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 Palos Verdes Estates?+
Same-week appointments are typical across 90274, and we can often fit a next-day slot midweek. Booking is a quick text or call to Patrick with the address and what you want done, and we lock in a time. Weekend slots on the bluff streets fill first in summer.
Do I need to be home for my Palos Verdes Estates appointment?+
No. The truck is fully self-contained with its own water tank and quiet generator, so we just need access to the car and the driveway. Leave a key with the gate or unlock it, and we text before-and-after photos. Payment is due after you've looked the car over.
Can you safely correct the salt etching and swirls on my European car's paint?+
Yes. Bluff salt mist and improper washing leave fine etching and swirl marks in soft European clear coats. We do a careful machine polish to bring the gloss back, then seal it with ceramic so the salt has something to bead off. We'll inspect the paint and quote the correction before we start.
