About Exterior Detailing in Sandpoint

Restore, Protect, and Revive Your Vehicle’s Exterior

Your vehicle, RV, or boat takes a beating from the elements in North Idaho—sun, salt, snow, and dirt all wear down your exterior over time. At Kootenai Mobile Detailing, our Exterior Detailing service is designed to do more than just clean. We restore brilliance, protect against future damage, and help your vehicle stand out wherever it goes—whether you’re parked lakeside in Sandpoint or exploring the mountain roads of Bonner County.

We come to your home, jobsite, or storage facility—fully mobile and fully equipped.

What’s Included in Our Exterior Detailing Service

Hand Wash & Dry

We start with a gentle but thorough hand wash using premium pH-balanced soaps and microfiber mitts. This removes dirt and grime without scratching your clear coat.

Tire & Wheel Cleaning

Remove stubborn brake dust, mud, and grime from your wheels. We scrub each tire and rim carefully, then finish with a high-gloss tire dressing for a like-new shine.

Undercarriage Cleaning

Your vehicle’s underside is vulnerable to rust and corrosion, especially with winter salt and gravel roads. We offer an undercarriage flush to remove buildup and protect these unseen areas.

Clay Bar Treatment (Optional Add-On)

Decontaminate your paint by removing embedded pollutants, overspray, and sap that a wash alone can’t remove. This leaves your surface smooth and ready for wax, sealant, or ceramic.

Trim & Blackout Treatment

Plastic fenders, bumpers, and moldings are restored to their original deep black finish with specialized conditioners that resist fading and UV damage.

Glass Polishing

Crystal-clear windows and mirrors are achieved by removing water spots and streaks using our streak-free polish and glass-safe tools.

Bug & Tar Removal

We remove sticky road contaminants like bug guts and asphalt tar that can etch into paint if left untreated.

Wax, Sealant, or Ceramic Coating (Optional Upgrades)

Choose from high-end wax, synthetic sealants, or our advanced ceramic coatings for long-lasting protection and unbeatable gloss.
