“I am very happy with the results of your work. The work was first class and I certainly will be using your services again in the future.”

-Mike Austin, Google Review

I try to keep our SUV clean but I do not have time to do that “spring cleaning” that is needed. For the last two years LUX CARE has detailed our SUV and I have already talked with them about this year. Their interior and exterior work is excellent.

I also appreciate their promptness and professionalism.

General Questions

Are you by appointment only?

primarily, yes, we operate by appointment only. However, there may be occasions where we can accommodate same-day service, depending on your location and the requested services. Nonetheless, approximately 98% of the time, appointments are required.

Do I have to be present the entire time for the detail?

Your presence for the entire duration of the detailing service is not mandatory; in fact, you don't need to be present at all. All we require is access to your vehicle and sufficient workspace. Regarding payment, we can conveniently send you an online payment link, allowing you to carry on with your day while we handle the work.

Do you accept card?

Absolutely, we do accept card payments. You can choose between cash or card based on your preference. However, please note that we do not accept checks or money orders.

Is there a mobile fee charge in order to come out?

We do not charge a mobile fee to service your vehicle. However, the farther out you are from our primary area, the higher the minimum purchase amount will be. For example, if you’re within 15 miles, the minimum order might be $50 for us to go out. If you’re 25 miles away, the minimum will be $200.

Premium Exterior Detail FAQs

Will this remove scratches from my paint?

While it won't eliminate scratches entirely, applying a ceramic sealant can help conceal and minimize the appearance of micro scratches on your paint. The sealant forms a protective layer over the paint, which can fill in some of these scratches and enhance the overall shine of your vehicle.

How long does the ceramic sealant last?

The longevity of the ceramic sealant depends on how you store and maintain your vehicle. If your vehicle is frequently exposed to harsh elements like sunlight, rain, and bird droppings, the ceramic sealant may last around 2 to 3 months. However, if your car is mostly parked in a garage, you can expect the wax to provide protection for 4 to 6 months, particularly if you regularly wash your car and apply a spray wax after each wash.

Do you clay bar the paint?

Absolutely! As part of our process, we ensure that your paint is thoroughly cleaned of any loose dirt or bonded contaminants to allow the wax to adhere properly. We achieve this by both mechanical means, such as clay barring, and chemical methods, such as using an iron remover, to decontaminate the paint surface.

My paint feels rough. Will this service take care of that?

It sure will! Our service will address that rough feeling on your paint. There are typically two reasons for your paint feeling rough: Firstly, it might have accumulated a significant amount of stuck-on dirt over time due to a lack of recent clay bar treatment. Secondly, it could be due to paint overspray landing on your vehicle. In either case, a clay bar application is precisely what's needed to restore the smoothness of your paint surface.

How long does this service take?

The duration of the service varies depending on the size and condition of your car. Typically, it takes between 3 to 5 hours to complete.

Premium Interior Detail FAQs

How long does it take to clean my interior?

The time required to clean your vehicle's interior depends on its size and current condition. As a general estimate, it usually takes between 3 to 5 hours. However, once we assess the condition of your vehicle, we can provide a more accurate time range for completion.

Will my car smell like chemicals once you’re done?

Definitely not. We prioritize using gentle, non-toxic cleaning products, ensuring that your car retains its natural scent or the pleasant aroma of cleanliness after our service. To date, we've never had a customer mention any lingering chemical smells post-service.

What’s your cleaning process?

Our cleaning process is tailored to the specific condition and material of your interior. We utilize a range of brushes, cleaners, and machines to ensure thorough cleaning. Depending on the situation, we may employ techniques such as brushing for light cleaning or using steamers and extractors for more intensive treatment. With our extensive experience in cleaning dozens of interiors, rest assured that we have proven methods to address various conditions effectively. You can trust that your vehicle is in capable hands!

How long does it take for the floor mats to dry after a shampoo?

In warmer weather conditions, after completing the interior cleaning, the floor mats typically reach about 85% dryness. It usually takes an additional hour for them to completely dry. However, in colder weather, the drying process may take longer as water doesn't evaporate as quickly from the fabrics. Rest assured, we take care to avoid OVER SATURATING your fabric during cleaning, so you won't see any puddles of water. Furthermore, we utilize a specialized upholstery tool that is designed to minimize water saturation on the surface, resulting in faster drying times.

