CLEANWORX AUTO DETAILING EXTERIOR DETAILING

At CleanWorx Auto Detailing in Basking Ridge, NJ, our Full Exterior Detailing service is designed to give your vehicle a spectacular, showroom-quality finish. If you’re searching for “exterior detailing near me” or “auto detailing Basking Ridge NJ,” this is the comprehensive service that truly restores and protects the outside of your car. Every element of the exterior is treated with precision—from paint, trim, windows, wheels, tires, mirrors, lights, and even door jambs—so your car doesn’t just look clean; it looks revitalized.

We begin the Full Exterior Detailing process with a pre-wash rinse and inspection. Here at CleanWorx, we carefully examine the paint surface and other exterior components to identify contaminants like bird droppings, sap, tar, bugs, road grime, and any oxidation. This inspection informs the next steps and ensures that the work we do is tailored to the condition of your vehicle’s exterior. Proper prep is essential to avoid introducing scratches or swirl marks during cleaning.

Next comes the hand wash using the two-bucket method and high-quality, pH-balanced automotive shampoos. CleanWorx uses microfiber mitts and soft wash tools to gently lift dirt without scratching the clear coat. The wheels, wheel wells, tires, moldings, and trim all receive dedicated attention with specialized cleaners to remove brake dust, grime, and buildup. All exterior windows are cleaned—both inside and out—to ensure streak-free clarity and full visibility.

After washing, we perform paint surface decontamination, using tools like clay bars or clay mitts, iron removers, and tar removers. These remove embedded contaminants that regular washing can’t eliminate—pollutants that, over time, degrade the paint, cause dullness, and accelerate oxidation. By decontaminating the surface, CleanWorx ensures that what follows (polish, wax, or sealant) adheres properly and delivers maximum gloss and longevity.

The polishing or light correction stage is where your car’s finish really begins to pop. If there are light swirls, minor scratches, or hazing, our technicians use single-stage polish or light compounds with dual-action polishers to restore clarity and shine. At CleanWorx, we aim to balance correction with preservation—removing imperfections without over-polishing or damaging the clear coat.

Once the paint is decontaminated and polished, we apply a protective layer. This could be a premium wax, a paint sealant, or a ceramic coating depending on your preferences and budget. For NJ’s seasonal weather—and things like UV exposure, snow, road salt—having strong protection is essential. CleanWorx offers coatings that repel water, resist staining, and maintain that gleam through New Jersey’s changing climate.

Other exterior components are not neglected. Trim, bumpers, plastic moldings, and rubber seals are dressed and conditioned to prevent fading and cracking. Chrome, metal accents, exhaust tips, and emblems are carefully polished. CleanWorx also pays attention to smaller areas like door jambs, gas cap door, hood edges, and mirror housings to ensure an all-around clean appearance—these are the details many other detailers skip but which make a big difference.

We use high-quality, industry-leading products and equipment at CleanWorx. From premium microfiber towels to chemical formulations suited to delicate clear coat, our tools are selected for performance and safety. Our staff is trained in the latest techniques for wash, polish, protection, and finish—so your car is treated with expertise, not just cleaned for appearance.
