Exterior Detailing in Selden starts at $200 for a coupe or sedan — a real starting price, with upcharges named before we start rather than added after. Winter road salt is the serious one. It gets into every seam and door shut and keeps working long after the roads are clear. We run mobile at your home or office, at the shop, or with pickup and dropoff.
What Selden does to a car
Winter road salt is the serious one. It gets into every seam and door shut and keeps working long after the roads are clear. Highway mileage means embedded brake and rail dust bonded into the paint — contamination a wash cannot lift and chemical decontamination can.
Which is why chemical decontamination is included — embedded iron does not wash off, and sealing over it just locks the problem in.
Locally that plays out along Middle Country Road and Suffolk County Community College , and around Boyle Road. Those are the roads and places the cars we work on in Selden actually spend their time, and it shows in what we find at the walkaround.
How we cover Selden
Selden is about 5 miles out, well inside our 25-mile mobile radius. That buys you a tight arrival window and same-week availability.
All we need is a parking space. We carry our own water, so nothing else is needed from you.
What’s included
| Package | Coupe / Sedan | SUV / Truck | Minivan / 3rd-Row SUV | Time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Express Detail | $200 | $225 | $250 | 1.5–2 hours |
| Deep Interior + Exterior Hand Wash | $350 | $450 | $450 | About 3 hours |
All prices are starting prices. Heavy staining, pet hair, sand and salt buildup add time, and we quote that before we start — never after.

Where Selden sits
Exterior Detailing in Selden — questions
Do you actually cover Selden?
Yes. Selden is about 5 miles from our Medford shop, roughly a 10-minute drive, and inside our 25-mile mobile service area. You can also bring the car to the shop or have us pick it up.
How far is your shop from Selden?
About 5 miles — call it 10 minutes door to door. We are at 266 Middle Island Rd Suite 7 in Medford, near LIE Exit 64. Traffic on Middle Country Road can move that either way.
Will this remove scratches?
No. A wash and wax hides very fine marks temporarily but removes nothing. Removing defects is paint correction.
Is this better than an automatic car wash?
It is a different thing. Tunnels use the same brushes on every car and are the main source of swirl marks. A hand wash with foam pre-soak and two buckets is how you avoid adding damage.
How often should I have this done?
Every 8 to 12 weeks for most cars. Every 6 for a car that lives outside, plus a rinse during salt season.
