Booking and Pricing

How do I book an appointment?

Use the booking form on our contact page, or call or text (707) 292-4553. We confirm the date, time, and price with you before the appointment.

How do I get an exact price?

Prices on the site are starting points. Send your vehicle details or a few photos and we will confirm the total before booking.

Do prices change based on vehicle condition?

Yes. The listed prices are starting points. Heavy soil, pet hair, odor, excessive stains, water spots, larger vehicles, or specialty cleaning may change the final quote.

What forms of payment do you accept?

Zelle, Apple Pay, cash, and check. We do not take credit cards.

What are your hours?

Monday through Saturday, 7:30 am to 5 pm. We are closed on Sundays.

Your Appointment

What do I need to provide?

Just access to the vehicle and a safe place to work. We bring our own water, power, and supplies.

Do I need to be home during the detail?

No. As long as we can access the vehicle and there is a safe place to work, you can go about your day.

How should I get my car ready for the appointment?

Take out personal items and valuables, and let us know about any stains, smells, or problem spots you want us to focus on. Everything else, we handle.

How long does a full detail take?

Most full details take about three to five hours depending on vehicle size and condition.

What happens if it rains on my appointment day?

We watch the forecast. If rain is on the way, we reach out before your appointment and give you two options: reschedule for a dry day, or drop your vehicle off at our Santa Rosa garage and we detail it indoors.

Choosing a Service

Which detail package should I choose?

If you want the best overall reset, start with the Premium Detail Package. If you mainly care about the cabin, choose Interior Detailing. If the paint needs shine and protection, choose Exterior Detailing or ask about Paint Correction.

What types of vehicles do you detail?

Cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans, work vans, and boats. Larger vehicles take more time, so the price is based on size.

Are ceramic coating and paint correction separate services?

Yes. Paint correction improves gloss, clarity, and paint defects through polishing. Ceramic coating adds long-term hydrophobic protection and gloss after the paint is properly cleaned and prepared.

How often should I get a full detail?

Many customers book two to four times a year, with maintenance washes in between.

Will paint correction remove every scratch?

It removes most swirls and light scratches. A scratch you can catch with a fingernail is often too deep to remove safely, but it can usually be made much less visible.

Is an exterior detail the same as a car wash?

No. It is a careful hand wash plus decontamination and sealant protection, done with paint-safe methods.

Ceramic Coating

How much does a ceramic coating cost?

Ceramic coating starts at $750. The final price depends on the size of the vehicle and how much polishing the paint needs first. We give you the price before any work starts.

Do I need paint correction before a ceramic coating?

Not always. New or well-kept paint may only need a light polish. If the paint has swirl marks or light scratches, correcting them first gives a much better result.

What does a ceramic coating protect against?

It helps protect paint from UV fading, bird droppings, tree sap, water spots, and road grime, and makes the car much easier to wash. It does not stop rock chips or deep scratches.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Anywhere from about a year to several years, depending on the coating chosen and how the car is washed and cared for. We help you pick the right option for how you use your car.

What ceramic coating do you use?

We use Gtechniq ceramic coatings. How long a coating lasts depends on the product chosen and how the car is washed and maintained, and we go over that with you before we start.

How do I wash a ceramic coated car?

Use a pH-neutral car soap, clean wash mitts, and the two-bucket method. Avoid automatic brush car washes. Maintenance washes are available too.

Service Area

Do you service areas outside Santa Rosa?

Yes. Miguel serves Santa Rosa and nearby Sonoma County communities. You can view the service areas page or ask about your address before booking.

Can you work on a rural property with no water hookup?

Yes. Our mobile setup brings its own water and power.

Each service page also answers questions about that service. Start with our services or see all prices.
