Question 1

How long does a typical detail take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the service and the condition of your vehicle. A hand wash takes about 30–45 minutes. A full interior or exterior detail runs 2–4 hours. Premium packages with paint correction and ceramic coating can take a full day. We'll give you a time estimate when you book.

Question 2

Do I need to drop off my car or can you come to me?

Accepted Answer

Both. You can bring your vehicle to our shop at 18676 Eureka Rd in Southgate, or we offer full mobile detailing service across Metro Detroit. Same quality, same products — we bring everything to you.

Question 3

Do you work on all types of vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes — sedans, SUVs, trucks, coupes, exotics, classics, and fleet vehicles. If it has paint, we detail it. Pricing varies based on vehicle size and condition.

Question 4

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. MM Detailing is fully licensed and insured. Every vehicle in our care is covered. You can have complete peace of mind when you trust us with your car.

Question 5

Why do prices vary?

Accepted Answer

Vehicle size, paint condition, and the level of contamination all affect how long a job takes and what products are needed. A compact sedan in good condition costs less than a large SUV with heavy paint defects. We provide a free estimate before any work begins so there are no surprises.

Question 6

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept cash, all major credit and debit cards, Zelle, Cash App, and Apple Pay. Payment is collected upon completion of the service.

Question 7

Do you offer any discounts?

Accepted Answer

We offer package pricing that saves you money compared to booking individual services. We also run seasonal promotions — follow us on Instagram @MM_DETAILINGLLC to catch those. Referral discounts are available too — ask us about it.

Question 8

What products do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use only professional-grade, pH-balanced products from trusted brands. For ceramic coating, we're factory-trained and certified in Ceramic Pro — one of the top ceramic coatings on the market. No cheap shortcuts, ever.

Question 9

Can you remove pet hair?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our full interior detail includes thorough removal of pet hair from seats, carpets, and hard-to-reach areas using professional extraction tools. For heavy pet hair situations, let us know when you book so we can allocate extra time.

Question 10

Do you clean engine bays?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Engine Bay Detail ($50) includes safe degreasing, controlled rinse, and professional dressing of all plastics and rubber components. We use careful, controlled methods to protect sensitive electrical components.

Question 11

What's the difference between wax and ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Wax provides a temporary shine and light protection that lasts a few weeks to a few months. Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent chemical bond that lasts years — it repels water, dirt, UV rays, and contaminants at a level wax simply can't match. We use Ceramic Pro which carries a 10-year warranty.

Question 12

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

Our Ceramic Pro ceramic coating is rated for up to 10 years with proper maintenance. We'll walk you through exactly how to care for it after application to get the maximum lifespan.

Question 13

Is paint correction safe for my car?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Paint correction is performed by our trained professionals using controlled machine polishing techniques. We remove a microscopic amount of clear coat to eliminate defects — well within safe limits. Your paint's integrity is never compromised.

Question 14

Can you fix deep scratches?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, yes. Our Deep Scratch Removal service uses advanced wet sanding and multi-stage machine polishing to remove scratches without touch-up paint. We preserve your OEM finish for a seamless result. If a scratch is too deep for correction, we'll let you know upfront.

Question 15

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 1–3 days in advance for standard services. For premium packages and ceramic coating, 3–5 days is ideal. Same-day and next-day appointments are available depending on our schedule — call or text us to check.

Question 16

What should I do to prepare my car?

Accepted Answer

Remove any personal belongings and valuables from the interior. If you're bringing your car to our shop, just drive it in — we handle everything from there. For mobile service, make sure we have a clear, shaded space to work if possible.

Question 17

How do I maintain my car after a ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Avoid washing your vehicle for 7 days after application to allow the coating to fully cure. After that, wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo — no automatic car washes with brushes. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend specific products when we hand your keys back.

Question 18

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We recommend regular maintenance washes every 2–4 weeks to keep your vehicle in top condition between major details. Ask us about recurring service scheduling when you book.
