Auto Detailing · Exterior only, full depth
Exterior only, taken all the way. Chemical iron and tar decontamination, full clay-bar, a light 1-step machine paint correction, and a ceramic sealer over the top. Four to five hours at your home or office. One price, every vehicle size.
$3494–5 hours
One price, every vehicle size.
Platinum Exterior is $349 whether you drive a coupe or a Suburban. Severely neglected or oxidised paint and vehicles needing multi-stage correction are assessed first and quoted honestly — we will not machine-polish paint that needs a different conversation.
Mobile service across South Colorado Springs and the Broadmoor area — our units carry their own water and power. Online booking generally needs 24 hours’ notice; next-day and emergency service available by phone.
What’s included
This is the package for paint that has gone dull or lightly swirled from years of washing, when the interior does not need attention. Everything below is included at $349, at every vehicle size.
Lite correction vs. full correction — the honest difference: what is included here is a light 1-step machine polish inside a full exterior detail. It removes light swirls, haze and wash marring and it is real defect removal, not a filler. Our dedicated Paint Correction service is a different, deeper job sold by level — 1-Step, 2-Step and Advanced 3-Step — with far more time on the paint. Those three are genuinely different processes, not marketing tiers, and they are listed further down this page. If your swirling is moderate or worse, you want that service, and we will tell you so after we look at it.

Chemistry first, then mechanical, then machine, then protection. Skipping a stage does not save time — it just leaves contamination under whatever goes on top of it.
STEP 01 / CHEMICAL DECONTAMINATION
A thick foam pre-wash and two-bucket contact wash, then an iron fallout remover across paint and wheels — the stage that visibly bleeds as it dissolves embedded brake and rail dust. Tar and adhesive come off the rockers, arches and front end with dedicated solvent rather than being clayed off.
Removes: Iron fallout · tar · road film · brake dust
What to expect
We arrive in a self-contained unit with our own filtered water, power and lighting — including the inspection lighting that makes machine work honest. You get a walk-around before we start so we agree on the paint’s condition, and another under lights when we finish.
Property access and space rules vary by location, so confirm the address when you schedule.
Paint correction levels
“Paint correction” is not one thing. A single polishing pass and a three-pass compound-refine-jewel process remove different amounts of defect, take different amounts of time, and cost different money. We inspect your paint under direct light first and recommend the level that matches what we actually find — not the most expensive one by default.
Single-stage machine polish
From $399Starting price — confirmed after inspection
Compound pass plus a finishing polish
From $599Starting price — confirmed after inspection
Heavy compound, refining and finishing passes
From $899Starting price — confirmed after inspection
Not sure which level your paint needs? You do not have to guess — that is what the inspection is for.
Request a Quote See Paint CorrectionCorrection removes a measured amount of clear coat, so it is done when the paint needs it, not bundled into every package. Machine correction addresses swirls, wash marks and light-to-moderate scratching that sits in the clear coat — anything through it needs paint, not polish, and we will tell you that rather than sell you a pass that cannot fix it.
How it compares
The honest version: this is the exterior tier. If the cabin needs work too, a different package is the better buy.
Inside and out, with clay-bar decontamination and a 6-month sealant. Same idea as this package, with the interior added and the exterior taken a little less far.
Exterior only, taken further than Gold: chemical and clay-bar decontamination, a light 1-step machine correction and a ceramic sealer. The right call when the paint is what you care about and the interior is fine.
Best exterior-only value
All of this plus a single-stage correction, the engine bay and a full interior shampoo with hot-water extraction. Choose it when you want the whole car brought back in one visit.
Still deciding? Tell us what you drive and how it is stored. We will recommend the tier that actually fits, even when it is the cheaper one.

Add to your Platinum Exterior
Added to the same appointment if you want them. Decontaminated, machine-refined paint is also the ideal surface for a ceramic coating — ask us while we are there.
Want any of these added, or priced together with the detail? Ask and we will quote it up front.
Request a Quote Call ST6Military, first responder, senior, multi-vehicle and new-customer discounts are 10% each. Ceramic coating is quoted separately after paint assessment — a coating goes on corrected, decontaminated paint, and we will tell you honestly if yours needs correction first.
Straight answers
Four to five hours for most vehicles. Heavily contaminated or oxidised paint takes longer, and we will tell you the realistic window when you book rather than quote a time we cannot keep.
Yes. Platinum Exterior is $349 flat at every vehicle size. Larger vehicles take us longer — we price this one on the work, not the wheelbase.
No — and the difference is worth understanding. What is included here is a light 1-step machine polish as part of a full exterior detail: it lifts gloss and removes light swirls, haze and wash marring. Our dedicated Paint Correction service is a deeper, standalone job priced by level — 1-Step from $399, 2-Step from $599, Advanced 3-Step from $899 — with more time on the paint and heavier defect removal. If your swirling is moderate or worse, you want the dedicated service, and we will say so after looking at it.
Several months of real gloss and beading with normal driving and safe washing. Automatic brush tunnels, harsh chemicals and neglect shorten it. If you want multi-year protection, that is a Gtechniq ceramic coating — a different service with different prep.
The decontamination and machine refining are exactly the prep a coating needs, so the work is not wasted. Tell us at booking that a coating is the goal and we will assess the paint with that in mind rather than sealing over something that needs correcting first.
No. Platinum Exterior is exterior only, including door jambs and shuts. For the interior, Full Interior Detail is interior-only and Platinum Detail covers both ends of the car.
Yes. Our units are fully self-contained with their own water, power and lighting, so nothing is needed from your property. Machine work does need reasonable space and shade or cover, so confirm the address when you schedule.
