A Proper Exterior Detail
Keeping your car looking sharp isn’t just about style, it’s also about protecting your investment. At Lavender Mobile Detailing, we recommend scheduling an exterior detail once or twice a year to keep your paint in healthy condition.
In Chagrin Falls, vehicles see all kinds of challenges, sun exposure, heavy rain, tree sap, bird droppings, and road salt in the winter. Each of these elements slowly wears down your paint. A proper wash and sealant doesn’t just clean the surface; it refreshes your paint and lays down a protective barrier that helps keep it glossy for longer.
What’s Included in an Exterior Detail
Our exterior detail goes far beyond a simple wash. Every step is designed to give your paint a reset, remove contaminants, and leave it shining with a protective layer. Here’s what’s included:
Wheel and Tire Cleaning
Wheels and tires take on the brunt of brake dust, mud, and road grime. We start every exterior detail with a thorough cleaning of your wheels, tires, and fender areas to clear away buildup and restore a clean look.
Gentle Hand Wash
We use soft wash mitts and pH-balanced soap for a safe, swirl-free wash. This step removes dirt, pollen, and bugs without scratching the surface, giving your paint the care it deserves.
Clay Bar Treatment
Even after a wash, your paint can feel rough to the touch. A clay bar treatment removes bonded contaminants that washing alone can’t tackle. It leaves your paint buttery smooth and ready to accept protection.
Sealant Application
Next, we apply a professional-grade paint sealant. This adds gloss and creates a barrier against UV rays, rain, and road grime. It also makes future washes quicker and easier, since dirt doesn’t stick as easily.
Tire Dressing
Once the tires are dry, we apply a water-based dressing that restores a deep, rich look without the greasy residue. It won’t sling off when you drive, and it keeps the tires looking fresh.
Crystal-Clear Glass
All exterior glass and mirrors are polished to remove haze and fingerprints. The result is streak-free clarity that improves visibility and completes the detail.
Want a total refresh? Pair your exterior detail with one of our other services, such as light scratch removal, for a finish that feels brand new.

“Lavender Mobile Detailing is awesome! I bought a new (to me) car last winter and had been looking for an affordable and reliable detailing service. They were efficient, communicative, and my car looks better than it did when I bought it! Highly recommend for anyone in the area” - Moriah
“They did a good job of cleaning my car. I’m recommending them to friends and family. It looks like I don’t have kids! :) (if you have kids - you know about cars and Cheerios!). These people are going in my contact list for future cleaning needs.” - Matthew 0
“Would highly recommend. Cleaned my SUV in a very reasonable amount of time even getting the salt stains out of the carpet. I fully expected her to have to plug into our hose to use our water but the van is equipped with its own water tank. Love supporting a small business and will use again!” - Cindi H

Simple Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Exterior’s Shine
Getting an exterior detail makes a big difference, but keeping it looking sharp between appointments is just as important. Here are a few simple tips to help extend the life of your detail:
Wash Regularly with the Right Tools
Stick to a two-bucket wash method with soft microfiber mitts to avoid adding swirl marks. Skip the automatic car washes that drag brushes across your paint.
Use Quality Car Soap
Household soaps strip away protection and dry out your paint. Always use pH-balanced car shampoo to keep your sealant intact.
Dry with Microfiber Towels
Letting water air-dry leaves spots behind. Use clean, plush microfiber towels to gently dry the surface and maintain that glossy look.
Apply a Quick Detailer Spray
After a wash, a quick detailer spray boosts shine and adds a little more protection between full details. It’s an easy way to keep your paint looking slick.
Remove Contaminants Quickly
Don’t wait on bird droppings, bug splatter, or tree sap. These can etch into paint fast, so wiping them off safely as soon as possible saves you from permanent damage.
Schedule Regular Exterior Details
Even with great at-home care, your vehicle still needs professional attention to decontaminate the surface and refresh protection. Most drivers benefit from a detail every six months.

Exterior Detail FAQs
Do you come to me?
Yes, we’re fully mobile. Whether you’re at home, at work, or running a dealership lot, we bring everything needed to complete the detail.
How long does the protection last?
Our sealant typically lasts three to six months. Cars kept in garages will hold protection longer, while vehicles exposed to weather may need it reapplied sooner.
Will this remove scratches?
An exterior detail will clean and protect your paint, but it won’t fully remove scratches. For that, our light scratch removal service is the best option.
Do you work with dealerships or fleets?
Yes, we specialize in keeping dealership lots and fleet vehicles looking clean and ready for customers.
How often should I get an exterior detail?
Once or twice a year works for most drivers. If your car sees a lot of miles or lives outside, scheduling more often helps maintain the finish.
Do you bring your own water and power?
Yes, we’re completely self-contained. We arrive with water, power, and everything else required to finish the job.
