Exterior Detailing

Auto Detailing is much more than a car wash!

Car Wash

A traditional car wash blasts your vehicle's paint with harsh products and chemicals that actually harm your paint long term! Only in DETAILING can we take a dirty vehicle and restore it's beautiful shine and do it safely, keeping your paint unharmed. Truth is... Willimantic, CT faces crazy weather that our vehicles are subjected to everyday of the year. J.A.E.L.A.H.'S Auto Detailing is here to keep your vehicle at it's best despite the weather. 

Paint Decontamination

In order to truly detail your vehicle's paint... car washing isn't enough. If you run your palm across your car after it's been dried after a car wash, it may feel gritty. This "grit" is embedded dirt in your paint! Yuck! After the car wash stage, it is necessary to use specific detailing tools and products to clean the paint of everything that won't come off during the wash process. If you don't, it's like a cavity that doesn't get filled... there will be serious consequences down the road. 

Paint Protection

Finally, the paint is protected with a long term durable coating to ensure that the paint is protected for months or even years, depending on the protection applied. Your vehicle is a huge investment, don't drive it unprotected!

Exterior Detailing Includes:

• Hand wash and dry  

• Clay exterior surfaces for a smooth finish (Decontamination)

      After vehicle is washed, there is often times embedded dirt in the clear coat of the paint. This process removes that embedded dirt. While you may not notice the embedded dirt normally, you'll most likely see the difference after the vehicle is decontaminated.

• Apply wax/sealant for shine and protection

     Wax/sealant is standard with exterior detail. Ceramic Coating protection is an extra service.

• Clean wheels, tires, fenders, gas cap

• Wipe down door jambs

• Clean exterior glass and windows

• Dress tires and fenders

• Dress exterior trim (if necessary)
