Start with your car
Is your concern everyday dirt, the cabin, the appearance of the paint, or protection? Describe what you see and what you want to improve. Photographs can help begin the conversation, but they do not replace an assessment of the car.
Different jobs, different decisions
Washing is about cleaning. Detailing focuses attention on particular areas. Polishing addresses the paint finish, while wax and coating are different finishing or protection options. Do not choose a treatment on its name alone: ask what is included.
Compare the complete scope
Ask about preparation, the chosen product, the expected time, and care afterwards. Compare written inclusions as well as the quotation. Confirm any product-specific warranty separately; a treatment name does not establish warranty coverage.
General information. Confirm product-specific treatment and aftercare directly with your detailer.
