Why detail your car

Beyond the Wash.

A drive-through wash moves dirt around. A real detail removes it. We use safe hand-wash methods, steam, and decontamination to lift what builds up over time, from embedded brake dust on the outside to bacteria and odors on the inside. The result is a vehicle that looks, feels, and smells like new, and paint that stays healthier longer.

Exterior Packages

Paint, glass & wheels · 3 levels

Standard Exterior Detail

Your paint deserves better than a quick rinse. Our Standard Exterior Detail is a proper hand wash that clears away dirt and road grime the safe way, with no swirls, no scratches, and no shortcuts. Just a clean, sharp finish every time.

The easy way to keep your car looking sharp between bigger details.

*Pricing depends on your vehicle’s condition.

Premium Exterior Detail

Some dirt doesn’t wash off. It bonds to your paint. Our Premium Exterior Detail goes far beyond a basic wash, pulling out the embedded brake dust, tar, and contaminants a normal wash leaves behind, then sealing your paint with a 6-month ceramic coating for lasting gloss and effortless washing.

*Pricing depends on your vehicle’s condition.

Elite Exterior Detail

Our top exterior package. A paint enhancement polish brings back the shine, and an XTREME SEAL G-Pro Coating locks it in for 6 to 12 months while making every wash easier.

*Pricing depends on your vehicle’s condition.

I have had three of our cars in to Detail Tech for various detailing jobs and I have always come away impressed! These guys are great at applying protective vinyl, top notch at detailing paint and bright work, and are always consistent. I’ve enjoyed the relationship I’ve had with them over these past few months and our cars never looked better! I would highly recommend Detail Tech based on the quality of materials they use, their skills, and their consistency.

Got my Subaru wrapped by Detail Tech and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Car looks great. Both Kevin and Dan were a major help with choosing the color and brand of vinyl. Service was fast and reasonably priced. I definitely recommend Detail Tech for vinyl wrapping and detailing.

Kevin patiently, thoroughly, and clearly reviewed the protection options for our new vehicle in a no pressure manner. We opted for full vehicle application of PPF followed by ceramic coating and an interior protection application. Our specific requests, including a delayed pick up, were accommodated. When we picked up the vehicle yesterday, it looked amazing! We are extremely happy with our decision and definitely feel it was money well spent. Additionally, it was nice to deal with a business that kept us updated, followed through on everything they said, and we didn’t need to have anything redone.
