Are You Searching For A
Quality Cleaning For Your Vehicle?
You are sure to find it here at OCD! Our exterior vehicle detailing packages pay special attention to all the hard-to-reach areas of an automobile that get dirty by a wide variety of environmental and manmade contaminants. Public car washes and quick, abrasive hand washes at home will only damage your paint, while hastily hand washing it in your driveway does next to nothing for protecting it against those contaminants.
The professional vehicle detailing teams that we employ here at OCD utilize some of the best and safest formulas when detailing your vehicle’s exterior, all of which are actually designed to remove dirt and grime much deeper than basic car washing methods can. Additionally, we have an extensive list of add-on exterior detailing services that our competitors do not offer, which help take your car, truck, SUV, or other vehicle to a whole new level!
And if you are in one of the neighborhoods in our service range, we can bring these exponential detailing services to your home garage!

FAQs
- Exterior Vehicle Detailing At OCD
Is exterior detailing required before installing a ceramic coating or PPF?
Whether your paint protection selection is our Owner’s Pride Ceramic Coating packages or our SunTek Paint Protection Films, OCD performs an exterior detail to rid your surface of all contaminants. Having your exterior cleaned first is quite vital in ensuring that only a clean, beautiful finish is what is protected.
Does your clay-bar treatment cover any surface discrepancies?
No, it does the exact opposite actually! Our clay-bar treatment decontaminants your exterior painted surfaces to such a level that it will reveal any surface defects to our paint correction team, which we can then correct using our restorative methodologies.
Do you perform any paint correction services with your exterior detailing?
Yes we do! We provide two exterior detailing packages that feature a swirl-free single stage paint polish or a cutting, buffing, and polishing procedure to remedy minor surface defects. We perform this after completely decontaminating your exterior, with a paint protection application following thereafter.
Are the paint sealants that come with your exterior detailing packages as good as a ceramic coating?
The sealants that we apply following our exclusive exterior detailing are designed to last several months following your service. This is why we encourage all customers to consider having our ceramic coating installation team hand apply one of our paint protection packages following their service.
