F.A.Q.

Questions, answered

How much does mobile car detailing cost in Tacoma?+
Pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and the level of detailing selected. We offer multiple packages throughout Tacoma — request a free quote and we'll give you an exact price.
Do you come to homes and apartments?+
Yes. Southern Detail is fully mobile and services homes, apartments, condos, offices, and workplaces throughout Tacoma, Olympia, and Lacey.
Do you bring your own water and power?+
Yes. Our mobile detailing vans carry water tanks, generators, steamers, and professional detailing equipment. We're fully self-contained.
How long does a mobile detail take?+
Most appointments take 2-5 hours depending on vehicle condition and service selected.
Can you remove pet hair and stains?+
Yes. We specialize in deep cleaning including pet hair removal, stain treatment, shampooing, and odor removal.
Do you detail year-round?+
Yes, rain or shine, all year across the Pacific Northwest.
How long does ceramic coating last?+
With proper care, ceramic coating typically lasts 2-5 years, depending on the tier applied and vehicle maintenance.
How much does ceramic coating cost?+
Cost depends on vehicle size, paint condition, and correction needed — call for a free quote.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches and rock chips?+
Ceramic coating resists light scratches and swirl marks, but won't stop rocks, keys, or major impacts.
Do I need to wash my car differently after ceramic coating?+
Washing gets easier — dirt rinses off with less scrubbing. Use pH-neutral soap and avoid tunnel washes with harsh brushes.
Will ceramic coating stop water spots?+
The hydrophobic finish beads and sheets water off fast, cutting spotting — but we still recommend drying promptly after washing.
Do I still need to wax my car after ceramic coating?+
No. Ceramic coating replaces regular waxing with longer-lasting gloss and protection.
