Exterior Car Detailing Services in Vancouver, WA
A great service to get your exterior looking great again.
Protect your paint from weather and get your exterior car detailing services done at Bates Auto Detail.
Getting your car professionally washed and sealed not only enhances its appearance but also protects its exterior from environmental damage. A thorough wash removes dirt, grime, and contaminants that can lead to paint deterioration over time. Paint sealants act as a barrier against UV rays, bird droppings, and tree sap, which can harm the finish. Additionally, we use high-quality products and techniques that ensure your vehicle receives a level of care that typical washing cannot achieve, ultimately preserving its value and extending its lifespan. Regular professional detailing maintains the pristine look of your car and contributes to a more enjoyable driving experience.
The Exterior Detail Process
1. Clean wheels, tires, and fenders using special cleaners and brushes
2. Complete hand wash of vehicle including door jams, gas cap, and remove any bugs on front bumper.
3. Synthetic clay mitt to remove contaminants stuck on the paint. This will leave the paint smooth and ready for paint protection.
4. Apply wax or ceramic spray to the paint by hand for shine and protection.
5. Dress tires and any plastic trim for added shine and protection.
6. Clean exterior windows for that streak free finish.
If you're looking to remove paint imperfections like scratches and oxidation, check out our “Paint Correction” service which includes a two step buffing process.
