About this service

A meticulous reset, inside and out.

Detailing is the foundation behind every great paint job, every long‑lasting coating, and every flawless film install. Our team treats every vehicle the same way, whether it is a daily commuter or a six‑figure exotic. The goal is the same: a finish that looks better than the day you drove it home.

Detailing is the foundation of every great paint job, every long‑lasting coating, and every flawless film install. Our detail menu ranges from a thorough wash and interior reset to multi‑stage paint correction that polishes away years of swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation.

Every detail is done by hand in our Ann Arbor facility. We use pH‑balanced shampoos, decontamination clays, and high‑end polishes from brands trusted by the world's top detailers. Interiors are steam‑cleaned, leather is conditioned, and fabric is treated with care.

If you are planning a ceramic coating or paint protection film install, we always start with the appropriate level of correction so your investment is locked in over a perfect surface.

Visual guide

Match the detail tier to your vehicle's condition.

Every detail starts with the same standards. The difference between tiers is depth: how aggressively we correct paint, how deep we go into the interior, and whether we are prepping for a coating or PPF install next.

Why it matters

The difference you will actually see and feel.

True paint correction, not just a polish

Multi‑stage compounding and polishing physically removes swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches for a glass‑like reflection.

Spotless, conditioned interior

Steam cleaning, hand vacuuming, leather conditioning, and fabric care reset every interior surface, including the parts most shops ignore.

Engine bay and wheel wells

Dressed engine bays, polished trim, and clean wheel wells finish the look so the vehicle is detailed, not just washed.

Pre‑coating preparation

If PPF or ceramic is in your future, our detail packages prep the surface to a coating‑ready standard so your investment is locked in over a flawless finish.

What it protects against

Every threat your finish faces, neutralized.

A breakdown of the real-world damage we shield your vehicle from, every season, every commute.

Swirl marks and wash damage

Years of automatic washes and improper drying. Multi stage correction polishes them out and resets the gloss.

Oxidation and dull paint

Sun and salt strip clear coat over time. Decontamination and polishing restore depth and color.

Bonded contaminants

Iron, brake dust, tar, and tree sap embedded in the surface. Iron decon and clay bar pull them out before any polishing.

Stains, odors, and pet hair

Steam, enzyme treatment, dedicated pet hair removal, and odor neutralization reset the interior.

Faded trim and tired wheel wells

Trim restoration and wheel well cleaning bring the small details back to life.

Pre coating imperfections

If a coating or film is next, correction first ensures the surface you lock in is the surface you actually want.

Our process

How a auto detailing install goes down.

  1. 1

    Walk the vehicle

    We document existing condition, listen to your goals, and recommend the package that fits both.

  2. 2

    Decontaminate

    Foam soak, two‑bucket hand wash, iron decon, clay bar. Every surface is reset before any polishing or coating.

  3. 3

    Correct

    Where requested, we machine‑polish the paint to remove swirls and restore depth, working under inspection lighting to confirm results.

  4. 4

    Interior reset

    Steam, hand vacuum, leather conditioning, and fabric care. Glass is finished last for a streak‑free finish.

  5. 5

    Final inspection

    We move the vehicle into bright lighting for a final walkthrough before keys are returned.

Is this for me

Perfect for the way you actually drive.

The most important detail you will ever do. Done right, your ceramic or PPF install is locked in over a perfect surface for years.

Pre sale and trade in

A proper detail can add real dollars to your trade in or private sale price. We turn well used into well kept.

Newly purchased used vehicles

Reset a previous owner's wear, smells, and surface scratches so the car genuinely feels like yours.

Aftercare

Keep it looking like the day we delivered it.

Routine washing

Hand wash every two to four weeks with a pH neutral shampoo. Two bucket method preferred to keep grit off the paint.

Skip automatic brush washes

Brushes reintroduce the swirl marks we just removed. Stick with touchless or hand washing.

Drying

Use a clean microfiber drying towel or a touchless dryer. Never towel a dirty surface.

Interior

Vacuum every couple weeks. Wipe touch points like steering wheel and shifter with a leather safe wipe to keep them feeling new.

Annual deep detail

Even with a coating, an annual deep detail keeps wheels, jambs, and engine bay looking their best.

Paint protection

If you loved the corrected finish, lock it in with a ceramic coating or PPF so the work lasts for years.
