Expert mobile exterior detailing delivered on-site,

Exterior Car Detailing
Our exterior detailing service is a methodical process designed to thoroughly restore and protect your vehicle’s paint. Far beyond a standard car wash, we perform a meticulous hand wash and use a clay treatment to safely lift bonded contaminants like road tar and tree sap that washing alone leaves behind. The service is completed with a high-quality wax application, restoring a deep gloss while adding a durable layer of protection against the elements.
With our expert technicians, you will get a true luxury experience at your home, office, or private garage. We coordinate access and HOA requirements, and we work around tight urban parking without compromising quality. No traffic, no waiting rooms, no rushed tunnel wash. Every exterior detail is custom tailored around your vehicle’s paint system and interior materials.

Improved Resale Value:
Looking to potentially trade-in or sell your vehicle? Maintenance detailing services preserve your vehicle's exterior and maximize its resale value.

Here's What Our Customers Are Saying
Harrison, from Berger Mobile Detailing just finished my Diamond Exterior Detailing. He is such a professional & gentleman.
His prices were better than most for his top-quality work. Just look at my chrome wheel covers; they look like new & so does the whole car! I give him 5 STARS & will definitely use him in the future. I didn't take a "before" pic, but it's never been detailed before today.
It hasn't been washed since 2022, was parked outside under a tree with lots of leaf debris baked into the finish & chrome wheels black with tarnish. Trust me, he's amazing! Thank you, Harrison, for making my car GLEAM!
I just moved to DC recently. I have never had my car detailed before and was referred to Berger Mobile Detailing by my coworker. Scheduling was easy, Great Customer Service and Excellent Results. I am extremely satisfied with the services provided and grateful to be driving in a clean car again!
I’ve had a professional and quality experience with Berger Mobile Detailing. They came to my job and saved me a lot of time and effort. I didn’t worry about going to a car wash and having to clean my car myself. Apart from that the detailers were very nice and professional. The best part about Berger Mobile Detailing is there 100% satisfaction guaranteed. They are willing to come back and redo the job if I didn’t like the quality, but fortunately I didn’t have to because they were great!
I can’t say enough good things about Berger Mobile Detailing! From start to finish, the experience was flawless. Mr. Berger came right on time.
What impressed me most was not just how spotless and shiny the cars turned out, but also the professionalism, friendliness, and pride he clearly takes in his work. He went above and beyond, paying attention to every little detail that most people would overlook. It’s rare to find someone this dedicated and passionate about what they do.
I needed a mobile detailer because of my work schedule. I hired Berger Mobile Detailing because of the reviews here on Google. Harrison was wonderful to work with. My car is a custom color Audi and I wanted quality work.
They did a very thorough detailing inside and out, using my garage as needed. The car looks amazing, the interior looks brand new and they didn't use anything that smelled perfumy or chemically which I really appreciated. The paint is slick and shiny and there's no wax in the cracks. Their work is excellent. I'm extremely happy and will use them again.
Never gotten my car detailed before, saw the reviews on Berger and gave them a try. I was so impressed by the quality of the work, my car looked like it just came off the lot inside and out. Also loved the level of professionalism and communication from Harrison. Very friendly and motivated business man. I am definitely sold on getting my car detailed more often and not letting anyone else touch my car but Harrison.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a car wash and an exterior detail?
A standard car wash just removes loose surface dirt. Our exterior auto detailing is a meticulous process that thoroughly cleans and decontaminates the paint, restores shine, and applies a protective layer of high-quality wax to shield your vehicle from the elements.
How long will the exterior detailing take at my home or office?
Our Exterior Detailing Service typically takes between 1 to 2 hours to complete. The exact time can vary slightly based on the size and current condition of your vehicle, but we always work efficiently to respect your time.
Do I need to provide water or power for your mobile car cleaning service?
Not at all. Our professional mobile detailing unit is fully self-contained with its own water, power, and all the premium products needed. We just need access to your vehicle and enough space to work safely.
How often should I get my car's exterior detailed?
To properly maintain your vehicle's paint and protect it from the specific environmental challenges prevalent in the DMV area, such as road salt and heavy pollen, we recommend a full exterior detail every 3 to 6 months. This preserves your car's value and keeps it looking its best throughout the year.
Can your detailing process remove stubborn spots, such as tree sap or road tar?
Yes, it's designed specifically for that. Our process includes a clay bar treatment that safely lifts and removes bonded surface contaminants, such as tree sap removal, tar, and industrial fallout, which a regular wash simply can't handle
Ready for Exterior Detailing that fits your schedule?
Skip the shop! Our team brings everything needed and gets to work with our proven process. Book in minutes, choose a time that fits, and keep your day moving while we handle the finish. Expect clear, upfront pricing and quick updates from start to shine. Your vehicle gets the VIP treatment without the hassle.
