What Is Exterior Detailing

Exterior detailing is the complete process of cleaning, refining and protecting the outside of your vehicle. It covers every surface including wheels, tyres, paintwork, glass, plastics, trims and exterior metals.

Unlike a quick weekend rinse, full detailing reaches deeper into surface contamination, restores lost clarity and creates a shield against the elements.

The detailing process starts with removing dirt and road grime from wheels and tyres before moving into a pre wash that breaks down contamination without touching the paint.

The wash stage lifts loose dirt safely with high lubrication shampoos before decontamination removes embedded particles such as iron fallout and tar. Polishing restores clarity, removes fine imperfections and revives paintwork.

Finally, waxes, ceramic sealants and protective coatings lock in the finish and prevent environmental damage.

Exterior detailing strengthens your protection layers, preserves shine and makes ongoing maintenance far easier. It reduces swirl marks, supports a safe wash routine and keeps your car cleaner for longer. With Fresh Chameleon products and guidance you can enjoy a professional finish whether you are a first time enthusiast or a seasoned detailer.

Wheel and Tyre Care The Essential First Step

Wheels and tyres collect more contamination than any other exterior surface. Brake dust, hot metal particles and heavy road grime bond quickly and can be extremely damaging if left untreated.

Starting with your wheels prevents this contamination from transferring onto your wash mitt and scratching your paintwork. Giving wheels their own dedicated treatment is the first rule of safe detailing.

Alloy Wheel Cleaner

Our Alloy Wheel Cleaner has been developed to break down stubborn grime and brake dust while remaining gentle on all common wheel finishes. It reaches deep into textured surfaces and helps dissolve layers of contamination that standard shampoo cannot touch.

Whether you are performing a maintenance wash or restoring wheels after a long drive this cleaner brings back clarity and makes your wheels look brighter.

Iron Fallout Remover for Wheels and Paint

Wheels gather significant amounts of iron contamination from brakes. These tiny particles bond to the metal surface and create a gritty texture.

Fallout remover is designed to chemically dissolve these particles so they can be rinsed away. As the product reacts it reveals a cleaner smoother finish and prevents long term staining.

Our iron fallout remover can also be used on paintwork for a complete decontamination step.

Tyre Brush

Tyres need more than a quick rinse to remove browning and old dressings. Our Tyre Brush uses strong but surface safe bristles to clean deep into the tyre wall. This step restores a clean look and provides the perfect base for fresh tyre shine.

Tyre Shine for Trims and Rubber

Once tyres are cleaned a finishing dressing brings them back to life. Our Tyre Shine revives the appearance of rubber and enhances the contrast between tyres and bodywork.

This adds a fresh and refined look to your exterior while protecting the rubber from UV exposure and road grime.

Tyre Dressing Applicator

This applicator allows for smooth controlled application of tyre dressings. The ergonomic shape helps distribute product evenly with minimal effort and prevents waste by holding dressings within the sponge.

Wheel Barrel Brush

Wheels often feature tight spaces that trap brake dust. The Wheel Barrel Brush reaches into deeper areas including behind spokes and around calipers.

The flexible structure makes it easy to manoeuvre and the soft fibres reduce the risk of scratching.

Finger Wheel Wash Mitt

Precision cleaning becomes simple with the Finger Wheel Wash Mitt. Its compact design fits into narrow sections and the ultra soft fibres lift dirt safely. It is perfect for wheels with intricate designs where larger brushes cannot reach.

Ultra Plush Microfibre Cloth for Wheels

Drying wheels and removing protection products requires a soft high quality cloth. Our ultra plush 550GSM cloth absorbs water efficiently and leaves behind a streak free finish. It can also be used to buff wheel sealants or quick detailers.

Pre Wash The Foundation of a Safe Detail

A thorough pre wash is the single most effective way to prevent swirl marks. This stage removes loose and bonded contamination before contact washing giving your shampoo and wash mitt a far safer surface to work on.

