Exterior detailing in Honolulu
Paint That Feels Rough or Looks Dull.
A full exterior transformation including clay bar and polish. For paint the sun, salt and road grime have gotten to, and for oxidation and water spots, we quote after we see it.
Mark's Garage, 1142 Bethel St, Honolulu. Detailing here since 1991.
Sound Familiar?
Rough to the touch
Run your hand over clean paint. If it feels gritty, contaminants are bonded to it. A clay bar pulls them off so the polish can work.
Chalky, faded paint
Years of Hawaii sun oxidize paint, especially reds and dark colors. Oxidation removal is priced per vehicle because it depends on how far it's gone.
Water spots that won't wash off
Hard water and sprinkler spots etch into glass and paint. Water spot removal is quoted after we look.
What's Included
- Exterior wash
- Clay bar
- Polish
What we won't promise
- Oxidation and water spots are quoted on sight. Paint that has gone through the clear coat cannot be polished back.
- Deep scratches that catch a fingernail are body work, not detailing.
