Frequently Asked Questions – Luxury Mobile Detailing
Detailing FAQs for Laguna Beach
At Luxury Mobile Detailing, we know every vehicle and vessel requires different care. That’s why we’ve compiled answers to the most common questions we receive about our detailing services — from ceramic coatings and mobile detailing to RV and boat care. Whether you’re in Laguna Beach or a nearby area, these FAQs will help you understand our process, pricing, and what to expect from each service.
Mobile Detailing FAQ’s
Whether it’s your first time booking mobile detailing or you have used similar services before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach drivers. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
What exactly is mobile detailing?
Mobile detailing brings professional cleaning, restoration, and protection services directly to your home, workplace, or preferred location. Instead of driving to a shop, our fully equipped mobile unit arrives with everything needed water, power, tools, and premium products to detail your vehicle on-site with convenience and precision.
Do you need access to my water or electricity?
No — our mobile setup is self-contained. We bring our own water supply, power source, tools, and equipment. You only need to provide space for us to work safely around your vehicle.
How long does a mobile detail take?
Depending on the service, vehicle size, and condition, most mobile detailing appointments take 1.5 to 4 hours. Deep clean services, pet hair removal, heavy staining, or multi-vehicle appointments may take longer.
What should I do to prepare before my appointment?
Very little! Just ensure your vehicle is accessible and parked in a spot where we can work — ideally with enough room to open the doors fully. If your community or workplace has detailing restrictions, please confirm ahead of time.
What’s included in a mobile detail?
Yes — as long as we have access to the vehicle and permission to work on the property. Many clients book mobile detailing during work hours or while running errands to save time.
Is mobile detailing as good as shop detailing?
Absolutely. Our mobile unit uses the same professional-grade tools, chemicals, and techniques as top detailing studios. In many cases, mobile detailing is even better because we offer 1-on-1 attention with no rushed turnaround times.
Ceramic Coating FAQ’s
Whether it’s your first time booking a ceramic coating or you have had protective services before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach drivers. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
Professional-grade ceramic coatings typically last 2–7 years depending on the product, maintenance, and environmental conditions. With proper washing and annual inspections, many clients experience even longer durability.
What’s the difference between wax, sealant, and ceramic coating?
Wax and sealants provide short-term protection (weeks to months), while a ceramic coating chemically bonds to your clear coat, creating a long-lasting, durable shield against UV rays, oxidation, and contaminants. It also delivers unmatched gloss and hydrophobic performance.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coatings are scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. They help prevent micro-marring and swirl marks from improper washing, but cannot stop deep scratches or physical impact. Proper washing techniques are still important.
Can I take my car through automatic car washes after coating?
Avoid automatic brushes — they cause swirls and reduce coating life. Touchless washes are acceptable, but hand washing using the two-bucket method is the best way to maintain the coating.
How long does the coating installation take?
Most vehicles require 1–2 days, depending on the level of prep work, paint condition, and number of coating layers. Correct prep is essential for the coating to bond properly.
Does the coating need maintenance?
Yes. Coatings benefit from regular, proper washing and optional booster top-coats every 6–12 months to keep hydrophobic performance strong and ensure longevity.
Will the coating protect against water spots?
It reduces water spotting but does not make your paint immune. If water dries on the surface, minerals may still leave marks. Regular washing and drying helps prevent this.
Paint Correction FAQ’s
Whether it’s your first time booking paint correction or you have had restoration work before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach drivers. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
What is paint correction?
Paint correction is a multi-step machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, oxidation, holograms, light scratches, hazing, and other imperfections from your clear coat. The result is a dramatically deeper, glossier, mirror-like finish.
How do I know if my vehicle needs paint correction?
If you notice dullness, spider-web swirls, fine scratches, or your paint looks cloudy under sunlight, you likely need correction. Many brand-new vehicles also arrive from dealerships with defects.
Will paint correction remove all scratches?
It removes most defects but cannot safely remove deep scratches that have penetrated the clear coat. If you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it may require touch-up or wet sanding.
How long does paint correction take?
Depending on the paint condition, vehicle size, and correction level, the process usually takes 4–12+ hours. Severe corrections can extend to multiple days.
Do you recommend ceramic coating after paint correction?
Absolutely. Correction restores clarity and gloss, while ceramic coating locks in those results and provides long-term protection. This combination offers the best possible finish and durability.
Will paint correction thin my clear coat?
A minimal amount of clear coat is removed — but only what is necessary. Professional equipment and controlled polishing ensure your paint remains healthy and protected.
Marine DetailingFAQ’s
Whether it is your first time booking a marine detail or you have had vessel cleaning before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach boat owners. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
What does marine detailing include?
Marine detailing typically includes washing, waxing, oxidation removal, interior cleaning, vinyl seat conditioning, mold/mildew removal, and metal polishing. Packages vary from basic wash-downs to full restorations.
How often should I get my boat detailed?
Most boats benefit from detailing every 3–6 months, depending on sun exposure, saltwater use, and storage conditions.
Do you remove oxidation from gel coat?
Yes — we offer oxidation removal and gel coat restoration to revive faded, chalky surfaces and restore shine.
