01
What Does an Exterior Detail Include?
An exterior detail cleans and protects everything on the outside of the car, from the paint to the wheels, in one visit at your address. The work is done by hand and by machine, in a set order, so that dirt is never dragged across clean paint.
Wheels and Tires
Rims and tires are cleaned and dressed, and brake dust is washed from the wheels.
Wheel Wells and Undercarriage
Wheel wells are cleaned, and an undercarriage wash clears the salt and mud that settle underneath.
Jambs and Windows
Door and trunk jambs are cleaned, and the windows and mirrors are left clear.
Engine Bay
Engine bay cleaning and dressing is part of the showroom detail, Fresh Off The Lot.
Spray Wax and Sealant
A spray wax and sealant finish adds shine and protection once the paint is clean.
The outside of the car also gets bug, tar and iron removal, as the next section explains. Every part of the car is checked with you at the end, so you see the finished result before you pay.
02
How Do You Remove Bugs, Tar, Sap and Salt From Paint?
Yes, EvaFresh Auto Spa removes bugs, tar, tree sap, bird droppings and iron fallout from paint as part of exterior detailing.
Bug, tar and iron removal Tree sap removal Bird droppings Clay bar treatment Road salt
Bugs and tar build up on the front of the car on highway drives, and tree sap lands on cars parked under trees. Bird droppings are acidic, so they are best removed soon.
The sooner these are removed, the less they mark the paint, because sap hardens and bird droppings etch the clear coat. Road salt is washed from the paint, the wheel wells and the underside of the car.
Iron fallout, sometimes called rail dust, shows as small orange specks on the paint. Clay bar treatment lifts bonded dirt from the paint and leaves it smooth, and we offer it on its own, without a full paint correction.
03
How Long Do Wax and Sealant Last?
Spray wax and sealant add protection and shine after the wash, but we do not give a figure for how long they last, because it depends on the car, the weather and how often it is washed.
When you want protection that lasts longer, a ceramic coating fits better, and when the paint has scratches or swirl marks, paint correction comes first.
Scratches and swirls: paint correction
Lasting protection: ceramic coating
Swirl marks show up as fine circles in direct sun, and oxidation leaves paint dull and chalky. Neither is fixed by wax, so we tell you which job fits your car before any work starts. Water beading, the way water balls up on protected paint, comes from a coating rather than from wax.
04
How Is an Exterior Detail Priced?
Exterior detailing is priced by quote, because the work depends on the vehicle and its condition. The size of the car, how much sap, tar or salt is on it, and what you want done all change the figure. There is no fixed exterior-only price, and we do not sell a wash on its own.
The same exterior work comes as exterior work inside the three packages, the full details, which have published prices. Choosing a package is the better value when the inside of the car needs cleaning too.
Package Exterior work From, plus HST
Super Fresh Wash, wheels, jambs $130
Fresh N New Foam wash, wax, sealant $250
Fresh Off The Lot Bug, tar, iron, engine bay $320
Ask for a free estimate with the make, model and a photo, and we reply the same day. You pay when the job is finished and checked, by cash, e-transfer, Visa, Mastercard or debit.
05
Why Choose an Exterior Detail Over a Car Wash?
A car wash removes surface dirt, while an exterior detail also treats what a wash leaves behind. Bonded dirt, sap, tar and iron specks need clay bar treatment and removal, wheel wells need cleaning, and paint needs protection afterwards.
That is why we do not sell a wash on its own. Read more in our guide to car wash and car detailing.
06
How Does an Exterior Detail Visit Work?
The van comes to your driveway, office lot or condo garage with its own water and power. Read how our mobile service works.
01 Ask for an estimate with a photo of the car.
02 We confirm the price and a time.
03 We detail the outside and check it with you.
Same-day and weekend slots are available when the calendar allows, from 7 am to 9 pm.
07
What Can an Exterior Detail Not Do?
An exterior detail cleans and protects paint, but it has limits, so here is what to expect from EvaFresh Auto Spa.
It does not remove scratches or swirl marks.
It is not a rust treatment.
It is not a quick wash on its own.
Deep scratches need paint correction, and rust needs a body shop. Tell us what worries you and we will say what the detail can do.
08
When Should You Book an Exterior Detail?
An exterior detail suits a car whose paint has taken more than a wash can fix.
After a winter of road salt After a summer of bugs on the highway Under trees that drop sap Before selling a car After a long road trip When the paint feels rough to the touch
If the inside needs work too, compare the full detail packages and prices.
Jay, the owner of EvaFresh Auto Spa, quotes and does exterior work with 5+ years in mobile detailing behind him.
In the owner's own words: "Our exterior detailing service goes beyond a regular car wash by thoroughly cleaning your vehicle's exterior, removing dirt and road grime, and restoring its natural shine." (Jay, owner of EvaFresh Auto Spa)

Questions About Exterior Detailing
How do I remove tree sap from my car?
EvaFresh Auto Spa removes tree sap from car paint as part of exterior detailing, so do not scrub it at home, because that can mark the paint.
Do you remove bugs and tar?
Yes, EvaFresh Auto Spa includes bug, tar and iron removal in exterior detailing, and in the Fresh Off The Lot package.
What is iron fallout, or rail dust, on paint?
Iron fallout, or rail dust, is tiny iron particles that settle on paint and show as orange specks, and EvaFresh Auto Spa removes it as part of bug, tar and iron removal.
Can you remove brake dust from wheels?
Yes, EvaFresh Auto Spa cleans rims and tires and washes brake dust from the wheels in an exterior detail.
Is road salt bad for my car?
Road salt dries on paint, wheel wells and the underside of the car, so EvaFresh Auto Spa washes it off with a wheel-well clean and an undercarriage wash.
Do you detail the outside of trucks, RVs and boats?
Yes, EvaFresh Auto Spa details trucks, RVs and boats, each with its own page and prices. See truck and fleet detailing, RV detailing and boat detailing.
