Exterior Detailing
Process-led exterior work. No shortcuts.
Exterior detailing is not an upgraded wash. It is a structured process designed to deep-clean, prepare, refine and protect the vehicle correctly.
All exterior detailing services at Detailz follow the same preparation process before any enhancement, correction or protection is applied.
Every vehicle receives the same preparation process to ensure it is safe to work on and correctly prepared for improvement.
The difference between services is not how the car is washed, but what happens after preparation.
THE PREPARATION PROCESS
21-Stage Wash Foundation
The 21-Stage Wash is a thorough exterior preparation clean, not a routine wash.
It is designed to deep-clean all exterior surfaces, gaps, edges and hard-to-reach areas, ensuring the vehicle is properly prepared before any enhancement, correction or protection work begins.
This process takes significantly longer than a standard wash and focuses on areas often missed during routine cleaning.
What the 21-Stage Wash Covers
Multi-stage pre-wash to safely loosen and remove heavy road grime
Safe contact wash using correct methods to minimise swirl risk
Detailed cleaning of wheels, tyres and wheel arches
Chemical decontamination to remove bonded tar and iron fallout
Careful cleaning of door shuts, panel edges, badges and crevices
Targeted cleaning around trims, grilles, fuel flaps and tight recesses
Thorough rinse, blow-out and controlled drying
Final inspection under proper lighting
This preparation typically takes around one hour longer than a standard wash and is included in all exterior detailing services.

Once correction is complete, the paintwork is protected with Gtechniq C2 to enhance gloss, water behaviour and ease of ongoing maintenance.
