What type of chemicals do you use? Are they safe and eco-friendly?
- We prioritize both the safety of your vehicle and the environment in every service we provide. That's why we exclusively use pH-neutral soaps and rinseless wash solutions, meticulously selected for their compatibility with city drains, as well as their gentleness on your car's paint and any existing coatings. Our all-purpose cleaners are derived from citrus bases and are diluted to concentrations that are safe for both automobiles and the environment. As members of this community, the health of our surroundings and the satisfaction of our clients hold equal importance to us.
Do you have insurance?
- Yes, we are fully licensed to provide services in the Victoria Greater Area and extend our coverage all the way up to Nanaimo, inclusively. Rest assured, we operate with full insurance similar to any reputable garage, including comprehensive liability coverage. The moment we take possession of your keys, we assume responsibility, ensuring that your vehicle is in safe, professional hands throughout the detailing process.
How long does a detail take?
- The duration of a detailing session can vary, ranging from 2 hours to up to 8 hours, depending on the specific services included in your chosen package. The exact timeframe will be clearly communicated and agreed upon during our initial consultation, allowing you to plan accordingly.
What happens in the event of rain?
- Rain is a significant aspect of life on our beautiful island, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to managing it. In the event of rain, we will reach out to you to discuss the best course of action based on the specific services you've selected and your ability to provide an indoor space, like a garage, where we can complete the detail. We aim to proceed with the detailing work, at least partially, despite the rain whenever possible. If conditions make detailing impractical, we will reschedule your appointment to the earliest convenient time, taking weather conditions into account.
What is a rinseless wash?
- We prefer using a rinseless wash because it offers an efficient, eco-friendly way to clean vehicles without creating a mess. This method not only conserves water but is also safe and effective on all paint colors and types, including vehicles with paint protection film or ceramic coatings. Rinseless wash allows us to clean your car thoroughly while saving time and resources, making it an ideal choice for maintaining your vehicle's cleanliness and shine with minimal environmental impact.
Why don't you offer a wax and sealant combo?
- We choose not to offer a wax and sealant option because we utilize a graphene ceramic spray, which offers superior benefits for your vehicle's paint and clear coat protection. This innovative product not only provides an exceptional gloss finish but also aids in the drying process by acting as a lubricant, and enhances the vehicle's water beading capabilities. While traditional wax and sealant can offer protection for a similar timeframe of about 3 to 6 months, the graphene ceramic spray's advanced formula delivers these additional advantages, making it our preferred choice for safeguarding your vehicle.
What's the difference between the graphene ceramic spray and a ceramic coating?
- Graphene ceramic spray provides a convenient and cost-effective solution for enhancing your vehicle’s surface protection and hydrophobic properties, with reapplication needed every few weeks for best results. It's perfect for those seeking regular maintenance and added resilience. Ceramic coatings, while offering a longer-lasting, durable layer against environmental damages and adding a glossy finish, are significantly more expensive and involve a more complex application process. At this time, we do not offer ceramic coating services, focusing instead on delivering high-quality graphene ceramic spray applications that strike a balance between performance and affordability.
