Common Questions

Don't see yours? Text David and you'll have an answer the same day.

Do I need to provide water or power?

Access to an outdoor spigot and outlet is helpful. If you don't have them, let us know when you book and we'll plan for it.

What areas do you serve?

Bayfield, Vallecito Lake, Durango and Ignacio, plus nearby spots like Gem Village, Forest Lakes, Hesperus and Hermosa. If you're somewhere else in La Plata County, just ask.

How do I get magnesium chloride off my car?

Mag chloride is the dust-control spray used on La Plata County gravel roads. It's corrosive and doesn't rinse off easily with plain water. We use a dedicated pre-soak and wheel-well rinse to break it down, then protect the paint with wax or a ceramic coating so it has a harder time sticking next time.

Is ceramic coating worth it in Colorado?

For most vehicles here, yes. High-altitude UV, winter road treatments, mag chloride and pine sap are all hard on paint. A ceramic coating adds a hard, slick layer that resists them and can cut your washing and maintenance time roughly in half.

How long does a detail take?

A wash and wax or an interior detail usually takes 2 to 4 hours. Paint correction and ceramic coatings typically take most of a day, depending on the vehicle's condition.

Do you detail boats, RVs, semis and aircraft?

Yes. We detail pontoons, wake boats, fishing boats, motorhomes, fifth wheels, luxury coaches, horse trailers, semi trucks, fleet vehicles and private aircraft. RV washes are priced per foot; boats, fleet and aircraft are quoted by size and condition, so send a photo for a quick quote.

How much does mobile detailing cost in Durango and Bayfield?

A full detail, inside and out, starts at $275. An exterior wash and wax starts at $199, interior detailing at $175, express paint correction at $350 and protective coatings at $499. Prices are for cars and light trucks in normal condition, and you get an exact price before we start.

How much does RV or boat detailing cost?

RVs and boats are priced by the foot: $10 per foot for a basic wash and $20 per foot for a wash and wax. A 30-foot motorhome wash and wax is about $600, and a 22-foot pontoon is about $440. Oxidation removal is quoted from photos.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Our 3-year protective coating lasts about 3 years. The MAX ceramic coating lasts up to 10 years. Express paint correction includes a wax that lasts up to 6 months.

Do you detail boats at Vallecito Lake?

Yes. We detail pontoons, wake boats and fishing boats at the dock or on the trailer at Vallecito Lake, and anywhere else around Bayfield and Durango.

Do you offer a maintenance plan?

Yes. Our 6-month maintenance plan includes a monthly interior and exterior detail with spray wax and leather conditioning: $1,500 for one vehicle or $2,650 for two. See the maintenance plan.

What are your hours?

We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 6pm, by appointment. Send a quote request or text anytime and we'll get back to you, usually the same day.
