Our Philosophy when detailing: Give our clients mental clarity through the significant improvement in the look and feel of their vehicle.

Not everyone will be able to have their vehicle looking brand new but often times we can bring a car from a 2 on a scale of 1-10, one being the worst condition possible, to 10 being the best condition possible. So we can take a car from a 2 to a 8, but often times that still makes the client happy with that significantly increased peace of mind knowing the vehicle is as clean as can be.

Services we provide:

RV Detailing:

we can bring your RV back to life with a new coating of wax or paint oxidation removal. We safely wash your RV and protect it with a ceramic wax coating that will last for many months even with regular washes. If your paint is dull and oxidized, we can bring that back too in many cases! The only thing to be wary of in these cases is RV stickers need to be replaced if they are cracked. Otherwise, we have been able to bring back to life many RVs that otherwise would be looking in rough shape. After removing oxidized paint, it’s important that we seal the paint with ceramic wax or paint sealant. Check out these pictures of a 1982 crown school bus we fixed!

Auto Detailing

Auto detailing is the process of thoroughly cleaning and restoring a vehicle to its original condition, both inside and out. There are several different types of detailing services available, each of which serves a specific purpose. Here are some of the most common types of detailing services and why they are important:

  1. Exterior detailing: Exterior detailing is the process of cleaning and restoring the exterior of a vehicle. This typically includes a full wash, clay bar treatment to remove contaminants, and a wax or sealant to protect the paint and give it a glossy finish. Exterior detailing is important because it helps to preserve the finish of the vehicle and protect it from the elements. It also removes dirt and grime that can cause damage to the paint over time.

  2. Interior detailing: Interior detailing is the process of cleaning and restoring the interior of a vehicle. This typically includes a thorough cleaning of the seats, carpets, and upholstery, as well as the dashboard, console, and door panels. Interior detailing is important because it helps to keep the vehicle's interior looking clean and new. It can also remove any unwanted particles like bacteria, pollen and food spills, which can cause bad odor and potential health hazards.

  3. Clarity Wash: This wash is not really just a wash. It’s a detailed inside and out cleaning of the vehicle to refresh it and bring it back to clean. It includes a thorough wipe down and vacuum of the interior carpets, under the carpets, the seats, and in all the cracks and crevices you can think of. If you’re used to going to one of those quick car washes, this is what they call a detail. We call it a Clarity Wash because our standards are well beyond the local competition. We strive to make every vehicle look as new as possible, and part of that is choosing the right service for your vehicle. Not every vehicle needs 10 hours to bring back to new so our entry-level services are geared towards vehicles that are already coated and need to be cleaned, and we clean every crevice to ensure you are getting the best quality service that you deserve. This service is recommended once a month.

  4. Clarity Wash & Wax: This is where the fun really starts! We love to coat vehicles to give that protection and hydrophobic properties that people on social media have come to know and love. There is nothing else like seeing water bead up on a car like on a rainforest leaf. There is something so satisfying about this and it’s really a treat to see. This service is the same level of cleaning as the Clarity Wash but with the added feature of a protective ceramic wax coating hand polished into the paint, wheels, and windows. This adds protection from bird droppings, tree sap, UV rays, and dirt. We recommend this service every 3 or 6 months. This service is good for people that do not like scents in their vehicles as we simply clean the vehicle with non-scented “degreasing” chemicals that clean the vehicle and do not leave behind aromas or scents.

    Mini Exterior & Interior Detail

    This service is everything from the Clarity Wash & Wax service but gives a deeper interior clean with a light dry shampoo of all carpets and upholstery as well as leather conditioner and interior plastic and vinyl protectants that condition the interior materials to give them a longer life and make them look better. Don’t let the name fool you as this is not simply a mini detail, this is an in depth service that deep cleans your vehicle and leaves the whole car protected. We call it mini because our standard of what an exterior or interior detail far exceeds what others consider a detail.

  5. Engine detailing: Engine detailing is the process of cleaning and restoring the engine bay of a vehicle. This typically includes degreasing and dressing of the various components. Engine detailing is important because it helps to keep the engine running smoothly and can reveal any potential issues that need attention. It also helps to prevent rust and corrosion, which can cause damage to the engine over time.

  6. Paint correction: Paint correction is the process of removing scratches and swirl marks from the paint of a vehicle. This is typically done using specialized polishes and compounds, and a machine polisher. Paint correction is important because it helps to restore the original finish of the vehicle, making it look new again.

  7. Headlight restoration: Headlight restoration is the process of removing the yellowing and hazing that occurs over time on plastic headlight lenses. This is typically done using a specialized solution and a machine buffer. Headlight restoration is important because it helps to improve visibility and safety, and also make the car look better.

  8. Ceramic coating: A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that is applied by hand to the exterior of a vehicle. It forms a permanent bond with the paint and provides a long-lasting protection for the paint, and gives a glossy finish. It is also hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and other liquids, which makes it easier to clean the vehicle. Ceramic coatings are important because they provide an extra layer of protection against the elements and make cleaning the car a breeze.

  9. Maintenance detailing: Regular maintenance detailing is a service that is designed to keep the vehicle in optimal condition over time. This typically includes all of the services mentioned above, but it is done on a regular schedule. For example, you might have your vehicle detailed every three months, or every six months. Maintenance detailing is important because it helps to maintain the appearance and condition of the vehicle over time, and can also reveal any issues that need attention before they become major problems.

In summary, each of these types of detailing services serves a specific purpose and is important for maintaining the appearance, value, and safety of your vehicle. By regularly investing in these services, you can protect your vehicle from the elements, extend its lifespan, and keep it looking new for years to come.

Almost every service we provide is as detailed as possible. We have packaged everything in such a way that will make the biggest results possible in the time frame give.
