Exodus Detailing specializes in two things and does them well: meticulous full-vehicle detailing and professional-grade ceramic coating. No upsells, no shortcuts — just careful work on every car.
Full interior and exterior detailing for cars, trucks, SUVs, and small commercial vehicles throughout the Hickory region. Hand-wash, decontamination, paint correction, and protection — done in a single visit.
Professional-grade ceramic coating that bonds to your paint and protects against UV, road grime, water spots, and minor swirl marks. The slick, hydrophobic finish keeps your vehicle cleaner between washes for years — not months.
Exodus Detailing started for one reason: too many "detailers" in the Hickory area were charging premium prices for what was really just a fancy carwash. We wanted to do it properly — the way a true enthusiast would do their own vehicle — and offer that to every customer.
Every job gets the same careful approach: a real walk-around with the owner, an honest assessment of what the paint and interior actually need, transparent pricing, and meticulous execution. The before-and-after photos do the talking after that.

Ed did an unbelievable job on my F-150. Truck had two years of jobsite dirt baked into the interior and it came back looking like the day I drove it off the lot. Worth every dollar.
I'd been driving through automated washes for years and finally tried Exodus after a coworker recommended them. The difference in how my Tesla looks now is night and day — water beads right off, and I can go weeks between rinses.
Found Exodus through Google when I needed my Camaro cleaned up before selling it. Ed came out, gave me a real estimate, and turned the car around in one day. Buyer paid asking price the same week.
We have two vehicles and Ed ceramic-coated both. Two years in and they still look freshly waxed. Honest pricing, no upsell pressure, and the work speaks for itself.
Booked a wash and wax on a 4Runner that had been sitting outside through pollen season. The before-and-after photos Ed texted me were embarrassing for the truck. Showroom finish at the end.
My toddler had turned the back seat of my SUV into a snack-cracker disaster zone. Ed steam-cleaned the upholstery, conditioned the leather, and somehow made the third row look brand new. Already booked the next one.

A wash removes loose dirt and grime from the exterior — usually finished in 30–60 minutes. A full detail goes deeper: decontamination, interior steam-cleaning, leather conditioning, polish, and protection — typically 3–6 hours of hands-on work. Ceramic coating is a long-term paint protection product that bonds to your vehicle's clear coat and resists water, UV, and chemical stains for years, not months. Exodus Detailing offers all three across the Hickory NC region.
Most drivers in the Hickory NC area benefit from a full detail every 4–6 months — once in spring after pollen season and once in fall before the winter road-treatment season begins. Vehicles parked outdoors, used for towing, or driven on rural roads may need more frequent service. Ceramic-coated vehicles stretch that interval significantly because protection is already in place.
Yes. Exodus Detailing serves customers throughout Catawba, Caldwell, Alexander, and Wilkes Counties — including Hickory, Lenoir, Taylorsville, Granite Falls, Hudson, and surrounding communities. Travel within the regular service area carries no surcharge. Call (828) 729-3169 to schedule a visit at your home or office.
A standard full detail on a sedan typically takes 3–4 hours. SUVs, trucks, and larger vehicles run 4–6 hours. Single-stage ceramic coating applications usually take a full day, and multi-stage paint correction with ceramic can run 1–3 days depending on paint condition. Every estimate from Exodus Detailing includes a clear time window so you can plan around it.
For most vehicles in the Hickory NC region, yes — particularly newer cars whose paint is still in good shape and daily drivers exposed to pollen, road salt, and lake-water mineral deposits. A quality ceramic coating delivered by a trained applicator protects the clear coat for 2–5 years, makes weekly maintenance dramatically easier, and meaningfully improves resale appearance. Exodus Detailing offers single-stage and multi-stage ceramic packages and will give you a straight answer about whether your specific vehicle is a good candidate.
Yes. Exodus Detailing regularly details pickups (F-150, Silverado, Tundra, Ram), SUVs (4Runner, Tahoe, Suburban, Expedition), and small commercial vehicles throughout the Catawba Valley. Pricing scales with vehicle size and interior condition — pricing for an oversized truck is roughly 30–50% higher than a midsize sedan for the same package.
Most swirl marks and light scratches can be removed through a paint-correction process: clay-bar decontamination, machine polishing with multiple compounds, and finishing pads to restore depth and clarity. Deeper scratches that have penetrated the clear coat into the base color may need touch-up or panel repair — Exodus Detailing will tell you honestly during the estimate whether correction alone will get the result you want.
