What does marine detailing include?

Marine detailing typically includes washing, waxing, oxidation removal, interior cleaning, vinyl seat conditioning, mold/mildew removal, and metal polishing. Packages vary from basic wash-downs to full restorations.

How often should I get my boat detailed?

How long does an interior cleaning service take?

The duration depends on your car’s size and condition, but most Interior Cleaning services take between 2 to 4 hours. For heavily soiled interiors, it may take longer. We’ll provide an estimated time when you book your appointment.

Do you offer different levels of window tinting?

Yes, we offer a range of tint levels to suit your preferences and local regulations. Whether you want a lighter tint for subtle UV protection or a darker tint for maximum privacy and style, we have options to meet your needs.

What are the benefits of ceramic coating?

Ceramic Coating provides long-lasting protection for your car’s paint. Benefits include:

➤ Hydrophobic properties for easier cleaning

➤ UV protection to prevent fading and oxidation

➤ Scratch resistance against minor imperfections

➤ A deep, high-gloss finish

It’s the ultimate way to preserve your vehicle’s appearance and value.

How often should I get my car detailed?

For optimal care, we recommend detailing your vehicle every 3 to 6 months, depending on your driving habits, environment, and personal preference. Regular detailing helps maintain your car’s appearance and protect its value.

Do I need to prepare my car before a detailing appointment?

No preparation is needed! However, removing personal belongings from the interior and trunk will help us clean more thoroughly and save time.

Can I wash my car after ceramic coating?

Yes, but wait at least 7 days after the ceramic coating is applied before washing your car. When washing, use a gentle, pH-neutral soap and avoid abrasive sponges or brushes to preserve the coating’s durability.
