Wash & Wax FAQ's

It really depends where you store your vehicle. If the car is outside 90% of the time then it won’t last a very long time since its getting hit by the sun and rain. You can expect up to 3 months of protection.

Engine Cleaning FAQ's

It can if your not careful. But we are very carful when working on a customers engine. We use just enough water to rinse out the cleaner and dirt. We cover up sensitive areas before starting the process.

Unfortunately, if the oil or grease is to heavy we won’t be able to clean it, we are unable to reach some of those small crannies where the dirt is stuck. We mainly focus on the top surface of the engine bay.

Depending on size and condition, it would take approximately about 1 hour to finish.

Yes we do dress the plastics to make your engine bay standout and give it a newer look.

Express Wash FAQ's

We both are car washes that’s correct. but we take our process to a higher level to give you a better result. We use safe washing and drying methods to make sure your paint doesn’t get any scratches or swirl marks. We blow out the water from little corners and apply a high quality spray wax that will give your vehicle a nicer shine.

Unfortunately this will not remove roughness in the paint due to it being a regular maintenance focused wash, in order to remove the roughness you can try out our wash and wax where we use the clay bar.

Mini Interior Clean FAQ's

Unfortunately when it comes to removing an odor, it’s a much different process than just cleaning a stain off a seat. This could possibly require a more extensive cleaning process.

One morning he decided to clean his engine bay on his E90 and one of his neighbors decided to take a Walk outside to catch some fresh air and came up to the car and got very surprised on how clean the engine bay came out.

Luis and his team are very professional and know what they’re doing. My goal was to get ceramic coating on my car. I was explained the options and kept informed throughout the process. The car came out spotless with smooth finish, dressed tires and restored plastic trims. I was given maintenance instructions and product recommendations. I will continue to use their services and would recommend them to all of my friends and family.

I called needing a good shampoo on the seats and to remove all the residue from toddler food spills and heard back right away — they were able to get me in the very next day for an interior detail and shampoo. The service was efficient, friendly, and super professional. Everything came out spotless, and the car smells amazing now. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out — highly recommend
