What does a full car detail include?+
The $199 Seasonal Detail Promo bundles the complete Classic Interior Detail and Classic Exterior Bath: foam bath, hand wash, decontamination, wax and seal, full interior vacuum and wipe-down, windows, mats, and jambs. About 3.5 hours.
What is the difference between the full detail and the Masterpiece?+
The $199 full detail cleans and protects. The $399 Masterpiece Inside & Out (normally $499) adds clay bar, stubborn water-spot removal, black trim restoration, and a full 330°F interior steam clean. Roughly 4.5 hours for a near-reset.
How long does a full detail take?+
About 3.5 hours for the Seasonal Detail Promo on a standard car, 4.5 hours for the Masterpiece. SUVs, trucks, and heavily soiled cars run longer, and we give you an accurate window when you book.
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?+
Booking takes a small deposit to lock the slot. The balance — cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card — is due after the detail's finished and you've looked the car over. First-time clients get 20% off — just mention it when you book.
Which cities do you cover?+
Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, El Segundo, Torrance, Rancho Palos Verdes, Lomita, San Pedro, Long Beach, Del Aire, Lawndale, Hawthorne, Signal Hill, Rolling Hills, Palos Verdes Estates, and Harbor City. Just outside that line? Text us. We make exceptions for repeat clients.
How soon can you detail my car in Harbor City?+
Same-day or next-day appointments are typical across Harbor City. Booking takes a small deposit to lock the slot, and we text a confirmation right after. Weekends fill first, so the Saturday spots near Western and the PCH corridor go fast.
Do I need to be home for my Harbor City appointment?+
No. The truck is self-contained with a 50-gallon water tank and generator, so we just need access to the car. Leave a key or unlock it, and we text before-and-after photos. Payment is due after you've looked it over, by cash, Zelle, Venmo, or card.
Can you get the diesel film and dust haze off my paint without scratching it?+
Yes. The diesel film and port dust that settle on Harbor City cars leave a gritty haze a regular wash drags across the clear coat. We hand wash, then run an iron-decontamination and clay treatment so the grit lifts off cleanly. Etched spots need a one-step polish, which we'll quote before we start.
