Pricing questions
How much does a detail cost?
Price goes up with vehicle size. For a coupe or sedan, an exterior wash starts at $100, an interior detail at $130 and a full detail at $200. Small and mid-size SUVs, and trucks, 3-row SUVs and vans, cost more. Headlight restoration starts at $80 for the pair. Paint enhancement, a polish that boosts shine, is an add-on to an exterior wash or full detail: it adds $400 for a coupe or sedan, $500 for a small or mid-size SUV and $600 for a truck, 3-row SUV or van. Paint correction, which removes swirls and defects, is quoted after an in-person inspection and starts at $800. The final price depends on condition and is confirmed before we start.
How much is pet hair removal?
Pet hair removal is a premium service. It starts at $25 and goes up to $100 depending on how severe the pet hair is.

Exterior & paint questions
What does an exterior wash offer?
Every exterior wash includes paint decontamination, a full hand wash and hand dry, tire shine, and trim color restoration that brings faded gray plastic trim back to black (this restores color only, not damage, so it cannot fix cracked, warped or gouged trim). It finishes with a ceramic sealant that seals the paint and makes it shine, a step up from a traditional wax: it bonds better to the clear coat and lasts for a few months instead of a few weeks.
Do you offer ceramic coatings?
Yes. We decontaminate the paint and polish or correct it first, then apply the coating. Because the paint's condition decides how much prep it needs, ceramic coating is quoted after an in-person inspection. Call or text to set one up.
Will paint enhancement remove scratches and swirls?
Not guaranteed. Paint enhancement is simply a polish to boost the shine of your vehicle. If you want swirls and defects removed, you want paint correction, which is quoted after an in-person inspection and starts at $800.
Can I book paint enhancement by itself?
No. Paint enhancement is an add-on, so an exterior wash or full detail has to be booked with it, and its price is added to the cost of that service. It is simply a shine boost and is not guaranteed to remove scratches or swirls.
Headlight questions
Can you fix cloudy headlights?
In most cases, yes. Oxidized, yellowed lenses can usually be restored and sealed against UV. Restoration starts at $80 for the pair, and we always do both headlights because one clear lens next to a cloudy one looks worse. If a lens has moisture inside or deep cracks, we will tell you honestly that replacement is the better option.
Payment questions
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App and Apple Pay.
