The duration of the detailing service depends on the type of service you choose. For a standard exterior cleaning, it typically takes 1-2 hours. For more comprehensive services, like our Level 3 Detail, it can take anywhere from 5-7 hours, when you are looking to do the complete vehicle. We prioritize quality and never rush the process because we’re committed to providing exceptional results, which is why we take the time needed for every vehicle. That's what we're known for here in Southeastern Connecticut.

While a car wash may be quick and convenient, it only offers a surface-level clean, typically just a rinse and basic soap application for the exterior. It doesn’t address deeper cleaning needs like embedded dirt, stains, scratches, or odors. Our interior and exterior detailing services go beyond that, providing a comprehensive clean and restore process. We use specialized treatments such as clay bar applications and interior stain removals that a car wash simply can’t match. With our attention to detail, we ensure your vehicle looks and feels fresh inside and out, improving both its appearance and longevity. For a higher level of care that truly benefits your vehicle, our detailing services are the way to go.

Exterior detailing goes beyond the basics, offering specialized treatments like clay bar applications, paint correction, and protective coatings to enhance your car’s shine and safeguard it from environmental elements. Interior detailing focuses on deep cleaning, removing stains, odors, and reaching those tricky areas that a car wash misses. For drivers in Southeastern Connecticut who want to preserve their vehicle’s appearance and longevity, auto detailing is an essential step that goes well beyond a simple wash.
