THE DETAILING GUIDE

A little know-how.
A much better detail.

Find the service your car needs. Then ask the right questions before you book.

Full detailing

A deeper clean inside and out. Usually includes a careful exterior wash, wheels, vacuuming, and interior surfaces. Every shop defines its package differently.

Before you book

Ask what is included, how stains are handled, and whether decontamination or protection costs extra.

Interior detailing

For the part of the car you live in. Work may include fabric or leather cleaning, carpet extraction, hard surfaces, and the small spaces a regular vacuum misses.

Before you book

Point out stains, pet hair, odors, and sensitive materials before getting a quote.

Ceramic coating

A coating applied to prepared surfaces to help with water repellency and easier cleaning. It does not make paint immune to scratches or remove the need to wash.

Before you book

Ask which product is used, what preparation is included, and what maintenance the warranty requires.

Paint correction

Machine polishing to reduce visible swirls, oxidation, and other paint defects. The right approach depends on the paint and its condition.

Before you book

Ask for an inspection and realistic expectations. More aggressive correction removes more clear coat.
