Full Exterior Detail: Wash, Clay, Polish & Wax (10-Step Service)

For vehicles with light contamination, dullness, or swirl marks that need surface correction and gloss restoration.
This service is ideal for regularly driven vehicles that need more than a wash, removing bonded contaminants, correcting surface haze, and protecting with a machine-applied wax finish. We also include a full basic interior clean to ensure the entire vehicle is refreshed, inside and out.

Step 1: We begin with a full exterior rinse using Griot’s Garage Foaming Surface Wash applied through a foam cannon. The soap is allowed to dwell and soften grime before any contact is made.

Step 2: We agitate the surface by hand using soft microfiber wash mitts and Griot’s Garage Brilliant Finish Car Wash in a two-bucket system, cleaning from the roof down. Wheels and wheel wells are cleaned using Griot’s Heavy Duty Wheel Cleaner. We scrub wheel faces with the Griot’s Garage Microfiber Wheel Wash Mitts, reach into barrels with the Griot’s Garage Microfiber Wheel Wand & EZ Detail Wands, and clean inner fender liners using the Griot’s Garage Long EZ Detail Wand. The vehicle is then rinsed and hand-dried using microfiber drying towels.

Step 3: We perform a full-body decontamination using the Griot’s Garage Fine Surface Prep Mitt lubricated with Brilliant Finish Car Wash. This removes bonded contaminants such as overspray, industrial fallout, or hard water deposits. Once complete, the entire vehicle is rinsed thoroughly to remove loosened debris and soap residue.

Step 4: Once the surface is decontaminated and fully dried, we machine polish the paint using Griot’s Garage Correcting Cream and an Orange BOSS Correcting Pad on a Griot’s Garage Random Orbital Polisher. This removes minor swirls, oxidation, and haze.

Step 5: We refine the paint using Griot’s Garage Perfecting Cream on a Yellow BOSS Perfecting Pad to enhance clarity and gloss.

Step 6: We apply Griot’s Garage 3-in-1 Ceramic Wax using a Red Wax Pad for long-lasting, slick protection. Once hazed, the wax is buffed off using microfiber towels.

Step 7: We clean all exterior glass using Griot’s Garage Ultra-Premium Glass Cleaner for a streak-free finish.

Step 8: Tires are dressed using Griot’s Garage Black Shine Tire Spray to complete the vehicle’s exterior presentation.

Step 9: Inside the vehicle, we remove all floor mats and vacuum them thoroughly. Rubber mats are scrubbed with Griot’s Garage Interior Cleaner and a soft brush, then wiped clean. Carpet mats are vacuumed. We also vacuum all carpeted areas, seats, and compartments, including under the seats and between seams.

Step 10: All dash, console, door panels, and trim are wiped down using Griot’s Garage Interior Cleaner and microfiber towels, removing dust, fingerprints, and light grime. Interior windows are cleaned using Griot’s Garage Ultra-Premium Glass Cleaner to complete the service.
