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.
