Auto Detailing
The deep clean. Interior, exterior, paint correction and coatings — the work that actually brings a car back.
A wash cleans it. A detail restores it.
Hours of hand work, not fifteen minutes through a tunnel.
[Describe your detailing work in your own words — what you actually do, the products and machines you use, and how long a full detail takes. Be specific; this is a high-ticket service and customers read closely before booking.]
- We inspect the car first and tell you what's realistic
- Hand work, done properly, not rushed
- Clear quote before we touch anything

Every price on this page is a placeholder. Put in the numbers you actually charge, be clear about what's included at each tier, and state plainly how you handle vehicles that take longer (oversized vehicles, heavy pet hair, serious neglect). If a price is "starting at," say so. Advertising a price you won't actually honor at the counter is the fastest way to lose a customer — and in most states it's deceptive advertising.
Paint correction
Paint correction is machine polishing that removes a thin layer of clear coat to level out swirls, scratches and oxidation. Done well, it transforms a car. Done carelessly, it can burn through the clear coat.
[Describe your correction process — how you measure paint thickness, your compound and polish stages, and how you decide what's safe to remove on a given car.]
What it can and can't fix
- [What you can typically correct — e.g. swirls, light scratches, oxidation]
- [What can only be improved, not removed]
- [What can't be safely corrected at all — e.g. scratches through the clear coat]
Ceramic coating
[Describe the coating you actually apply — the product name, the prep it requires, how long the application takes, and what it realistically does for the customer.]
Aftercare
[Explain how a coated car should be washed and maintained, and what voids the warranty. Customers who don't know this ruin coatings and then blame the shop.]
Don't advertise a durability figure ("lasts 5 years," "9H hardness," "permanent protection") unless it comes from the actual product you apply and you're prepared to stand behind it — and don't promise a coating makes paint "scratch-proof" or "self-healing." It doesn't. Same for paint correction: results depend entirely on the paint's condition and thickness, and some defects can't be safely removed. Tell customers what's realistically achievable after you inspect the car, put your real warranty terms in writing, and never guarantee an outcome you can't control.

Car washes and detailers get damage claims: loose trim, aftermarket parts, cracked windshields, worn clear coat, antennas. Write down the policy you actually follow — what you inspect before starting, what you ask customers to remove, what you're not responsible for, and how you handle a claim. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional and make sure it matches what your insurance actually covers. Don't copy another shop's disclaimer.
How long does a full detail take?
+[Real timings. If it's a full day or an overnight, say so up front.]
How often should I get my car detailed?
+[Your honest recommendation — don't inflate it to sell more visits.]
Can you get every scratch out?
+No — and anyone who promises that isn't being straight with you. [Explain what you can realistically correct and how you assess a car before quoting. Honesty here wins more jobs than a promise you can't keep.]
How long does a ceramic coating last?
+[Answer with the actual manufacturer's figure for the product you apply and the terms of your warranty. Don't quote a durability number you can't back up, and be clear that it depends on maintenance.]
Can you get pet hair / smoke smell out?
+[Be honest. Heavy pet hair and embedded smoke odor take extra time and sometimes can't be fully removed. Explain how you charge for it and what results to expect.]
Do you come to me?
+[Whether you offer mobile detailing, and any requirements — power, water, covered space.]
