If you’re rolling through West Valley, Utah, chances are your vehicle’s exterior is under constant attack. Sun, salt, dust, and sprinklers don’t care how nice your paint job is—they’ll still leave it looking tired, scratched, and flat.
You’ve probably used a drive-thru wash now and then. Quick. Cheap. Easy.
But also? Terrible for your paint.
Here’s why exterior detailing at ASAP Auto Detail is a totally different level—and why your car (and clear coat) will thank you for it.
🚫 The Problem With Neglecting Your Paint
Drive-thru washes and amateur “detailing” jobs use harsh brushes, dirty rags, and low-end chemicals that cause:
- Swirl marks
- Oxidation
- Water spots
- Faded trim and stained wheels
In a city like West Valley, with its blazing summers, dusty roads, and salt-heavy winters, your paint is constantly being broken down by the elements.
💎 What Is Professional Exterior Detailing?
Our exterior detailing is more than a clean—it’s a restoration and protection process.
At ASAP Auto Detail, we perform:
✅ Foam pre-wash to loosen dirt
✅ Hand wash with pH-balanced soap
✅ Iron remover + clay bar treatment
✅ Paint-safe drying
✅ Trim + tire restoration
✅ High-quality sealant or wax application
✅ Streak-free glass polishing
It’s a full spa day for your car’s exterior—every inch, every detail.
🌞 Why It Matters in West Valley
Between construction dust, road debris, and that relentless Utah sun, West Valley vehicles need regular protection. Left untreated, you’ll see:
- Paint fading or oxidizing
- Clear coat peeling
- Trim drying out and cracking
- Water spots that permanently etch into the paint
Don’t wait until your car looks neglected—maintain it before it gets there.
🧼 How Often Should You Get an Exterior Detail?
We recommend:
- Every 2–3 months for daily drivers
- Monthly for exposed vehicles (parking lots, job sites)
- Every 4–6 weeks if you want to maintain resale value and gloss
Pair it with our ceramic coating packages for even better long-term protection.
🛠️ Not All Detailing Is Equal
Cheap shops often use:
- Dirty towels
- Body-shop glazes that hide (not fix) scratches
- Shiny silicone dressings that dry out plastic
At ASAP Auto Detail, we use professional-grade tools and products designed for high-end vehicles—because your car deserves better than $5 soap in a bucket.
