How long does a detail take?

A Signature Hand Wash takes 45–60 minutes. An Interior Detail runs 90 minutes to 4 hours depending on condition. A Full Detail is typically 3–5 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

Do I wait at the shop or drop off?

Drop off is the norm. We're on Aurora Ave N — easy to drop off and grab a coffee, run errands, or head to work. We text you when your car is ready.

How often should I get my car detailed?

For most drivers, a full detail 2–3 times a year keeps your car in great shape. If you have pets, kids, or a long commute, quarterly is better. We can recommend a schedule based on how you use your car.

Professional headlight restoration in Seattle — before and after clarity

Over time, your headlight lenses oxidize. UV exposure breaks down the clear coat on the polycarbonate plastic, causing them to turn yellow, hazy, or foggy. It doesn't just look bad — it dramatically reduces the amount of light that actually reaches the road, making nighttime driving less safe.

Our headlight restoration process involves wet sanding the damaged outer layer, compounding and polishing the lens back to clarity, and then applying a UV sealant to protect against future oxidation. The improvement is immediate and visible — most headlights come back to 85–90% of their original clarity.

At $120 for both headlights, this is a fraction of the cost of replacing headlight assemblies, which can run $200–500+ per side depending on your vehicle. Already booking a detail? Add headlights to it for $85 instead. Either way, it's one of the best value services we offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

With our UV sealant, results typically last 1–2 years depending on sun exposure and where you park. Garage-parked vehicles stay clear longer. When the hazing starts to return, just come back for another round.

$120 for restoration vs. $200–500+ per side for new assemblies — it's almost always worth trying restoration first. If your lenses aren't cracked or physically broken, restoration produces excellent results at a fraction of the cost.

Yes — the same process works on oxidized taillights. Mention it when you book and we'll include them in your appointment.

We block about 90 minutes for a standalone headlight appointment, which covers prep, wet sanding, polishing, and letting the UV ceramic seal set up properly. If you're already booking a detail, we fold it into that visit for $85.
