What is Auto Detailing?

The term "auto detailing" refers to the act (we call it "art"!) of cleaning and polishing a vehicle to make it look like new again. It can be used for anything from exceptional maintenance and removing stains to an extensive process that includes everything from waxing and buffing to cleaning the inside of your car's engine compartment. It can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days depending on how dirty your car is and what level of detail you're looking for.

What is the difference between an auto detailer and a car wash?

Auto detailing is a much more involved process than a car wash, and it requires specialized tools, products and equipment. We, as professional car detailers, take more time to clean your car than you would at the drive-through car wash. We use specialized vacuums with soft brush attachments for cleaning upholstery; steam cleaners for removing stubborn dirt from carpets; use sealants and other products that protect against weathering; interior odor eliminators; leather conditioners; glass cleaners that remove stubborn stains from windows...the list goes on!

What is Ceramic Coating?

​

Ceramic coating is a type of protective coating that is applied to a car's exterior surface to provide an additional layer of protection against environmental elements, such as UV rays, dirt, dust, and water. The ceramic coating is made of a liquid polymer that, once applied, chemically bonds with the car's paintwork, forming a hard and durable layer that can last for several years.

​

Another advantage of ceramic coatings is their ability to enhance a car's appearance. The coating creates a high-gloss finish that makes the paintwork appear more vibrant and reflective. This effect is known as the "wet look," and it can make a car look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.

​

How much does auto detailing cost?

Auto detailing is a luxury, but it's worth the money. The cost of car detailing depends on the size of your vehicle and what services you want done to it. On average, auto detailing costs $160-$220 per generic

maintenance visit and $400-800 for corrective or protective services (ceramic coating protections, paint correction etc)

​

Can car detailing remove scratches?

​

Auto detailing can improve the appearance of scratches but may not completely remove deep ones. Detailing involves polishing and waxing, which can diminish the visibility of light surface scratches. For deeper scratches, specialized techniques like compounding or wet sanding may be necessary. Professional detailers assess the severity of scratches and apply appropriate methods to enhance the car's finish, but complete removal depends on factors like the depth and extent of the damage.

​

​

Can Auto Detailing remove smoke smell?

​

Auto detailing is adept at minimizing or eliminating smoke smells in a vehicle. Detailers employ deep cleaning methods, including upholstery shampooing, ozone treatment, and thorough ventilation system cleaning to neutralize and remove lingering smoke odors. While complete removal depends on the severity, professional detailing significantly improves the interior air quality and reduces the impact of smoke-related smells, making it an effective solution for refreshing and deodorizing the vehicle.

​

​

Can Car Detailing fix paint chips?

​

Car detailing can improve the appearance of paint chips by employing touch-up techniques like spot painting or using specialized products to fill in small blemishes. While detailing can enhance the visual appeal, it may not completely repair deep or extensive paint damage. For more significant issues, professional paint touch-up or repainting services may be required. Detailing is beneficial for maintaining a polished look and preventing further deterioration, but complete restoration depends on the extent of the paint damage.
