F.A.Q

General Questions:

1. What is auto detailing? Auto detailing is a thorough cleaning, restoration, and protection process for your vehicle, both inside and out, to enhance its appearance and overall condition.

2. What is ceramic coating? Ceramic coating is a protective, long-lasting liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle to provide enhanced shine, UV protection, water repellency, and resistance to contaminants.

3. What is paint correction? Paint correction involves the removal of imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation from a vehicle's paintwork to restore a deep, glossy finish.

4. Why should I consider auto detailing? Auto detailing helps maintain your vehicle's value, extends its lifespan, and enhances its aesthetic appeal by addressing both internal and external factors that contribute to wear and tear.

5. How often should I get my car detailed? The frequency of detailing depends on factors like your vehicle's usage, climate conditions, and personal preferences. A general guideline is to detail your car 2-4 times a year.

Mobile Detailing:

6. What is mobile detailing? Mobile detailing is a service where professional detailers come to your location, whether it's your home, office, or another convenient spot, to perform detailing services on-site.

7. Do you provide mobile detailing services? Yes, we offer mobile detailing services for your convenience. Our trained technicians will come equipped to perform the necessary detailing work at your preferred location.

8. What do I need to provide for a mobile detailing job? We will need access to a water source and electrical outlet to perform the detailing services efficiently. Please ensure we have these resources available during the appointment.

9. Can you detail my car in a parking garage or underground space? While we can work in covered areas, adequate ventilation and space are essential for our team to perform detailing effectively. Please ensure the chosen location meets these requirements.

Ceramic Coating:

10. What are the benefits of ceramic coating? Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection against UV rays, environmental contaminants, and minor scratches. It enhances your vehicle's gloss and reduces the need for frequent waxing.

11. How long does a ceramic coating last? The durability of a ceramic coating varies based on the product and maintenance, but it typically lasts from 1 to 5 years. Regular maintenance can extend its lifespan.

12. Is ceramic coating a substitute for paint protection film (PPF)? While ceramic coating offers protection, it doesn't provide the same level of physical impact resistance as PPF. PPF is more suitable for high-impact areas prone to rock chips.
