More than a wash: smoother paint, stronger gloss, and better protection.
From $249
Short answer
Service fit
This is the stronger exterior choice when rough paint or winter film makes a basic wash feel unfinished.
Choose this when
Exterior Premium Detail is for paint that needs more than a basic hand wash. It adds clay decontamination, gloss-focused finishing, trim attention, and stronger sealant protection.
It is not ceramic coating and it is not multi-stage paint correction. It is the mobile-friendly exterior upgrade for daily drivers that need a cleaner, slicker, sharper finish.

The job is reviewed before we call it complete, especially for stains, salt, pet hair, and gloss work.
FAQ
Straight answers before you book.
No. This is a wash, decontamination, gloss, and sealant service. Ceramic coating requires a controlled shop environment and is not currently offered by Detail Pals.
It can improve light haze and presentation, but it is not multi-stage correction. Choose Paint Enhancement for a one-step machine polish, or a body shop for deeper defects.
Clay bar is worth it when paint feels gritty or rough after washing, especially after winter, highway driving, or parking under trees.

Read guideDuring Alberta winter, plan for an interior detail every 4-6 weeks and an exterior wash + sealant every 2-3 weeks. Salt is corrosive — regular washing protects paint, and interior extraction lifts salt stains before they set permanently.
