Questions we get every week

If your question isn't here, call (555) 010-2030 and you'll get a straight answer from the person doing the work.

How long does a full detail take?

A full interior-and-exterior detail is usually 4 to 6 hours depending on size and condition. Paint correction and ceramic coating are 1 to 2 days, because the coating has to cure before the car goes back out.

Do you come to me, or do I drop off?

Both. Mobile service comes to your home or workplace — all we need is access to water for the exterior and an outlet for the interior. Or drop the car off at the shop and pick it up when it suits you.

How long does a ceramic coating really last?

Our coatings carry a 6+ year warranty when they're maintained with coating-safe washes. They are not scratch-proof — they resist chemical staining, oxidation and water spotting, and make the car far easier to clean.

Why does a detail cost more than a car wash?

A wash removes dirt. A detail decontaminates the paint, corrects defects and leaves protection behind, by hand, over hours. It's closer to reconditioning the car than cleaning it.

Why is pricing given as a range?

Size and condition decide the work. A two-seater in good shape and a three-row SUV with pet hair aren't the same job, so you get one firm quote before anything starts.

Can you get pet hair, stains and smells out?

Usually, yes. Hot-water extraction, steam and enzyme treatment handle most of it. Permanent dye stains and cigarette damage can only be improved — we'll tell you honestly what to expect before you book.

Do you take cars that haven't been cleaned in years?

Those are our favourite jobs. Heavily soiled vehicles need extra time, so send a couple of photos with your request and the quote will account for it.

Do you sell gift cards?

Yes — any service or any amount. Ask when you get in touch and we'll send one ready to hand over.

Ready when you are.
