Exterior Detail in Richmond, VA

The Signature Exterior is a proper hand wash and exterior detail done the way it should be — at your driveway, anywhere in the Richmond, VA area. Two-bucket method with grit guards, a pH-neutral foam bath, iron and tar decontamination, wheels and tires cleaned and dressed, exterior glass polished, door jambs wiped down, and a hand-applied carnauba wax for deep, wet-looking gloss. Plan on 2–3 hours; it's ideal as weekly or bi-weekly exterior maintenance.

Automatic tunnels and gas-station brushes are how paint picks up swirl marks in the first place, and a quick rinse never touches what's actually stuck to your clear coat. The things customers point out to us: brake dust baked onto wheel faces, orange iron specks across white and silver paint, tree sap and bird droppings that have started to etch, hard water spots from sprinklers, bug splatter across the front bumper and mirrors, road film and pollen that turns the whole car dull yellow-green in Virginia spring, and salt haze after winter. Our wash sequence handles each of those in the right order — chemical decontamination dissolves iron and tar before anything touches the paint, so contamination isn't dragged across the finish, and the wax layer that follows makes the next round of pollen, rain, and bird droppings rinse off instead of sticking. If your paint already shows swirls or has gone flat and hazy, washing won't fix that — The Glow Package will.
