Is detailing the same as cleaning?

Short answer, no.

Detailing is like giving your car the spa day it never knew it needed, complete with clay bar facials, engine massages, and leather moisturizers.

Do I need to detail my car?

You absolutely should detail your car, and regularly. Doing so will increase the lifespan and value of the vehicle, as well as increase the safety of the driver, through the application of products like hydrophobic glass coatings & non-slip plastic sealants.

Should I detail my new car?

In our professional opinion, that's the best time to do it! When the paint is freshly factory-cured and the car arrives for delivery it is at it's optimal for a quick touchup and immediate protection.

Can detailing remove scratches?

Yes, through our polishing paint correction process, we ensure all minor scratches, swirls marks and other defects are addressed prior to applying any ceramic coating.
