How often should I get my vehicle’s exterior detailed?

It's recommended to get your vehicle’s exterior detailed every 3 to 6 months to maintain its appearance and protect the paint. Regular detailing helps prevent paint damage from environmental contaminants and keeps your car looking its best.

Will the Exterior Detail service remove scratches and swirl marks?

Our Exterior Detail service includes polishing, which can help reduce the appearance of minor scratches and swirl marks. For deeper scratches, we may recommend additional paint correction services to achieve the best results.

Is the Exterior Detail service safe for all types of paint finishes?

Yes, our Exterior Detail service is safe for all types of paint finishes, including clear coat, single-stage, and matte finishes. We use high-quality products and techniques tailored to your vehicle’s specific paint type to ensure safe and effective cleaning and protection.

How does Chicago’s weather affect the need for exterior detailing?

Chicago’s weather, with its harsh winters and hot summers, can be tough on your vehicle’s exterior. Road salt, snow, rain, and UV rays can all damage the paint. Regular exterior detailing helps protect your car from these elements, preventing rust and fading while keeping your vehicle looking great year-round.

Can you detail classic or vintage cars?

Yes, we have experience detailing classic and vintage cars. We understand the special care required for older paint finishes and delicate parts. Our team uses gentle, appropriate methods to ensure your classic car is treated with the utmost care and respect.

What is the difference between waxing and sealing in the Exterior Detail service?

Waxing involves applying a natural or synthetic wax to the paint, which provides a glossy finish and short-term protection. Sealing, on the other hand, involves using a synthetic sealant that offers longer-lasting protection against the elements. Both options enhance the appearance of your vehicle, but sealants generally offer more durable protection.

Purchased exterior detailing from their website. Diana was able to get me in the next day, where they picked my car up at 10am from my work and dropped it back by 5pm, right in time for me to drive back home after work. Car came back perfectly shining again. Was extremely satisfied with the quality of work, ease of communication, and convenient concierge pick up/drop off of car.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. I had exterior detailing performed on my car due to rust/ tar marks as a result of parking underneath the L tracks. From the moment I reached out asking for an estimate, I felt relieved that they would be able to get the job done. Everything was explained in detail to me. Everything was stress free as they picked my car up from work and returned it in the same day. Updates on my car were sent to me via text. The results were absolutely phenomenal and better than I expected.

Had an exterior detail with carrectly and they did a great job. Dispatcher was professional, courteous, and communicated appropriately. Technician also did a great job and car was picked up and returned on time. There was one issue I needed corrected and they came back promptly the next day and fixed it before sending the final invoice. All around great experience.
