Estimate your detail online — it prices the packages at their starting rates. The real number is what I find at the walkaround, and I agree it with you before any work starts.
Packages & pricing
Three core packages: Exterior Detail, Interior Detail, or both, in one appointment (Exo Signature Detail). Pricing is based on vehicle size and condition. You’ll also find add-ons below, plus ceramic coating and paint correction for deeper protection and shine.
Starting at
$155
A clean, smooth vehicle, sealed against Pacific Northwest weather for months.

My most complete detail: everything inside and out, in a single appointment.
Both details, one visit:
Small = sedans and coupes (Audi A4, Civic, Corolla) Mid-Size = SUVs and crossovers (BMW X5, Forester, RAV4) Large = trucks, big SUVs and vans (Escalade, Tundra, Yukon)
Upgrades & add-ons
Check off what interests you when you book. We’ll shape it around your vehicle at the walkaround, adding what you actually need and leaving off what you don’t.
Add-ons are extras you can attach to any package: the jobs a standard detail does not cover, priced on their own.
Each add-on is priced on its own, and the number depends on what I find: some vehicles need a quick pass, others need more work. I’ll give you the price for anything you want added at the walkaround, before I start.
A note on ozone. It runs after the interior is cleaned, and the vehicle needs to air out for a good while afterwards. I will tell you when it is ready. If a child, an older passenger, or anyone with a respiratory condition rides in the vehicle, give it longer still.
Correction & coating
A different level of care: the work you choose when the vehicle is worth keeping, not the regular clean.
Years of protection
A polish first, then a hard-cured glass-like shield bonded to your paint — CARPRO CQUARTZ UK 3.0 or Adam’s Advanced Graphene 10H, the two coatings I use and stand behind. Exterior Detail and a 1-step paint correction included. Years of gloss instead of weeks of wax. From $750.
Gloss brought back
Swirl marks and scratches machine-polished out of your paint, Exterior Detail included. From $470.
The process
From a two-minute booking to a vehicle you’re glad to get back into.
Book online in a couple of minutes. You pick from times that are available. Or call or text (360) 347-1610 and I’ll get you booked that way. Whichever is easiest for you.
I arrive at your location and we walk around your vehicle together, using my standardized checklist to assess size and true condition. From there, you’ll get a firm, final price.
Once you’re happy with the price, I’ll schedule a day that works best for you, with no obligation to decide on the spot. If there’s availability to begin the detail right after the quote, I’ll let you know if it’s an option to start immediately.
On your scheduled day of service, I arrive and get to work, taking the time needed to do the job right. Most people head back inside and continue with their day while I handle the rest.
Fully self-contained
No hose, no outlet, nothing borrowed. Everything the job needs travels in the van, so I can work in a driveway, a parking lot, or an apartment space with nothing laid on for me.
When the work is done I’ll come and get you, and we walk the vehicle together before I pack up. If anything doesn’t meet your standard, I will work with you to fix it. No awkward conversation, no surprise charge. Every job, every time.

Tunnel Wash vs Detailing
A tunnel wash moves a lot of vehicles through in a hurry. A detail is the other kind of clean, and this is where the two part ways.
| Compare | Tunnel Wash | Exo Signature Detail | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Safety | Brushes can scratch and swirl paint | Washed by hand with slick soap and clean mitts, so grit lifts off instead of dragging across the paint | |
| Water Used | 60 to 120 gallons for one vehicle | 5 to 20 gallons for one vehicle | |
| Protection | Lasts 1 to 4 weeks | Beads rain for 3 months | |
| Interior | Yours to do | I’ll handle it — you relax | |
| Effort | You drive there | I drive to you | |
| Products | Alkaline and acid presoaks, chosen to move vehicles, not to protect paint — strong enough to take your wax off with the grime | pH-neutral products, matched to each surface. Whatever protects your paint is still there when I leave | |
| Quality | Pollen, sap and bug splatter often survive it. Done when the machine stops. | Worked by hand until it’s actually clean. Done when we’ve walked the vehicle together. |
Questions
The things Thurston County drivers ask me most, before the walkaround.
