EXTERIOR DETAILING SERVICES
Premium Exterior Detailing & Protection
Restore your vehicle's exterior with our professional detailing services, brought directly to your location across the Scottish Highlands. Choose from two comprehensive packages: Essential Clean for our entry-level exterior service, or Deep Clean for complete decontamination and protection. Both include thorough exterior cleaning, paint decontamination, and protective treatments using professional-grade products. Our mobile service means showroom-quality results without leaving your driveway.
Exterior detailing is a comprehensive cleaning and protection process that goes far beyond a standard car wash. Our Essential Clean and Deep Clean packages address every exterior surface of your vehicle—removing road grime, tar, iron fallout, and contaminants that regular washing can't touch.Unlike quick wash services, exterior detailing takes 45 minutes to 4 hours depending on the package and vehicle size. The Essential Clean provides a thorough wash and 3-month protection, while the Deep Clean includes clay bar decontamination and 6-month sealant for long-lasting protection against Highland weather conditions. We use professional-grade products from Gtechniq and Bilt Hamber—the same products used by luxury dealerships.What is Exterior Detailing?
For vehicles with swirl marks, scratches, or faded paint, we recommend adding our Paint Correction service to restore the paint to showroom condition. Or, for ultimate long-term protection, combine your Exterior Deep Clean with Ceramic Coating to lock in that fresh finish for up to 5 years.Pro Tip: Maximise Your Results

We don't cut corners to compete on price. Here's what you're paying for:
• Professional-grade products – Gtechniq, Bilt Hamber, Rupes equipment (what luxury dealerships use, not Halfords consumer products)
• Meticulous process – A Deep Clean takes 1.5–4 hours, not 30 minutes. We don't rush.
• Full accountability – £2M public liability insurance, documented work, and we stand behind every job
• Sustainable quality – We charge what we need to deliver consistent, professional results without compromising Cheaper detailers cut corners: consumer products, rushed jobs, skipped prep. That might look good for a week, but it won't protect your paint or preserve resale value. You're not paying for a wash. You're investing in protection that lasts.
-
Yes! If you want both interior and exterior cleaning, we recommend booking our Full Detail service instead. It's more cost-effective than booking exterior and interior separately, and ensures your entire vehicle gets the comprehensive treatment it deserves. However, if you only need exterior work—perhaps your interior is already clean, or you prefer to handle it yourself—our Exterior Detail packages are perfect for you.
-
We work in most weather, but heavy rain, snow, extremely low temperatures, or high winds can affect results and safety. If conditions are unsafe or will compromise quality, we'll reschedule at no extra cost. Your deposit is always protected. Light rain or slightly colder temps don't stop us – we've adapted for Highland weather. However, if you're adding ceramic coating or paint correction, those need dry conditions, so we'll monitor forecasts and communicate in advance.
