How much does a maintenance detail cost?+
$199 per visit if you booked an inside-and-out detail within the last 3 weeks. It covers an exterior foam bath, wheel cleaning and shine, windows and lenses, wheel wells and barrels, full interior wipe-down, thorough vacuum including the trunk, carpet brushing, interior glass, jambs, and an air freshener.
Why is the maintenance detail cheaper than a full detail?+
Because the car was fully detailed within the last 3 weeks, there's no heavy buildup to fight — so we can keep it pristine in less time. That's why the $199 rate is exclusive to recently detailed vehicles.
How often should I book a maintenance detail?+
Every 2 to 4 weeks keeps a sealed car looking like the day it was detailed. Coastal cars in the South Bay benefit from the tighter end of that because of salt air on the paint.
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 $40. A 3rd-row SUV, van, or XL truck adds $65. 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 10% 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 come out in Del Aire?+
We can usually fit a 90250 job within a few days, and same-week is common. Booking is a quick text or call to Patrick, you give the address and what you want done, and we lock in a time and text a confirmation right after.
Do I need to be home for my Del Aire appointment?+
No. The truck is self-contained with a 50-gallon water tank and quiet 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 dull, hazy film off paint that's been sitting in the airport-corridor sun?+
Yes. Jet fallout and freeway brake dust leave a bonded haze a regular wash won't pull, and baking sun sets it harder. We run an iron-decontamination pass to lift it, and if the clear coat is already etched, a one-step polish brings the gloss back, which we'll quote before we start.
