OUR AUTO DETAIL SERVICES

Regular auto detailing will extend the life of your vehicle since detailing removes contaminants to the paint, leather, or chrome. Your car will look shiny and new!

Also, with regular detailing, we clean your engine of dust, leaks, and dirt, which helps your engine run cooler and smoother.

Short version: Car detailing gives you a deeper clean.

Long version: You might be thinking that a regular car wash does enough to clean your car and it’s cheaper, so why do you need to get it detailed?

This is a case of you get what you pay for. A car wash is a superficial cleanse that looks clean from a distance, but when you inspect your car closer, you could see some imperfections and dirt that wasn’t cleaned away.

Book your auto detail with Car Guard for a more thorough and deeper clean that eliminates scratches, brake dust, and color fading! The result of an auto detail is the restoration of your vehicle to a like-new state, like when you first drove your car off the lot.

For a full detail – at least once per year, but twice is better. If you’re coming in for separate detail services, it depends how clean you think the interior and/or exterior of your car is. However, exterior wax can be applied 4+ times per year.

Actually, you do. It’s a misconception that new cars don’t need to be detailed. Many of the cars are sitting out on the lot for a while before being sold or they are shipped from one dealer to another. While outside the car has to deal with the harsh elements like the sun, rain or snow.

We provide a Deluxe Detail package which includes all the interior and exterior services at a great price.

Our Interior Detail package includes shampooing carpets and seats, shampooing floor mats, deep cleaning, and much more!

The Exterior Detail package includes a full exterior wash which includes door jambs and wheel wells, acid washing brake dust from the wheels, and much more!

Our Special Services package includes add-ons that go with our other detailing packages. Some special services include pet hair removal, headlight restoration, smoke & odor neutralization, and fabric stain removal.

Check out our before and after photos – they speak for themselves.

All cars should get full detail, wax and polish twice a year and continue with routine maintenance in between to maintain the detail. To decide which detail package you need will depend on your lifestyle: Do you have pets? Kids? Is your vehicle parked outside? In a garage?

These details play a role in which detail packages and add-ons you need. However, when you come to our shop, one of our expert detail technicians will run through a checklist to see what services your vehicle will need. So if you don’t know up front, that’s alright. We’ll take care of you and your vehicle.

When you arrive for your appointment, our detail technician will walk around your vehicle with you. We’ll inspect your vehicle and document the areas that need more attention. Our technician will go over our inspection with you to discuss what needs detailing, and you can decide from there. After that, our technician will go ahead and detail your vehicle. When you come to pick up your vehicle, it will shine like new!

We recommend removing all your personal belongings from the vehicle. This will save us time and provide us with a blank canvas to work on.

This depends on the detail service package. A full detailing service could take from 6-8 hours depending on your vehicle size, type, and any add-on services. Plan on us having your vehicle for the whole day.

To keep your car looking new, keep it tidy, avoid spilling drinks, and wash your car to avoid dirt from layering on your paint. These steps will prolong your auto detail, but it’s important to get your vehicle detailed regularly. This will ensure your vehicle remains cleaned and actually costs less in the long run. When you go for long periods of time without detailing, you’ll have to spend money on a deeper clean since more dirt accumulates on your vehicle.

– We vacuum seats, headliners, rear cargo area, and trunk. For areas that can’t be reached with a vacuum, we use high pressure air hoses for a better clean.

– We use a brush and hot water extraction to clean the carpets and mats.

– We scrub the mats a few rounds to treat stains or markings that settled in throughout the years. We also use a pressure washer on the floor mats to better wash away the dirt.

– We use a glass cleaner to clean all the interior glass. This is important so the driver’s view isn’t obstructed. Plus, it looks nice!

– We’ll use a leather cleaner to go over all the leather parts in your car. We use a damp microfiber cloth to remove any excess soap. We also use a leather conditioner after the leather has been dried.

– We will vacuum the entire interior again to capture any dirt that was left over.

– We scrub your dashboards, console, and door panels clean using a gentle cleaning detergent. After these steps, the original shine is restored to your vehicle’s interior!

Smoke & odor neutralization is part of our special services add-ons. We start by detailing your vehicle’s interior, and then we use our odor neutralizing machine to treat those odors. This process takes about 8 hours, or overnight.

Definitely! This is one of our special service add-ons for the interior package. We use air hoses and vacuums to remove pet hair from your vehicle. We also use some professional grade detailing brushes to help pull the pet hair from the fabric. We go through these processes a few times to remove pet hair on your interior.

To maintain your leather seats you may want to clean your seats monthly and apply some conditioner for extra protection. You can ask one of our technicians for conditioner recommendations during your appointment.

Keep in mind that the sun fades the color on your leather seats and damages the leather. If possible, keep your car in a garage or in the shade to protect your seats.

We use hot water extraction for a deeper clean. Most auto detailers only steam clean to eliminate stains, but that doesn’t go as deep into the stain as our Car Guard quality. We prefer a superior clean, so we use premium tools and techniques to make your vehicle look spotless.

– Your car will be sprayed with a high-powered specialized spray.

– We wash the car rims, door jambs, glass, and all the exterior parts that need to be cleaned.

– A clay bar will be used to remove impurities from the paint and any residue that can’t be removed with normal detergents.

– We wax the exterior of your vehicle for protection from the elements. This locks in that glossy shine we restored to your vehicle and keeps your paint looking new.

As often as possible. Many car enthusiasts wash their vehicles at least once a week. Some even wash them once a day! But if you don’t have the time or commitment to wash your car that often, many experts recommend washing your car every two weeks.

If you have a lot of dust, bugs, or salt on your car, you should wash your car more often to protect your paint. Keep in mind that you should be washing your car more in winter than during summertime. Make sure you get all the salt off to prevent from rusting.

Clay bar treatments eliminate the contaminants and pollutants from the surface of your car without scratching. It prepares your vehicle for the wax, so your wax lasts longer.

If you run your hand across your car you can tell if you need a clay bar treatment – it will feel rough, not smooth to the touch. The clay bar grabs those gritty particles and pulls them out of the paint.

We have a special add-on service for color rejuvenation and scratch removal. This involves a multi-step process: remove scratches, buff, polish, and protect. We buff out the impurities, we use polish to bring back the color, and we finish with a protectant to seal in all the work.

This will give your vehicle a brilliant color as well as removing the scratches. Enjoy!
