Answer: Most waxes last for 4 to 6 months of ultimate protection. After that they start washing off and evaporating.

(5) Is Wax or Paint Sealant with PTFE better?

Answer: It depends on the way you care for your car. Paint Sealants with PTFE are great for the person who doesn't wax their car on a regular basis. Paint Sealants with PTFE protects your car for a year. Waxing regularly ( 4 times a year) is just as good.

(6) Can you remove scratches from my cars paint?

Answer: Yes, most times we can. If you can catch your finger nail in the scratch it's most likely too deep!

(7) What do you do to the deep scratches you can't remove?

Answer: We try to round the edges and polish the inside so there not dull and white any more. Less noticeable!

(8) Can you get all the stains out of my interior?

Answer: Stains that have been in a real long time or coffee and juice stains might not come out. If they have already been cleaned once they might already be locked in.

(9) How do you remove odors from interiors?

Answer: Besides heavily cleaning your interior we can also use enzymes to go after the organic materials and the bad cases we have an ozone machine.

(10) How often should I steam clean my engine?

Answer: Really the only time you need to clean your engine is when your looking for leaks or it's really dirty. Other wise it's just for cosmetics.

(11) Can the water or steam cause problems to the engine's electrical system?

Answer: Rarely it can cause some problem with an electrical component. Usually we just have to dry out the distributor cap and some connections.

(12) Why should I pay someone to detail my car rather than detail it myself

Answer: We all know sometimes your better off leaving it to the professionals. You could never achieve the same quality without the knowledge, tools and products a good Detail Shop has.
