Full Exterior Detailing - Hand Wash, Decontamination, Clay Bar & Paint Protection
Every detail begins with a proper cleaning. At Santa Monica Mobile Detailing, our exterior cleaning process goes beyond a basic rinse. We focus on removing the layers that regular washing often leaves behind, road film, salt, and stuck on debris that slowly dull your finish. By combining safe techniques with biodegradable products, we help restore your vehicle's natural shine while maintaining the integrity of the paint and trim.
🚗 Hand Wash and Dry
We begin with a detailed hand wash to lift away surface dirt, dust, and buildup using eco friendly, paint safe solutions. Each wash is followed by a careful drying process to avoid water spots and streaks, leaving your vehicle clean without compromise.
✨ Bug and Tar Removal
Bug splatter and road tar don't just look unpleasant, they can harm your paint over time. Our team applies purpose built cleaners to safely break down these tough residues, removing them without scraping or scratching. The result is a smooth, contaminant free surface ready for further detailing or protective treatments.
Paint Enhancement - Restoring Clarity and Protection
This step focuses on improving the surface condition of your vehicle's paint. By removing embedded contaminants and restoring clarity, we help bring back a cleaner, smoother finish that looks refreshed and feels well cared for.
✨ Clay Bar Treatment
Using a gentle clay process, we remove bonded contaminants that regular washing can't touch, things like brake dust, rail dust, and industrial fallout. This step leaves the surface smooth to the touch and ready for polishing or protective products.
🛡️ Polishing and Waxing
We apply a light machine polish or hand application, depending on your vehicle's needs, to improve gloss and remove minor surface marks. A layer of wax is then applied to help shield the paint from the sun, moisture, and everyday exposure.
Wheel and Tire Care
Tires and wheels face constant exposure to brake dust, road grime, and moisture. Our approach targets buildup in these high contact areas to improve appearance and support long term maintenance, without using harsh chemicals or leaving behind residue.
🔄 Tire Cleaning and Dressing
We begin by scrubbing away dirt and old dressing from the tire surface. Once clean, we apply a water based dressing that adds a dark, even finish without a greasy shine. This not only improves appearance but also helps resist cracking from exposure.
🌿 Wheel Well Cleaning
Often overlooked, wheel wells collect grime that can lead to rust or corrosion. We remove built up debris and rinse thoroughly, helping to maintain a cleaner underbody and reduce long term wear.
Why Choose Us?
Our service is built around what your vehicle needs, care that's consistent, effective, and respectful of both your time and your paintwork. Every part of our process is designed to deliver long term results without overcomplicating things.
Hand Crafted Detailing at Your Door
Each service is performed by hand, onsite, and with full attention to detail. We don't use drive through tools or quick dry methods, just proper techniques that treat your car with care from start to finish.
Clear Results Without Overdoing It
We focus on what matters most: clean surfaces, healthy paint, and a polished look that lasts. There's no overselling, no pushing extras, just honest work that gets your vehicle looking sharp.
Safe Products for Real World Conditions
Every product we use is tested for effectiveness and surface safety. From wheel wells to paint, we use cleaners and protectants that work hard without leaving buildup or damaging finishes.
Built for Local Roads and Coastal Air
We understand what vehicles go through in Santa Monica, CA. Our services target salt, moisture, sun exposure, and city grime, all the stuff that builds up over time and chips away at a clean finish.
