Service overview
What to know before booking
A basic exterior wash removes loose dirt, pollen, road film, and fresh contamination from the vehicle's painted and exterior surfaces.
What a provider typically does
- 1Inspect the finish and pre-rinse loose debris
- 2Wash exterior surfaces with paint-safe products
- 3Rinse thoroughly and dry with clean microfiber towels or filtered air
Expected result and limits
The vehicle should look clean and evenly dried, with fresh surface grime removed.
A maintenance wash does not normally remove bonded contamination, oxidation, scratches, or etched water spots. Those conditions may need decontamination or paint correction.
