Complete Detailing Packages (Int/Ext)


For those who want the Interior and Exterior of their vehicle addressed we offer the following options.


Dream Machine Complete


The Dream Machine Complete is the combination of our Interior and Exterior detailing services. It includes a thorough cleaning of the interior, from headliner to floor mats. Any dry debris (dust, dirt, food crumbs, pet hair etc.) is removed from the cabin utilizing a vacuum and compressed air to blow out tight areas. Carpets and Upholstery is spot treated, or a complete upholstery shampoo/extraction can be optioned based on vehicle condition and budget. Hard surfaces (dash, console, door panels etc) are cleaned, dried and dressed with an optional UV protectant. Leather & vinyl surfaces are cleaned and an optional conditioner can be applied. Interior glass is cleaned for a streak free appearance. The exterior gets a meticulous cleaning of wheels, tires, wheel wells, door jams and windows. Engine compartment cleaning can be optioned. The exterior receives a sno-foam pre-soak to remove any grit and surface dirt before a soft mitt hand wash is performed. For vehicles with bonded contamination such as stuck on tar, over-spray or iron fallout (brake dust) a decon wash is recommended. An optional chemical decon with an iron/fallout remover is performed as well as an optional clay bar service to remove bonded contamination that will not come off from a regular hand wash. The vehicle is thoroughly rinsed with spot free water and dried with plush towels and blowers to remove water from tight areas like grills and trim. Following the wash a high-quality paint sealant is applied to give the paint a deep wet look and provide up to 3 months of UV protection and hydrophobic qualities. An optional ceramic wax can be hand applied for additional durability and gloss. Tires and plastic trim can have an optional dressing applied for a deep black look. If you wish to have any paint defects (minor scratches, swirls, hard water spots etc) removed or reduced from the vehicles finish a “Speed Polish” Paint Enhancement or Paint Correction may be recommended as an additional service. See the Paint Polishing/Correction menu for further details on what is possible.

A La Carte Menu Options


Add any of the A La Carte options found below to create a fully customized complete detailing package specific to your desires and budget.


Interior


Ozone Deodorizing Package:

An Ozone machine is used to eliminate intense odors from spoiled food, cigarette smoke, rodent waist, mold and mildew. This service is only performed after the interior is thoroughly cleaned, as the source of the odor must be removed for the Ozone treatment to be effective.

(Starting @ $75 per hr + Tax) Extreme odors may take several treatments.

Safety Disclaimer: The vehicle must air out for at least an hour before it is safe to occupy.


Upholstery Protection Package:

This is a great addition for family vehicles with cloth upholstery. After upholstery is thoroughly cleaned and dried a spray on fabric guard product is applied to all carpet and cloth seating to give upholstered surfaces moisture repellency and make future clean up easier. Fabric guard can also be applied to cloth convertible tops and even fabric wheel well liners.

LVP Protection & Conditioning Package:

This is a great addition for vehicles with premium interior materials. After thoroughly cleaning Leather, Vinyl and interior Plastics these surfaces are conditioned and protected with a high quality, non-greasy, dry to the touch product that smells great and leaves a rich factory looking semi matte sheen. The product we use is UV resistant, helps prevent fading and cracking and repels dust thanks to it’s non-static properties.

“Seats Out” Package:

In cases of heavily soiled vehicles it is recommended to remove seats to access stains, dirt and debris beneath the seats and shampoo and extract the entire carpet to remedy hidden odors.

($15 per seat + Tax)


Interior Polishing Package:

Interiors in luxury and antique vehicles often have metal, soft glossy plastics or painted interior surfaces. These surfaces can get beat up from normal wear and tear and display swirls, scratches or dullness. Utilizing similar techniques of an exterior paint enhancement, glossy plastic, painted and metal surfaces are polished (by hand or machine) to remove defects and restore luster.

Cabin Filter Inspection:

Unless you take your vehicle in for regular service intervals it’s easy to neglect the cabin air filter. If you’re A/C or heat is smelling a bit musty this might be the culprit. We can inspect the vehicles cabin air filter and recommend replacement if applicable.

Exterior


Headlight Restoration Package:

Modern headlights are made of polycarbonate plastic which is prone to oxidation from UV exposure over time. Cloudy and Oxidized headlights make a vehicle look less desirable and can impede their performance and safety. Headlight restoration is achieved by removing the oxidation with wet-sanding. The headlight’s clarity and brilliance is then restored by polishing them clean and clear. To keep the headlights from prematurely oxidizing again a durable Headlight Coating is applied.

