⚡ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How long does a detail take?
A: Most full vehicle details take 2–4 hours depending on size and condition. More advanced services like paint correction can take 6-8 hours or more.
Q2: Do you provide mobile service?
A: Yes, mobile detailing is available to meet customers at their home or workplace. We just need access to power and water (unless we state we are fully self-contained).
Q3: What forms of payment are accepted?
A: Payment options typically include cash, credit/debit cards, and popular mobile payment apps like Zelle or Cash App.
Q4: How often should I have my vehicle detailed?
A: Generally, vehicles benefit from a full detail every 3-6 months. Lighter maintenance washes are recommended every 2-4 weeks.
Q5: Are there subscription or recurring service options?
A: Yes, we offer monthly or bi-weekly maintenance plans at a discounted rate to keep your car in perfect condition year-round.
Q6: What does a "full detail" include?
A: A full detail includes a comprehensive interior and exterior service. This means vacuuming, steam cleaning, upholstery shampoo, leather conditioning, exterior wash, clay bar, wax or sealant, tire dressing, and window cleaning.
Q7: Can I request interior-only or exterior-only service?
A: Absolutely. We offer packages for interior-only or exterior-only detailing to fit your specific needs.
Q8: Can pet hair be removed?
A: Yes, we have specialized tools and techniques to remove stubborn pet hair from carpets and upholstery. Note that excessive pet hair may incur an additional fee.
Q9: Are eco-friendly products used?
A: We prioritize using high-quality, biodegradable, and environmentally safe cleaning products that are effective and safe for your vehicle and the planet.
Q10: Can scratches and swirl marks be fixed?
A: Yes. Our "paint correction" service is specifically designed to remove light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation by carefully polishing the clear coat.
Q11: Do you clean wheels and tires?
A: Yes, every exterior detail includes a deep cleaning of the wheel faces, inner barrels, and tires, finished with a non-sling tire dressing.
Q12: Can odors be removed from the interior?
A: Yes, we can treat and remove most odors (like smoke, mildew, or food) using deep cleaning, steam, and ozone generators or foggers.
Q13: Is waxing included?
A: A high-quality sealant or wax is included in all our exterior and full detail packages to provide protection and shine.
Q14: What is a ceramic coating?
A: A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with the vehicle's paint, creating a long-lasting, durable layer of protection that is hydrophobic and enhances gloss.
Q15: How long does a ceramic coating last?
A: Depending on the product and maintenance, ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 1 to 5+ years, far longer than traditional waxes or sealants.
Q16: What is a "clay bar" treatment?
A: A clay bar is used to remove contaminants embedded in the paint (like industrial fallout, sap, or tar) that washing alone cannot remove. It makes the paint feel perfectly smooth.
Q17: Do I need to empty my car before the service?
A: Yes, please remove all personal belongings from the interior, including the trunk and glove box, so we can clean all areas thoroughly.
Q18: What happens if it rains on my mobile appointment day?
A: If we cannot work in a garage or covered area, we will gladly reschedule your appointment for the next clear-weather day at no charge.
Q19: Can detailing increase my car's resale value?
A: Absolutely! A professionally detailed car looks newer and well-maintained, which can significantly increase its perceived value and resale price.
Q20: Do you clean engine bays?
A: Yes, we offer engine bay detailing as an add-on service. We safely clean and dress the engine compartment to remove grease and grime.
Q21: Can you remove tough stains like coffee or ink?
A: We use professional-grade spot removers and extractors to tackle tough stains. While we have a high success rate, some old or set-in stains may not be 100% removable.
Q22: My headlights are foggy. Can you fix that?
A: Yes, we offer a headlight restoration service. We sand, compound, and polish the lenses to remove oxidation and restore clarity, then seal them with a UV protectant.
Q23: What's the difference between polishing and waxing?
A: Polishing is an *abrasive* process that removes imperfections like swirls and scratches. Waxing is a *protective* process that adds a non-abrasive layer of shine and protection on top of the paint.
Q24: Do you offer any guarantees on your work?
A: We are committed to 100% customer satisfaction. If you are not happy with any part of our service.

When you look at your car under the sun, do you see a deep, wet gloss, or do you see a web of swirl marks and dull paint? As a car owner, you know you should protect your paint, but walking down the detailing aisle (or browsing online forums) can be overwhelming. There are pastes, sprays, liquids, and "nano" coatings everywhere.At [Your Company Name], we believe in educating our clients so they can make the best choice for their vehicle and budget. Today, we are diving deep into the three main categories of paint protection: Carnauba Wax, Synthetic Sealants, and Ceramic Coatings.1. Carnauba Wax: The Old School Glow
For decades, Carnauba wax was the gold standard. Sourced from Brazilian palm trees, this natural wax provides a warm, deep glow that enthusiasts love, especially on black and red cars.
Pros: It fills in very minor imperfections, making paint look dripping wet. It’s also generally the most affordable option.Cons: It is not durable. In hot climates, natural wax can evaporate or melt off the paint in as little as 3-6 weeks. It offers minimal protection against chemicals or bird droppings.Best For: Show cars or "garage queens" that are rarely driven.2. Paint Sealants: The Synthetic Upgrade
Paint sealants are chemically engineered to bond to the surface of your paint. Unlike natural waxes, they are designed to withstand high heat and UV rays.
Pros: Longevity is significantly better than wax, typically lasting 4-6 months. They provide a glassy, sharp reflection rather than a warm glow.Cons: They still sit on top of the clear coat and will eventually wash away with harsh soaps or environmental exposure.Best For: Daily drivers who want decent protection without the higher cost of a ceramic coating.3. Ceramic Coating: The Modern Armor
If you frequent detailing communities like r/AutoDetailing, you know that Ceramic Coating is the current king of protection. This is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with the vehicle's factory paint, creating a layer of protection that is semi-permanent.
Pros:Extreme Durability: Professional coatings can last 2-5 years (or more).Hydrophobic Properties: Water beads up and rolls off, taking dirt with it. This makes your car stay cleaner longer and makes washing it incredibly easy.Chemical Resistance: It protects against acidic bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap better than any wax.Cons: It is the most expensive option due to the labor involved (paint correction is usually required first) and the cost of the materials.Best For: New cars you want to keep looking new, or anyone who hates waxing their car every month.Why "Paint Correction" Comes First
You cannot apply a high-end ceramic coating over scratched paint. It will lock the scratches in! This is why we perform a process called Paint Correction (polishing) to remove swirl marks before coating. For deep dives on how professionals achieve defect-free paint, check out the discussions on Autogeek Online, a hub for professional detailers.
Conclusion: Which is Right for You?
If you lease your car for 2 years or just want a quick shine for the weekend, a Sealant or Wax is a great choice. But if you plan to keep your vehicle and want the ultimate gloss and protection that repels dirt and water, Ceramic Coating is the investment that pays off every time you look at your car.

We recently hired Mikey to detail our car to get it ready for baby #3, and we couldn’t be happier with the results!

Every crack and crevice is spotless, and it honestly feels like a brand new vehicle.

If all four of these points are 100% confirmed, the menu *must* work to open, and the navigation links must work to close and scroll. If it still fails, the only remaining solution is to use a **different element entirely** for the links (like a button) and use a completely separate Embed element for the navigation, which adds significant complexity.