Do you remove seats to get underneath them?

We've developed techniques and acquired specialized tools and products that enable us to access many areas within the interior without needing to remove the seats. Therefore, seat removal is typically unnecessary for our cleaning process.

Basic Exterior Detail FAQs

Does this remove scratches, water spots, or roughness from the paint?

The BAsic exterior detail primarily focuses on maintenance rather than thorough cleaning or polishing of the paint. As a result, it is not designed to remove scratches, water spots, or surface roughness from the paint.

What’s the difference between the local car wash and your basic exterior detail?

While both services involve washing cars, our exterior detail takes the process to a higher level to ensure superior results.

Here's how our basic exterior detail differs:

1. Safe Washing and Drying Method: We utilize a method that minimizes the risk of introducing swirls and scratches to your vehicle's paint.
   
2. Thorough Water Removal: We ensure all water is thoroughly blown out from the nooks and crannies of your vehicle to prevent water spots and streaks.
   
3. Door Jamb Cleaning: We pay attention to detail by cleaning the door jambs, leaving no area untouched.
   
4. Spray Wax Application: We apply a spray wax to enhance the shine of your vehicle's paint, leaving it looking glossy and protected.
   
5. Tire and Fender Dressing: We finish off the service by dressing the tires and fenders, giving them a clean and polished appearance.
   

Overall, our Premium Wash is designed to provide a thorough and meticulous cleaning experience, leaving your vehicle looking its best inside and out.

What kind of spray wax do you use?

WHEN IT COMES TO SPRAY WAX, WE PREFER FORMULA 4 SPRAY WAX BY SUPERIOR PRODUCTS.

How long does this service take?

The duration of the service varies depending on the size and condition of your car. Typically, it takes between 2 to 3 hours to complete.

Basic Interior Detail FAQs

What’s the difference between the basic Interior Detail and the premium Interior Cleaning?

The premium Interior detail involves a comprehensive overhaul of your vehicle's interior, addressing every area from top to bottom and front to rear to restore it to the best possible condition. On the other hand, the basic Interior Detail focuses on a thorough vacuuming and wiping down of dust accumulated on surfaces. It serves as more of a maintenance or upkeep service rather than a deep cleaning of the entire interior.

Does the Basic Interior Detail remove stains or pet hair?

Yes, if you have something specific in mind you want cleaned, just let us know when requesting a quote. Of course, the price will be higher for the additional work we provide but we can definitely take care of that for you.

How long does this service take to complete?

The duration of the service varies depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. Typically, it takes 2 to 3 hours to complete.

I’m not sure if I need the Basic Interior Detail or the Premium Interior Detail.

No worries at all! Feel free to send us some photos of your vehicle's interior, and we'll be happy to assess the condition and recommend the most suitable option for you, whether it's the Basic Interior Detail or the Premium Interior Detail.

Engine Bay Detail FAQs

Is water going to damage my engine?

Water can potentially damage an engine if not handled carefully, but rest assured, we take every ​precaution to ensure the safety of your vehicle during the cleaning process. We do not flood the engine ​with water; instead, we use just enough to rinse off the cleaner and dirt, which is minimal. Our technique ​involves using the wand at a safe distance from sensitive areas, and we also take the additional precaution ​of covering up any sensitive components to further mitigate any risks. Your vehicle's safety is our top ​priority.

There was an oil leak. Can you clean that?

Regrettably, if the oil or grease leak is extensive, we may not be able to fully clean it up. Such leaks tend ​to permeate into various nooks and crannies of the engine bay, which are challenging to access. Moreover, ​if the leak has persisted for an extended period, it can further complicate the cleaning process. Our engine ​bay cleanings primarily address surface-level areas, and extensive leaks may exceed our capability to ​clean effectively.

Can you come just to clean my engine bay?

At this time, we no longer offer this as a standalone service. You’ll have to pair it with another service for ​us to come out to you

What’s the engine cleaning process?

Our engine cleaning process involves inspecting the engine, covering sensitive areas, thoroughly spraying ​and agitating, drying, and applying dressing to plastic and rubber components. We use various brushes to ​reach intricate areas.

Do you shine the engine bay?

Absolutely! After cleaning and drying the engine bay, we apply a water-based dressing to all plastic and ​rubber components, leaving the engine bay with a shining finish.
