What does Mobile Detail service mean?
By Mobile Detail we mean that we come to your home or office and we are self sufficient with our water and power to begin and finish a complete top of the line auto detail service on your car.

What to expect from the service?
Expect a professional detailer that shows up on time, suggests the best treatment for your car, and returns to you an immaculate automobile.

How long does it take?
Between 3 to 4 hours for a sedan, up to 6 for the biggest SUV.

How long will it last?
Once cleaned and prepared we finish your car using Premium Carnuba Wax and your car will remain protected for a period that lasts between 4 to 6 months.

What is Clay Bar?
Clay Bar is a method of safely polishing contamination from a painted body surface. Paint contamination consists of tiny metal shavings from rail dust, brake dust and industrial fallout. This contamination affects all paint finishes and can cause serious damage when left untreated. Paint contamination can be felt as a "rough or gritty" texture on the paint's surface and can lead to tiny rust spots. The effects of this contamination are particularly visible on cars with white paint. This contamination can not be removed by a simple car wash but only by correctly applying clay bar to your car's body.

Will my car need Clay Bar?
After hand washing your car, feel the surface of your car's paint. Do you feel bumps and rough spots? These bumps are contaminants attacking the finish of your car. No matter how well you hand-wash your car, many of the contaminants that have worked their way into your car's paint finish will remain.

Removing these surface contaminants (road tar, acid rain spots, bug residue, paint over-spray, brake pad dust, hard water spots, etc.) will improve both the look and health of your car's paint. By the way, you can magnify your sense of touch by inserting your fingertips into a sandwich bag or a piece of cellophane.

What is Polishing?
Car Polish (Surface Oxidation Remover) removes tree sap, minor scuffmarks and scratches, swirl marks, oxidized car paints/finishes and other hazing. Car Polish also brings out the original shine of your new car's paint. The effects of Auto Polish are particularly visible on cars with dark paint, which tends to show more scratches and hazing.
