What is exterior clean?

A careful hand wash of the body, wheels and glass, with a dry finish. A quick way to keep your vehicle looking its best between full details.

Signs you need it

  • Dust, mud or salt build-up
  • Bird droppings or tree sap on the paint
  • Before an event or a photo

How it works

  1. Pre-rinse to remove loose dirt
  2. Hand wash with the two-bucket method
  3. Wheels, tyres and arches cleaned
  4. Drying with microfibre
  5. Glass cleaned

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Vehicle size
  • How dirty it is
  • Mobile service travel

Tips

  • Remove bird droppings quickly — they can mark the paint
  • Ask for a wax or sealant top-up for extra shine
  • A regular clean makes full details easier and cheaper

Why it matters

Regular exterior cleaning prevents grime from etching into the paint and keeps your car looking cared for.

How often should I wash my car?

Every couple of weeks is a good rhythm, more often near the coast or after long road trips, to stop salt and grime building up.

Is a hand wash better than an automatic wash?

A careful hand wash is gentler on paint and reaches areas brushes miss, which helps avoid swirl marks.

Can it be done at my home or work?
