Benefits of Exterior Detailing
From Bugs to Tar, we will get rid of it all!
Exterior detailing offers more than just a shiny surface—it provides long-term protection for your vehicle’s paint and exterior components. Regular detailing helps prevent oxidation, fading, and scratches caused by environmental contaminants. By applying a high-quality wax or sealant, your vehicle will be shielded from harmful UV rays, dirt, and road grime, preserving its value and appearance. The process also helps extend the lifespan of your paint, ensuring your car continues to look as good as new for years to come.

Our Customers, Real Results, Their Reviews!
Awesome service for people that don’t have the time. Lawrence and Katie arrived at my house on time and did great work. The pricing is fair and the results are well above average.
- David Sigmon
I had the Mini Exterior Detailing done on October 7th, 2024, by Katie and Lawrence, and they did an amazing job! They came to my home and were very communicative. They were so nice and worked really hard to make my car look great. Now my car is super clean, shiny. I’m really happy with how the detail turned out. Thank you, Katie and Lawrence, for doing such a great job! I highly recommend them to anyone!
-Ben Gilmore
Lawrence has an exceptional attention to detail. He hits every detail every time. I highly recommend MadLad Detailing. My van had terrible swirls in the paint from a previous poor job and he was able to fix their mistakes. It looks better than it ever has.
