## Frequently asked questions
### How much does a real detail cost?
Standard mobile detail (wash + interior + tire dressing): $145–$220. Full interior restoration: $285–$485. Single-stage paint enhancement: $385–$580. Multi-stage paint correction: $680–$1,650 depending on condition. Ceramic coating: $1,200–$3,800 depending on tier and warranty length.

### How long does ceramic coating actually last?
1-year entry coating: 12–18 months. 3-year mid-tier: 3+ years. 5-year flagship: 5+ years with annual inspection. 7-year coatings: 7+ years with annual maintenance visits included. Real coatings (not the "complimentary ceramic" your dealer offers) last what they say if they're prepped and applied right.

### What's the difference between detail and ceramic coating?
Detailing cleans, restores, and protects what's already there (often with a 6-week wax or 3-month sealant). Ceramic coating chemically bonds to your factory clear coat for 1–7 years of hardness, gloss, and hydrophobic protection. Coating is permanent until removed; detailing is recurring.

### Mobile or in-studio?
Mobile for routine details, interior restoration, and one-step enhancements — we work in your driveway or office parking lot. Studio for multi-stage correction and ceramic coatings — controlled environment matters for high-end work. We'll recommend whichever fits your job at the quote stage.

### How often should I detail my car?
Daily driver: full interior + exterior detail every 6 months, between maintenance washes. Garage queen with a ceramic coating: annual maintenance detail. Pre-sale or pre-trade: one big restoration detail typically returns 3–5x its cost in retained value.
