Detailing & Maintenance · Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, Davie FL

Are car detailers worth it?

A good one, yes: they do things a car wash cannot, like decontaminating paint, correcting it, and protecting it, and they do the interior without silicone. A bad one adds swirls and charges for shine. The difference is the process, not the price.

In our bay · Davie, FL

What a detailer does that a wash cannot

How to spot a bad one

One bucket. Brushes. Silicone dressing on every surface. "Ceramic coating" for the price of a wax. A car that looks great wet and swirled dry.

What ours does

Walkthrough inspection, fallout decontamination, safe wash, interior, protection. Maintenance packages from $300, in our own bay, by the same technicians who install our coatings and film. The Ceramic Maintenance Detail once a year keeps a coating warranty valid.

When it is worth the most

Before selling, before coating or film, and once a year on a car you want to keep looking new.

Related questions, answered.

How much should a full detail be?
For a real detail, exterior decontamination plus a thorough interior plus protection, expect a few hundred dollars by vehicle size. Our maintenance packages start at $300. Anything under $150 is a wash with dressing, and anything with "lifetime" in the name is a sealant. Full answer →
How much is a typical detail?
A typical full detail from a proper shop is a few hundred dollars, by vehicle size. Ours start at $300 and include decontamination, a safe wash, the interior and a protection step. Quick washes with dressing are cheaper and are not details. Full answer →
Is restoring your headlights worth it?
Yes, if you protect them afterward. Restoration alone buys a season or two, because the factory UV coating is gone once the lens is sanded. Restoration followed by clear paint protection film on the lens is the version that lasts. Full answer →
How do you fix cloudy headlights permanently?
Restore the lens, then cover it with clear paint protection film. Sanding and polishing clear the haze; the film replaces the UV protection that sanding removed and takes the pitting from then on. Without the film, the cloud comes back. Full answer →
