F.A.Q.

Questions, answered

How much does vehicle protection and enhancement service cost in King and Pierce Counties?+
Pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, and the level of service selected. We offer multiple packages throughout King and Pierce Counties — request a free quote and we'll give you an exact price.
Do you come to homes and apartments?+
Yes. Southern Car Detail is fully mobile and services homes, apartments, condos, offices, and workplaces throughout King and Pierce Counties, including Tacoma, Puyallup, and Spanaway.
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 King and Pierce Counties.
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.
