Made of nanotechnology-based silica or silicon dioxide (SiO2) that forms a semi-permanent or permanent bond with the vehicle’s paint.

  • UV Protection: Shields the paint from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays, preventing oxidation and fading.

  • Chemical Resistance: Resists chemical stains from acidic contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, and bug splatter.

  • Scratch Resistance: Offers a level of protection against minor scratches and swirl marks, although it is not entirely scratch-proof.

  • What Is Tire Dressing and Interior Conditioning?
    Tire dressing is a product applied to tires to make them look shiny, clean, and new. Car enthusiasts and Detailers alike use tire dressing regularly. Tires and wheels are critical to a car's overall appearance, yet they are often overlooked. Interior conditioning is the last step of service. When applied properly to plastics and leather, the solution creates a protective layer that also has a new car-like shine. Before any of our Detail services, we always confirm what type of shine you prefer inside your vehicle: “E.g.” Shiny, Satin, or No Shine.
  • What Is a Clay Bar?
    Auto Detailing Clay Bars are engineered resin compounds used to remove microscopic contaminants from the surface of your car's paint, glass, fiberglass, and metal. It is recommended that you perform a clay bar treatment on your vehicle at least once or twice per year to keep the paint healthy and help Wax adhere.

    It depends on your vehicle maintenance & driving habits. Many of our customers get their car detailed 2-3 times a year. Other customers love our monthly Membership Program because we keep their car in great shape throughout the year while they enjoy exclusive discounts & rewards.
  • What Does “Deodorizer” Do?
    Deodorizer is a solution that eliminates odors and doesn’t simply cover them up with a nice fragrance. Our special chemicals, derived from the commercial carpet cleaning industry, blend perfectly with many “foul-odor” molecules such as sulfides, amines, and mercaptans. This chemical change affects only foul odors, leaving fresh, pleasant fragrances untouched. Our odor treatment is effective on many foul odors but extremely effective on cigarette and cigar odors.
  • How Often Do I Need to Polish / Wax My Vehicle?
    Wax is more than just a shiny look. It protects the paint from everyday damage like sap, road splatters, sun damage, oxidation, water damage, and so on. It is recommended to wax 2 - 3 times per year. A clay bar is also recommended every time you wax to remove leftover dirt and grime that a regular wash cannot remove.
