A Hand-Washed, Protected Finish Without Leaving Home
Exterior car detailing in Morris County NJ is one of GNG Auto Detail's three core services, alongside interior and full details. I'm a mobile detailer based in Cedar Knolls who hand-washes, decontaminates, and protects your car's exterior right in your driveway. New Jersey roads are hard on paint: winter brine, spring pollen, summer bugs, brake dust all year. An exterior detail strips that buildup off safely and leaves a protected, glossy finish behind.
No automatic car wash brushes ever touch your paint. Every wash is done by hand with the two-bucket method and clean microfiber, the way it should be. And because every car's condition is different, every quote is custom. You show me the car, I give you a fair price, and nothing starts until you say go.
Every Exterior Detail, Every Time
A full decontamination and protection pass, not a rushed rinse.
Pre-Rinse & Foam Wash
A thorough pre-rinse knocks off loose dirt, then a pH-balanced foam soak lifts grime off the paint before anything touches it. That's how you wash without scratching.
Two-Bucket Hand Wash
One bucket for clean solution, one to rinse the mitt, so dirt never gets dragged back across your paint. Panel by panel, top to bottom, with clean microfiber mitts.
Wheels, Tires & Wells
Brake dust dissolved off the wheel faces and barrels, tires scrubbed clean, wheel wells rinsed out, and a satin tire dressing to finish. No greasy shine, just clean.
Bug & Grime Removal
Bug remains on the bumper and mirrors get softened and lifted safely instead of scrubbed until the clear coat suffers. Door jambs and the trunk sill get wiped clean too.
Spray Wax Protection
A coat of spray wax adds gloss and a sacrificial layer that helps water bead and grime rinse off easier, so the clean lasts longer between washes.
Glass & Final Inspection
Streak-free glass and mirrors inside the wash scope, then a slow lap around the car checking every panel before I call it done. You inspect it with me.

How Mobile Exterior Detailing Works at Your Home
Step 1, walkaround. I look at the car together: paint condition, bug buildup, wheels, water spots. You get a firm quote before anything starts, not a guess.
Step 2, setup. I park next to your car and set up the wash rig, running off my own water tank and generator. I bring everything, from the water itself to the last microfiber towel. Prefer drop-off? You can always leave the car with me in Cedar Knolls instead.
Step 3, wash and decontaminate. Pre-rinse, foam soak, two-bucket hand wash, wheels and tires, bug removal, door jambs. Any add-ons like clay bar treatment or water spot removal happen here.
Step 4, protect and finish. The paint gets dried with plush towels, spray wax goes on for gloss and protection, tires get a satin dressing, and glass gets a streak-free wipe.
Step 5, the handoff. You walk the car with me. If anything's not right, I fix it on the spot, and the car is ready to drive immediately.
Exterior Detail vs Full Detail
An exterior detail is the right call when the inside of your car is holding up fine but the outside has lost its shine: road film, bugs, dull paint, dirty wheels. It takes about 2 hours and the car looks new from the curb.
If the cabin needs love too, crumbs, pet hair, stains, odors, step up to a full detail, which combines this entire exterior process with my complete interior detail in one visit. It's my most-booked service for a reason.
