Winter undercarriage care

Share photos in even daylight, with a wider view of the car and closer views of your main concerns. Road buildup, visible marks, and existing damage can affect the appropriate scope and the final quote.
Separate cleaning from correction
A cleaner exterior and corrected paint are different goals. Do not assume washing or detailing will remove scratches, etching, or other finish defects. If those are your priority, ask about a paint-assessment conversation.

The $100 wash includes the listed cleaning steps and ceramic sealant. The $250 option adds a gloss-enhancing polish and uses a 1-year ceramic coating. More extensive paint correction is quoted separately.
