FAQ

Questions people ask.

Didn't find yours? Just text me.

Yes. Research from Cox Automotive shows detailed cars sell 5-12% higher and 2.3× faster on private-party markets. Clean photos on Facebook Marketplace get dramatically more buyer inquiries than dirty ones. Our clients gain $1,800-3,200 on average compared to what dealer trade-in offered them.
Polish removes everything above the clear coat: swirls, light scratches (where your fingernail doesn't catch), water etching, paint transfer. Deep scratches where your fingernail catches need touch-up paint ($80-150 extra). I'll tell you honestly at the start what's fixable and what isn't. No surprises.
No, you don't need to be home. Two things on your side: (1) please wash your car at your local car wash the day before my visit — I focus 100% of my time on the polishing that adds value to your sale, not on the wash step; (2) leave one standard outdoor outlet accessible. I'll text update photos when I arrive, during work, and when complete.
Honest answer: I focus only on the polishing that actually adds value to your car's sale price. Most clients already have a monthly car wash subscription ($20-30/month). Running your car through takes 5 minutes. I skip that step so my 4-6 hours on your driveway go 100% into paint correction and sealant — the work you're actually paying me for. No wasted time on duplicated work.
Different jobs. Traditional detailing studios specialize in long-term ownership — ceramic coatings for 5-10 years of protection, starting at $500-2,600. I specialize in short-term pre-sale and lease-return polishing. No ceramic push. Perfect for your sale timeline. Fraction of the cost.
No, I focus exclusively on exterior polishing to keep quality high. Most pre-sale clients do interior themselves in 30 minutes with Armor All wipes and a vacuum. If you need full interior, I can refer you to a trusted local detailer.
Zelle or cash, due only after the work is complete and you're happy with the result. No upfront payment required.
Usually within 2-5 days. For lease returns with tight deadlines, I offer rush booking (next-day) for a $50 fee. Just mention it in your quote request.

Before We Start

Quick prep on your side.

Three simple things before appointment day, then I handle everything.

🚿

Pre-wash at your car wash

Run your car through Whistle Express, Ultra Wash Club, Moo Moo Express, Sgt. Clean, or any local car wash the day before or morning of. Most of our clients have a monthly subscription ($19.98-$24.99) — 5 minutes, $0 extra. I skip this step so your full 4-6 hours go into polishing.

🔌

One outdoor outlet

Any standard 110V outdoor outlet works for my polisher. I bring a 50-ft extension cord. Garage outlet is fine if driveway is close.

🚗

Clear driveway

I need about 20×10 feet of space around the car. Move other vehicles if possible. Shaded spot is best (direct sun makes polish dry too fast).
