DOWN TO THE DETAILS!
Trust us – there is very little we haven’t seen in our Richmond exterior auto detailing and car cleaning service, but we can still surprise you! Even the worst-case scenarios can come out shining like new, and if your car isn’t in too bad shape, we can make the exterior of your automobile glisten like it did the day you drove it off the showroom floor!
The goal of an Exterior Auto Detailing job on your Henrico vehicle is to:
Bring out the maximum shine and luster of the paint finish.
Remove or minimize (not hide) light surface scratches and imperfections.
Apply a protective paint sealant.
Meticulously clean, revitalize, and protect every inch of the exterior surface, including the trim, glass, wheels, door jambs, fender-wells, and tires.
Except for our “While-you-wait” Express-Plus Detail service, we prefer you make an appointment. Most of the time we can service your vehicle in 24 hours, but more extreme cases may take 48 hours. We also accept emergency appointments and you can also drop off your automobile the evening before and pick it up after hours through our Key-Drop Service.
