The duration of our services varies depending on the specific treatment your vehicle requires and its current condition. A standard exterior wash and quick interior tidy might take approximately 30-60 minutes. More intensive services like a full interior deep clean, paint correction, or ceramic coating application can take several hours, potentially requiring the vehicle to stay with us for a full day or even overnight for multi-stage processes and proper curing times. When you book your service, we will provide you with an estimated timeframe, and we always strive to complete the work efficiently without compromising on quality.
Yes, we highly recommend booking your detailing service in advance. While we may occasionally accommodate walk-ins for simpler services if our schedule allows, appointments are essential to ensure we can dedicate the necessary time and resources to your vehicle, providing our signature meticulous care without rush.

Absolutely. A professional ceramic coating application is one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle's appearance and longevity. It provides a durable, long-lasting protective barrier that is significantly more resistant to environmental contaminants, UV damage, chemical stains, and light scratching than traditional waxes or sealants. It creates an incredibly hydrophobic surface, making washing much easier and keeping your car cleaner for longer. While the initial cost is higher, the protection and ease of maintenance it offers over several years make it a truly worthwhile investment for preserving your vehicle's value and maintaining its stunning appearance.
