Appearance care
Exterior wash, wheels, glass, and trim
Exterior work is grouped by area—wash, wheels, glass, trim, and finish—so you can see what belongs on your visit and what you care about most.
Exterior focus
What owners usually discuss
Most owners think in five buckets: wash, wheels, glass, trim, and finish. How much each area needs depends on road film, brake dust, and the look you want every day.
- Wash — painted body panels, matched to how the car is used and stored.
- Wheels — wheel faces and inner barrels, including brake dust buildup.
- Glass — windshields and side glass where streaks and haze show first.
- Trim — plastics, rubber, and bright metal trim as their own surfaces.
- Finish — optional gloss or protection when you want more depth than a clean wash.

Finish attention without hype
Gloss and protection are optional layers—spray sealants, wax, or a light enhancement after wash. Paint age, where you park, and how the car was cared for before all shape how deep the shine looks.
