Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a car wash, a valet and a detail?
A wash is exterior cleaning only. A valet (or 'groom') adds interior vacuuming, wipe-downs and windows. A detail goes deeper — clay bar, machine polishing, engine bay, and often paint protection — and takes hours rather than minutes.
Is ceramic coating worth the money?
It buys easier washing and gloss retention for 2-5 years, not invincibility. It only makes sense on paint that's been properly corrected first — a coating over swirl marks locks the damage in.
What does pet hair or smoke odour removal cost?
Both are common surcharges — typically 15-40% on top of an interior detail. Ozone or enzyme treatment for smoke can be a standalone service; heavy pet hair is often quoted after inspection.
Is mobile detailing as good as a workshop?
For washes, valets and interior work, yes — mobile units carry water and power. Machine polishing and ceramic coatings are better done indoors where lighting, dust and temperature are controlled.
Can detailing remove scratches and swirl marks?
Machine polishing removes most swirl marks and light scratches that haven't broken through the clear coat. Deep scratches that catch your fingernail need touch-up paint or a body shop.
How long does a full detail take?
A full interior and exterior detail typically takes 3-6 hours. Paint correction adds a day, and multi-stage correction plus ceramic coating can take 2-3 days with curing time.
What does detailing cost in Malaysia?
Basic washes run RM15-50, full details RM250-800, and polish-plus-coating packages RM800-3,000. KL and Penang studios anchor the top of the range.
