At TK Detailing, a full detail typically takes 6 to 10 hours with one technician or 4 to 5 hours with two technicians, allowing time for thorough cleaning, photography setup, and cleanup. Maintenance details usually take 4 hours with one person or 2 to 3 hours with two. Times vary based on vehicle size and condition, but we generally start at 8 a.m. and finish by 4 p.m.

Our interior detailing includes vacuuming, thorough wiping of all surfaces using specialized tools, and application of a UV-protective dressing that conditions plastics and leather. Optional leather and fabric seat coatings add chemical resistance and water repellency. We spot clean carpets and fabrics, with stain removal available as an add-on. Exterior detailing starts with wheel cleaning, followed by a pH-neutral wash, iron remover treatment, clay bar decontamination, hand drying, and a sealant that lasts 3-6 months, repelling dirt and enhancing gloss. Engine bay cleaning is available as a $50 add-on.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.We rarely use wax and do not recommend it, as sealants offer longer-lasting protection, higher gloss, and quicker application. Ceramic coatings last for years, provide swirl resistance (though not full scratch protection), and offer superior chemical and hydrophobic resistance. Sealants are applied over ceramic coatings as a protective layer and are included free with our monthly maintenance plans. We tailor recommendations based on how long you plan to keep your vehicle and offer 2-, 3-, and 8-year ceramic coating options.

Our 1-step paint correction enhances paint by removing 60-70% of swirl marks and light scuffs but rarely removes deeper scratches. Multi-step correction can remove up to 90% of defects but does not fix scratches that penetrate the clear coat. We currently do not offer paint touch-ups.

Avoid products like Armor All that contain chemicals harmful to interior plastics, and never use automatic car washes with spinning brushes, a common cause of paint damage. We offer maintenance detailing starting at $125 and can customize plans to fit your budget and needs. Collaborative, honest, and straightforward.