Without a pre wash you risk dragging abrasive particles across your paintwork and creating fine scratches.

Citrus Pre Wash

Citrus based cleaners are some of the most effective cleaners for general road grime. Our Citrus Pre Wash is designed to lift traffic film, bugs and environmental dirt from areas that see the heaviest contamination.

When applied before you touch the paint it dissolves grime and prepares the surface for a safer wash.

Extreme Snow Foam

Snow foam enhances your pre wash by blanketing your vehicle in a thick, clinging layer that softens dirt and loosens grime.

Our Extreme Snow Foam is pH neutral and safe on waxes, sealants and ceramic coatings. The foam dwells on the surface long enough to lift dirt away without damaging your protection layers.

IK Foam 1.5

This foaming sprayer delivers consistent foam without needing a pressure washer. It is ideal for driveway detailers who want high quality foam coverage with convenience and control. Adjustable nozzles allow you to change the density of the foam for different cleaning tasks.

IK Multi 1.5

A highly versatile sprayer, the IK Multi 1.5 can apply a wide range of products such as citrus pre wash, wheel cleaners and multi use cleaners. Its sturdy chemical resistant build ensures long term durability and the adjustable spray pattern gives you excellent control.

Dilution Bottles

Accurate dilution is essential for consistent results. Our dilution bottles feature clear markings so you can mix products in the correct ratios. This ensures your cleaners work at full strength without unnecessary waste.

Wash Stage Clean Safely with High Lubrication Shampoos

With the majority of contamination removed during the pre wash you can now begin the contact wash. At this stage lubrication is key. The shampoo must glide over the surface carrying dirt away from the paint.

Using high quality wash mitts further reduces the chance of swirl marks.

Tropical Car Shampoo

Our Tropical Car Shampoo creates rich high quality foam that lifts dirt away while preserving your waxes and sealants. The gentle pH neutral formula is ideal for maintenance washing and leaves a bright, refreshed finish.

Plasma Car Shampoo

Plasma Shampoo offers an ultra slick washing experience. The high lubrication helps reduce friction when using your wash mitt, making it ideal for vehicles with softer paint that is prone to marking. It provides excellent cleaning power even at high dilution ratios.

Ultra Soft Plush Wash Mitt

A thick 900GSM mitt designed to trap dirt deep in the fibres keeping it away from the paint surface. The plush texture ensures gentle cleaning and enhances your shampoo’s lubrication.

Microfibre Wash Mitt

This mitt offers an excellent balance of softness and control. The long fibres lift dirt effectively and the durable design allows for hundreds of washes.

Lambswool Wash Mitt

Lambswool is known for being exceptionally gentle. It glides effortlessly over the paint making it a favourite for enthusiasts who want the kindest possible wash for their vehicle.

Multi Use Cleaner for Exterior Tasks

Some exterior surfaces require more than shampoo. Multi Use Cleaner can be applied to lower panels, grills and trims where heavy grime collects. It removes contamination that regular shampoo cannot dissolve.

Car Drying Towel

Drying is the final stage of washing and the quality of your towel makes a significant difference. Our car drying towel absorbs water quickly and reduces the chance of marring caused by dragging water across the paint. The ultra soft fibres create a smooth, controlled drying experience.

Car Wash Kit

The Car Wash Kit provides a simple introduction to safe washing. With a premium wash mitt and pH neutral shampoo it forms the foundation of a reliable washing routine.

Decontamination Restore a Perfectly Clean Surface

Even after a contact wash some contamination remains bonded to your paint. Industrial fallout, tar spots, overspray and mineral deposits all require targeted products to remove them safely.

Decontamination reveals a truly clean surface and prepares your vehicle for polishing or protection.

Iron Fallout Remover for Paint

Iron particles embed themselves in paintwork and cannot be removed through washing.

Our fallout remover dissolves these particles without friction, reducing roughness and improving surface cleanliness. It is ideal before tar removal or clay.

