It takes the full removal of each wheel on an automobile to really get all the contamination eliminated from their surfaces, which is precisely what we at Platinum Plus Detailing does for what you drive.

Here is yet another effort to add a splash of color and character to the exterior of your automobile!

Safely Sanitizing and Decontaminating All Makes and Models

Do you put off cleaning the exterior of your vehicle throughout certain times of the year here in Costa Mesa, California? Does it stay covered with road grime or water spots for weeks, while you assume your ride will be just fine? You may assume that these contaminated surfaces are built to last, so are probably safe; however, these contaminants are actually leaving lasting effects that may devalue your vehicle and ultimately, your pride!


The clear coat on your automobile’s exterior is not like a Ceramic Pro Ceramic Coating in that it is not built to prevent stains permanently. Therefore, if your vehicle stays dirty from natural or human made contamination residue, there is a likely chance that it will be degraded or stained. While you may read this and rush to a public car wash, we at Platinum Plus Detailing implore you to consider our professional exterior vehicle detailing service instead.


Our exterior detailing package is much safer than your local public car wash found here in Costa Mesa, California, utilizing techniques like clay bar decontamination, safe two-bucket hand washes with microfiber wash mitts that prevent cross-contamination you would otherwise experience at a soft touch public car wash, and we even dress and provide a paint sealant to keep your surfaces clean a bit longer in-between details. With our IDA certification, our exterior detailing team provides an array of add-on services that complete a full exterior experience of perfection. Call us today!

Benefits of Exterior Auto Detailing at Platinum Plus Detailing

Preserves Your Paint Protection Packages

After having a Ceramic Pro Ceramic Coating or Clear Bra installed on your automobile, regular maintenance is always required to preserve its warranty or in general, to maintain its lustrous appearance and effectiveness. Exterior vehicle detailing services from our team here at Platinum Plus Detailing safely sanitize those newly protected surfaces.

Keeps Your Paint Clean Longer

Aside from preserving your ceramic coating or paint protection film, exterior auto detailing is more thorough than a public car wash and can actually last weeks longer, especially with an additional paint sealant or wax following the service. Plus, you have the added benefit of a professionally certified car care team paying attention to all exterior surfaces here at our Costa Mesa, California detailing shop.

Saves You Time and Money

Public car washes can cause damage to your paint, especially if they are soft touch facilities that brush fabric against your vehicle. These bristles collect contaminants from vehicles that have gone through the wash prior to you, then rubbing those messes on your finish. This will cost you long-term, and having to return to the car wash over and over again stacks up. Not only will you need to clean your vehicle less with our exterior detailing service, you will save money on future paint correction efforts.

INCREASE IN AESTHETIC EXTERIOR BEAUTY

With our two-bucket hand wash and clay bar decontamination combination, dirt, dust, and grime is lifted from your finish in more detailed fashion, revealing the true gloss of your paint, paint protection film, or ceramic coating. Store bought soaps and at-home methods do not always remove the heavy dust particles that latch to your exterior surfaces here in Costa Mesa, California as intricately as our detailing service does!

The Process We Provide for Exterior Detailing Appointments

Full Exterior Surface Inspection

Prior to all the steps involved in our Platinum Exterior Detailing service or any of the add-on packages available to you here at our Costa Mesa, California detailing shop, our team first explores all aspects of your exterior to make sure we understand all that it will require. Contamination that coats an automobile’s exterior is extensive and extremely tricky, so to give you an adequate price quote, we first explore all exterior surfaces.

Two-Bucket Hand Wash

A hand wash is required, but our two-bucket hand wash is no ordinary hose down or simple wipe of painted surfaces! We use safe washing solutions, microfiber wash mitts and towels, and a dedicated technique that clears all the messes collecting on your vehicle’s exterior with expert precision. This includes washing wheels, rims, paintwork, metal trim, carbon fiber pieces, and your glass areas.

Clay Bar Decontamination

Stopping at a hand wash would leave behind little to be desired. Here at Platinum Plus Detailing of Costa Mesa, California, our exterior detailers are trained in an effective clay bar paint and surface decontamination process, where we take a clay bar to your exterior surfaces to agitate all residual molecular contamination before lifting it fully from those areas. Following claying, you will enjoy a fully decontaminated automobile!
