MUCH MORE THAN A WASH! THE ART OF DETAIL
HIGH-END EXTERIOR DETAILING IN CECIL COUNTY, MD
PROPER CLEANING IS KEY
Consider the following before skipping external detailing. Exterior detailing can help protect the exterior of your vehicle. The outside of an vehicle is particularly fragile since it is continually exposed to harsh weather and environmental variables. Dust, filth, salt, tar, sap, dead bugs, and bird droppings are just a few of the things that can harm the exterior of your vehicle over time. Proper steps when detailing the exterior removes these risks, preventing them from causing wear and tear on your car’s paint or finish. This protection not only keeps your vehicle appearing smooth and shining for a longer period of time, but it also increases the life of your investment!
BENEFITS OF PROPER EXTERIOR DETAILING
PROTECTS YOUR EXPENSIVE INVESTMENT
Exterior surface protection is the goal of exterior detailing, not merely aesthetics. Detailing professionals remove harsh exterior impurities that adhere to your vehicle while you drive, allowing your vehicle's outside to look newer for longer. A complete exterior cleaning not only enhances the attractiveness of your vehicle, but it also extends its life.
ACHIEVES OPTIMUM APPEARANCE
Detailed external surfaces have a gloss that improves look, providing a beautiful brilliance from every aspect. Your car will turn heads wherever you go!
RESALE VALUE
Exterior finishing is important for more than simply protection and appearance. When you decide to trade in your automobile or sell it yourself, interior and exterior detailing will help it sell faster.
ENHANCES SAFETY
Salt and other road chemicals can accumulate on exterior surfaces, including the outside of your car's tires! Getting rid of these outside pollutants improves grip and traction, which increases safety. Similarly, external pollutants such as bird droppings, sap, and bugs can obscure your car's windshield. Keeping your windshield clear and unobstructed by removing outside surface pollutants improves your safety.

WHAT IS INCLUDED IN A EXTERIOR DETAIL?
Because exterior detailing encompasses more than just washing, it can be difficult to comprehend what it comprises. Because we think that perfection is in the details at Hubbard’s Auto Detailing, you can rest assured that we take exterior detailing seriously! We detail the exterior by hand, which is a time consuming process that entails more than just cleaning your vehicle.
First and foremost, exterior detailing includes the act of hand washing your vehicle’s exterior to remove any dirt or debris that has accumulated on the surface over time. We use a safe, delicate process to ensure we are not marring, or worsening the painted surface.
Once exterior dirt has been removed, usually with the help of a two bucket hand washing system, exterior detailing also includes the act of decontaminating your vehicle’s exterior. Decontamination is done using clay bar, a specialized compound that removes exterior contamination from the exterior paintwork while also removing minor surface imperfections.
After exterior decontamination, exterior detailing includes a quick exterior wipe-down to remove water and dry it completly.
After exterior dirt and imperfections have been removed, exterior detailing also includes the application of tire dressings to make tires shine like new again without attracting dust or causing sling off on wheels.
Finally, exterior detailing is wrapped up with exterior protection. At Hubbard’s Auto Detailing, we apply System X ceramic paint sealant which provides a protective barrier that prevents exterior contaminants from adhering to exterior paint for 6 months