Tar and Glue Remover

Tar spots and adhesive residues form strongly bonded marks on paintwork. This remover breaks down the sticky contamination so it can be wiped away gently, leaving a smoother and ready to clay finish.

Clay Bar

A fine grade clay bar removes embedded particles that remain after the fallout and tar stages.

With proper lubrication clay glides across the paint and lifts bonded contaminants. Using clay is essential before polishing and improves gloss by creating a clean flat surface.

DIY Clay Lube Alternative

Clay requires lubrication to prevent marring. You can create an effective clay lube by mixing clean water with a small amount of Plasma Shampoo.

This reduces friction and helps the clay glide smoothly over the paint surface.

Polish and Correction Restore Clarity and Gloss

Polishing improves light reflection, enhances gloss and removes fine imperfections. Whether you want quick enhancement or deeper correction, polishing is an important step for achieving an outstanding finish.

All in One Polish

Our all in one polish removes light scratches and swirl marks while refining the surface and adding a protective carnauba layer.

This makes it perfect for users who want correction and gloss in a single step. It restores the richness of your paintwork and prepares it for further protection if desired.

Microfibre Hand Applicator Pad

This applicator allows you to apply products with precision and control. The microfibre surface holds polish evenly and spreads it smoothly across the paint. It is ideal for applying polish, wax, glaze or trim dressing.

Buffing Microfibre Cloth

A high GSM cloth ensures a streak free finish when removing polish or wax. The thick fibres lift residue cleanly and leave behind a flawless shine.

Wax and Protect Extend Gloss and Shield Against the Elements

After refining your paint you need to add a protective layer. Protection creates a barrier against UV exposure, water spots and road grime. It also makes your future washes easier and helps maintain gloss.

Spray Wax

This product provides instant gloss enhancement and improved water behaviour. Carnauba wax adds depth to the paint while keeping the application process simple and fast. Ideal for topping up protection after washing.

Ceramic Foam

Ceramic Foam adds a hydrophobic ceramic layer during the rinse stage. It bonds quickly and produces impressive water beading. This protection lasts for months and gives your paintwork a smooth easy to clean feel.

Ceramic Sealant

A spray on SiO2 formula designed to deliver long lasting ceramic protection. It improves slickness and gloss while offering up to sixteen weeks of durability.

Perfect for maintaining an already protected vehicle or adding protection after polishing.

Finish and Dress The Final Touches That Transform Your Detail

Finishing products enhance the clarity, smoothness and depth of your car. They provide the last refinements that bring the entire detail together.

Quick Detailer Spray

Quick Detailer Spray refreshes paintwork between washes by removing fingerprints, light dust and water marks. It enhances gloss and creates a slick surface that maintains the just detailed look.

Plastic and Tyre Shine

Exterior trims and tyres can lose their colour over time. This dressing restores depth and adds a clean uniform appearance. It also shields trim from UV exposure and environmental damage.

Glass Cleaner

A spotless finish requires clear glass. Our glass cleaner removes road film and smudges quickly leaving windows and mirrors bright and streak free.

Waffle Glass Cloth

The waffle weave cloth uses deep textured pockets to lift grease and dirt away from glass surfaces. This prevents streaks and enhances clarity.

Accessories Additional Tools for Better Results

Buckets and Grit Guards

Using two buckets one for shampoo and one for rinsing helps trap dirt and prevents it from returning to your wash mitt. Grit guards keep particles at the bottom of the bucket, reducing the chance of swirl marks.

Detailing Bags

Keeping cleaning tools organised makes detailing more efficient. Bags help store towels, sprays and accessories neatly.

Detailing Lights

Polishing and finishing are easier when you use inspection lighting. Detailing lights reveal swirls, imperfections and uneven coverage so you can refine your results with precision.

Machine Polishers and Pads

For deeper correction machine polishers provide more consistent results compared to hand polishing. Foam and microfibre pads offer different levels of cut and refinement for various paint types.
