Our Exterior Detail package includes an exterior wash, decontamination, and detail package.  As with every package we exert meticulous care in rejuvenating your vehicle's exterior.  The specific detail for this package is as follows:

Exterior Pre-wash: Our exterior detail package begins with a pre-wash.  We leverage a highly concentrated pre-wash foam agent that dissolves and softens dirt and grime so it can be easily removed during the wash. Our pre-wash produces a thick foam designed to prep the most embattled areas of the vehicle that softens bugs, baked on dirt, and more. It is formulated specifically to offer maximum wetting and rinses off easily. ​During the panel dwell period, Lift’s bubbles soak the hardened debris and allow it to release from the vehicle with ease during the wash.

​

Exterior Wash: We begin the wash process with the introduction of a high foaming,  pH neutral cleaning foam with a unique cherry fragrance applied using a foam cannon. The Gentle Snow Foam develops an even, well moistened foam blanket over the vehicle. Due to its pH neutral formula, it does not corrode waxed or sealed surfaces. We then utilize a pH neutral cleaning shampoo during the manual car washing process. Quality control is paramount, so we deploy a 3-bucket manual wash method for each vehicle.  One bucket is dedicated for the exterior wash and another specifically for rinse to mitigate the potential of swirling to the exterior surface.  A final third bucket is dedicated to washing the tires and wheels of your vehicle. 

 

Exterior Decontamination:  Once the wash is completed and the vehicle has been rinsed, we transition to further chemical decontamination of the vehicle before any clay bar is utilized. We leverage what is considered a gold standard product in the world of detailing for the decontamination of paint, glass, metals and wheels of the vehicle.  The advanced pH-balanced (pH-7) formula safely breaks down ferrous metallic contamination caused by automotive brakes, rail travel, and construction from delicate vehicle surfaces. The product is leveraged on the paint, plastic, chrome, glass, alloy wheels and brake calipers. This aspect of the process works by forming a water-soluble complex with the iron particles lodged in the surface, allowing them to be rinsed free, and cleaning deeper than washing or claying alone. 

​

Clay bar decontamination:  Once decontamination is complete, we then deploy an additional step of mechanical decontamination; however, only if it is necessary.  If clay bar treatment is deemed necessary, we will leverage a clay lubricant that provides a coat of slick lubrication between the clay bar and your paintwork to mitigate marring the surface of the vehicle. Once the clay bar process is complete the vehicle is once again rinsed and followed by the drying process.

 

Our touchless drying process:  We value your prized possession and use only the most premium detailing tools to get the job done. One of the most vulnerable times for your vehicle to become scratched is during the drying process.  Therefore, we deploy the safest touch-free drying method available.  Our touchless drying method mitigates any potential damage to the clear coat specifically reducing the potential introduction of swirl marks, scratches, and marring of your paint finish.  This method provides a high-powered, continuous blast of warm air, effectively removing water throughout the surface as well as the various crevices of the vehicle without introducing any chance of scratching or marring the clearcoat.

 

Sealant and dressing: The final detail stage includes an application of exterior sealant to the paint. The sealant uses binding polymer monomer technology to produce a water beading, brilliant, long-lasting finish with UV Protection. The surface migrating molecule that attaches to the paint surface of a vehicle. Once attached the molecule cross-links and polymerizes on the surface building a hydrophobic durable layer of protection. Additionally, all rubber (tires) and plastic are dressed and applied appropriately to exterior components of the vehicle. The exterior dressing is a water-based, silicon-oxide multi-use dressing for trim and tires that offers sophisticated UV-Inhibitors and an advanced waterborne acrylic-resin system to provide superior water-repellency over conventional dressings. The dressing restores richness of color to faded materials leaving behind a matte to semi-gloss finish.
