Exterior Detailing and Protectant

Foam bath, hand wash, tires and rims detailed, ceramic sealant every visit — $120 flat, any vehicle

Overview

Exterior Detailing and Protectant is the most approachable way into Morello's, and the appointment most cars need most often. Same hands, same pH-neutral chemistry and the same mobile concierge service our coating clients receive — scoped to a professional wash, wheels and tyres, and a ceramic sealant rather than correction or coating work. One flat price for every vehicle size, whether that is a daily driver or a weekend car.

What's included

  • Professional foam bath, then a professional hand wash and detail
  • Detailed cleaning of tires and rims, with bug splatter eliminated
  • Tire shine applied to tire facings
  • Vehicle hand dried and windows cleaned
  • Ceramic sealant applied to the paint for glossiness and protection
  • Hydrophobic properties, so the paint stays cleaner for longer
  • Includes 6–9 months of paint protection — enhanced gloss and UV protection
  • Add-ons available: High Temperature Steam Cleaning, Enzyme Elimination

Process

How the work is carried out

  1. 01

    Arrive

    We come to your driveway or garage with our own power, filtered water and lighting.

  2. 02

    Wash

    Touchless pre-rinse, then a careful two-bucket hand wash with rims and tyres detailed by hand.

  3. 03

    Interior

    Vacuum, wipe-down and glass, with everything returned exactly as you left it.

  4. 04

    Finish

    Plush-towel dry, ceramic sealant laid down over the paint, tyres and trim dressed, then we walk the car with you.

Questions

Frequently asked

How does Exterior Detailing differ from the protection packages?
It is maintenance-level care: professional hand wash, rims and tyres, interior and glass, finished with a ceramic sealant on every visit. It does not include machine polishing or a multi-year ceramic coating — those are separate programmes.
Is the standard of work different?
No. The chemistry, media and technicians are the same as on any other appointment; only the scope of work is smaller.
How often should I book it?
Every two to four weeks keeps Austin dust, pollen and hard-water spotting from ever becoming a correction job.
