Note: This is a great time to ask about polishing services to enhance the shine of your car!
Why? The process above prepares a clean surface with no or minimal particles on your car’s surface. Clay treatment removes surface contaminants like road grime, tar, and tree sap, while iron decontamination tackles iron particles (from brake dust, etc.) that can embed in the paint. If you touch your car, the paint is smooth again! Polishing restores the paint's shine and clarity, creating a deeper, more vibrant look. A clean, polished surface allows for better adhesion of waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings, ensuring longer-lasting protection.

Add-Ons
Headlight Restoration
$120 per pair
Restoring cloudy or yellowed headlights can significantly improve both the appearance and functionality of your vehicle. Using a polisher, this process includes:
Cleaning: Remove dirt and debris from the headlights.
Sanding: Use wet sandpaper to remove oxidation and smooth the surface.
Polishing: Apply a polishing compound with a polisher to restore clarity and shine.
Sealing: Apply a UV protectant to prevent future clouding or damage.
Result: Restores visibility, improves headlight appearance, and enhances safety.
Pet Hair Removal
Starting at $50
Excessive pet hair can be labor intensive to remove. An additional fee is required if the pre-detailing assessment shows excessive pet hair.
Pricing begins at $30 but may go up to $100 depending on the severity and time required to remove it. This service requires a pre-cleaning assessment.
Removing pet hair from car seats is important for several reasons:
Aesthetic: Pet hair can make the car interior look messy and unclean, impacting the overall appearance.
Comfort: Pet hair can cause discomfort for passengers, especially those with allergies or sensitivities.
Preservation: Excess hair can become embedded in upholstery, leading to wear and tear over time.
Odor: Trapped pet hair can contribute to unpleasant odors, especially in warm weather.
Health: Removing pet hair helps maintain a clean and hygienic environment, reducing the buildup of allergens.
Engine Bay Clean & Detail
Starting at $100
Cleaning and detailing a car engine bay typically includes the following steps:
Degreasing: Application of a degreaser to break down grease, oil, and dirt accumulated in the engine bay.
Pressure Washing: Gently washing the engine bay with low-pressure water to rinse off dirt and degreaser.
Scrubbing: Using brushes to clean hard-to-reach areas and remove stubborn dirt or grime.
Drying: Thoroughly drying the engine components to prevent water damage to electrical parts.
Protecting Surfaces: Applying a protective coating or dressing to rubber, plastic, and metal components to maintain their appearance and prevent cracking or fading.
Polishing Available: Ask for more information about light polishing of metal parts (such as the engine cover or trim) for a shiny, well-maintained look.
This process not only enhances the engine’s appearance but also helps maintain its functionality and longevity.
Spot Treatment
$30 per spot

This process leaves the surface smoother and cleaner.
