Frequently Asked Questions

Q.  How often should I detail my car?
A.  In an ideal world everyone should detail their cars every week or two, and wax every 3 months. Unfortunately not everyone can afford such a way of life. However, the more frequently you can detail your car the longer you can prolong things such as; paint from fading, swirl marks, salt stains, bug/bird dropping/acid rain damage, brake/rail dust buildup, pitted rims, yellow/foggy head lights, and much more.

Q.  How Long does wax last for?
A.  Honestly, it will vary from vehicle to vehicle. But a good traditional carnauba wax can last close to 3-4 months, and synthetic waxes can last as much as 5-6 months depending on how well the car is taken car of. Which is why we recommend to wax with every season.

Q.  Do you shampoo cars?
A.
  Yes, we shampoo the upholstery and floor mats using whichever technique is required in the moment.

 Q. Which detail package do I need?
A.
 If you're looking to spiff up your car to sell, I would recommend our "Basic Detail Package". If you're keeping your car and looking for a great cleaning with a quality wax, I recommend either our "Premium Detail Package" or our "Ultra Detail Package".

Q.  What is a clay bar?
A.  A clay bar is special clay made for removing contaminates that are too small to see with the naked eye. These contaminates bond to the paint of a vehicle, and will not come off from a standard wash. It may increase the gloss, smoothness, and overall quality of the paint if there is an overabundance of contamination.

Q.  How do I tell if my car needs a clay bar treatment?
A.
  To tell if your car requires a clay bar treatment, use either a latex/nitril glove or a baggie with your hand inside and gently rub the paint. If you can feel a rough surface, or hear any rough sound chances are you require a clay bar treatment. It should be noted that matte paint cannot be clayed. 

Q. What payment options do you accept?
A.
​ We accept either cash or e-transfer at the moment.

Q. What are dressings?
A.
 Dressings are used to give car trim(i.e plastics, vinyl, ect.)a "like new" look by adding gloss and UV ray protection.

​Q. Do you remove stains from carpets and upholstery?
A. Short answer-Yes. so long as the stain has not set in. The long answer-Not all stains are created equally. This means that depending on the age of the stain, average temperature the stain sees everyday, and what had caused the stain all factor into whether or not it is removable.

Q. Do you detail or restore classic/vintage cars?
A.
 Unfortunately for liability purposes we do not. Currently we only detail cars produced after the year 2000.
