Interior Detailing Services
Q: What does your interior detailing service include? Our interior detailing service typically includes a thorough vacuuming, deep cleaning and shampooing of carpets and upholstery, conditioning of leather and vinyl surfaces, meticulous cleaning of all interior panels (dashboard, door panels, console), streak-free window cleaning, and effective odor elimination. Specific inclusions may vary slightly based on the package selected.
Q: How long does an interior detail usually take? The duration of an interior detail depends on the size and current condition of your vehicle, as well as the specific level of service requested. Generally, it can take anywhere from 3 to 6 hours. We will provide a more precise estimated timeframe when you book your service.
Q: Can you remove stubborn stains from my car's interior? While we cannot guarantee the complete removal of all stains (especially older, deeply set, or dye-transfer stains), our skilled technicians use professional-grade products and advanced techniques to effectively treat and significantly minimize the appearance of most stains on carpets, upholstery, and other interior surfaces.
Exterior Detailing Services
Q: What's included in your exterior detailing service? Our exterior detailing service typically involves a thorough multi-stage hand wash, paint decontamination (e.g., clay bar treatment) to remove embedded contaminants, meticulous wheel and tire cleaning with appropriate dressing, exterior trim restoration, and the application of a high-quality paint sealant or wax for brilliant shine and protection. More advanced services like paint correction are also available as an add-on.
Q: How long does an exterior detail take? Similar to interior detailing, the time required for an exterior detail varies. Expect anywhere from 2 to 5 hours, depending on the vehicle's size, condition, and the specific package chosen.
Q: Do you offer paint correction services? Yes, we absolutely offer professional paint correction services. This advanced service addresses swirl marks, light to moderate scratches, oxidation, and other paint imperfections to restore clarity, depth, and gloss to your vehicle's finish. Please inquire about this service when booking, as it requires additional time and specialized techniques.
Auto Ceramic Coating
Q: What is auto ceramic coating? An auto ceramic coating is a cutting-edge liquid polymer that is meticulously applied by hand to the exterior surfaces of your vehicle. Once cured, this coating chemically bonds with your vehicle's factory paint, creating a durable, transparent, and sacrificial layer of protection that is significantly harder and more resilient than traditional waxes or sealants.
Q: What are the benefits of ceramic coating my car with Next Level Detailing? The benefits of a ceramic coating are numerous and include: * Long-lasting Paint Protection: Superior protection against UV rays, environmental contaminants (bird droppings, tree sap, industrial fallout), and chemical etching. * Enhanced Gloss & Depth: Creates an incredible deep, reflective shine that makes your paint truly pop. * Hydrophobic Properties: The coating repels water and makes your car incredibly easy to clean, as dirt and grime have difficulty adhering to the slick surface. * Minor Scratch Resistance: While not scratch-proof, it adds a measurable layer of hardness that helps resist light swirl marks and marring from daily driving and washing. * Reduced Maintenance: Your car will stay cleaner for longer and be much easier to wash, saving you time and effort.
Q: How long does a ceramic coating from Next Level Detailing last? The longevity of our ceramic coatings varies depending on the specific product chosen and, critically, how well the vehicle is maintained after application. With proper care, our professional-grade ceramic coatings can last anywhere from 2 to 5+ years, providing long-term protection and gloss.
Q: How do I maintain my ceramic-coated vehicle? We will provide you with comprehensive, specific care instructions after your ceramic coating application. Generally, proper maintenance involves regular hand washing using pH-neutral car shampoos, avoiding abrasive chemicals, harsh brushes, and automatic car washes that could potentially degrade the coating over time. We also recommend periodic maintenance washes to ensure maximum longevity and performance.
Maintenance Cleaning & Combination Packages
Q: What is maintenance cleaning, and when should I consider it? Our maintenance cleaning service is designed for clients who have already invested in a full detail or ceramic coating and wish to keep their vehicle in excellent condition between major detailing appointments. It's a less intensive, yet thorough, cleaning that focuses on maintaining cleanliness and preserving the protection already applied to your vehicle's surfaces.
Q: Can I combine interior and exterior detailing services? Absolutely! We offer various popular combination packages that provide a comprehensive detailing experience for both your vehicle's interior and exterior. These packages often come at a more cost-effective rate compared to booking each service individually, providing exceptional value and a truly refreshed vehicle.
