Depending on the size and condition of your car, our basic exterior detailing usually takes two to four hours. More complex procedures like ceramic coating or polishing could take longer.
Swirl marks and minor surface scratches can be eliminated by polishing. Paint correction or touch-up services could be necessary for deeper scratches. We'll evaluate your paint job and suggest the best course of action.
For a few weeks to a few months, wax offers a transient coating of luster and defense. Ceramic coatings provide better protection against UV rays, water, and pollutants and are more resilient, lasting up to one to three years.
