What's Included in an Exterior Detail?
Exterior car detailing is the hand-washing, decontamination, and surface protection of a vehicle's paint, wheels, glass, and trim — going well beyond an automated car wash to remove bonded contaminants and restore shine. Unlike a drive-through wash, every step is done by hand, and every visit happens wherever your car is parked.
The Adams Package — Exterior Detailing includes:
- Pre-wash (loosens dirt and debris before contact)
- Hand wash (full exterior, hand-applied)
- Wheels and tires cleaned
- Exterior windows cleaned
Pre-wash, hand wash, wheels & tires, exterior glass — priced by vehicle size.

Does Georgia's Pollen Season Change How Often You Should Detail?
Yes. Every spring, Georgia's pine pollen season blankets cars in a thick yellow-green film — and that film is acidic enough to etch clear coat if it sits for weeks without being washed off. Cumming and the rest of the GA-400 corridor see some of the heaviest pollen counts in the state during peak season. During pollen season, a pre-wash and hand wash every 2–3 weeks, paired with a Spray Sealant ($15) or Machine Wax ($50), keeps pollen from bonding to your paint instead of just sitting on top of it. Paint Decontamination ($60) is worth adding if pollen or tree sap has already had time to bond.
