Wheels make a dramatic impact on the look of a car and there is nothing worse than a clean car with dirty wheels. Removing the wheels allows for all surfaces of the wheels to be cleaned of baked on brake dust, tar and anything else the wheel has come in contact with.

The vehicle is safely lifted. Wheels are removed and all surfaces including the backsides of the wheels are cleaned. Wheel Polishing and protection can be requested for an additional cost.

(Starting @ $25 per wheel + Tax)

Undercarriage Detailing Package:

Often paired with a Wheels Off service, wheel wells, the braking system and all accessible suspension components are de-greased and cleaned. The undercarriage is also given a foam shampoo and then rinsed.

This is a great service for those seeking to remove road salt and brine from the underside of their car following winter or if they just want the underside as clean as the top side.

(Starting @ $75 Per Hour + Tax)

Paint Decontamination Package:

Following a hand wash if the paint feels rough to the touch then you have bonded contaminants on your paint. Over time contaminants such as ferrous metals (rail dust and brake dust), paint over-spray, tree sap and other environmental pollution can bond to your paint. If the paint is to be machined polished it is important to decontaminate the paint in order to have a truly clean and naked surface to work on.

We utilize a cay bar to “mechanically” remove bonded contaminants and an Iron Remover to chemically remove ferrous metals from the paint. This service leaves the paint feeling silky smooth and fully prepped for any paint polishing.

“Speed Polish” Paint Enhancement Package:

Clean and add some extra “pop” to your paint with our Speed Polish package. Includes one trip around the vehicle lightly machine polishing the paint with an A.I.O Polish. This All In One Polish helps exfoliate the paint while leaving a slick layer of temporary protection behind. This can be a perfect twice a year service for revitalizing your paint or a great way to get a vehicle ready for re-sale.

Note: this service lightly cleans the paint and enhances overall gloss. Deeper defects will still be present in the paint. A “One Step” or “Two Step” Paint Correction is recommended to remove deeper defect. See our Paint Correction page for details.

(Starting @ $100 per hour + Tax)

Metal Polishing Package:

This is a great addition for classic cars, motorcycles or modern vehicles with lots of bright-work. If the paint looks dazzling, why wouldn’t you want your bright-work to look amazing too? Bright-work such as aluminum trim, chrome bumpers, stainless exhaust tips, engine bay details are polished by hand to remove oxidation and restore a brilliant shine.

(Starting @ $100 per hour + Tax)

“Speed Demon” Package:

With the track day client in mind restore your Track Machine to a Show Queen. Includes rubber residue removal, heavy bug/tar/traffic film removal and Plexiglas cleaning and polishing.

(Starting @ $75 per hour + Tax)
