What is a detail shop?

A detail shop does the deep, hand-finished work: clay-bar treatment, paint polishing and correction, interior shampoo, and ceramic coating — far beyond what any automated wash does.

Detailing is for restoration, sale prep, paint correction, or anyone wanting a showroom-level result. Prices run $80–$300+ per job and the work is booked by appointment, not drive-through.
