FAQ
Exterior Detail in Manhattan Beach: your questions answered
What is the difference between a car wash and an exterior detail?+
A car wash rinses the surface. The $120 Classic Exterior Bath decontaminates the paint, removes bonded bugs and tar, cleans inside the wheel wells and barrels, and finishes with a wax and seal. It protects, not just cleans.
Will this remove water spots and swirl marks?+
Light water spots, yes. Etched water spots, swirl marks, and oxidation need a clay bar ($100) or a one-step polish ($199). Two-step polish for deeper defects is $299. We'll look at your paint and tell you which it actually needs.
How often should I get an exterior detail near the coast?+
Salt air off the South Bay coast pulls protection off clear coat fast. Every 4 to 6 weeks keeps the seal intact. Pair it with a 6-month ceramic coating ($100 add-on) and you stretch that out a lot.
What happens if it rains on my appointment?+
We watch the forecast and text you the night before if rain is coming. Light coastal mist is fine because we work under your garage, carport, or any covered spot. Heavy rain gets a free reschedule to the next clear day.
Do you need my water or electricity?+
No. The truck carries a 50-gallon water tank and a generator. We detail anywhere with curb access: driveway, street, office lot, or marina. You don't have to be home as long as the car is unlocked or you leave a key.
Do bigger vehicles cost more?+
Yes. Listed prices are for standard cars. A compact pickup or SUV adds $20. A 3rd-row SUV, van, or XL truck adds $45. That covers the extra time and product, nothing hidden.
How do I pay, and is there a first-time deal?+
Cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card, always after the work is done. First-time clients get 20% off. Mention it when you book and it's applied automatically.
Which cities do you cover?+
Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lomita, San Pedro, and Long Beach. Just outside that line? Text us. We make exceptions for repeat clients.
