What is Detailing? It just seems like an expensive car wash.
While cleaning a vehicle is a key part of detailing, detailing consists of much more than that. A quick wash at an automatic or hand car wash only washes the surface of your vehicle with very low quality soaps and acid cleaners in some cases. These remove any form of protection on your vehicle and expose it to the harmful elements. Also note that most hand car washes often do more damage than good because of the use of improper washing techniques and old wash media.
At Elegance Auto Restylng, I go in depth to properly clean and decontaminate the vehicles paint before correcting and protecting it. I only use the highest quality products and use proper techniques to do so. Before even setting a date, I graciously take the time to sit down with every new customer and carefully explain each step of my services, their reasons and their benefits, thus giving the client a better understanding of the importance of my work and to help guide them in the right direction before choosing what service is right for them.
"Detailing is an art, not a cleaning service. Whether it be a Ferrari or a Ford, that car is someone's pride and joy and deserves to be treated as such. Some works of art are worth millions, and to an owner, a car can be priceless. Having it professionally detailed is a small price to pay to have it properly restored and maintained."

Why should I have my car detailed?
For most people, their vehicle is the second most important investment after their house. You take care and maintain your home for both personal reasons and potential resale reasons, so why not do the same with your vehicle? While some will argue that a vehicle is simply a tool to get from point A to point B, it still remains an expensive asset and maintaining it simply allows its owner to make the most of their investment.
In many cases, a very important factor when choosing a vehicle, is the way it looks. It's the part of choosing a vehicle where you get the most choices and options. You finally come to a selection that makes it notably yours. After all, you wouldn't want to drive a car you think is unattractive, would you? Once purchased, it can becomes your pride and joy because it represents and expresses you, so why not take care of its paintwork just as you would its mechanical aspect? A well kept vehicle, both mechanically and esthetically, will hold a higher resale value and will simply last longer. Much like regular tune-ups keep the mechanical components in check, regular exterior maintenance keeps its body in good shape and rust free.

What can I do to keep my car looking good longer?
While detailing a vehicle is the only way to bring out its full potential, there are some tips, tricks and best practices to maintaining your vehicle. The best option is to opt for regular maintenance washes and packages. In the situation where one would like to maintain the vehicle themselves, another option is available. After every detail, I personally give each owner tips and tricks as well as product recommendations to maintain their vehicle. In some cases, I can even arrange to order professional products for clients if they so desire.
When is it most important to have my car detailed?
Maintaining a clean and protected car is important at all times. However, there are two crucial periods during the year where special attention is needed: Just before Winter and in Spring.
Winter, being a harsh time with road salt and grime, combined with less frequent washes can have devastating effects on a vehicle's paint work. A proper preparation in the Fall protects a vehicle for the months to come.
Once Winter has passed and the protection begins to lose its effectiveness, a follow-up is highly recommended to properly clean and rid the vehicle of any clinging salt remains and contamination. This is also the perfect time to make the vehicle look its best for the warm season with a polish.

What is a "step?"
Many aesthetic centers and detailers will claim they have many different steps when detailing, often to glorify their work with a large number. But what does that number really mean? In most cases, not much.
I don't "fluff" anything up. I simply tell it like it is. My paint correction packages vary based on the number of steps required to achieve the desired level of correction. Each step consists of a combination of 1 pad and 1 polishing product. If either of these is changed, it then becomes a different step. It really is that simple.

What are your credentials? How can I trust you?
The concern is understandable. In today's society, it is very hard to find trustworthy people, especially when it comes to luxury services such as detailing.

Are you mobile or do I have to bring my car to you?
All vehicles have to be brought to my location. I do not offer mobile detailing.
Are there cancellation fees?
There is a $50 cancellation fees if you choose to cancel or reschedule your appointment within less than 48 hours. I always try to get in touch to confirm appointments a few days prior, but it should be on the vehicle's owner to let me know as soon as possible if an appointment needs to be canceled or rescheduled.
