Truck wheel and tire before and after exterior detailing by Eric's Mobile Auto Spa

Every inch of the outside, protected

Enhance your car's exterior with the meticulous Exterior Detail Service, designed to clean and protect every inch of your vehicle's surface. This is the full 12-point exterior process from my Complete Detail, on its own: pre-treatment of problem areas, double snow foam, a proper hand wash, and layered protection finished with glossy tire dressing.

Exterior work is quoted for your vehicle rather than set by my size tables, because a garaged sedan and a truck that lives under a pine tree are simply not the same job. Tell me what you drive and where it parks, and I will give you a real number before I start, as nobody likes surprises!

My 12-point exterior checklist

  1. Pre-treat problem areas: Bugs, Bird droppings, Tar, Sap, Brake Dust
  2. Snow Foam Exterior application
  3. Degrease & Deep Clean Tires
  4. Clean Wheels, Wheel Barrels & Wheel Wells
  5. Pressure Wash Rinse & 2nd Snow Foam Application
  6. Hand Wash using multiple microfiber rags
  7. Detail Door Jams, Fuel Door, Trunk Seal
  8. Formula 4 Spray Wax application
  9. Vehicle dried with plush microfiber towels
  10. Application of Ceramic Sealant
  11. Glossy Tire Dressing Applied
  12. Exterior Glass Streak Free

Common add-ons out here

  1. Hard water spot removal for sprinkler-misted street parking, $35 chemical
  2. Clay bar treatment when the baggie test feels bumpy, $60
  3. Headlight restoration for sun-clouded lenses, starts at $50
  4. Tree sap removal at $5 per droplet, waived for my Monthly Plan customers
  5. Sticker removal, $15 on glass, $20 on paint
  6. Machine polishing when the paint needs real correction, $120 per hour

Why is tree sap free for Monthly Plan customers? Because I keep your vehicle waxed and protected, making it easier to remove. You will know the price prior to my beginning work, as nobody likes surprises!

Straight answers

Questions I hear a lot

Why is the exterior quoted instead of listed in a size table?
Because condition changes the hours involved more than any other package. Etched water spots, baked-on sap, or oversized trucks all take real extra time. You get an exact number after a few questions, before I ever start.
What protection goes on the paint?
Formula 4 Spray Wax during the wash stage and an application of ceramic sealant after drying. That is a sealant, not a ceramic coating, and I will never blur that line.
Do you need my water?
Yes. I connect a 100 foot hose to your outside spigot and a 100 foot extension cord to a standard outlet, so reach is almost never a problem at a house. If your location does not work, bring the car to my shop in La Crescenta.
