Service Spotlight: Premium Exterior Car Care
Our Wheels-Off Full Detail goes beyond a standard wash to give your car the ultimate care. Every component, from wheels to suspension, is meticulously cleaned, polished, and treated for a flawless finish.
Wheels-Off Care
Our Wheels-Off Full Detail is designed for vehicle owners who demand the highest level of attention. We carefully lift the car using factory-correct points and specialty accessories to avoid scratches, bent pinch welds, or damaged trim. Every step is done with precision to ensure complete safety.
Wheel and Brake Detailing
Wheels are removed with extreme care to avoid nicking or scuffing rims and brake calipers. Each wheel undergoes deep cleaning and decontamination to remove brake dust, tar, iron particles, and road grime. Optional machine polishing enhances gloss and clarity for a like-new appearance.
Suspension and Undercarriage Attention
While the wheels are off, we meticulously detail wheel barrels, brake calipers, suspension components, inner fender liners, and trim. This ensures areas most shops overlook receive full attention, leaving your car spotless from every angle.
Ceramic Coating Options
We offer ceramic coating for wheels to help repel dust, debris, and light surface damage. Coated wheels stay cleaner longer and are easier to maintain, preserving a fresh, just-cleaned look after every wash.
Proper Reassembly and Torque
When reassembling, each lug nut is hand-started, snugged, and torqued to manufacturer specifications with a calibrated wrench. This step ensures safety, even wear, and peak performance. At Pristine Image, nothing is rushed or skipped.

What Cars Benefit From Exterior Detailing?
Every car can benefit from professional exterior detailing, no matter its age or type. Our expertise ensures every vehicle looks its absolute best, from daily drivers to show-stopping luxury cars.
Daily Drivers
Even everyday cars can benefit from exterior detailing. Regular washing alone doesn’t remove embedded dirt, road grime, or minor contaminants that build up over time. We use expert techniques and proven products to bring out the best in daily drivers, keeping paint glossy and trim looking new.
Luxury and Exotic Cars
High-end vehicles deserve specialized care. Luxury and exotic cars often have delicate paint and unique finishes that require precision and skill. Our team has nearly two decades of experience, ensuring every panel, wheel, and trim piece is handled with the care it deserves.
Classic and Collector Cars
Classic cars require extra attention to maintain their value and appearance. Aging paint, vintage trim, and custom finishes need gentle yet thorough cleaning. We tailor our detailing process to preserve original finishes while enhancing gloss and clarity.
Show Cars
Vehicles meant for car shows demand perfection. Every reflection, curve, and surface must look flawless. With advanced polishing, paint correction, and ceramic coating options, our experts make sure show cars stand out with maximum depth and shine.
Family Vehicles
Family cars face everyday wear from road trips, weather, and kids. Detailing removes stubborn grime, restores shine, and keeps the vehicle looking well-maintained. Pristine Image provides thorough, safe care that protects the car’s appearance and helps it stay clean longer between washes.

Pristine Image Exterior Detailing FAQs
1. What does an exterior detailing service include?
Exterior detailing goes far beyond a simple car wash. It includes a thorough hand wash, paint decontamination, polishing, and application of a sealant or wax. Wheels, tires, and trim are cleaned and dressed, leaving the entire exterior looking polished and well-cared-for.
2. How often should I get my car detailed?
For most vehicles, every 3 to 6 months is ideal. This keeps the paint, trim, and wheels in top condition while preventing buildup of dirt and contaminants. Regular detailing helps maintain shine and makes washing between visits faster and easier.
3. Can detailing remove scratches or swirl marks?
Exterior detailing can minimize light scratches and swirls through polishing. More severe imperfections may require paint correction, which uses specialized compounds and techniques. Either way, detailing significantly improves the smoothness and gloss of your car’s finish.
4. Is exterior detailing safe for all paint types?
Yes, when done by experienced professionals, exterior detailing is safe for all paint finishes. We use pH-neutral soaps, soft mitts, and gentle polishing techniques. This ensures the surface is cleaned and enhanced without causing damage or discoloration.
5. What’s the difference between standard washing and exterior detailing?
A standard wash removes surface dirt and grime, but it doesn’t address deeper contaminants or enhance the paint. Exterior detailing includes decontamination, polishing, and dressing of trim and wheels. It leaves your car cleaner, shinier, and better protected against dirt and wear.
