Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Car Detailing?
Car detailing is a comprehensive, professional cleaning and restoration process for your vehicle, both inside and out. Unlike a standard car wash, which only removes surface dirt, detailing goes far deeper—addressing every nook and cranny, removing stains and odors, messes left from kids, hair from pets, correcting paint imperfections, and applying protective treatments to keep your vehicle looking and feeling like new. Services often include deep interior cleaning, shampooing carpets and seats, iron and clay treatments to remove contaminants, polishing, waxing, sealing, and coating the exterior, engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, and more. For car owners in San Francisco and along the Peninsula, detailing is the gold standard for vehicle care—preserving your investment and enhancing your driving experience
Why Choose Car Detailing Over a Car Wash and Vacuum?
A typical car wash and vacuum offers a quick, surface-level clean. While it’s great for removing loose dirt and dust, it can leave behind stubborn stains, odors, and contaminants. Detailing, on the other hand, is a meticulous process that deep cleans, restores, and protects your vehicle. It can eliminate allergens, remove tough stains, correct paint issues, and apply protective coatings to extend your car’s lifespan. In fact, automatic car washes can even damage paint, whereas detailing corrects and safeguards it. Think of how clean you keep your home for babies. Wouldn’t you want a clean environment for your child in the car as well? If you want your car to look, feel, and smell as close to new as possible, detailing is the way to go—especially in the Bay Area, where environmental factors can quickly take a toll on your vehicle’s appearance
