Exterior Car Detailing in Manhattan Beach

A car wash rinses the surface. The $150 Classic Exterior Bath decontaminates the paint, cleans inside the wheel wells and barrels, wipes the trim and jambs, and finishes with a spray-on wax. The $240 Master Exterior Bath adds deep wheel cleaning and shine plus bug & tar removal. It protects, not just cleans.

Light to moderate water spots, yes — water spot removal is a $50 add-on. Etched spots, swirl marks, and oxidation need a clay bar ($180) or a one-step polish ($199). Two-step polish for deeper defects is $299. We'll look at your paint and tell you which it actually needs.

Salt air off the South Bay coast pulls protection off clear coat fast. Every 4 to 6 weeks keeps the seal intact. Pair it with a 6-month ceramic coating ($195 add-on) and you stretch that out a lot.

We watch the forecast and text you the night before if rain is coming. Light coastal mist is fine because we work under your garage, carport, or any covered spot. Heavy rain gets a free reschedule to the next clear day.

No. The truck carries a 50-gallon water tank and a generator. We detail anywhere with curb access: driveway, street, office lot, or marina. You don't have to be home as long as the car is unlocked or you leave a key.

Yes. Listed prices are for standard cars. A compact pickup or SUV adds $40. A 3rd-row SUV, van, or XL truck adds $65. That covers the extra time and product, nothing hidden.

Booking takes a small deposit to lock the slot. The balance — cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card — is due after the detail's finished and you've looked the car over. First-time clients get 20% off — just mention it when you book.

We can usually fit a 90266 job within a few days, and same-week is common. Booking is a quick text or call to Patrick, you give the address and what you want done, and we lock in a time and sort any Sand Section permit parking before we show up.

No. As long as we can reach the car and have a curbside or apron spot, you can leave for work or stay inside. The truck carries its own water and quiet generator, so we don't need your hose or outlet, and we'll text you when it's finished.

Yes, especially Strand-side. The marine layer and salt spray off the Pier etch unprotected paint over time. A ceramic coating gives the clear coat a hard shield so morning moisture and salt film rinse off clean instead of baking in, which matters most on dark cars and daily drivers.
