FAQs

How different is ceramic coating from vehicle wax?

Usually lasting few weeks to several months, car wax is a natural or synthetic chemical that offers a protective layer on the paint of your vehicle. Conversely, a liquid polymer called ceramic coating chemically interacts with the paint to provide several years of long-lasting protection. Comparatively to wax, ceramic coatings also offer more protection against UV radiation and environmental toxins.

Can I detail a car using normal home cleaners?

Regular home cleaners should not be used for car detailing since they are not designed for automotive surfaces and can damage them. Household cleaners could harm paint, remove residue on surfaces, and strip wax. Products meant especially for car detailing are ideal for guaranteed safe and efficient cleaning.

We are extremely well satisfied with the work done by Darren on our two cars; an eleven year old Audi and an eleven year old Lexus. The cars look almost new. Darren showed up on time, did the work efficiently and thoroughly, and the price was very competitive. We will definitely use his service again.

Darren did a great job on my pickup truck I use for construction. I was surprised how clean he got it inside.

Tyrone came out today and detailed my dad’s Tesla model X for us. Let me tell you - that man is so incredibly positive. You just feel good talking to him. He spent a large amount of time detailing his car and it looks better than it did the day he bought it! We could not be more thrilled and will continue to use Tyrone every month to detail and keep it looking great! The pricing is extremely competitive and even on the lower end compared to other mobile retailers! We are extremely pleased all the way around!

If I could put 10000+ Stars I would. Words can't explain how satisfied, I am. Tyrone did a phenomenal job, he took his time and you can tell he loves what he does. My car looks brand new, the seats are so clean and when I opened my car the smell of brand new car hit me. If you are looking for someone to detail your car STOP LOOKING, Because you found them and the customer service is excellent! I highly strongly recommend them you will not be disappointed!

02/08/24 We are not local to this area, visiting with our son. Three large cups of coffee were accidentally split in our vehicle this morning... What a mess! Found some one online who didn't do interior detailing, however recommended Darren. He made arrangements to clean our truck that day. His men were here at scheduled time, did a fantastic job! Highly recommend Sumptuous Mobile Detailing!

Amazing and meticulous! Darren did such a great job with my vehicle that his services were requested the very next day by my hubby. My vehicle is so clean that I’m afraid to get in and undo all of his hard work. Most importantly, he took his time and didn’t rush the job.
