WASHING AND POLISHING WITH PRECISION

EXTERIOR DETAILING SERVICES IN BATAVIA, ILLINOIS

REVIVING YOUR VEHICLE’S EXTERIOR WITH PRECISION

Every day you drive, contaminants will cling to the exterior of your vehicle. Dust particles are normal and unavoidable, but you should try to remove surface dust as often as possible. Other things like mud and bugs become harder and harder to remove and can cause permanent damage to your vehicle's factory clear coat.


At Fox Valley Detailing, we understand that proper cleaning of your car's exterior requires more than just a simple wash and rinse. Instead, we carefully remove the surface contamination with a “no touch” wash. Afterward, we’ll use a “soft-touch” hand wash, iron remover, and clay treatment to remove tougher contaminants carefully and effectively from your vehicle. We finish up this process with dressing and sealant to ensure that your exterior looks just as shiny as it did the day you bought it!

EXTERIOR DETAILING ADD-ON SERVICES

HEADLIGHT RESTORATION

STARTING AT $75

Every day your headlights are exposed to damaging natural elements such as UV rays, hard rain, rocks, and more. Over time, headlight covers will start to appear dull or even foggy with a hazy finish. Headlight restoration will not only enhance your car’s appearance, but will increase your visibility and keep you safer while you drive. This detailing service is much cheaper than replacing any of these parts, making it an efficient addition to any exterior detailing.

TRIM AND PLASTIC PROTECTION

STARTING AT $70

Much like your headlights, the trim of your car is constantly affected by outdoor elements. Sunlight causes the trim to fade and, as a buffer for your vehicle’s metal, the trim is often scratched. Our trim restoration service applies a semi-permanent coating to bring more color back to the trim, and improve your car’s appearance. Trim restoration can also increase your vehicle’s sale value.

ENGINE BAY DETAILING

SEE DETAILER FOR PRICING

This is a service that most vehicle owners either forget to do, or worry that it will cause more harm than good. The truth is, engine bays are so well protected with modern engineering that you’re actually causing more harm by not cleaning it regularly. Engine bay cleaning should be done every three to six months to keep your engine clean and looking new so it's easy to spot problems like oil or fluid leaks. This is a quick and easy service that has fantastic benefits for your vehicle.

ROAD TAR REMOVAL

SEE DETAILER FOR PRICING

Newly laid road tar can stick to your tires and get flung onto your car’s exterior. If tar is left on for too long, it can leave permanent damage to the exterior’s base coat by adhering to the paint. This is why it’s essential to have experienced technicians handle road tar removal carefully and accurately. Road tar removal is a great addition to paint correction detailing services where our expert team removes scratches and other defects from your vehicle’s clear coat.

YOU CAN TRUST FOX VALLEY DETAILING WITH YOUR PAINT CORRECTION NEEDS

Our objective with paint correction is to preserve as much of the clear coat as possible while safely removing swirls, scratches, and other defects from the clear coat. Most modern vehicles are painted in a multi-step process using an electrically applied coat to prevent rust, followed by a primer coat, a base coat, and — finally — a clear coat.


The clear coat is designed to protect the base coat (or color coat) from damage from the sun and other contaminants. However, the clear coat is very thin (typically less than the thickness of a piece of paper) and so, when it’s damaged, it is very important to correct that damage in a way that preserves as much of that clear coat as possible.


Typical damage that can be safely corrected to dramatically improve the gloss and shine of your paint includes swirls from improper washing, light scratches, bird lime etching, and oxidation. With paint correction, we focus on removing or minimizing as much of these defects as possible while still preserving the integrity of your clear coat so your vehicle is protected well into the future.

THE BENEFITS OF EXTERIOR DETAILING

The exterior of your car is constantly bombarded with dirt, dust, bugs, sap and other contaminants. Over time this will cause paint damage which increases the need for repairs at a body shop. Washing by hand may not get all of these particles off and also leaves behind potentially harmful swirl marks that reduce shine over time. Professional exterior detailing services use advanced technology like soft foam pads or clay bars to clean any surface without leaving behind scratches. When done correctly exterior detailing results in an impressive appearance; one that really pops out when compared to cars that don't see such regular care! 

Many people are unaware of the benefits that come with professional exterior detailing for your vehicle. 


Some of these benefits include:

  • Restoring Paint Shine and Gloss

    Professional exterior detailing leaves your car looking squeaky clean. Once the vehicle is completely clean, it is machine polished to restore shine and gloss. We can then add a ceramic coating for extremely durable protection thus locking-in that shine and gloss.

  • Keeping Your Vehicle Protected

    Exterior detailing brings life back to your vehicle. Whether you think you’ll keep your car for many years, or you’re considering trading it in soon, exterior detailing will enhance the appearance and possibly increase its market value. Plus, the added protection from things like tree sap, bugs and road grime will help your ride look newer for longer. Fox Valley Detailing is available for routine exterior detailing, as well as in-depth extensive detailing work.

  • Preserving Your Car’s Value

    There can be a big difference in value between a vehicle that is poorly maintained and one that is in pristine condition. For example, adding a durable ceramic coating to a new vehicle will keep the paint looking new for years to come with proper maintenance and that can put a lot of money back in your pocket when you trade it or sell it someday.
