Detail Questions
Most of the time, the answer is yes. The surface of your vehicle faces the harsh environment every time it's on the road or parked outside. Most commonly, a build up from roadway debris, exhaust, tar, and airborne pollutants, is present. Vehicles accumulate these contaminants consistently even at the dealership. The clay bar is essential in decontaminating and smoothing the paints texture. A wax is required after the clay treatment to protect the paint until your next clay treatment.
A waterless or eco-friendly car wash uses highly lubricated solutions to clean the entire vehicle. These environmentally-safe chemicals encapsulate dirt and dust particles. This process is similar to how water removes soil, but the chemical combination of a waterless car wash product is just as effective. The process is relatively simple: you simply spray the surface of the car and then wipe it off with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching. This procedure removes any light dirt or stains from the surface of the vehicle. A waterless car wash is only recommended for cars with light dirtiness that do not have excessive amounts of dirt, such as dried mud or other debris.
The Premier Interior and Premier Exterior packages are the top of the line detailing services available on the market. Each of these packages is a comprehensive solution for the complete cleaning of every aspect of your vehicles interior or exterior. The Exterior package includes services such as tar/sap removal, polishing, complete show room wheel cleaning, chrome/metal polishing, and plastic trim cleaning/dressing. The Interior package includes services such as deep extraction of carpets, mats, and seats, air conditioning steaming (anti-bacterial), complete stain removal (if possible), and extensive odor treatment. These packages are sold separately as both cannot be completed on the same appointment. Book on consecutive days for the complete Premier Detail. If it's not the best detail your car has every received, we'll do it again!
As a rule of thumb, you qualify for an express detail if your carpet and mats are free of excessive dirt and stains, and there is no spilled material such as coffee or food, and the vehicle is free from pet hair and bio-hazards. If you book and express detail and the technician is unable to complete it due to the state of your vehicle, you will have the option or re-book for another time or receive a 90 minute detail service based on what area you would like the technician to detail.

For example, minivans, pickup trucks, crossovers, station wagons, and SUVs.

Before/Upon Detail Questions
You do not need to provide anything for an appointment as our professional technicians come equipped with water, power, and all the equipment and supplies needed to complete the detail of your vehicle. We do ask that you are present for a quick pre-inspection of your vehicle (about 5 minutes) and a quick post-inspection after the detail is complete. (about 5 minutes). If you are unable to be present for either of these, please insure your vehicle is unlocked and easily accessible for our detailer. We require that there is enough clearance around the entire vehicle to fully open the doors and perform a car wash.
In the event of weather, such as freezing temperatures, storms, strong wind, rain, sleet, or hail, Smart Wash will continue to service vehicles in covered areas e.g. garages, parking structures, car ports, etc. If no covered areas are available, the technicians will assess the current climate, and if necessary, our scheduling team will work with you to find a more convenient time to schedule your service.
As professionals, all Smart Wash Technicians can operate manual vehicles. But, motorcycles are a different story!
Having somone present for the detail is not necessary. As long as certain needs are met.
