Question 1

What's the difference between your detail packages?

Accepted Answer

All of our packages use professional-grade products — no consumer-grade shortcuts at any level. The Essential covers the fundamentals: a thorough hand wash, interior vacuum, window cleaning, tire dressing, and full surface wipe-down. The Signature goes deeper with clay bar paint decontamination, pure polymer paint sealant, leather conditioning, deep mat shampoo and extraction, and single-process polishing — it's designed as a complete annual reset for most vehicles. The Elite is our flagship: multi-stage machine micropolishing preps the paint properly before a professional ceramic coating is applied by a certified installer, and the interior is detailed to the highest level with high-grade protectants throughout. We also offer standalone Interior and Exterior Detail packages for focused needs.

Question 2

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

A professional ceramic coating applied by Ocean Gloss Detail can last up to 18 months — but the true key to longevity, durability, and appearance is in the prep and the install. Proper preparation involves numerous steps, and the coating application itself requires real expertise. Applying a coating unevenly or skipping critical prep steps can compromise both how long it lasts and how it looks. We've worked with ceramic coatings as the technology has evolved — growing with new products and formulas as they came to market — so we understand them at a level most detailers simply don't. That experience means we know exactly how to prep each vehicle and how to apply the coating correctly every time. Coatings are built to protect, and we make sure yours performs the way it was designed to. The reality is most coatings underperform because they were never properly prepped or applied in the first place. We'll walk you through exactly what to expect for your specific vehicle after your service.

Question 3

Will paint correction remove all scratches?

Accepted Answer

We use a professional process called micropolishing — a precision polishing technique that safely removes very fine scratches, light swirl marks, and light oxidation. Micropolishing is designed to retain as much of your clear coat as possible, protecting the underlying layers of paint. Deep scratches that have cut through to the primer or bare metal cannot be corrected through polishing alone and may require paint repair.

Question 4

Can you detail my car if it's really dirty or hasn't been done in years?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We've seen it all. Heavily neglected vehicles often benefit most from our services. We'll assess the condition and recommend the right approach.

Question 5

Do you detail trucks, SUVs, and large vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We detail all vehicle types including sedans, SUVs, trucks, and luxury vehicles across the Charleston area.

Question 6

What products do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use professional-grade products exclusively — no consumer-grade shortcuts. Over more than a decade in the industry we've tested virtually every professional product on the market, including brands like Gtechniq, Gyeon, Carpro, Rupes, Meguiar's Professional, and many others. That experience means we know exactly which product to reach for based on your specific vehicle's paint type, condition, and what it needs. The right product for the job — every time.

Question 7

How do I maintain my car between details?

Accepted Answer

Use a pH-neutral car wash soap, avoid automatic car washes with brushes, and keep up with regular rinses especially after rain or exposure to salt air. If you have a ceramic coating, we'll give you a specific maintenance guide after your service.
