Preparing your car for an exterior detailing service ensures the best results and a smoother process. At Iron Detailing, we provide tips to help you get ready.

Clear Out Personal Items and Debris

Before your exterior detailing appointment at Iron Detailing, it’s essential to clear out any personal items and debris from your vehicle. This step not only helps our technicians access the areas that need attention but also prevents any items from being inadvertently damaged during the detailing process. Start by removing all personal belongings from the cabin and trunk, including any loose items, trash, and even floor mats if possible.


While our primary focus is the exterior, having a clean interior makes for a more comprehensive detailing experience, and it allows our team to move freely around the vehicle. By taking a few moments to prepare your car, you’ll ensure that our detailing professionals can give your vehicle the attention it deserves, resulting in a cleaner and more polished finish.

Wash and Rinse (If Possible)

While Iron Detailing will handle the detailed cleaning, giving your car a quick wash and rinse before your appointment can be beneficial. This initial step helps remove loose dirt and grime from the surface, making the detailing process more effective. A simple rinse can prevent scratches during the detailing work, as it minimizes the amount of abrasive material on your car’s paint. If you have access to a gentle car wash or a hose, this is a good way to start.


Additionally, if you know there are specific problem areas, like bird droppings or tree sap, mentioning these to our team will help us focus our efforts where they are most needed. By preparing your car in these ways, you will contribute to a more efficient detailing process, allowing Iron Detailing to provide the best possible results for your vehicle's exterior.
