Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a detail take?
For a normal interior and exterior detailing, it can take anywhere from 1-2 days depending on the condition of the car and how much work is needed. For certain services we may need the car over 2 days.
For a paint correction and polish we like to keep the car for at least 3-4 days to make absolute sure the paint reaches the best result possible.
A ceramic coating is a multi-step process that begins with paint correction. The ceramic coating must then have time to cure before driving the car. In total, a ceramic coating will take 5-7 days.
How thorough is the cleaning service?
We are incredibly thorough with our cleaning and do not leave an inch of the car dirty. We clean areas in the interior such as under seats, storage spaces, trunks, seats, dashboards, center consoles, door panels, door jams, and windows. On the exterior, we make sure the paint is in the best condition and comes out as healthy and shiny as possible. Wheels, windows, underbody, paint, and trim are cleaned and restored to the best condition possible.
What kind of cermaic coating do you use?
Our ceramic coating is a 10H hardness coating made out of graphene, one of the strongest ceramic coatings out there!
It offers top of the line water resistance, glossiness, and UV protection and some of the best resistance for bird droppings, scratches, bugs, dirt, and minor rock chips.
How do I maintain my cars paint?
To prevent any scratches to your paint job you can get a ceramic coating, offering 100% protection to the paint job.
Other than a ceramic coating, there aren't many ways to protect your paint. There are ways to try and prevent scratches such as avoiding contact with the paint, not using automatic car washes, and have your car professionally cleaned for proper paint management.
