Frequently Asked Questions About Our Car Detailing Services
Do you offer ceramic coating, and how long does it last?
Yes, we offer ceramic coating! It provides long-lasting protection for your vehicle’s paint, typically lasting 2 to 5 years with proper maintenance. It helps shield your car from UV rays, scratches, and contaminants while making cleaning easier.
What is a ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to the exterior of a vehicle to provide long-term protection and enhance its appearance. Once cured, it chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic (water-repellent) layer.
Why is ceramic coating expensive?
Ceramic coating is an investment in long-term protection for your vehicle. The cost reflects the high-quality materials used, the technology behind the coating, and the detailed application process. It requires expert knowledge and careful preparation of the paint before application to ensure the coating bonds properly and provides maximum protection. Additionally, the longevity of ceramic coatings—lasting 2 to 5+ years—means you’re not having to reapply it every few months like wax. It’s about value over time—protecting your car’s paint from UV rays, scratches, contaminants, and making it easier to maintain.
Is paint correction really necessary for my car?
Paint correction is a great option if your car has visible imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation. It’s not always necessary for every vehicle, especially if the paint is in good condition. However, if you’re looking to restore the paint’s depth and clarity, or if you’re planning to apply a ceramic coating for long-term protection, paint correction can really make a noticeable difference. We can inspect your vehicle and give you an honest recommendation based on its current condition.
What paint correction package shall I go for?
It really depends on your car’s paint condition and what results you’re after. If your paint only has light swirls or hazing, a 1-step correction is usually enough to restore good gloss and clarity. If you’re seeing deeper scratches or want a near-perfect finish, especially before applying a ceramic coating, then a 2-step or full correction is ideal. We would be happy to inspect the paint with you and recommend the best option so you’re only paying for what you need.
Is detailing my cheap car really worth it?
Absolutely! Detailing isn’t just about the car’s value—it’s about protecting what you have, making it last longer, and enjoying the drive. Even with a budget-friendly car, detailing helps preserve the paint, interior, and resale value. Plus, who doesn’t love driving a clean, fresh-looking car every day? We treat every car like it’s high-end because every owner deserves that level of care.
Why not go to the local carwash rather than a detailer if all they are doing is washing the car?
That’s a great question! While local car washes are quick and inexpensive, they typically offer a basic, surface-level clean—often using harsh chemicals and dirty brushes that can actually damage your paint over time. What we do is much more thorough. We use high-quality, safe products and take our time to clean every inch by hand, both inside and out. It’s not just about making your car look good today—it’s about protecting and preserving it for the long run.
Are the products that we use on all the cars, safe to use on them?
Absolutely! All the products we use are professional-grade, pH-balanced, and completely safe for every surface of your vehicle—from the paint and trim to the interior materials. We’re very selective about what we use to ensure not only a great finish but also long-term protection. Your car’s safety and condition are always our top priority.
What happens if you damage anything on the cars?
We take the utmost care with every vehicle we service, and while accidents are rare, we are fully insured for any damages that may occur. Our team is highly trained to handle all aspects of detailing with precision and attention to detail. If anything were to happen, we would take responsibility and work directly with you to make it right. Your car’s condition is incredibly important to us, and we always strive to provide the best care possible.
Are we limited to only cars?
Not at all! While we specialise in cars, we’re happy to work on a variety of vehicles, including trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, boats, and even RVs. If it has a surface that needs detailing, we’ve got you covered. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll let you know how we can help with your specific needs!
Can you remove pet hair from my car?
Yes, we can definitely remove pet hair from your car! We use specialised tools and techniques to thoroughly remove pet hair from carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas.
