Which package is right for me?

It depends on what your vehicle needs. If it just needs lighter upkeep to stay in good condition between full details, that is Maintenance Detailing. If it needs a full reset inside and out, look at the Entry Level Clean or the Advanced Deep Clean. Mainly the inside points to the Interior Clean Only or the Interior Deep Clean. Mainly the outside points to the Exterior Clean with Wax, or the Hand Wash and Wash and Refresh for a quick clean. Or open the chat on this site and answer three quick questions, and it will recommend a package for you.

What is the difference between Maintenance Detailing and a full detail?

Maintenance Detailing is the lighter upkeep package. It keeps your vehicle in good condition between full details, with an exterior hand wash and dry, wheels and tires cleaned, tire shine, door jambs wiped down, an interior vacuum and an interior wipe down. The full detailing packages go deeper. They are the in depth option, a full reset for the whole vehicle.

What is the difference between Polishing and Paint Correction?

Polishing, from $200, is for vehicles with light swirl marks that need minor paint correction. Paint Correction, from $350, is the heavier work: compounding and polishing remove deeper paint defects and refine the surface to a mirror like appearance. Both are topped off with an entry level 1 year ceramic coating.

How long does a detail take?

Maintenance Detailing takes about 2 hrs 30 min. The Entry Level Clean and the interior packages take about 5 hrs. The Advanced Deep Clean takes about 6 hrs. Exterior Clean with Wax, Polishing, Paint Correction and Motorcycle Detailing take about 4 hrs each. Ceramic coating takes about 24 hrs. Engine Bay Clean and Headlight Restoration take about 1 hr, and Soft Top Cleaning about 2 hrs. Boat timing varies with the boat.

Do you charge extra for pet hair?

Excessive pet hair is an extra charge on any package, because of the extra time needed for removal. If your vehicle carries a lot of pet hair, the Advanced Deep Clean or the Interior Deep Clean will handle it best.
