How long does a full detail take? +
- Level 1 Detail — 1 hr 30 min
- Level 2 Exterior — 1 hr 30 min
- Level 2 Interior + Exterior — 2 hr
- Level 3 Interior + Exterior — 2 hr
- Level 4 Interior + Exterior — 3 hr
- Paint Correction Level 1 — 3 hr
- Paint Correction Level 2 — 6 hr
- Ceramic Coating (IGL) — 7 hr
What's the difference between a wax, a sealant, and a ceramic coating? +
- Wax — 1-3 months. Warm, deep shine. Easiest to apply, shortest protection.
- Spray Sealants — 3-6 months. Easier than wax to apply, better durability.
- Ceramic Coatings — 2-5+ years. Semi-permanent hydrophobic layer. Strongest protection against UV, bird droppings, tree sap, and road contaminants.
Ceramic is the best long-term value if you're keeping the car more than 2 years.
What is paint correction, and do I need it? +
Paint correction is a machine-polishing process that removes a micro-thin layer of clear coat to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation.
You need it if:
- Your paint looks "hazy" in direct sunlight
- You can see spider-web swirls under a streetlight
- You're about to apply a ceramic coating
A 1-step correction removes most defects; a 2-step handles heavier damage.
Do you service trucks, SUVs, RVs, or boats? +
Yes — we detail sedans, coupes, SUVs, pickup trucks, vans, and exotics. On Level 3 and Level 4 packages, vehicle size is priced separately (car / midsize / full-size). For RVs, boats, motorcycles, or lifted trucks, text (619) 341-0016 with photos for a custom quote.
How often should I have my car detailed? +
For daily drivers in San Diego, a Level 1 Detail every 4-6 weeks keeps a clean vehicle looking sharp. A Level 2 or Level 3 Detail every 3-4 months is right for most owners. Coastal vehicles (Imperial Beach, Coronado) benefit from more frequent exterior work due to salt air. Ask about monthly client rates — Level 1 pricing is reserved for clients on a recurring schedule.
Can you remove pet hair, stains, and odors? +
Yes — Level 3 and Level 4 details include carpet and seat shampoo, which addresses pet hair and most stains. Level 4 adds steam cleaning if needed and an interior scent treatment. Excessively dirty interiors, biohazard cleanup, or severe cases (vomit, smoke, flood) may carry additional charges — text photos to (619) 341-0016 for a quote.
Are you insured and licensed? +
Yes. Reflection Detailing LLC is a fully licensed California business based in Chula Vista (ZIP 91913), and we carry liability insurance that covers both the vehicles we work on and the properties we work at. Happy to provide a certificate on request for gated communities, offices, or property managers.
What payment methods do you accept? +
- Credit / Debit
- Apple Pay
- Google Pay
- Zelle
- Venmo
- Cash App
- Cash
No deposit required — payment is collected at completion.
Can I book same-day? What's your cancellation policy? +
Same-day booking is often possible — text (619) 341-0016 for the fastest response. Cancellations are free with 24 hours' notice. Same-day cancellations are a $25 trip fee (we respect your time and we expect the same in return).
What if I'm not happy with the results? +
Every Reflection Detailing appointment ends with a walk-around inspection. If you're not satisfied, we fix it on the spot — no charge. Angel doesn't leave until you're happy. Our 5.0-star rating exists because we'd rather redo a panel than lose a customer.
