DETAILING
Manteca & the 209
Pre wash, hand wash and dry, wheels and tires, and a paint protection coat, all done where you park. Exterior Detail from $100 (sedan price).
Valley dust, bug splatter from the freeway, brake dust on the wheels, and water spots from sprinklers. An exterior detail takes care of all of it without the swirl marks an automatic brush wash can leave behind.
We start with a pre wash to loosen dirt, then hand wash and dry the vehicle. We clean the wheel wells, detail the rims and tires, dress the tires, and finish with a paint protection coat that helps the paint shed dirt and water until your next wash.
A drive-through wash uses brushes or high-pressure jets and moves on. Our exterior detail is done by hand from start to finish: a pre wash, a hand wash and dry, cleaning of the wheel wells, detailed rims and tires, tire dressing, and a paint protection coat.
Every Exterior Detail includes:
Sedan price. Exterior only.
Hand-applied wax for added shine.
Priced by severity, paint and glass.
Prices shown are for sedans. Larger vehicles may have a small upcharge. Headlight restoration ($90) and engine bay cleaning ($50) can be added to any visit.
Hand washing avoids the spinning brushes that cause fine swirl marks over time.
Field dust, pollen, tree sap and road film come off before they bake onto the paint in summer heat.
Brake dust builds up fast. We clean the rims, tires and wheel wells instead of just rinsing them.
The paint protection coat helps water bead and makes the next wash easier.
A clean, well-kept exterior is the first thing a buyer sees.
We come to you, so there's no waiting at a wash on a Saturday.
Real vehicles we've detailed as part of our Signature Full Detail, which includes the exterior wash steps.

We're based in Manteca and do exterior detailing throughout Manteca, Lathrop, Tracy, Ripon and Modesto, plus Stockton, Mountain House and other parts of the 209. You don't need to drop the car off or wait in a lobby. Most customers are at home or at work while we're detailing.
Summer temperatures here regularly push past 100°F, which bakes bird droppings, bug residue and sap into the clear coat faster. Agricultural and construction dust settles on everything, and sprinkler overspray can leave mineral spots. Regular hand washing, plus a layer of protection, keeps that from building up.
An exterior detail's protection coat is short term. For protection measured in years, look at ceramic coating. If the paint already has swirls or looks dull, paint enhancement or correction can bring back the gloss first.
Most customers pair services in a single visit. Here's what else we do, all at your location.