Can you detail my boat while it's in the water?
Yes, many services can be performed dockside. However, heavy oxidation removal or buffing is usually done on land for best results.
What products do you use for marine detailing?
We use marine-grade cleaners, compounds, sealants, and waxes specifically designed for fiberglass, gel coat, vinyl, and metal surfaces.
How long does a marine detail take?
Depending on the size and condition of the boat, detailing can take 2–8+ hours. Larger or heavily oxidized boats may require a full-day service.
Commercial Detailing FAQ’s
Whether it is your first time booking a commercial detail or you have used fleet cleaning services before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach business owners. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
What does commercial detailing include?
Commercial detailing includes a full interior and exterior cleaning tailored for work vehicles and fleets. This covers washing, decontamination, degreasing, interior sanitation, stain removal, odor neutralizing, vacuuming, plastic/vinyl restoration, window cleaning, wheel/tire cleaning, and optional protective coatings. Larger vehicles may also include roof cleaning, cargo area cleaning, and specialized work-truck detailing.
How often should commercial vehicles be detailed?
Most businesses schedule detailing every 4–8 weeks. High use vehicles, work trucks exposed to dirt or job sites, or branded vehicles used for customer facing jobs may require bi weekly cleanings to maintain appearance and prolong vehicle life.
Can you handle large fleets?
Yes. We service fleets of all sizes whether you have 3 vehicles or 150+. We can create a schedule that keeps your entire fleet maintained without downtime or disruption to operations.
What types of commercial vehicles do you service?
We detail service vans, box trucks, cargo vans, work trucks, construction vehicles, utility vehicles, dump trucks, semi trucks, company cars, mobile service vehicles, and most commercial equipment used for field work or daily operation.
What are the benefits of commercial detailing for businesses?
Clean commercial vehicles improve customer perception, protect company branding, reduce corrosion and wear, extend vehicle lifespan, and help maintain resale value. Consistent detailing also improves safety by keeping windows, mirrors, and headlights clear.
How long does a commercial detail take?
Timelines depend on vehicle size and condition. Standard service vans take 1–3 hours. Work trucks or box trucks can take 2–4 hours. Large fleets can be scheduled in batches to minimize downtime.
Aviation Detailing FAQ’s
Whether it is your first time booking an aircraft detail or you have used aviation cleaning services before, here are answers to the most common questions from Laguna Beach aircraft owners. If you need more info, feel free to reach out to our team anytime.
What is aviation detailing?
Aviation detailing is the deep cleaning, polishing, and protection of aircraft interiors and exteriors. It includes everything from wiping down flight decks to polishing metal surfaces and applying protective coatings.
Do you use aviation safe products?
Yes. All products used are aircraft-approved, non-corrosive, and safe for aluminum, composites, plexiglass, and avionics.
How long does an aircraft detail take?
Time depends on aircraft size and service level:
• Small single-engine: 2–4 hours
• Twin-engine: 4–6 hours
• Jet interior/exterior: 6–12+ hours
Can you detail my aircraft inside the hangar?
Yes. Most detailing is performed inside your hangar for safety and convenience. We only require space and access to the aircraft.
Do you offer ceramic coatings for aircraft?
Yes. Ceramic coatings can be applied to paint, metal, and even certain interior surfaces for easier cleaning and long-term protection.
Can you remove oxidation or paint dullness?
Yes. We offer paint correction and oxidation removal specifically tailored for aircraft-grade paint systems.

Based on 105 reviews
Nathan just left after spending a few hours meticulously removing concrete overspray off my pristine Black Jag… I highly recommend him, as he’s prompt, experienced, friendly, and does a great job caring for his customers…
Nathan was polite, courteous, and prompt. I hired him to clean my ceramic coated 4Runner following g a cross country road trip. He polished every inch of that vehicle, to include the roof and roof rack, got every bug off the paint, and was meticulous with his attention to detail. His prices were more than fair... don't hesitate to schedule with Nathan!
Nathan is very nice. Wanted to get my mother’s car cleaned up. He worked SO hard on it. Also, detailed my truck. Great job 👍
Nathan was responsive and patient with both my questions and calendar. He showed up early and did an excellent job! My BMW looks amazing! I have already referred him to a very close friend! I will update my review as I get the opportunity to see the ceramic coating in action through paint protection and keeping it looking pristine as well as hopefully making the maintenance of keeping the car clean a much easier task. Friendly, quality service delivered with care! Thanks Nathan love the shine!!!
Masterful job done on my black Rivian!
Professional, comprehensive, fairly priced. My two Beemers are perfect after Nathan’s service.
Great results! Love how my Rivian turned out after the ceramic coating.
My car had not been detailed since I bought it almost 10 years ago. Nathan was able to buff out several scratches and the car looks great, almost as good as it did when I bought it!
Met Nathan for the first time this morning! Arrived at my home right on time. Detailed my new Tesla this morning inside and out!! Looks absolutely beautiful and only took about two hours. Great job! I will be using his services each month! Thanks Nathan!!
Nathan is prompt and DELIVERS! Definitely a guy that’s washing my cars and motorcycles…. 🤙🏻😎
