FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A DETAILING APPOINTMENT?

Typically during a detailing appointment, the interior and exterior of the car are inspected. The interior may include vacuuming carpets and upholstery, wiping down any surfaces such as the dashboard and door panels, scrubbing away any stains - such as spills, dirt, or pet hair - from seats, and applying a protectant to the dash and door panels.
Exterior work may include a clay bar treatment, a thorough hand car wash with a two-bucket method, cleaning any wheel wells or engine bays, waxing or polishing metal parts such as bumpers and side mirrors, applying a sealant to the paint, and applying tire dressing.

IS DETAILING A CAR WORTH IT?

Absolutely! There are many benefits to having a car detailed, and not just for cosmetic purposes. A car detail service will make a used vehicle look new, and it will give the interior an opportunity to breathe (removing harmful contaminants such as smoke odors can be very beneficial).

The exterior of the vehicle will benefit greatly from auto detailing services as well. Detailing will remove any hard contaminants that may have gotten on the paint over time, including tree sap, spilled liquids, or bird droppings. It makes for an excellent way to protect your new paint job!

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF MOBILE AUTO DETAILING?

The purpose of an auto detail service may vary from person to person. However, here are some of the most common reasons people choose to detail their cars:

Cosmetic - A new paint job, for example, is a great time to have your car detailed. This will ensure that it's free of contaminants that may have gotten on the vehicle over time. After all, you just paid a lot of money for your new car, so why wouldn't you want to protect it?
Maintenance - The interior and exterior of a car require maintenance from time to time. If the vehicle is getting old or you haven't had it professionally detailed in a while, now may be a good time to have the work done! It's a good idea to detail your car before putting it up for sale. This will ensure that the vehicle looks as good as possible, making it more attractive to future buyers.
Maintain Value - It is a great way to maintain the value of your vehicle. If you have an older model car that you plan on keeping for some time, it's definitely worth it to get the exterior and interior detailed every couple of years. This will keep your vehicle looking newer, which means its value won't decrease any time soon!

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY CAR DETAILED?

This all depends on how often you drive your vehicle. If you have a daily driver, it's best to get the exterior professionally detailed every 3-6 months. An annual detail is a good idea for classic or newer models that will be going up for sale within the year.

The inside should also be cleaned every 1-3 months to keep your vehicle looking its best. This includes interior cleaning products to remove dirt, mildew, and odors.

This service is a wonderful way to keep your car looking new and protection for your paintwork for years - even decades!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE US TO DETAIL A CAR?

The length of time to detail a car varies depending on the type and condition of your car. Generally, it will take around 4 hours to complete a full detailing.

CAN CAR DETAILERS BUFF OUT SCRACTHES?

Yes, absolutely. This is a process know as paint correction. Paint correcting is the process of using "pads" to remove an extremly thing layer of clear coat from the top of your vehcile. This process usually results in a near perfect finish on your vehicle. However this may not always be the case. If the paint is heavily damaged (aka into the paint or completely through to the sheet metal on your vehicle) this process may not remove those deeply imbedded imperfections. This is a different process entirely.
