General Questions

What is mobile detailing?

Mobile detailing is a service where professional detailers come directly to your location (home, office, etc.) to clean and restore your vehicle. Unlike traditional car washes, detailing includes deep cleaning both the interior and exterior of your vehicle, often using specialized tools and products to ensure a superior, long-lasting finish.\

What areas do you service?

We Service Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Englewood and Port Charlotte.

Do I need to be present during the service?

While it's not necessary for you to be present during the service, we recommend it if you have specific preferences or areas that need attention. If you’re unable to be around, just provide access to your vehicle, a power source, and water hookup, and we’ll take care of the rest.

How long does a typical mobile detailing service take?

Service times vary depending on the size of your vehicle and the type of detailing service requested. For example, a Wash and Wax typically takes 1-1.5 hours, while a Full Interior Detail may take 3-4 hours. Be sure to ask for an estimated time when you book your appointment.

What do I need to provide for the detailing service?

To ensure a smooth experience, we require a nearby power outlet and water hookup for most services. It’s also helpful if the vehicle is parked in an accessible location, so we can efficiently perform the service.

Are the products used safe for my vehicle and the environment?

Yes! We use eco-friendly products that are safe for both your vehicle and the environment. Our cleaning solutions are carefully selected to provide excellent results without causing harm to your vehicle’s surfaces or the surrounding ecosystem.

What does the Wash and Wax service include?

The Wash and Wax service involves a thorough hand wash to remove dirt, grime, and contaminants, followed by the application of a high-quality wax. This process leaves your vehicle with a glossy finish and provides protection against the elements, making it easier to maintain.

How is this different from a regular car wash?

Unlike automated car washes, the Wash and Wax service is a scratch-free hand wash. The process is gentle on your vehicle's paint, ensuring a deeper clean and a smoother finish without the risk of scratches or swirl marks often caused by machine washes.

How often should I get a Wash and Wax?

For optimal results and long-lasting protection, it’s recommended to get a Wash and Wax every 1-2 months. This helps protect the paint from contaminants, UV rays, and water spots while maintaining a fresh, shiny appearance.

What’s the difference between the Full Interior Detail and the Mini Interior Detail?

The Mini Interior Detail is a maintenance-level cleaning designed for regular upkeep between full detailing services. It focuses on vacuuming, wiping down surfaces, and spot cleaning areas like carpets and upholstery. While it’s not as deep as the Full Interior Detail, it helps maintain a neat and fresh interior.

How often should I schedule a Mini Interior Detail?

You can schedule a Mini Interior Detail as frequently as every 1-2 months to maintain the cleanliness of your vehicle’s cabin. It’s a great option for people who want to keep their interior fresh without committing to a full, deep clean every time.
