DETAILING

Reconditioning and Protection
Evocative Detailing

Experience more than carwash.

The best car washes remove dirt and debris on the surface.
Our detailers use professional techniques with world-class products to go beyond surface cleaning.

After removing contaminants embedded into surfaces, cosmetic reconditioning is usually required on exterior surfaces. On well-maintained vehicles, this may be a simple 1-step polish to increase the shine. Other vehicles may require more extensive work to improve appearance. Each situation is unique based on the surface condition and your deisred results. Call us at 239-560-4800 to schedule an inspection so that we can provide you the most accurate quote.

Most detailing also includes the application of durable protectants as a final step. In southwest Florida, both interior and exterior surfaces are quickly affected by UV rays. Accordingly, we ensure that our waxes, dressings, and sealants offer UV protection for at least months.

If you'd like a longer-term solution, professional grade coatings are available for paint, glass, leather, and fabric. When an approved coating is professionally applied, the vehicle becomes eligible for a multi-year cosmetic warranty.

Typical Steps of Exterior Detailing

Decontamination
Depending on the defects present and desired outcome, decontamination of embedded contaminants may require chemical and/or mechanical measures. A variety of techniques from clay bar paint cleaning to wet sanding are options based on the vehicle's condition and desired outcome.

Paint Correction
Once the surface is adequately decontaminated, some degree of paint correction will be required. This may involve multiple steps, but at minimum polishing is recommended.
Paint protection options include traditional or synthetic waxes, sealants, and durable professional grade coatings.
Protection & Glass Cleaning
The final step is to protect the cleaned and corrected surfaces by applying a traditional or synthetic wax, sealant, or professional grade coating. This delays future contamination, which keeps the great appearance longer while making maintenance washes easier. We finish with glass cleaning, but a hydrophobic glass coating may also be applied if desired.

Typical Steps of Interior Detailing

Decontamination
We first remove the surface dirt and can address embedded contaminants in the fabrics, carpets, plastics, leather, and other interior surfaces. Depending on the condition and desired outcome, detailing brushes, air tools, steam cleaning, extraction, and/or surface-specific chemicals may be used to achieve desired results.
Protection
Surface-specific protective coatings are applied to delay future decontamination. This reduces the need for frequent maintenance cleaning since dirt and debris will clean up more easily. We have various protective options available for most surfaces to meet your budget. These include dust-resistant dressings, sealants, and long-term professional grade coatings.
Glass, Plastic, and LCD Screen Cleaning
Interior glass surfaces are cleaned with a tint-safe solution. Plastics and LCD screens that exist in most modern vehicles are cleaned using specific procedures to prevent damage.Â

The self-cleaning property of proper surface protection.

We typically see our customers once a year. It's not that we don't like them. Rather, we provide results that require only occasional maintenance throughout the year. Proper protection causes the surface to repel water. In doing so, water on the surface traps and carries away dirt and is said to have a "self-cleaning" property whereby it looks cleaner longer.

We can provide touch-ups and maintenance washes and encourage this as needed. We also have car shampoo designed specifically to rejuvenate the surface protection when it begins to fade. However, if you're only looking for a quick exterior wash, a drive-through brushless wash is the most affordable.
