Exterior Detail That Keeps Your Protected and Glossy

An easy way to bring out the gloss and protect your car’s paint

An Exterior Detail to Do Once or Twice a Year

Getting your car’s exterior detailed once or twice a year makes a noticeable difference. It clears off the grime, brings out the gloss, and adds a protective layer against the outdoor elements. Whether it’s salty sea breeze, sun exposure, rain, or debris from the road, your car takes a beating out there. A proper wash and wax helps preserve the paint, keeping things slick and smooth.

Although it’s not as durable as a ceramic coating, it’s still a great way to upkeep your exterior. For even better results you can get paint correction done on your vehicle to remove the swirls and really make the paint shine.

What’s Included in The Wash and Wax

This isn’t just a quick rinse and dry. A wash and wax service means a full exterior detail that cleanses the paint, smooths out the surface, and gives it a fresh layer of protection. Here’s what you get: 

Wheel and Tire Cleaning

We start by deep cleaning the wheels, tires, and fender wells to get rid of heavy brake dust, road grime, and built-up dirt, especially common in Charlotte’s changing weather.

Gentle Hand Wash

We use a soft mitt and a pH-balanced soap to hand wash your vehicle. This method helps lift off dirt and contaminants without scratching or dulling your paint.

Clay Bar Treatment

Even after washing, your paint may still feel rough. The clay bar removes embedded contaminants stuck in the surface, leaving your paint smooth and ready for protection.

Sealant Application

We apply a high-quality paint sealant that enhances gloss and provides a hydrophobic layer to repel water, dust, and pollutants. It adds a clean finish that lasts for several months.

Tire Dressing

Once your tires are dry, we use a water-based dressing to bring back that deep, dark look without the oily shine or sling marks down the side of your car.

Crystal-Clear Glass

All exterior windows and mirrors are cleaned until they are spotless. No haze or streaks, just clear visibility and a polished look.

If you want to hit reset on the inside and out, combine this with an Interior Detail. You’ll have a full refresh that’ll make your car feel brand new.

Exterior Detailing FAQs

Do you come to me?

Absolutely. FC Auto Detailing is a mobile service, which means we bring everything we need right to your driveway or parking lot. If needed, you can also drop off your vehicle at our home-garage and we can service it there. 

How long does the protection last?

Sealant protection typically lasts three to six months. Cars that stay garaged will hold onto it longer, while vehicles exposed to the sun and weather might need it reapplied sooner. Using harsh soaps or automatic brushes can also wear it down faster.

Will this remove scratches?

A wash and wax can help reduce the appearance of very minor light swirls, but it won’t hide them in a meaningful way. For that, paint correction is the go-to. Really deep ones might even need wet sanding or a touch-up to fully fix.