(Starting @ $150 for a pair + Tax)


Engine Bay Detailing Package:

There are many reasons it’s a good idea to keep your engine bay clean. It helps your engine run cooler as it’s not caked in grease and dirt. It makes spotting potential issues like leaks easier and you or your mechanic will appreciate working on a clean engine over a dirty one. It’s also a way your vehicle will stand out when selling it as people will assume it’s well taken care of, which hopefully it is.

Any air intakes, all electrical components such as battery & alternator and any other areas that moisture should not go are taped off, sealed and protected. The entire engine bay is coated with a “dry foam” de-greaser and gently scrubbed with soft or medium bristle brushes. The engine compartment is then given a low pressure rinse to minimize risk of sensitive areas being over-saturated with moisture. Engine components are then thoroughly dried with compressed air. Plastic cladding is dressed with a UV protectant and bare metal components can be polished upon request.

Paint Chip Repair Package:

There is nothing worse than being on the freeway behind a dump truck and then the inevitable happens. Rock chips if not taken care of can lead to long term problems such as corrosion and paint failure.

We go a little bit beyond the traditional touch up kit you can find in an auto parts store and use a variety of tools that will help the repair last.

Rock chips on the vehicle are carefully cleaned of any contaminants that would inhibit paint from sticking. Using a very fine paint applicator, paint is carefully applied to chipped areas and let to dry. Depending on the level of perfection a customer may want to achieve, sanding, air brushing and polishing can also be done for a more undetectable repair.

($75 per hour + Tax) Touch Up Paint Supply is additional cost.


“Wheels Off” Package:

One of our favorite services to offer is the “Wheels Off” wash. Wheels make a dramatic impact on the look of a car and there is nothing worse than a clean car with dirty wheels. Removing the wheels allows for all surfaces of the wheels to be cleaned of baked on brake dust, tar and anything else the wheel has come in contact with.

The vehicle is safely lifted. Wheels are removed and all surfaces including the backsides of the wheels are cleaned. Wheel Polishing and protection can be requested for an additional cost.

(Starting @ $25 per wheel + Tax)


Undercarriage Detailing Package:

Often paired with a Wheels Off service, wheel wells, the braking system and all accessible suspension components are de-greased and cleaned. The undercarriage is also given a foam shampoo and then rinsed.

This is a great service for those seeking to remove road salt and brine from the underside of their car following winter or if they just want the underside as clean as the top side.

(Starting @ $75 Per Hour + Tax)


Paint Decontamination Package:

Following a hand wash if the paint feels rough to the touch then you have bonded contaminants on your paint. Over time contaminants such as ferrous metals (rail dust and brake dust), paint over-spray, tree sap and other environmental pollution can bond to your paint. If the paint is to be machined polished it is important to decontaminate the paint in order to have a truly clean and naked surface to work on.

We utilize a cay bar to “mechanically” remove bonded contaminants and an Iron Remover to chemically remove ferrous metals from the paint. This service leaves the paint feeling silky smooth and fully prepped for any paint polishing.

“Speed Polish” Package:

Clean and add some extra “pop” to your paint with our Speed Polish package. Includes one trip around the vehicle lightly machine polishing the paint with an A.I.O Polish. This All In One Polish helps exfoliate the paint while leaving a slick layer of temporary protection behind. This can be a perfect twice a year service for revitalizing your paint or a great way to get a vehicle ready for re-sale.

Note: this service lightly cleans the paint and enhances overall gloss. Deeper defects will still be present in the paint. A “One Step” or “Two Step” Paint Correction is recommended to remove deeper defect. See our Paint Correction page for details.

(Starting @ $100 per hour + Tax)


Metal Polishing Package:

This is a great addition for classic cars, motorcycles or modern vehicles with lots of bright-work. If the paint looks dazzling, why wouldn’t you want your bright-work to look amazing too? Bright-work such as aluminum trim, chrome bumpers, stainless exhaust tips, engine bay details are polished by hand to remove oxidation and restore a brilliant shine.

(Starting @ $100 per hour + Tax)


“Speed Demon” Package:

With the track day client in mind restore your Track Machine to a Show Queen. Includes rubber residue removal, heavy bug/tar/traffic film removal and Plexiglas cleaning and polishing.

(Starting @ $75 per hour + Tax)
