Hilo gets a lot of rain, and the island adds salt air, vog, and red dirt on top of it. All of that builds up on paint and inside the car faster than in a dry climate. Here is a simple way to think about how often to get your car detailed.
Exterior: every month or two
For a daily driver, an exterior detail every month or two keeps dirt, salt, and vog from sitting on the paint. Our exterior detail includes iron removal, a clay bar, and a 6 month ceramic sealant, so water beads off and the car stays cleaner between washes.
Interior: every few months
Sand, crumbs, and pet hair work their way into seats and carpet. A thorough vacuum and wipe down every few months keeps it from getting ground in. With kids or pets, you may want it more often. Our interior detail covers the vacuum, wipe down, cracks and crevices, floor mats, leather, glass, and door jambs.
Full detail: once or twice a year
A full detail covers inside and out in one visit, and includes a 3 month paint sealant. It is a good reset if the car has gone a while without a proper clean, or before you sell it.
Want it on a schedule?
If you would rather not think about it, our monthly maintenance plan is one scheduled detail every month, inside and out. It is $250 per detail, or $225 per detail when you pay for the year up front.
Want longer protection?
Sealants last months. A ceramic coating lasts years with proper care and makes regular washes easier. See ceramic coating vs. paint sealant for the difference.
