Keep Your Vehicle Looking Sharp
Detailing isn’t only about making your ride look good, it’s also about preserving value and protecting against weather damage. At All-Star Mobile Auto Detailing, we recommend an exterior detail at least once or twice a year to keep your paint healthy. Boston weather can be unpredictable with hot summers, road salt in the winter, rain, tree sap, and everyday grime all take a toll on your vehicle. If you don't stay on top of it, that road salt from a New England winter can lead to corrosion, and the baking sun in July can cause your clear coat to fade or peel.
A professional exterior detail clears away road buildup, enhances gloss, and lays down a protective layer that keeps your paint looking fresh longer. It won’t last as long as a ceramic coating, but it’s a smart way to maintain your finish throughout the year. If you want a more thorough paint transformation, you can go with a paint correction service. This removes the swirls and brings back the gloss and clarity in your paint by leveling out the clear coat.
What’s Included in the Wash and Wax
This isn’t just a quick wash and spray. It’s a thorough exterior treatment designed to dial in shine, smoothness, and lasting protection. We take a methodical approach to ensure every inch of the exterior is addressed.
Wheel and Tire Cleaning: We begin by cleaning the wheels, tires, and fenders. These areas collect brake dust, road grime, and buildup that need extra attention. Brake dust is actually quite corrosive if it sits for too long, as it’s made of tiny metal shards that can eat into your wheel's finish.
Swirl-Free Hand Wash: Next, your vehicle gets a safe hand wash with soft mitts and pH-balanced soap. We don't use the "one bucket" method that many gas station car washes use, which often traps dirt in the brushes and creates those ugly spiderweb scratches in your paint. Our process removes dirt, pollen, bugs, and contaminants without scratching the finish.
Clay Bar Treatment: Even after a wash, stubborn contaminants can remain on the paint. If you run your hand across your paint and it feels like sandpaper, that’s embedded grit that a wash can't remove. The clay bar treatment removes these embedded particles, leaving your paint smooth and ready for protection.
Apply Quality Wax: Once the surface is clean, a high-quality wax is applied. This adds depth to the shine, helps repel water, dust, and sunlight, and offers protection for months. You’ll notice that water beads up and rolls right off the car the next time it rains.
Streak-Free Glass: The detail wraps up with streak-free exterior glass and mirrors for clear visibility and a complete finish. We make sure there’s no oily residue or smudges left behind.
Want to take things a step further? Combine this service with our Interior Detail for a total vehicle refresh, inside and out. It’s the best way to make your car feel brand new again.

Wash and Wax FAQs
How long does the wax last?
Our wax usually lasts for three to four months. Vehicles kept in a garage may hold results even longer since it’s not getting beaten up everyday by the weather. For daily drivers in direct sun or those parked under trees, the protection will degrade faster.
Will this remove scratches?
A wash and wax won’t remove deep scratches or heavy swirl marks. It can improve the look of very light imperfections because the wax fills in tiny micro-gaps, but true scratch removal is achieved with paint correction. If you’re looking for that perfectly smooth, scratch-free look, ask us about our polishing packages.
Do I need to be there for the appointment?
Not necessarily! As long as we have access to the vehicle and a way to get the keys, you can go about your day. Many of our clients are at work or running errands while we perform the detail. We’ll send you a text when we’re finished so you can come out and see the results.
