How much does an Exterior Detail cost in Des Moines?
+
Exterior Detail starts at $129 for cars, SUVs and trucks and generally takes 1–1.5 hours. Oversized vans and heavily soiled vehicles are quoted before we book.
What's included in an Exterior Detail?
+
Foam pre-soak, safe hand wash, wheels cleaned, tires cleaned and dressed, door jambs, exterior glass, and spray sealant protection.
Is a safe hand wash actually safer for paint?
+
Yes. A safe wash method (dedicated wash + rinse buckets, grit guards, plush mitts) prevents dirt from being reintroduced to the paint — the leading cause of swirl marks and wash-induced scratches. It's non-negotiable on every vehicle.
What if my paint has heavy contamination, tar or sap?
+
Book a Premium Full Detail — it includes the extra time for iron decontamination and clay bar work on paint that hasn't been decontaminated in 6+ months. Decontamination can also be added to an Exterior or Full Detail.
Do you offer paint correction or machine polishing?
+
No. Street Standard does not offer paint correction or machine polishing. We focus on safe washing, decontamination, ceramic protection, and interior work.
