Regular car wash gives your vehicle a general clean. Interior is vacuumed and surfaces wiped down – exterior is washed and dried and the wheels and tires are cleaned – windows are cleaned.

Detailing a vehicle takes that process to a much elevated level. Every surface and crevice of the interior are meticulously cleaned and conditioned

• Carpets and upholstery are cleaned using hot water extraction and/or steam cleaning
• Exterior of the vehicle is hand washed and dried
• paint is decontaminated by use of Clay Bar
• tires, wheels and fender wells are meticulously cleaned.
• Paint is then examined for defects that may require paint correction. If no paint correction is needed, the exterior is then protected by a wax of sealant. Detailing also includes: engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, leather treatment, etc.

If you want to maximize your vehicle’s usefulness, washing and vacuuming your vehicle at home or taking it to the regular car wash is not sufficient. You need to seek professional care. Some owners are skeptical because the price of detailing may be too expensive. Detailing will not only ensure that your vehicle maintains a showroom appearance throughout the year, but will also help maintain your vehicle’s re-sale value.

At least once a year but, it is recommended twice a year depending on your driving, car washing habits and where you store your vehicle. Detailing has proven to be very effective in giving the vehicle a showroom appearance and a better resale/trade-in price.

Most people think about detailing when they are considering selling a vehicle, but by that time (average of 5 years) the vehicle has too much wear and tear to restore it to its showroom appearance. That is why we urge customers to think about auto detailing as part of their maintenance program, the same as getting a tune-up or rotating their tires.

Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5pm and Saturday 7:30 am to 12 pm

ppointments can be made via phone: 618-335-8394  or directly on our website

n order to better serve our customers, and to allocate the right amount of time needed on making every detail PERFECT, we do not accept walk-ins.  It is very rare we accept walk-ins or same day appointments.

Clay Bar is a flexible putty like substance used along with a lubricant or detail spray to remove microscopic contaminants from your  exterior paint and windows making the surface of your vehicle extremely smooth in preparation for polishing and waxing.

There are many contaminants that attach themselves to your exterior surfaces as you drive.  You can tell by running your hand across the hood or the lower part of the vehicle behind the front tire. If it feels gritty like sand paper then your vehicle is in need of clay bar treatment. These contaminants cannot be removed by just washing  but only by using the Clay Bar treatment .. then your vehicle is considered clean.

The Clay Bar treatment is the first step in our paint correction process. Using Clay Bar can be somewhat abrasive, therefore paint correction is always recommended afterwards.

Most services take 2–6 hours depending on vehicle size and condition.

Not usually. We’ll give you a target pickup time when you book.
