Built on a genuine love for cars. Owned and operated by Ed Weidman, serving the Hickory region with meticulous mobile detailing and ceramic coating since 2020.
Exodus Detailing started for the same reason most good shops start — because nothing in the area was quite doing what we wanted to see done. Premium prices were being charged for what amounted to a fancy carwash, and the term "ceramic coating" was being thrown around for products that wouldn't last a season.
We do detail work the way an enthusiast would do their own car. Hand-wash only with grit guards and two-bucket method. Iron and clay decontamination before any polishing happens. Steam-cleaning for interiors instead of harsh chemicals on contact surfaces. And when a customer asks about ceramic coating, they get a real professional product applied by a trained applicator — not a $40 spray-on consumer kit being labeled as "ceramic."
Every job starts with a free, no-pressure walk-around. The customer sees exactly what we're going to do and gets a firm price before any work begins. There are no surprise charges at the end, and there are no upsells partway through. If a single-stage polish is going to get 90% of the result of a multi-stage correction, we'll tell you that.
No automated machines, no shared wash mitts, no one-size-fits-all approach. Every panel hand-cleaned with the right products for that specific paint and finish.
Free on-site walk-around. Firm written price before we touch the vehicle. No surprise charges, no add-ons partway through, no pressure to upgrade.
You'll hear back same-day. We send before-and-after photos. And we do a walk-through together at the end so you can see exactly what changed and ask questions.