A ceramic coating is a liquid glass that hardens onto your paint and stays there for years. Dirt struggles to stick, rain rolls straight off, and washing gets quicker because less grime holds on in the first place. Wax does a little of this for a few weeks. A coating does it for years, and I always polish the paint first so what gets sealed in is paint at its best. The 3-month sealant included in my Exterior Detail is the spray-on kind — a real coating is the multi-year version described here.
Paint correction is machine polishing that removes the fine scratches and swirl marks that make paint look dull. Those marks come from years of washing, brushes and daily driving, and they scatter light instead of reflecting it. Polishing levels the surface so the color looks deep again. It is not a wax or a filler that hides them for a few weeks: what comes out, stays out.
Not every scratch, but more than most people expect, and I’ll always be honest about which will come out and which won’t.
Polishing takes off a very thin layer of the clear top coat over your paint to smooth the area around a scratch, so it works beautifully on swirl marks, light scratches, and dull, oxidized paint. A 1-step polish clears about half of that kind of damage, a 2-step most of it, and my 3-step gets close to a showroom finish. What it can’t fix is damage that has gone through the paint: deep scratches you can catch a fingernail in, or chips down to the metal. That’s body-shop work, not detailing. At the walkaround we’ll go over your paint together, so you always know what to expect. See every tier and price on my Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating pages.
Don’t worry about tidying up before the quote. However, if there’s an interior detail involved on the day of service, I’ll ask you to move all belongings from inside the vehicle to somewhere safe (glovebox and console included) before I get started.
I’m not able to touch personal belongings for liability reasons, so anything left inside is something I have to work around. Leave the trash. I’ll take care of it.
Cars, trucks, SUVs and vans — car detailing, truck detailing, the lot. Price follows size, so a truck costs more than a sedan, and you get a firm number at the walkaround before anything starts.
Both factors affect how long the work takes. Larger vehicles have more carpet, glass, and paint to cover, so every package is priced in three sizes: small, mid-size, and large. Condition works on a similar scale: a well-maintained vehicle that’s washed regularly carries no upcharge, while more neglected conditions (years without a deep clean, or a rainstorm with the windows down) take more time and care. Add-ons scale with severity too, the same way. You’ll get your exact, final number at the walkaround, face to face, before you commit to anything.
Nope! I am fully self-contained. My detailing setup is equipped with a water tank and a generator onboard, so your driveway is my shop.
Every vehicle is a little different: the package you choose, your vehicle’s size, and its true condition all affect how long the work takes, so I’d rather not toss out a number sight unseen. Booking online reserves the walkaround, not the detail itself. At the walkaround I give you a firm price and a realistic estimate of how long the work will take, and we book it for a day that suits you.
Usually yes, but you’ll need to clear it with your property manager or HOA before you book. Some complexes are happy to allow it; others don’t permit commercial work on site at all, and that’s their call rather than mine. I’m fully self-contained, so I’m not asking your building for water or power. What I do need is permission to be there and a parking space I can work around. Please check first so nobody’s time gets wasted, and if you’re not sure who to ask, call or text (360) 347-1610 and we’ll talk it through.
Right now I serve Tumwater, Olympia, and Lacey. Those are the cities I’m permitted to work in, so those are the ones I book.
If you are somewhere else, it is still worth asking. Adding a city means getting permitted for it, and enough requests from one area is what tells me to look into it. Call or text (360) 347-1610 or email hello@exomobiledetail.com, and I’ll tell you where things stand.
Two minutes to book
The booking form takes about two minutes: your vehicle, where you are, and a time that suits you. You’ll only see real, available times, and once you pick one and hit submit, your free quote is reserved.
Rather not fill out a form? Call and I’ll get you booked myself.
Call (360) 347-1610No payment upfront. You get your firm price at the walkaround, and you only pay once the work is done.
