An Exterior Detail to Do Once or Twice a Year
Getting your car’s exterior detailed once or twice a year makes a noticeable difference. It clears off the grime, brings out the gloss, and adds a protective layer against the outdoor elements. Whether it’s salty sea breeze, sun exposure, rain, or debris from the road, your car takes a beating out there. A proper wash and wax helps preserve the paint, keeping things slick and smooth.
Although it’s not as durable as a ceramic coating, it’s still a great way to upkeep your exterior. For even better results you can get paint correction done on your vehicle to remove the swirls and really make the paint shine.
What’s Included in The Wash and Wax
This isn’t just a quick rinse and dry. A wash and wax service at VIP Mobile Detail means a full exterior detail that cleanses the paint, smooths out the surface, and gives it a fresh layer of protection. Here’s what you get:
Wheel and Tire Cleaning
We start with a deep clean of the wheels, tires, and fender areas. This clears away stubborn brake dust, mud, and road grime that builds up fast in Galveston’s climate.
Gentle Hand Wash
This is a swirl-free hand wash. We use soft mitts and pH-balanced soap to help remove dirt, pollen, and bird droppings without swirling the paint.
Clay Bar Treatment
Even after a wash, the surface can still feel rough. That’s where the clay bar comes in. It pulls out stuck-on contaminants and leaves the paint feeling buttery smooth. It’s a must before sealing in protection.
Sealant Application
A high-quality paint sealant gets applied next. This will enhance the gloss and form a shield against the elements. It helps water bead right off and lasts for several months.
Tire Dressing
Once the tires are dry, we apply a water-based dressing that brings back the rich black look without the greasy feel or splatter when you drive off.
Crystal-Clear Glass
All exterior glass and mirrors get a thorough cleaning to remove the haze and fingerprints, leaving a streak-free finish.
If you want to hit reset on the inside and out, combine this with an Interior Detail. You’ll have a full refresh that’ll make your car feel brand new.

Wash and Wax FAQs
Do you come to me?
Absolutely. VIP Mobile Detail is a mobile service, which means we bring everything we need right to your driveway or parking lot. If needed, you can also drop off your vehicle at our home-garage and we can service it there.
How long does the protection last?
Sealant protection typically lasts three to six months. Cars that stay garaged will hold onto it longer, while vehicles exposed to the sun and weather might need it reapplied sooner. Using harsh soaps or automatic brushes can also wear it down faster.
Will this remove scratches?
A wash and wax can help reduce the appearance of very minor light swirls, but it won’t hide them in a meaningful way. For that, paint correction is the go-to. Really deep ones might even need wet sanding or a touch-up to fully fix.
