D&J Detailing’s exterior basic clean is a focused mobile wash for drivers who want a professionally cleaned vehicle without a full correction or coating process. The package handles routine road film, wheels, tires, exterior glass, and finishes with spray wax for added gloss and short-term protection.
Kansas City vehicles see hot sun, winter road treatment, rain, dust, insects, highway grime, mud, and mineral-rich water. Heavy mud and water spots can require extra time and may increase the final quote.
What is included
- Thorough exterior wash and dry
- Tire and wheel cleaning
- Exterior glass cleaning
- Spray-wax finish
The exterior-clean process
D&J first checks the paint, wheels, and known problem areas. The vehicle is washed and dried, the wheels and tires are cleaned, and spray wax is applied as the finishing step.
Every detailing appointment has a two-hour minimum. Oversized vehicles, heavy mud, water spots, and add-on work can extend the appointment. If scratches, oxidation, or visible swirl marks are the main concern, paint correction may be a better match than cleaning and protection alone.

Exterior detailing FAQ
Will an exterior detail remove scratches?
A professional basic clean can make the finish look better, but scratches and swirl marks require some level of paint correction. D&J can recommend the right next step after inspecting the paint.
How long does spray wax last?
Spray wax provides short-term gloss and protection. Durability varies with weather, mileage, storage, and wash habits. For longer hydrophobic protection, compare the ceramic-spray and ceramic-coating packages.
