Mobile Auto & Boat Detailing Service in Spokane Valley, WA

Mobile detailing brings professional cleaning, paint correction, and protective services to your location—usually with more time, specialized tools, and attention to detail than a drive-through wash. Unlike basic washes, detailing includes deep interior extraction, clay-bar decontamination, polish, and sealants or ceramic coatings. For boats, it also covers gelcoat restoration and vinyl care. Mobile saves you travel time and avoids transporting a boat/car, while delivering a higher level of restoration and protection suited to long-term maintenance.

Remove personal items, loose trash, and valuables from the vehicle/boat to speed service and avoid interruptions. Clear parking access and reserve the space if possible; let us know about steep driveways or tight spots. If you have pets, inform technicians. For boats, secure covers and remove detachable electronics if preferred. Tell us about persistent stains, odors, or fragile trim. Being ready reduces time-on-site and often lowers cost while ensuring a thorough detail.

Time depends on service level, vehicle size, and condition—basic exterior/interior takes 1–3 hours, full multi-stage paint correction or heavy odor remediation can take 6–12+ hours. Boats usually require more time due to larger surfaces and stubborn oxidation. Additional factors: pet hair removal, smoke odor treatments, cracked or heavily soiled upholstery, and whether we must transport water or run a generator. We give realistic ETAs and update you if hidden issues arise.

Frequency depends on use and storage: a commuter car benefits from detail every 3–6 months; show cars may need monthly upkeep. Boats stored outdoors or used on salty water require more frequent cleaning and a pre/post-season deep detail (ideally spring and fall). High-traffic, family, or pet vehicles need more regular interior attention. Ask us for a tailored maintenance plan that balances budget with protection to extend paint, upholstery, and gelcoat life.

We use industry-grade, pH-balanced products chosen for each surface: pH-neutral shampoos for paint, leather conditioners for seats, and minimal-moisture processes for dash and electronics. Sensitive surfaces receive spot-testing and manufacturer-approved treatments. For matte finishes or custom wraps, we use specialized cleaners to avoid shine or damage. Always tell us about aftermarket films, ceramic coatings, or custom interiors so we can adapt methods and protect investment.

Yes—pet hair is removed with specialized vacuums, compressed air, and fabric tools. Smoke odor and mildew require multi-step treatment: deep shampooing, enzyme cleaners, ozone or hydroxyl treatments (if safe for the space), and interior sanitation. Some entrenched odors or mold in padding may need component replacement. We’ll assess and explain realistic outcomes before work begins. Early action prevents permanent odor absorption into foam and trim.

We assess severity and use safe decontamination methods: mineral deposit removers, clay-bar treatment, or light polishing for surface etching. Road salt is rinsed thoroughly and often followed by undercarriage cleaning and corrosion inhibitor application. For acid etching (bird droppings left too long), paint correction or refinishing may be necessary. Prompt professional cleaning reduces permanent damage; if your vehicle/boat is exposed to salt or sap, schedule a rinse/detail sooner.

Detailing can remove swirl marks and light surface scratches via machine polishing and compounds; this is called paint correction. The depth of scratches determines success: clear-coat level scratches often polish out, while deep gouges need touch-up or panel refinishing. Paint correction ranges from one-step polish to multi-stage correction for show-quality finishes. We’ll inspect in natural light, explain realistic outcomes, and recommend protection (sealant or ceramic coating) to minimize future micro-marring.

Boat detailing covers hull/gelcoat cleaning, oxidation removal, vinyl and canvas cleaning, metal polishing, interior sanitation, and bilge cleaning as requested. Gelcoat oxidation is removed via compounding and polishing, followed by sealant or wax; heavily oxidized gelcoat may require multiple passes or professional refinish. Freshwater boats in Spokane Valley still suffer UV and storage wear—seasonal restoration and protective coatings significantly extend appearance and reduce maintenance effort.

Technicians follow strict protocols: spot-test cleaners, use low-moisture methods near electronics, and cover control panels when necessary. We request clients remove valuables; if not, items are moved carefully and logged. Leather, wood, and carbon trims receive appropriate conditioners and UV protectants. For boats, we secure loose gear and isolate batteries when required. Our team documents pre-existing conditions and any sensitive areas to avoid accidental damage and ensure accountability.
