Cosmetic Reconditioning
Reconditioning is the budget-friendly cousin of full-on replacement: Similar glow-up with less financial trauma. Using a secret cocktail of chemicals and techniques (think spa day meets science lab), we tackle oxidation, scratches, stains, and other cosmetic crimes. The mission? To make your item look as close to "brand new" as possible - without it actually being brand new. Kind of like a really convincing Instagram filter for your stuff.
Before: science experiment.
After: electrical cover.
Amazing what a little elbow grease (and mildew remover) can do!
Leather Care & Reconditioning
Leather surfaces require consistent care to prevent premature wear and damage. Along with routine cleaning, regular conditioning is essential to keep leather supple and to avoid it drying out, becoming stiff, and eventually deteriorating. Once wear sets in, reconditioning and repair become necessary.
Bringing Back Fabric and Carpets
Fabric seats, carpets, and headliners are prone to staining, and when it happens, it’s best not to wait. The quicker we can treat the stain, the more successful we’ll be at removing it.
Depending on the type of stain and its location, we use specialized chemicals and techniques to target the problem without accidentally "setting" the stain or discoloring the surrounding areas. Timing and precision are key!
For tough mobile extraction jobs, we rely on the power and efficiency of the RipClean BetterExtractor - an industry-grade solution that delivers exceptional results wherever we go. Want to see what it can do? Learn more about our equipment and services at RipClean.com.
Paint Correction
Often what comes to mind when people contact a detailer, paint correction is more than just polishing. It's a multi-step process that may involve both cutting and finishing stages to restore the paint's clarity and gloss.
Detailers carefully choose the right combination of chemicals, tools, and techniques based on the paint type, its current condition, and the desired outcome. After decontaminating the surface, microscopic layers of damaged clear coat are mechanically removed—just enough to eliminate defects without compromising the integrity of the finish.
Before: Swirl marks and surface imperfections. After: Deep gloss and clarity restored through precision paint correction.
