Exterior cleaning

From a thorough hand wash to a full polish with paint protection. No carwash, no rotating brushes — only craftsmanship that protects your paint and makes it shine.

Why no carwash

A carwash looks fast and cheap, but every brush or cloth that touches your paint after another vehicle drags fine sandpaper with it — literally, in the form of grit and metal particles. Those are the “swirls” and spider-webs you see under direct light. A professional hand wash with the two-bucket method, pH-neutral shampoo and microfibre mitts prevents that damage entirely.

What we do

Every exterior package starts with a pre-wash (snow foam) to rinse off loose dirt before microfibre touches the surface. Then a thorough hand wash, with rims and wheel arches handled separately, and drying with soft microfibre towels. Tyres and plastics are dressed and protected, windows finished streak-free, and the paint gets at least a one-step polish with detail spray for an immediate gloss.

At Premium we add a clay bar treatment and a two-step polish — that removes wash marks, swirls and holograms. Deluxe brings our most complete paint correction: an intensive three-step procedure that also addresses deeper scratches.

What makes the difference

• Two-bucket method: one bucket for clean shampoo, one for rinsing — dirt never goes back on the paint.
• Independent products per zone: wheels, plastic, paint and glass each need their own pH balance.
• Drying without rubbing: a blower or plush microfibre prevents drying scratches.
• Final inspection under LED: we see what the sun would reveal.

Who it’s for

• Cars that live outside and pick up bird droppings, tree sap and bug splatter.
• Lease or company cars before handover or a PR shoot.
• Cars going up for sale — polished paint measurably increases visual resale value.
• Owners of black or dark paint where swirls show most.

How long does it take?

Basic exterior takes 2 to 3 hours. Premium 4 to 5 hours. Deluxe is a full day — a three-step paint correction can’t be rushed without sacrificing quality.

What does it cost?

Pricing starts at €154 for Basic. The final price depends on your car’s size and the paint condition — neglected or heavily marked paint takes more time. Combine interior and exterior and save €30. The full overview is on the pricing page.
