Exterior Detail for Shine and Protection
A wash and wax to freshen up the exterior
Enhance Your Paint’s Gloss and Add Protection
Has it been a while since your car had a wax or sealant applied? A wash and wax service is a great way to maintain your car’s paint, ensuring it stays smooth, protected, and glossy. Doing this once or twice a year helps remove light contaminants, enhances shine, and adds a layer of protection against Knoxville’s sun, dust, and road grime.
Not only will you see a noticeable difference in your car’s shine, but you will also feel the slickness and smoothness of the paint after the service.
If you’re looking to take things a step further with the exterior, you can go with our paint correction service that removes swirls and scratches. Want long-term protection? A ceramic coating locks in the shine and protects your paint for years.
Wash and Wax Process
A wash and wax is a thorough exterior detail that keeps your car in great condition. Here is how we get it done:
Wheel and Tire Cleaning: We deep clean the wheels, tires, and fenders to remove brake dust and road grime. Some wheels may require extra cleaning to restore their original shine, which can be done as an additional service.
Hand Wash: A gentle but thorough wash ensures the exterior is free of dirt and debris. Bugs and bird droppings are carefully removed from the front of the vehicle.
Clay Bar Treatment: The clay bar process lifts embedded contaminants that washing alone cannot remove. This step makes the paint feel ultra-smooth and prepares it for sealant application.
Apply the Wax: A high-quality sealant is applied to add gloss and protect the paint.
Dress the Tires: We apply a water-based tire dressing for a clean, satin finish—no greasy, sticky residue.
Clean the Glass: Exterior windows and glass are thoroughly cleaned for a crystal-clear, streak-free finish.
Looking to give your exterior and interior a transformation? Our Interior Detailing service cleans your interior to a like-new condition. With these two services, you’ll have that new-car feel again.
Since we’re a mobile detailing service, we bring the services right to your home or office location. You don’t need to rearrange your schedule or plan on not having a car —we take care of everything while you go about your day.

Professional Mobile Detailing in Knoxville TN
Steam Pro Mobile Detailing is a fully mobile detailing service that brings high-quality car care directly to your home, office, or apartment location. Here’s a look at the additional services we offer:
Paint Correction: Remove swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation from your paint with machine polishing. This process enhances clarity and delivers a high-gloss finish.
Ceramic Coating: Long-term protection that repels dirt, road grime, and harsh weather while keeping your car’s paint looking sleek and glossy.
Premium Wash: A swirl-free wash to keep your vehicle looking clean week-after-week. This is perfect for vehicles that have been corrected or coated as it will keep your paint in pristine condition. Automated wash tunnels can be too aggressive with the cleaners or brushes and add a ton of swirls back into your paintwork. Our wash doesn’t do that.
Headlight Restoration: Cloudy headlights not only make your vehicle worn but it also reduces visibility at night (or during inclement weather). Our restoration process removes oxidation, restoring clarity and improves your driving safety.
Interior Detailing: If your car’s interior needs a serious refresh, this is the service for you. We deep clean the carpets, plastics, and leather surfaces using professional-grade tools and cleaners.
Paint Protection Film (PPF): Protect your paint from rock chips, scratches, and road debris with PPF. This clear layer of film is perfect for daily drivers and high-end vehicles.
Smoke Odor Removal: Smoke smells can linger in your interior long after the smoking has stopped. We perform a deep cleaning and ozone treatment to eliminate smoke odors at the source.
Window Tinting: Want added privacy and heat rejection? Our ceramic window tint enhances style while keeping your cabin cooler and protecting against harmful UV rays.
Engine Cleaning: A clean engine bay not only looks great but also helps with maintenance. Removing grease and buildup makes it easier to spot leaks and can help prep your vehicle for sale.
Whether you need a one-time detail, regular maintenance, or a thorough paint correction transformation, Steam Pro Detailing has you covered.
Wash and Wax FAQs
Do you come to me?
Yes! We are a fully mobile detailing service operating throughout Knoxville, Farragut, Hardin Valley, Lenoir City, West Hills and surrounding areas.
How long does the protection last?
A sealant lasts based on how your car is stored. If your vehicle is kept in a garage for most of the time, it can last six months. But if your car is outside in direct sunlight and rain most of the time, it may only last three months. The life of the sealant will also degrade if you’re using harsh or aggressive cleaners.
Does this service remove scratches?
Wax does not remove scratches but can temporarily fill in very light swirl marks that helps reduce the appearance of them. If your vehicle has deeper scratches, paint correction is the best solution to remove them.
