All surfaces are scrubbed and rubbed with a coarse bristle brush to loosen dirt and grease.
Scrubbing of mats
Floor mats are removed from vehicle and are shampooed and sprayed. Fabric or vinyl, it does not matter, both are treated with the same process.
First Shampoo and Vacuum

Q:
A: Detailing is a specialized process of keeping your vehicle, as much as possible; in the same showroom condition as the day you bought it!
Q:
A: Consider detailing your car whenever you get your oil changed. Detailing depends on the wear and tear of your car and your expectations of how you want your vehicle to look.
Q:
A: Here are two tests you can use to evaluate the paint condition: 1. After washing and drying the car, run your hand lightly along the upper surfaces of the car. The surfaces should feel very smooth. If you detect rough spots or feel drag, the car needs a wax. 2. Spray water on the car. If tight beads appear this means that the paint has the proper amount of protection. If the beads are loose, there is not enough protection on the car, if there are no beads, there is no protection on the car and a wax should be applied immediately.
Q:
A: Detailing does more than merely clean your car. It preserves or, as the case may be, restores its original beauty through thorough, professional processes involving bug, tar, sap, lime removal, tire and rim treatment, interior leather and vinyl conditioning, carpet and headliner shampooing, wet sanding, waxing and applied protectants that keep your car's paint job looking �just-off-the-production-line� fresh. Moreover, regular detailing extends the life of your car and actually adds to its value.
Q:
A: 1) Light surface scratches can be removed by compounding the surface of affected area. 2) If scratches have only gone through one or two coats of clear, they can be wet sanded out. 3) If scratches have gone completely thought clear coat, then the vehicle will have to be repainted.
Q:
A: Many stains can be removed or diminished using the state of the art system, Aqua Air. Examples include coffee, dirt, grease and food stains.
Q:
A: Pet hair is no problem. We hunt down every hair and remove it with our Aqua Air system and by hand. Your interior is left hair free.
Q:
A: Our detailing service can be customized to your individual needs. If you would like us to concentrate on a certain area our professional team will adjust to your needs.
Q:
A: This depends on the use of your vehicle. Inside maintenance lasts as long or as short as you treat your vehicle. The length of the exterior finish depends on the conditions your vehicle faces. Ideally you will need an exterior detail twice a year for maximum protection.
Q:
A: 1/2 day to full day depending on the job at hand.
