STEP 1
Two-bucket wash
Foam pre-soak and a proper wash method that doesn't add swirls.

Done right, once.
EXTERIOR DETAILING AND PAINT DECONTAMINATION

Most vehicles
Mobile or in-shop
Driveway, office lot or bay
Decontaminated
Iron, tar and bonded grit removed
6-month sealant
Slicker paint, easier washing
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Paint, wheels, glass, trim.
STEP 2
Iron and tar removal
Chemical decontamination pulls out brake fallout and road tar.
STEP 3
Clay treatment
Bonded contaminants sheared off so the paint is actually smooth.
STEP 4
Wheels and wells
Barrels, faces, wells and tires — where most washes stop short.
STEP 5
Sealant
Six months of protection, gloss and easier maintenance washing.
STEP 6
Glass and trim
Streak-free glass, trim treated, tires dressed matte not greasy.

WHY IT MATTERS
A wash is not a decontamination.
Run a hand over your paint after a car wash — if it feels gritty, that's iron fallout and bonded contamination that soap will never touch.

- Seasonal reset

THE DETAILS
Decontamination is the whole point
Brake dust embeds in clear coat as iron particles that rust in place. Road tar bonds chemically.
Washing without adding damage
A large share of the swirl marks we correct were installed by well-meaning washing — one bucket, one dirty mitt, dragging grit across the paint.
Sealant now, coating later
A sealant gives you about six months of gloss and easier maintenance.
ADD-ON
Engine detailing
Engine detailing is available as a cosmetic add-on to an exterior detail, mobile or at our West Chester shop. It is quoted per vehicle after we look at the engine bay.
This is appearance work only. It is not mechanical repair, inspection or maintenance, and it does not replace service from a mechanic. If you need diagnostics or repairs, that belongs with your shop — we clean what you see when the hood is open.

What exterior clients say.
"Took my PPF'd Audi in for an exterior detail and added a basic interior clean-up — super easy to schedule and pretty inexpensive. They got it showroom ready in a couple of hours and I was extremely happy with it."
"We had Blackline ceramic coat our two vehicles. We will absolutely be using Blackline for years!"
"Booked mobile service at my office and came out to a car that looked better than the day I picked it up. Zero disruption to my day."
Exterior detailing questions.
No. Swirls need machine paint correction.
