Common questions

How often should I book an exterior detail?

For most vehicles in the Bay of Plenty, every two to three months keeps the paint protected against salt air, UV and road grime. Cars parked outside or near the coast benefit from more frequent attention.

Will this remove scratches and swirl marks?

An exterior detail focuses on cleaning, decontamination and protection rather than correction. To remove swirls and restore clarity, look at Paint Enhancement or the Paint Correction & Lifetime Ceramic Coating Package.
