Frequently Asked Questions:

How long does a detail take?

Typical timelines range from about 2 to 4 hours for Premier Interior, 3 to 5 hours for Executive, and a full day or longer for Extreme Make Over depending on paint condition and requested services.

What is the difference between wax and ceramic coating?

Carnauba wax offers a warm gloss and short-term protection, while ceramic coatings provide a harder, longer-lasting layer that resists UV, chemicals, and light marring and makes washing easier for months or years depending on product and care.

Can you remove smoke or pet odors?

Yes. Our interior steam cleaning, extraction, and deodorizing process targets embedded odors. Severity, time, and material type affect final results, and multiple treatments may be recommended for heavy cases.

Do you offer paint correction for swirl marks and scratches?

Yes. Our Extreme Make Over package includes multi-step paint rejuvenation, scratch and contaminant removal, and a 3-stage process for dark colors to minimize swirl marks. We will inspect the finish and recommend the appropriate level of correction.

Do you have military-friendly options?

We proudly serve Fort Carson and the broader military community. Ask about current promotions and package recommendations when you call 719-220-8055.
