  • How long does a detail take?
    The time varies depending on the service package, vehicle size, and condition. A basic detail might take 2-4 hours, while a full restoration or ceramic coating application can take 6-12 hours or more. We'll provide a time estimate when you book.
  • What areas of Oahu do you serve?
    We proudly offer mobile detailing services across the entire island of Oahu!
  • Do I need to be present during the detail?
    You don't need to be present for the entire service, but we highly recommend being available for a final walkthrough upon completion. This ensures you're 100% satisfied with the work before we leave, as per our Satisfaction Guarantee.
  • How often should I get my car detailed in Hawaii?
    Frequency depends on your driving habits, storage, and desired level of cleanliness. However, due to Hawaii's strong sun, salty air, and potential for sand/dirt accumulation 53, we recommend a protective detail (with wax or sealant) every 3-6 months to maintain your vehicle's finish. Interior detailing frequency depends on usage (kids, pets, eating in the car). Regular maintenance washes help extend the life of protective coatings.
  • What's the difference between wax, sealant, and ceramic coating?
    Wax: Natural (like carnauba) or synthetic, provides good gloss and protection, typically lasts weeks to a few months. Sealant: Fully synthetic, offers longer-lasting protection (typically 4-12 months) and often better durability than traditional way. Ceramic Coating: A liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the paint, creating a hard, durable, hydrophobic (water-repelling) layer. Offers the best protection (years, not months) against UV rays, chemicals, and minor scratches, plus incredible gloss and ease of cleaning.
  • Can you remove all scratches and stains?
    We use professional techniques and products to remove or significantly reduce the appearance of many imperfections. However, very deep scratches (down to the primer or metal) may require repainting. Similarly, some set-in stains (like ink, dyes, or old spills) may not be completely removable from upholstery or carpets. We always assess the vehicle and provide realistic expectations before starting work.
  • What payment methods do you accept?
    We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cash. Payment is due upon completion of the service.
  • What is your cancellation/rescheduling policy?
    We understand plans can change! Please provide at least 24-48 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less notice may be subject to a fee, as we reserve that time slot specifically for you.73 (Link to full policy if available).
  • Are your cleaning products safe for my car's surfaces, kids, and pets?
    Yes! We prioritize using high-quality, professional-grade products that are safe for automotive surfaces when used correctly. We also opt for eco-friendly and biodegradable options whenever possible, minimizing harsh chemicals.40 If you have specific sensitivities or concerns, please let us know when booking.
  • What do you need from me for a mobile appointment?
    We need access to your vehicle (keys) and enough space around it to work comfortably (like a driveway or parking spot). Our mobile unit is typically self-sufficient with water and power, but access to an electrical outlet or water spigot can sometimes be helpful for certain tasks or extended services. We'll confirm requirements when you book.
  • How long does a mobile detailing service take?
    The duration of a mobile detailing service depends on the package you choose and the condition of your vehicle. A basic detail might take 2-3 hours, while a more comprehensive service could take 4-6 hours or more. We will provide an estimated time when you book your appointment.
  • Can you detail my car at my workplace?
    Yes, we can detail your car at your workplace as long as there is sufficient space and access to your vehicle. Our mobile unit is equipped with everything needed to perform the service on-site, providing you with convenience and flexibility.
  • What products do you use for detailing?
    We use high-quality, professional-grade products that are safe for your vehicle's surfaces. Our products are eco-friendly and biodegradable whenever possible, ensuring the best results while minimizing environmental impact. If you have specific preferences or sensitivities, please let us know when booking.
  • Do you offer any discounts or promotions?
    We occasionally offer discounts and promotions for our detailing services. Please check our website or contact us directly to learn about any current offers. Additionally, we provide special rates for repeat customers and referrals.
  • Are you licensed and insured?
    Yes, we are fully licensed and insured, providing trusted, professional auto detailing services with peace of mind.
  • Can I bundle services to save money?
    Yes! We offer exclusive discounts when you bundle services like ceramic coating, paint correction, and interior detailing, ensuring maximum value for your investment.
  • What are the benefits of ceramic coating for my vehicle?
    Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection against UV rays, oxidation, and contaminants while enhancing your car’s shine. It also makes cleaning easier by repelling dirt and water.
  • Do you offer mobile detailing, and how does it work?
    Yes! Our mobile auto detailing service in Honolulu brings premium car care directly to your location. We arrive fully equipped and require minimal setup, ensuring a hassle-free experience.
  • Are your detailing products eco-friendly and safe for my car?
    Absolutely! We use water-saving techniques, biodegradable cleaners, and steam-based detailing to provide eco-friendly auto care without compromising quality.
  • How long does ceramic coating last, and which option is right for me (1, 2, or 3 years)?
    Our 1-, 2-, and 3-year ceramic coatings offer varying levels of durability. The 1-year option is ideal for short-term protection, while the 3-year coating provides maximum longevity and resistance to environmental damage.
