What IS detailing?
A full detail consists of thorough cleaning inside and
out, including the following:
• Cleaning
of the wheels and tires
• Removal of insect
residue and industrial fallout
• Cleaning of
the engine
• Body wash
• Trunk clean
and shampoo
• Interior clean and shampoo
• Buff, polish and wax of the paint
• Protectant on exterior trim and tires
Auto detailing will remove light scratches
and blemishes from car exteriors. It will also restore
the color and shine of your vehicle and clean your interior
and carpets recaptur-ing that new car look and feel!
Keeping it clean regularly will prolong its life. ^back to top

How often should my car be waxed and why?
When you notice water is no longer beading up on your
car, or your car just doesn’t shine, it’s
time to wax. Waxes are de-signed to protect and produce
a durable high gloss finish, and make cleaning (wash-ing/drying)
the paint surface easier. ^back to top

My paint looks faded and has scratches, can detailing
make it look new again?
There are several paint restorative techniques that
can save most paint jobs. Depending on the condition
of the paint, it can be wet sanded, compounded and buffed,
polished and re-sealed to look like new. Since a new
quality paint job can run thousands of dol-lars, have
an experienced detailer examine your car to see if the
existing paint job can be restored. In most cases the
paint can be restored to near perfect, for a few hundred
dollars rather than thousands! Call us today for a free

Should I have my car detailed before I sell it?
Absolutely! A car’s well-maintained appearance
will impress prospective buyers and help sell your car
faster and for more money. Even used car dealers detail
every car they put out on their lot. It is no different
than putting your house on the market…the cleaner
and nicer it looks, the quicker it will sell. ^back to top

Now that my car is detailed, what should I do to keep
it looking this great?
First, when washing your car, NEVER use dish soap—it
is too harsh and abrasive for your car’s paint
and protective coating. Only use soap specifically designed
for cars; other-wise, you will risk stripping the wax
and accelerating oxidation. Second, use a white cotton
wash mitt instead of nylon wash mitts, which can also
be abrasive to your car’s finish. Third, avoid
getting water spots by always washing your car in the
shade. The hot sun will bake the soapy water into the
paint. ^back to top
