Automobile Detailing Frequently Asked Questions

What does car detailing mean?
Car detailing is a comprehensive art of transforming vehicles, which goes above and beyond a regular car wash. Our professional mobile detailing services will not just clean your car but give its interiors and exteriors a sparkling makeover, with deep cleaning, restoration, and protection. The time, product, and professional attention the detailers offer will elevate your driving experience and can also increase your car’s lifetime and value.
How long does each mobile detailing service take?

The total duration of each service will depend on the size of your car and when it was last detailed. Here is an estimate of how long the automobile detailing service would take based on the package you have chosen:

  • The Mini: 45 minutes – 1 hour & 15 minutes
  • The Bling: 1.5-2.5 hours
  • The Bling Bling (Exterior Only): 1.5-2.5 hours
  • The Bling Bling (Interior Only): 1.5-3 hours
  • The Bling Bling: 2.5-5 hours
  • The Wow: 5-8 hours

 

Please note that The Mini is allotted a maximum time of 45 minutes for recurring and 1.5 hours for one-time service. If the car is in poor condition, we recommend a higher level of detail to achieve your goal.

Do I need to provide you with water and power?

No, you do not have to worry about providing the detailing team with water or power! The assigned car detailer will bring their own water, power, equipment, and products to your location in San Diego to give you a consistent and hassle-free car detail experience every single time!

Does car detailing fix scratches and dents?

If your car has scratches that have not gone through the paint then they can likely be buffed out and polished with our car detailing packages. Choose “The Bling Bling” service for a few minor scratches or “The Wow” service for multiple and heavier scratches. In the worst case, if the scratches have gone beyond the clear coat, we can connect you with a local paint shop for the required professional repair.

 

Car detailing does not fix dents. We can connect you with a local shop for body dents. However, we can help with rim dings as a separate service.

What does an interior car detailing include?

We provide full interior detailing for your car as a part of “The Bling Bling” and “The Wow” packages. The detailing teams will perform the following services during a full interior detail:

 

  • Full interior and trunk vacuum
  • Interior wipe down
  • Window clean
  • Plastic dressing
  • Leather deep clean and conditioning
  • Fabric car seat shampoo
  • Upholstery and carpet shampoo

With add-ons to include: 

  • Pet hair removal
  • Sand removal
  • Odor removal
  • Biowaste removal
  • Baby car seat detailing
  • Mold removal
How often should you clean your car?

The ideal cleaning frequency for your car depends entirely on your environment and how often you drive. Some clients with kids who can soil the interiors in a few days opt for a mini detail every few weeks with full details spaced out throughout the year. 

On the other hand, some clients take great care of their car and do a full detail once after summer and once around the holidays to make sure relatives are impressed.

At La Jolla Mobile Car Detail, we can customize our packages and service frequency, based on your lifestyle and needs.

What is the best way to wax your car?

When cleaning and waxing your car, always keep a high-quality microfiber towel handy. As another rule of thumb, use plenty of water as a lubricant to avoid scratching paint that has thick residue.

 

Step 1 – Power washing: Start by power washing the exterior to remove hard surface sediments. Ionized water is the best option for this purpose as tap water can leave water spots.

 

Step 2 – Clay bar treatment: Once your ride is power washed, it may benefit from a clay bar treatment. This step involves a handheld device that further removes sediments that might be stuck deeper in the paint’s pores. This is a crucial step if the car has been outside since waxing as there could still be small grains of rocks in the paint that may create micro-scratches. You don’t want that!

 

Step 3 – Apply wax: Prep a waxing pad with a high-grade wax, then apply the wax on your car’s surface in gentle circular motions. Try to distribute the wax evenly over the surface. After a few minutes, carefully buff the wax using a microfiber towel to reveal a lustrous finish.

 

We recommend Carnauba paste wax for the best results, or you can also try using a sealant.

Do you take off child seats during detailing?

While detailing technicians are professionals when it comes to scrubbing down your ride in great detail, they are not experts in all the different child seats. You should take out and put back in the child car seats to avoid potentially compromising the safety of your little ones.

Is it ok to take my car through a machine wash?

We do not recommend taking your car through a machine wash if you wish to keep your vehicle forever or resell it in the future. Sadly, every time you take your car through a machine wash, the fabric that’s spinning on the machine creates hundreds of micro-scratches that add up over time. If you truly love your car and care about the paint lasting a long time, there are better options like professional automobile detailing.
