Remove valuables and personal items, tell us about problem spots and arrive at your confirmed time. That is most of it.

Before you arrive

  • Remove valuables and personal items. Take loose items, paperwork and anything fragile.
  • Empty the trunk and remove child seats if you can.
  • Note problem areas. Stains, smells, pet hair and chips or scratches you want us to see.
  • Check the booking. Reservation times are approximate and may vary within 60 minutes.

What to tell us

Pets, smoke, spills and anything that has happened to the vehicle help us price honestly and use the right method. Add notes in the quote builder.

What to expect

Durations: about 90 minutes for the Express Detail, about 4 hours for the Signature Detail and about 8 hours for the Ultimate Detail. PPF needs at least 4 days notice and tint at least 2 days. See our FAQ.

After your appointment

Keep the vehicle clean with gentle hand washing. See our detailing schedule and winter wash guide.

What we do not need you to do

You do not need to wash the vehicle before you bring it in, or to remove the floor mats. We take care of that.

Selling or returning a lease?

Tell us when you request your quote. A detail before selling or returning a lease helps a vehicle show better, and we can suggest the right package for the timeline and budget.

Drop-off and pick-up

Reservation times are approximate. We confirm your drop-off time when we contact you about your quote.

Questions we may ask

  • Do you have pets, or does anyone smoke in the vehicle?
  • Any stains or smells you want us to focus on?
  • Any paint chips or scratches we should know about?
