Exterior Detail Frequently Asked Questions

Why do you pre-soak the vehicle?

We pre-treat and pre-soak the vehicle to help loosen dirt, grime, and contaminants before the main wash. This step is essential for removing the toughest debris and minimizing the risk of scratches during the cleaning process. By allowing a pre-treatment solution to break down dirt, we ensure a safer, more effective wash that preserves your vehicle’s paint and leaves a better finish. This is also the time where we use the pressure washer to get the dirt, pine-needles, and other debris out of the cracks & crevasses of your vehicle. 

What kind of wax do you use?

We have several different waxes that we use in our arsenal. It comes down to what works best with your vehicle and condition that it is in. We have found a lot of success with DIY Detail, P&S Solutions, Armor Detail Supply, CarPro, and Gyeon.

How long does wax last?​

There are several factors that determine how long wax will last on your vehicle, one of them being how your vehicle is stored. If you have a garage-kept vehicle, we like to say 6-8 months. If it is outside kept then you are are likely to get 2-4 months.

 

The products we use are rated for 6 months - 1 year, but this also includes how you maintain your vehicle. If you wash your vehicle regularly, and also treat your vehicle with products that boost hydrophobic properties, you may be able to get more time out of it.

How long does an Exterior Detail take?

This question depends on the size and condition of the vehicle for a definitive answer. A median answer would be around 1-2 hours.

Can't I just do this myself?

While you could certainly wash your car at home, professional exterior detailing provides a level of thoroughness and precision that’s hard to replicate without specialized tools, products, and experience. Our team uses carefully formulated products and techniques designed to bring out the best in your car's paint while protecting it. Plus, with a professional, you avoid common DIY pitfalls, like using the wrong materials or missing hidden contaminants, which can lead to micro-scratches and dulling over time.
