The Efficiency of Exterior Detailing from The Detail Guy

Our Add-On Exterior Detailing Services

Engine Detailing Service

STARTING AT $50

Our engine detailing service at The Detail Guy is a general cleaning of the engine bay to help it look better and even function more fluidly. We start with a heavy degreaser and use various brushes to clean the engine bay and then we use low-pressure water to rinse those areas before compressed air is used to dry all areas delicately. Following decontamination, we will dress your plastics appropriately.

Headlight Restoration Service

STARTING AT $100

To effectively restore the original clarity and proper shine of vehicle headlights, we at The Detail Guy begin by sanding as needed with various grit sand papers. The cutting and polishing process provides a clean and clear finish, which permits us to install a quality ceramic coating for added protection against the environment and your driving lifestyle.

Wheel Cleaning and Coating Service

STARTING AT $50 PER WHEEL

The Detail Guy is the Greenfield, Indiana area’s leader in wheel cleaning and coating installation services! We start by providing you with a wheels-off decontamination of your wheels and rims before giving you the option to have our Gtechniq C5 Wheel Armour Ceramic Coating formula added to it. Prices vary for the type of wheel cleaning and coating service you are looking for.

Glass Coating Service

STARTING AT $60 FOR WINDSHIELD ONLY, $200 FOR ALL EXTERIOR GLASS

Glass coating provides a layer that creates a protective shield on the glass surface. This shield enhances window cleanliness by reducing glare, facilitating improved water sheeting, and offering better UV protection.

The Truth About Automotive Exterior Detailing

Myth 1: Windex and other household cleaners are great for windows and mirrors

Windex and other household cleaners contain ammonia, which is an extremely aggressive cleaning agent. While ammonia can be very effective for certain household chores, it is far too aggressive for the delicate components of vehicles, especially some of those glass surfaces. It can damage window tint film packages, automotive paint, chrome trim, rubber, and plastic if it gets splashed onto those surfaces. Only mild cleaning solutions specifically designed for automotive detailing should be implemented when cleaning vehicles.

Myth 2: Public car washes are just as good as our exterior detailing

Exterior detailing is a comprehensive decontamination and sanitization process that removes all dirt and grime at a microscopic level. Public car washes only remove surface level dirt while leaving behind other contaminants and water spotting, along with grime stuck in hard-to-reach areas. Not only do public car washes not eliminate all grime, but the powerful water spraying often leads to swirl marks and scratches in the vehicle’s clear coat. Proper exterior detailing is a completely safe and comprehensive process that leaves your ride sparkling with a showroom quality shine.

Myth 3: Vehicles do not need exterior detailing if they are new

Exterior detailing is NOT just for older and well-used cars, trucks, or SUVs. Even new vehicles just bought can benefit from professional exterior detailing. Those new vehicles may have grit and grime left over from the manufacturing process or they may have been sitting on the dealership lot collecting bird droppings, dirt, and dust. Our exterior detailing services here at The Detail Guy also include waxing and polish as a last step, which can provide your new ride with entry-level paint protection so that new car shine lasts longer.

How We Give Your Ride Premium Exterior Detailing

Full Vehicle Inspection

The first step in The Detail Guy pro exterior detailing process is a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle’s exterior surfaces, identifying each problem area that collects dirt and grime on the paint, wheel faces, trim, glass, and every other vehicle component. No instance of dirt or contamination will go unnoticed or left alone as we develop an appropriate plan of attack for fully removing the messes on your pride and joy’s exterior.

Two-Bucket Hand Wash Technique

We then follow up your inspection with a final quote and begin the process! Going in with a safe and careful two-bucket hand wash technique, where one bucket contains a grit guard at the bottom that agitates away all dirt from the microfiber towel and the second bucket contains clean water with a safe detailing solution, The Detail Guy ensures that no surface grime is returned to the vehicle's exterior as we wipe from top to bottom on each vehicle panel.

Clay Bar Decontamination

After our two-bucket hand wash process is complete, we take a clay bar to each surface, especially your paintwork, while using a special lubricant to help the clay bar move along your exterior adequately. Following the same movements as the hand washing process, we work the clay in sections, sliding from top to bottom so the clay can agitate and lift any microscopic dust or debris that was leftover from the hand wash. Once the paint is fully decontaminated, we complete the same process on windows, trim, and wheel faces as well.

Rinsing and Drying the Surfaces

Once your ride is fully decontaminated and sanitized, it is time to give it a good rinse and dry using microfiber towels. We move along every panel in a delicate effort, ensuring an even and consistent mirror-like surface which prevents any water spotting from remaining and avoids the potential of leaving swirl marks and scrapes in your finish. One final quality inspection later and you will find yourself back behind the wheel of your ride, hitting the road with an exterior appearance that turns heads here in the Greenfield area!
