Exterior detailing — questions from Greater Des Moines clients.
How much does an Exterior Detail cost in Des Moines?
Exterior Detail starts at $99 for a Coupe/Sedan and generally takes 1–1.5 hours. Pricing varies by vehicle size and condition — heavy-duty trucks and vans start at $199+.
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 Full Detail. Those tiers include extra time for iron decontamination and clay bar work on paint that hasn't been decontaminated in 6+ months.
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.
What areas does Street Standard Detailing serve?
We serve the entire Des Moines metro including Des Moines, Ankeny, Altoona, Waukee, West Des Moines, Clive, Johnston, Urbandale, Grimes, Pleasant Hill, Bondurant, Polk City, Norwalk, and Runnells. All service is mobile — we come to your home or workplace.
How do I book a detail?
Text or call 515-360-6110 for the fastest response, or request an instant quote through the site. During peak season we typically book 5–10 days out; off-season we can often book within the same week.
Do you require a deposit?
For most standard detailing services we don't require a deposit. Ceramic coating appointments and large-vehicle bookings may require a small deposit to hold the date. You'll know the exact terms before booking.
