What is Classic Exterior?
Classic Exterior is our focused outside-only package for folks who keep their interior clean but need help with the paint and wheels. We start with a 5-spot polish on problem areas like the hood, roof, and trunk where sun damage and scratches show up most. Then we do a proper hand wash which is way gentler than those automatic car washes with the spinning brushes. We clean out your wheel wells where mud and brake dust builds up, detail your rims and tires till they shine, clean all windows and mirrors, and finish with wax protection that lasts about 3 months. Takes about 2 hours and your car will look way better. This is perfect if you just need the outside done and your interior is already good.

This package is great for people who vacuum their own car regularly but don't have time or equipment to properly wash and wax it. Maybe you got leather seats that are easy to wipe down, or you just did an interior detail recently and only need outside work. Commuters who park in dusty lots or under trees really benefit from this. Also good for people preparing to sell who already cleaned inside but need the exterior to shine. If your paint is looking dull or you got brake dust caked on your wheels, this package will fix that. People with newer cars that don't have interior issues yet but need paint protection love this one.
Why Channel Islands cars need this
Channel Islands marina environment is one of the harshest on vehicles. Heavy salt spray from the harbor causes accelerated corrosion on paint, metal trim, and undercarriages. Boat trailers bring additional salt and grime that needs professional cleaning. The constant ocean moisture creates perfect conditions for rust and mold. Seabird droppings are highly acidic and etch into paint permanently if not removed quickly. Vehicles parked near the marina need protection way more often than inland cars. The salt gets into every crack and crevice, causing damage that's expensive to fix if not prevented.
Marina workers with salt spray coating their vehicles daily. Boat owners whose trucks and trailers show heavy corrosion. Harbor residents dealing with constant moisture and salt damage. Fishermen whose work trucks face brutal ocean exposure.
How often should you do this?
We recommend doing Classic Exterior every 2-3 months if you park outside. The wax protection lasts about 3 months, so timing it before the wax fully wears off keeps your paint continuously protected. If you garage your car you could stretch it to every 4 months. Some folks do it seasonally - before summer and before winter are popular times. If you live near the coast, every 2 months is better cause salt air is rough on paint and wax.

Do you touch the interior at all?
Nope, this is outside only. We wash exterior windows but don't do anything inside the car. If you need interior work, check out our Classic Interior or combo packages like Full Refresh.
What's the 5-spot polish?
We polish five key areas that get the most sun damage and show scratches worst - usually hood, roof, trunk, and two fenders. It removes light scratches and oxidation to restore shine. Not a full paint correction but makes a big difference.
How long does this package take?
About 2 hours for most vehicles. Bigger trucks or really dirty cars might take 2.5 hours, but we can knock out most sedans and SUVs in 2 hours.
Can I add clay bar treatment?
Yep, you can upgrade to include clay bar which removes bonded contaminants. Or check out our Wax & Buff package which already includes clay bar treatment.
Will the wax protect against scratches?
Wax protects against UV damage, water spots, and contaminants, but it won't prevent scratches from physical contact. It does make your paint slicker so dust is less likely to cause scratches when you wipe it off though.
