Paint and finish · Wilmington, NC
Exterior Detailing
A careful hand wash and finish for paint, glass, wheels and trim — the clean that makes a car look considered again.
Cars that are mechanically clean but have lost their finish to Wilmington sun, salt air and pollen.

What's included
Inside the exterior detailing.
- Hand wash of paint, glass and wheels
- Wheels and wheel arches cleaned
- Bug and road-film removal from the front end and mirrors
- Hand-applied protection on the paint
- Exterior glass, trim and door jambs finished
What shapes the quote
Nothing is priced from a menu.
- Paint condition
- Swirls, tar, sap and road film take more time than light dust.
- Vehicle size
- Height, roof area and wheel design all affect the hand work.
- Season
- Pollen, salt air and summer sun change what the finish needs.
- Access
- Shade and a water source help; tell us what's available where the car sits.

The finish
A clean surface reads light differently.
The last step is where a wash becomes a detail: the finish, the glass and the trim.

Honest limits
What this service is not.
Clear boundaries make a better appointment than an over-promise.
- This is detailing, not paint correction: scratches, swirl removal and machine polishing are separate work.
- Long-life ceramic coatings and paint protection film are not part of this service.
If something isn’t clear, ask before the appointment — Airlie will tell you whether it’s part of this service.
