General Detailing Questions
-
How often should I get my car detailed?
The frequency depends on your driving habits, parking situation, and weather exposure. A full detail every 4–6 months is a good rule of thumb to maintain appearance and condition.
-
What does a “full detail” include?
A full detail is a comprehensive interior and exterior service. It includes deep interior cleaning, stain treatment where appropriate, and a complete exterior wash, decontamination, and protection. It’s designed to restore the vehicle, not just make it “look clean.”
-
How long does a detail take?
Most full details take 4–6 hours, depending on vehicle size and condition. We don’t rush vehicles - quality work takes time, and we schedule accordingly.
-
How much does detailing cost?
Pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and level of service. We price based on the time, tools, and skill required - not flat, one-size-fits-all shortcuts. This ensures consistent, high-quality results.
-
Do you offer mobile detailing?
No. All work is performed in-shop so we can control lighting, temperature, equipment, and overall results. This allows us to maintain the quality we’re known for.
-
Do I need to leave my car all day?
For full details, yes. We’d rather under-promise and over-deliver than rush a vehicle to meet a clock.
Interior Detailing Questions
-
What does an interior detail consist of?
An interior detail includes deep cleaning and conditioning of interior surfaces such as carpets, upholstery, leather, panels, vents, windows, and hard-to-reach areas. Methods vary based on materials and condition.
-
Can you remove all stains?
We can significantly improve most stains, but not all stains are fully removable — especially if they’ve been present for years or permanently dyed the material. We’ll always be honest about expectations.
-
Do you remove pet hair?
Yes - but pet hair removal is a separate service. It requires specialized tools and additional time and is not included in standard interior packages.
-
Will the interior look brand new?
Our goal is maximum improvement, not false promises. Wear, fading, and damage can’t always be reversed — but the improvement will be noticeable.
-
Is leather conditioning included?
Leather conditioning is included in higher-tier interior services. Leather requires proper cleaning and conditioning to preserve it — quick wipe-downs don’t provide lasting protection.
Exterior, Paint & Protection Questions
-
What is paint correction?
Paint correction removes imperfections such as swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, and haze using machine polishing techniques to restore clarity and gloss.
-
What is paint enhancement?
Paint enhancement improves gloss and depth while addressing minor imperfections. It’s less intensive than full paint correction and ideal for vehicles with lighter defects.
-
Will detailing remove scratches?
A standard detail improves gloss and reduces light defects. Deeper scratches require paint correction, which is a separate service depending on severity.
-
Is waxing included?
Our exterior services include paint protection, typically a sealant that lasts longer than traditional wax. Ceramic coatings are a separate, long-term option.
-
How long does paint protection last?
Sealants typically last 3–6 months depending on driving habits and maintenance. Ceramic coatings last significantly longer with proper care.
Ceramic Coating Questions
-
Is ceramic coating worth it?
If you want easier maintenance, better protection, and long-term value, yes. It’s not magic - but it significantly reduces upkeep and protects against Colorado’s harsh conditions.
-
Does ceramic coating make my car scratch-proof?
No. Ceramic coatings add protection, not invincibility. Anyone claiming otherwise isn’t being honest.
-
How long does ceramic coating take?
Typically 1–3 days, depending on the package and paint condition. Proper prep work is where the real value lies.
Booking & Policies
-
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking 1–2 weeks in advance for full details or ceramic coatings to secure your preferred date. That said, next-day or short-notice appointments may be available depending on our schedule - feel free to check online or give us a call.
-
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, for higher-level services. Deposits secure your appointment and protect our time.
-
What if my car is worse than I described?
We’ll reassess the vehicle in person. Pricing may change if the condition requires significantly more time or labor. Transparency goes both ways.
