Question 1

What is mobile car detailing?

Accepted Answer

Mobile car detailing is a professional cleaning and restoration service performed at your home, job, or preferred location. It goes far beyond a basic car wash by deep-cleaning and protecting both the interior and exterior of your vehicle.

Question 2

How is detailing different from a regular car wash?

Accepted Answer

A car wash focuses on surface dirt. Detailing restores and protects your vehicle using specialized tools and products for paint, wheels, trim, upholstery, and interior surfaces.

Question 3

How long does a car detail take?

Accepted Answer

Most services take between 1–4 hours depending on the package, vehicle size, and condition. Heavily soiled interiors or specialty services may take longer.

Question 4

Do I need to provide water or electricity?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no. Mobile detailing is designed to be self-contained. If access is ever needed, it will be confirmed during booking.

Can you detail my car at my home or workplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As long as the location is safe and legal, detailing can be performed at your home, office, apartment complex, or job site.

What should I do before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Remove personal items from the vehicle and ensure the car is parked in an accessible area. This allows for a more thorough and efficient service.

Question 8

How often should I get my car detailed?

Most vehicles benefit from detailing every 3–6 months. Daily drivers or coastal vehicles may need more frequent care.
