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 singl...
Auto detailing is the difference between a wash and a restoration. At Exodus Detailing, every full detail starts with iron and clay decontamination, moves through hand-wash with grit guards, then runs through interior steam-cleaning, leather conditioning, plastic and trim restoration, and a final polish-and-protect on the paint.
We work on cars, trucks, SUVs, and small commercial vehicles across the Hickory NC region. Most full details are completed same-day. Mobile service available throughout Catawba, Caldwell, Alexander, and Wilkes Counties at no extra charge.
No automated machines, no shared mitts. Two-bucket method with grit guards — the safe way to wash without inducing micro-scratches.
Iron remover + clay bar treatment lifts the contaminants a normal wash leaves behind. The paint feels glass-smooth at the end.
Most full details finish in 4–6 hours. We schedule one job per day so your vehicle isn't sitting overnight waiting for attention.

All packages include a walk-through with the owner at the end.
Sedans take 3–4 hours for a full detail. Trucks and SUVs typically run 4–6 hours. Vehicles needing significant interior remediation (pet hair, deep stains, heavy odor) may need a full day. We schedule one detail per day so your vehicle gets full attention.
Yes. Exodus Detailing brings water, power, and all supplies to your home or office across Catawba, Caldwell, Alexander, and Wilkes Counties. There's no travel surcharge within our standard service area. We typically just need access to a level driveway or parking spot.
Most drivers benefit from a full detail every 4–6 months — once in spring after pollen season and once before winter road-treatment season. Daily drivers, vehicles parked outdoors, and tow vehicles may need more frequent service. Ceramic-coated vehicles can go significantly longer between full details because protection is already in place.
Yes. Pet hair removal involves multi-stage extraction — vacuuming with a fine attachment, then a rubber brush pass to lift embedded hair from carpet fibers, then a steam-clean to loosen anything that remains. Food stains and most odors come out with steam and the right enzymatic cleaners. Heavy smoke or biological odors may need an ozone treatment as an add-on.
Yes. We regularly detail F-150s, Silverados, Tahoes, Suburbans, Tundras, and full-size Expeditions in the Hickory region. Pricing scales with vehicle size — an oversized SUV typically runs 30–50% higher than a midsize sedan for the same package. The work is the same; there's just more surface to cover.

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.
