What is car detailing?
While there is no clear definition for “detailing”, it can be explained in simple terms as spending a significant amount of time to clean a vehicle. This includes taking extra precaution to washing the car, working around nooks, and implementing a gentle, yet incredibly well developed system.
Why should I get my car detailed in Sacramento?
Although beautiful in the summer, washing your vehicle in the Sacramento summer can be harsh on paint. Since vehicles are not (usually) properly dried, heat will dry the leftover water, leaving behind mineral deposits on your clear coat. These are known as water spots, and can only be fixed with paint correction. Getting your car detailed not only provides you with peace of mind, but also a much greater level of care.
What service do I need?
What are your “goals” for your vehicle? Whether you’re looking to sell a car and get it back to showroom quality, clean up some animal hair, or improve vehicle maintenance we’ll take care of you. Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns and we’ll be glad to offer a service that fits your needs.
How is a car detail different from a car wash?
Car washes are effective in cleaning your car by removing dirt and debris, but do so in an aggressive way. This usually results in damage to your vehicle’s paint. The brushes in automatic car washes trap debris from previous washes, which will scratch paint. Touch-less washes, on the other hand, use harsh chemicals and low quality soaps.
How much will it cost me?
Detailing packages generally start from $100, but we’ve seen some reach $700. How much you will pay depends on the vehicle type, condition, and service desired. Our most popular packages are priced at $199 and $249 for standard vehicles.
How long will it take?
Much like the cost, the time a service takes can vary greatly. When doing a paint correction service, we’ve worked on vehicles over the course of multiple days! However, for our Standard and Deluxe packages you can expect anywhere from 2-4 hours for a standard size sedan. However, we provide service at your home or office- so you won’t have to wait around.
