Frequently Asked Questions

Do you come to my location, or do I need to bring my vehicle to you?

We are fully mobile and come to your location throughout the Nelson-Tasman region. This provides maximum convenience as your vehicle never has to leave your property while still receiving professional-grade service.

How long do detailing services take?

The time varies depending on the service. Basic detailing typically takes 3-5 hours, while ceramic coating applications can range from same-day "drive-away" service to 2+ days for premium coatings, depending on the preparation required and coating selected.

How often should I detail my vehicle?

For vehicles without protective coatings, we recommend a full detail every 3-6 months to maintain optimal condition. Vehicles with ceramic coating typically need only a maintenance detail annually, with regular gentle washing in between.

What makes ceramic coating better than waxing?

Traditional waxes last 1-3 months and offer limited protection. Ceramic coatings chemically bond to your paint, creating protection that lasts years with superior resistance to environmental damage, chemicals, and UV rays, while also providing enhanced gloss and easier cleaning.

What are your payment methods?

We accept various payment methods including bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and mobile payment options. We can discuss payment details during your consultation.

Do you provide any guarantees?

Yes, we stand behind our work 100%. Our ceramic coatings come with warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the product chosen. We're not satisfied until you're completely happy with the results.
