Our Premium Detailing Services

Paint Correction

Restore your vehicle’s paint with our multi-stage correction service. We remove scratches, swirls, and oxidation, then protect with ceramic coating—enhancing gloss, longevity, and resale value for years.

Ceramic Coating

Protect your vehicle with a premium ceramic coating. Shield rain, dirt, and UV rays while delivering lasting gloss, hydrophobic protection, and a stunning, long-lasting showroom finish.

Full Interior Detail

A deep cleaning of your car’s interior to remove the stains, blemishes, pet hair, and other daily imperfections. We turn your interior from really dirty to clean for a comfortable driving experience.

Wash and Wax

Need to hit the reset button on your car’s paint? This service removes contaminants and adds a smooth layer of protection to keep your paint looking fresh. Great to do once or twice a year.

Mini Interior Detail

This is perfect for maintaining a well-kept car. It’s a quick yet effective touch-up to keep things up-to-standard. If you want to keep your car’s interior up to standard throughout the month, this is for you.

Odor Removal

Dealing with lingering smells from pets, food, or smoke? This helps reduce and eliminate those unwanted odors to make your drive more comfortable.

Premium Wash

A thorough, swirl-free hand wash. We use quality tools and proper washing and drying methods to deliver quality results. Much safer and effective than a tunnel wash.

Headlight Restoration

Cloudy headlights not only look bad, they also limit nighttime visibility. We’ll remove the dull haze via sanding and polishing to bring back the clarity so you can drive safer (while improving the aesthetics).

Engine Bay Cleaning

We’ll safely clean off gunk and grease without causing damage. It can help make maintenance easier and even reveal leaks or worn parts.

Paint Overspray Removal

Does your paint feel rough or gritty? This is paint overspray. We’ll safely remove it from the paint, glass, wheels to restore the smooth-paint finish.

Common Detailing Mistakes We Often See

When vehicles are well cared for, they’re easier to detail and maintain. But over the years, we’ve seen a few common missteps that can actually hurt your car more than help it.

Poor Washing and Drying Techniques
Using old bath towels, dirty rags, or low-quality wash mitts is a surefire way to swirl your paint. These materials tend to trap dirt and drag it across your car, leaving swirls and marks that dull the finish over time.

Creating Holograms After Polishing
Polishing your paint should leave it smooth and clean—not streaky or patchy. But if you use the wrong pad or technique (especially with a rotary polisher), you might create holograms. These ghost-like patterns smear across the paint and stick around until corrected properly.

Aggressive Overspray Removal
When someone sees overspray on their car, the first instinct is to scrub it off. We’ve seen people use steel wool, rough pads, or wire brushes—and it usually ends with deep scratches, swirls, and the overspray still stuck there. There’s a right way to handle it, and it takes the right tools and experience.

Ignoring Bug Splatter and Bird Droppings
Bugs and bird-droppings might seem harmless at first, but give them time and they’ll etch into the paint. If they’re left too long, even a machine polish might not remove the damage. Always wipe these off as soon as you can to avoid permanent marks.

No Final Checks
We often see cars returned to clients without one last inspection to make sure nothing was missed.

Poor Client Communication
Customers are left guessing what was done, what wasn’t, or what to expect next.

No Pre-Paint Correction Measurement
Skipping paint depth readings can risk burning through clear coat, especially on older or repainted vehicles.

No Fit-to-Car Value Assessment
One-size-fits-all services often ignore what the car actually needs—or doesn’t.

No Test Spots Before Paint Work
Rushing into polishing or coating without testing leads to streaks, uneven gloss, or wasted time.

Auto Detailing FAQs

  • We accept cash, cards, Apple and Google Pay, Venmo, and Zelle.

  • Not really. We just need access to the vehicle and a spot to work. You can go about your day while we handle the detail.

  • Prices vary depending on the service and condition of the vehicle. Full details with paint correction and ceramic coating can exceed $1,000, while interior-only jobs might start at $50. We provide estimates tailored to your needs.

  • For daily drivers, we recommend a full detail every 4–6 months. Maintenance washes and mini interiors can be done more frequently to keep things tidy.

  • Drive-through car washes are quick, but they’re tough on your paint. Those big felt strips drag dirt across the surface, leaving swirl marks and missing spots on your wheels and trim. Professional detailing is gentler, safer, and gets real results.

  • If there’s an opening, we’ll try to make it happen! Call or submit the online form and we’ll let you know what’s available.

  • We sure do. Our mobile unit is fully equipped to work anywhere—we just need space around the car to get to work.

High-Quality Detailing Standards

We treat every car like it’s our own. It all starts with a thorough inspection to pinpoint the spots that need extra love—whether that’s the wheels, the interior, or under the hood. Yep, we even clean the engine bay to make sure no part of your vehicle gets overlooked.

When it’s time to clean, we go all in with pro-level techniques. The two-bucket wash method? Standard. Clay bar treatment? Absolutely. These steps help us eliminate hidden grime and leave your paint feeling silky smooth.

Once the detail is done, we don’t just call it a day. We check your car under multiple lighting angles to catch anything we might’ve missed. The result? A spotless, showroom-worthy finish that’ll make you fall in love with your car all over again.

When you choose us, you’re not just getting a clean car—you’re getting a detail that’s done right, every time.
