detailing FAQs

Its common to have questions regarding detailing processes and expectations you should have when we are going to work on your car. Its to your advantage to be as educated as possible!

When you run your car through the local $8 wash tunnel you are putting it at risk for a very harsh treatment. Massive swirling brushes contaminated with whoever's mud-bogger was ahead of your car, harsh chemicals and treatments that have negative effects on the surface of your clear coat and the grand finale, some kids at the other end with day-old, terry-cloth towels eager to scratch your clear coat. Your car is worth so much more than that!

Your Investment + Your Time.
Professional detailing is the most effective way of preserving the investment you've made in a vehicle (next to regular scheduled service). It is a fact that well maintained cars are regarded with more prestige from onlookers, with higher trade-in value from dealerships and provoke service shops to take extra consideration when repairing your vehicle.

Our services provide you with a way to retain your vehicle's value and will alleviate the burden of having to set aside time to clean your car and allows you to focus on work, family, and your personal life. ts|s Detailing will bring our service to your car, so all you have to do is hand us the keys!

What is "detailing?"
Detailing is a general term used to define a meticulous "face lift" process for your car's paint, engine and interior/upholstery. Detailing will give your car a brand new look on the inside and outside, increase its value and add satisfaction to your commute. Exterior detailing will remove haze and swirl marks from your paint, making its reflection brilliant and flawless. Interior detailing will remove stains, odors, dust and debris, as well as soften and rejuvenate leather surfaces to a supple/rich feeling. Engine Detailing removes years of road dust, grime and grease and protects the engine from future deterioration from sediment.

How long does detailing take?
The duration of the job is based on the condition of the car. Our service might require anywhere from 4-10 hours to properly recondition the inside, outside and engine bay of your vehicle.

What can I expect?
Look at the series of photos below, showing the before and after effects of paint correction. Now look at the sun's glare on your car: Do you notice the swirls or "spider webs" from improper washing over years (or even months)? Our detailing job will remove those swirls, making the paint brilliant and glossy, then cap the whole thing off with a protective sealant to prevent UV and other environmental damage.

What is a clay bar?
Clay bars are a soft, malleable putty that decontaminates the paint. The clay glides over the paint surface removing embedded impurities like tree sap, brake dust, road paint and pollen that traditional hand washing techniques simply have no effect on. Once these impurities are removed, the car is properly prepped for polishing or waxing and will have a much smoother finish across the surface that you can actually FEEL! Look at the image below to see how much dirt the clay bar picks up in just a few short swipes. Not many local detailers take the time to perform this crucial step.

What is headlight restoration?
Restoring your headlights adds luster to the front end of your vehicle and helps you see clearly when driving at night. The process includes removing environmental oxidation from UV exposure and polishing the lens covers until they are flawless and clear.

What is a neglected fee?
