Professional exterior detailing • Grant Park, IL
HAND WASHED.
DECONTAMINATED.
PROTECTED.
Safe hand washing, clay bar and iron decontamination, and sealant protection done indoors in our Grant Park shop.
Hand wash vs. tunnel wash
YOUR PAINT DESERVES BETTER.
Most swirl marks we correct came from an automatic wash. Here’s what we do differently.
No swirl marks
Automatic tunnel brushes drag the last car’s road grit across your clear coat. We use fresh wash mitts and plush microfiber towels on every vehicle.
Deep wheel cleaning
Inner barrels, faces, brake calipers and lug nuts — not just a quick pass over the front of the wheel.
Protection that lasts
A real wax or sealant that holds up for months, instead of the scented spray “hot wax” at the end of a tunnel wash.

Exterior detailing FAQ
COMMON QUESTIONS.
Will rain ruin my detail immediately?
No. The sealant we apply is what protects the paint — rain on a properly sealed finish beads up and rolls off instead of soaking into the clear coat.
How often should I get this done?
Most customers do a full exterior detail two to four times a year, with maintenance washes in between depending on how the vehicle is driven and stored.
My car is brand new. Do I really need a clay bar treatment?
Usually yes. Vehicles pick up rail dust and industrial fallout in transport and on the lot, so even brand-new paint often feels gritty before it’s decontaminated.
How long do I need to leave my car?
Plan on most of the day. Timing depends on vehicle size, condition and any add-ons, and we’ll confirm the window when you book.
