We Provide a Pro-Level Mobile Exterior Detailing Process

Overall Vehicle Assessment

To ensure that we perform a full and complete exterior detailing job as possible, an initial vehicle condition inspection and report is necessary. This paints a clear picture of the current condition of your car, truck, or SUV, including paint defects, problem areas that collect most of the contamination in Carlsbad, California, and any other issues with your exterior.

Hand Wash All Exterior Surfaces

After the surface is inspected and an adequate record is made of your ride’s condition, we then start our exterior detailing packages with a thorough and contamination-free two-bucket hand wash. Hand washing is a simple yet highly effective step to exterior auto detailing that allows us to reach every surface and hidden area of your exterior, giving your car, truck, or SUV a FULL wash. Using a microfiber wash mitt and two buckets to prevent cross-contamination, residual contamination is removed successfully.

Incorporate our Clay Bar Decontamination

If you have purchased our higher level exterior auto detailing package here at Knox Mobile Detailing, we then shift our attention to molecular contamination removal by way of a clay bar treatment. Using a specialized clay bar, we rub it across all surfaces in an effort to agitate and remove microscopic particles of contamination residue. The smoothness and clarity of your vehicle’s exterior surfaces will be astounding following claying!

Gentle Drying and Application of Sealants

Drying, dressings, and sealants come after your vehicle is fully decontaminated and any add-on services you purchase from our mobile detailing unit are complete! Taking a gentle approach by using microfiber towels, we remove any residual wash water or clay to prevent streaks and other unsightly marks from taking shape. If you are looking for a more long-term gloss and protection from the Carlsbad elements, consider upgrading to our ceramic coating packages following this service.
