Deep wheel focus
Wheels and rims collect brake dust and road film quickly, especially in city driving. We give them dedicated attention before the rest of the wash.

Paint, glass, wheels
A safer exterior clean for vehicles exposed to Toronto road grime.
Exterior detailing is for vehicles that need more than a basic rinse. Toronto roads leave brake dust, salt film, construction dust, pollen, sap, bug residue, and traffic grime on paint, wheels, glass, and trim. Our exterior package focuses on washing carefully and finishing the vehicle with gloss and protection.
Two-step wash
A pre-wash helps loosen dirt before hand contact, then the exterior is washed more carefully to reduce unnecessary paint contact.
Glass clarity
Exterior glass is cleaned so visibility and overall finish improve, especially after winter or long highway driving.
Wax protection
Wax adds gloss and short-term protection so water, dust, and road film are easier to manage between washes.
For daily drivers and weekend cars
Exterior detailing helps the car look maintained, not just wet.
A clean exterior is often the first thing people notice, but a good exterior detail is not only about shine. It is about removing the film that dulls paint, cleaning wheels that collect brake dust, clearing glass, and adding protection so the finish does not feel neglected right after the next drive.
The process begins with a pre-wash to loosen loose dirt and road film. Wheels, tires, and rims receive deep cleaning because they often need stronger attention than painted panels. The body receives a two-step hand wash, followed by glass cleaning and wax protection for gloss and easier maintenance.
Tree sap removal is included, but heavy sap, paint overspray, tar, or bonded contamination may need extra work or a polishing quote. If your vehicle has swirl marks, faded paint, water spots, or deeper gloss issues, paint correction may be the better service.

Common questions
Exterior car detailing FAQs
How much does exterior car detailing cost?
Exterior Detailing starts at $100. Final pricing can change with vehicle size, heavy contamination, sap, tar, or travel distance.
Is this the same as a car wash?
No. It is more careful and more detailed than a quick wash, especially around wheels, glass, paint film, and wax protection.
Do you bring water and power?
We discuss water and power access before the appointment. Some mobile locations are simple, while condos and offices need more planning.
Can you remove tree sap?
Normal tree sap spots can be addressed, but heavy or hardened sap may need extra time or a custom quote.
Will wax protect my paint?
Wax adds gloss and short-term protection. For longer protection, ceramic coating is a better option after proper preparation.
Can you fix scratches?
Exterior detailing can clean and improve the finish, but scratches, swirls, and oxidation usually need paint correction.
Can you detail outside my condo or office?
Yes when the property allows it and there is enough safe working space. We confirm location rules before scheduling.
