How often should you detail?
Most vehicles benefit from a full detail every 3–6 months. Daily drivers or vehicles with kids and pets may need more frequent attention.
Park in the shade when possible
UV exposure is one of the fastest ways to fade and degrade your paint and interior plastics. A shaded spot makes a real difference long-term.
Wipe down your interior weekly
A quick wipe of your dash, console, and door panels with a microfiber cloth takes 5 minutes and prevents buildup that's harder to remove later.
Don't let bird droppings sit
Bird droppings are acidic and can etch into your clear coat within hours. Keep a detailing spray and microfiber in your car for quick clean-ups.
Preparing for your appointment
Remove personal items and trash before we arrive. The less clutter we work around, the more time we spend on the actual detail.
Ceramic coating vs. wax
Wax provides 1–3 months of protection. Ceramic coating lasts years and provides a much harder, more durable barrier against the elements.
