Why It Matters

San Francisco is hard on paint

Marine layer, acid fog, bird droppings, and street parking next to buses — SF conditions accelerate paint degradation faster than most cities. Regular exterior detailing removes surface contamination before it bonds and etches.

A hand detail is also different from an automated wash. No spinning brushes, no harsh tunnel chemicals. Just a safe, thorough clean that leaves your paint better — not worse.

An exterior detail on a BMW M5 Competition

Nine frames came off this job, and every one of them was shot after the wash. There are no before photos of this car, so what follows is the finished result and nothing else.

No ceramic coating was applied on this car and none is being claimed here — the beading on the hood is water standing on freshly washed paint. This was the standard exterior detail priced below. More finished cars are in the gallery.

Make Your Detail Last Longer

Ceramic coating keeps paint protected for years

After a full exterior detail, your paint is the cleanest it will be. That's the ideal time to apply a ceramic coating — locking in protection against UV, water spots, and contaminants for 2–5 years.

FAQ

Common questions

Our exterior detail includes a foam pre-soak, hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, wheel wells, door jambs, exterior windows, tire dressing, and a spray paint protectant. Iron decontamination and clay bar are available as add-ons.
SF's marine layer, fog, bird drop exposure, and street parking conditions make every 4–6 weeks a good baseline. Vehicles parked outdoors full-time benefit from more frequent service.
We carry our own water supply and power for all exterior details. You do not need to provide water or electricity.
An exterior detail focuses on the paint, wheels, and glass. A full detail bundles it with our complete interior detail. If your interior is already clean, the exterior-only package is the faster and more cost-effective option.
Light swirl removal and paint correction are separate services. Our standard exterior detail cleans and protects the surface but does not include machine polishing. Ask about our paint correction add-on if needed.
