➤➤ Bridges Exterior Detailing Process

Exterior Detailing Designed by Pros for Pefectionists

Start With a Proper Hand Wash

We don’t do the quick splash-and-go thing. We start with a thorough hand wash to lift off loose dirt and road film, so we’re not grinding grime into your paint while we work.

 

Deep Clean the Details

Next, we hit the areas that make a car look “clean” versus actually clean, like wheels, tires, and all the tight spots where buildup hides. This is where the vehicle starts looking sharp again, not just shiny from far away.

 

Decontaminate the Paint

Even after a wash, paint can still feel rough because of stuck-on grime, fallout, and whatever the road throws at it. We decontaminate the surface so it feels smooth and looks clearer, and you can literally feel the difference when you run your hand across it.

 

Finish With a Clean, Crisp Look

Once the exterior is cleaned up, we do a final wipe down and touch-up to make sure everything looks even and dialed in. You’ll leave with paint that looks brighter, wheels that look finished, and a car that just feels better to walk up to.

How Exterior Detailing Pays Off

Your Car Looks “New Again” Up Close

Exterior detailing doesn’t just make your car look shiny from 20 feet away. It deep cleans the paint, wheels, and trim, then knocks off the stuck-on grime that makes a finish look tired. The result is crisp, clean, and glossy, like you actually take care of the thing.

Washing Gets Way Easier

When the paint is decontaminated and smooth, dirt and road film don’t hang on as hard. That means less scrubbing, fewer “why won’t this come off” moments, and faster washes that actually look good when you’re done. It’s basically a cheat code for keeping your car clean.

It Helps Your Paint Age Better

Regular detailing keeps buildup from sitting on the surface and wearing the finish down over time. You’re staying ahead of the grime, oxidation, and the everyday junk the road throws at your car. Keep up with it, and your paint stays sharper for the long haul.

➤➤ Exterior Detailing Questions?

Read our Top Exterior Detailing FAQs

  • 1) What’s included in exterior detailing?

    Exterior detailing is a full reset for the outside of your vehicle, not a quick wash. We clean the paint, wheels, tires, and exterior trim, then decontaminate the surface to remove the stuck-on grime that normal washes leave behind. The goal is simple: smoother paint, brighter shine, and a car that looks clean up close, not just from across the parking lot.

  • 2) How is exterior detailing different from a regular car wash?

    A regular wash removes surface dirt, but it usually leaves behind road film, bonded contamination, and that rough feel on the paint. Exterior detailing goes deeper by properly cleaning the details and decontaminating the paint so it looks clearer and feels slick again. It’s the difference between “it’s not dirty” and “dang, that looks good.”

  • 3) How often should I get exterior detailing?

    Most people do it every few months, but it depends on how and where you drive. If your car lives outside, sees a lot of highway miles, or deals with bugs, tree sap, and road grime, you’ll want it more often. If you’re more of a weekend driver, you can stretch it out and still keep the paint looking sharp.

  • 4) Will exterior detailing remove scratches and swirls?

    Exterior detailing can improve the overall look, but it’s not the same thing as paint correction. Light marks may look better after a proper decon and finishing touches, but true swirls and deeper defects need polishing to really change the paint. If you want that next-level clarity, we’ll point you toward paint correction.

  • 5) What should I do before my exterior detailing appointment?

    Just remove personal items from the exterior and make sure we can access the vehicle easily. If there’s heavy sap, tar, or a bunch of stuck-on bugs, it helps to mention it when you book so we can plan for it. Show up, hand us the keys, and we’ll handle the rest.
