How long does a full detail take?
About 3 hours for a sedan. Bigger or very dirty cars can take longer. We confirm the time when you book.
Do you need a water source?
No. We bring our own water, power and equipment. We can work in your driveway, in your office parking lot, at your apartment complex or at your hotel.
Are you applying wax on my paint?
Yes. Every full detail ends with a ceramic spray wax. It adds gloss and helps water roll off the paint. It lasts weeks, not years. For protection that lasts years, ask about ceramic coating.
What is clay, and do I need it?
A clay bar is a soft bar that looks like putty. We glide it over the paint with a slick spray. It pulls out tiny bits that washing leaves behind, like brake dust, tree sap and road grime. After clay, the paint feels smooth as glass.
Quick test: after a wash, run your hand over the paint. If it feels rough, clay will help. Clay comes in these packages:
Starting at
$299
for a sedan
Everything in our full detail, plus a clay bar treatment on the paint. We can work in your driveway, in your office parking lot, at your apartment complex or at your hotel.
Starting at

This one also adds steam cleaning inside, an ozone treatment for odors, and a deep shampoo of seats, carpets and floor mats with a professional extractor, a machine that pulls the dirt and soap back out of the fabric.
