Add-On Services

Exterior Trim Restoration — $30 Brings faded black plastic trim back to life with a deep, rich finish and added UV protection. Most detailers skip plastic trim entirely. We restore it.
Carnauba Wax — $40 A hand-applied carnauba wax that gives your paint a deep, glossy shine and protects it from sun, dirt, and weather for weeks. Pairs with the Hand Wash package for enhanced protection.
Premium Carpet Shampoo Add-On — $50 Upgrade any service with a full-shampoo interior treatment. We use a specialized formula to lift grime and brighten carpet color across the entire cabin including all floor mats.
Professional Exterior Auto Detailing in Dallas — Not a Car Wash, Not a Side Hustle
There is a significant difference between a professional exterior detail and what passes for a car wash in Dallas. Most people don’t realize the damage they’re doing to their vehicle’s paint every time they run it through an automatic car wash — until they see the swirl marks in direct sunlight.
At DFW Detailer, every exterior service is performed by hand using professional-grade chemicals and paint-safe tools. We don’t use recycled water, rotating bristles, or automated rollers. We work surface by surface, panel by panel, with the kind of attention to detail that produces a result you can actually see.
Professional Products on Every Vehicle
The products used during an exterior detail matter more than most people know. We use professional detailing chemicals from P&S Detail Products and CarPro, with microfiber towels from The Rag Company that are specifically designed to clean without scratching or swirling your paint. Every product in our kit has been tested on our own vehicle before it ever touches a customer’s car. If it’s not proven safe on our own paint, it never makes it into our process.
The Areas Most Dallas Detailers Skip
Most detailers wash the obvious surfaces and call it done. We don’t. Our exterior detail covers the window trim line, the lower door panels, the wheel wells, the undercarriage on Exterior MAX services, and every area where road grime, bug splatter, and tar tend to hide. These are the spots that separate a real exterior detail from a basic wash.
Car Washes Are Damaging Your Paint
Automatic car washes in Dallas use rotating bristles that have already collected dirt and grit from every vehicle before yours. That debris acts like sandpaper against your paint surface — creating the fine scratches and swirl marks that are visible in direct sunlight and that reduce your vehicle’s resale value over time.
Professional exterior detailing uses no abrasive brushes, no recycled water, and no automated equipment. Every surface is cleaned by hand. Every product is paint-safe. It is not the same service — and your vehicle’s finish reflects the difference.
We Come to You Anywhere in Dallas
DFW Detailer is 100% mobile. We bring the full exterior detailing service to your home, apartment complex, or office anywhere in Dallas, TX and the surrounding suburbs. All we need is access to your water and power supply. You don’t move the car — we come to it.
DFW Detailer is operated by Ben, a Dallas-based detailer with over four years of hands-on experience. Every product in our kit has been tested on his own vehicle before it’s ever used on a customer’s car. If it’s not proven safe on his paint, it never touches yours.
Exterior Detailing for Every Vehicle Type in Dallas, TX
We provide professional exterior auto detailing for every type of vehicle across the Dallas area. Pricing is based on vehicle size — sedans and coupes start at a lower rate while trucks, SUVs, and large vehicles are priced accordingly.
Exterior Detailing for Trucks in Dallas Full-size trucks take on more road debris, mud, and undercarriage buildup than standard vehicles. Our Exterior MAX service includes undercarriage cleaning specifically because trucks need it. Starting at $90 for trucks.
Exterior Detailing for Cars and Sedans in Dallas Daily drivers, commuter cars, and personal sedans across Dallas see constant UV exposure, road debris, and brake dust buildup on wheels. Our exterior detail removes all of it and leaves your paint protected.
Exterior Detailing for Luxury Vehicles in Dallas Luxury vehicles require professional products and a careful hand. We use the same professional-grade chemicals on every vehicle regardless of make or model — because the process that's safe for a daily driver is the same process that's safe for a luxury vehicle.
Exterior Detailing for SUVs in Dallas SUVs are some of the most commonly detailed vehicles in the Dallas suburbs. Larger surface area means more paint to protect — and more areas most detailers skip. We cover all of it.
Why Dallas Drivers Choose DFW Detailer for Exterior Auto Detailing
Four years of hands-on experience. Since 2022, every exterior detail we’ve performed has followed the same professional process — refined over time and built around products that actually work.
Professional-grade products only. P&S Detail Products, CarPro, and The Rag Company microfiber towels are what go on your vehicle — not off-the-shelf consumer products that leave residue and create swirl marks.
Tested before it touches your car. Every product in our detailing kit has been tested on our own vehicle first. If it’s not safe enough for our own paint, it doesn’t make it into our process.
A satisfaction guarantee on every service. If the result doesn’t meet your expectations, we’ll make it right. That’s not a marketing line — it’s how we operate on every job.

How is exterior detailing different from a car wash in Dallas?
An automatic car wash uses rotating bristles that collect dirt and grit from every vehicle before yours — acting like sandpaper against your paint over time. Professional exterior detailing is performed entirely by hand using paint-safe products and tools that clean without scratching. The results are visibly different, and the long-term impact on your paint is dramatically different. A car wash damages your finish. A professional exterior detail protects it.
How long does an exterior detail take in Dallas?
A Hand Wash typically takes 45 minutes to one hour depending on vehicle size and condition. An Exterior MAX service including clay bar and ceramic coating application typically takes one and a half to two hours. We provide an accurate time estimate at the time of booking.
Do you offer ceramic coating with exterior detailing in Dallas?
Yes. Our Exterior MAX package includes a high-grade ceramic coating application that provides durable, long-lasting paint protection. For full standalone ceramic coating services, contact us directly to discuss options and pricing for your specific vehicle.
Do you detail trucks and SUVs in Dallas?
Yes. We provide exterior auto detailing for trucks, SUVs, and all large vehicles across Dallas and the surrounding suburbs. Pricing for trucks and large SUVs starts at $40 for a Hand Wash and $90 for the Exterior MAX. The Exterior MAX for trucks includes undercarriage cleaning in addition to all standard servi
Do you need my water and power for exterior detailing?
Yes. Our mobile exterior detailing setup connects to your existing water and power supply at your home, apartment, or office. This is how we deliver professional on-site results without a fixed shop. If you’re booking at a location without easy hookup access, let us know when you book and we’ll work something out.
Do I need to be home during the exterior detail?
You don’t need to be present the entire time. We ask that you’re available at the start of the appointment to show us your hookups and unlock the vehicle if needed. After that you’re free to go about your day. We’ll contact you when the service is complete.
What products do you use for exterior detailing in Dallas?
We use professional-grade chemicals from P&S Detail Products and CarPro, with microfiber towels from The Rag Company. These are professional detailing brands — not consumer products. Every product has been tested on our own vehicle before it’s applied to a customer’s car.
Can I add carnauba wax to my exterior detail?
Yes. Carnauba wax is available as a $40 add-on to any exterior detailing service. It provides a deep glossy shine and adds protection from sun, dirt, and weather for several weeks. It pairs well with the Hand Wash package for drivers who want enhanced shine and protection without the full Exterior MAX service.
