Exterior Detailing FAQs

What will the final cost of getting a detail be?

The final cost will depend on starting rate of the services you want done to your vehicle, the size of the vehicle, and the condition of the vehicle. To receive an accurate estimate, we don't require pictures but they do help! Additional charges only apply in cases like excessive pet hair, heavy debris, or deep stains.

My vehicle isn't that bad, do you do discounts?

No, we charge based on the same starting rates and terms for all vehicles weather they are brand new or twenty years old. Most vehicles will be charged the starting rate. We upcharge at our discretion for excessive stains, pet hair or solids. We're more than happy to take care of a few specific things without going all out on a full detail.

What makes this better than the car washes up the road?

While the local car wash might be able to get surface debris off your paint, car washes can also put swirls and water spots on your vehicle, due to their inefficient automated washing and drying processes, paired with harsh chemicals to get the job done quickly. we perform a thorough clay bar treatment to remove all dirt off of your vehicle, and ensure that your vehicle will be dry after every wash we do.
