Frequently asked questions
How long does a full detail take?
Four to six hours for most cars. Add an hour for SUVs and trucks, more if there's pet hair or heavy interior staining.
Do I need to provide water and power?
No. We bring our own water tank and a generator. We need a parking spot and about 15 feet of clearance around the vehicle.
How often should I get a full detail?
Twice a year is the sweet spot for most cars. Daily drivers can stretch to once a year if you keep up with regular washes. Show cars get them more often.
