For Stony Brook University area residents, we understand the demands of Long Island’s climate. Salt air, road salt in winter, and UV exposure all take their toll on vehicle surfaces. Our protective treatments are specifically chosen to combat these local environmental challenges.

For luxury and high-performance vehicles, we recommend professional detailing every 3-4 months to maintain optimal condition and protect your investment. However, this varies based on usage, storage conditions, and environmental exposure.
Vehicles stored outdoors or driven frequently may benefit from more regular service, while garage-kept weekend cars might extend this timeline. The key is maintaining protective coatings and addressing any issues before they become permanent damage.
We can assess your specific situation and recommend a maintenance schedule that keeps your vehicle in showroom condition while being practical for your driving habits and budget.
Regular car washing removes surface dirt and grime, while professional detailing restores and protects every surface of your vehicle. Think of washing as maintenance – detailing is restoration and preservation.

We use specialized tools, techniques, and products that aren’t available in typical car washes.
For luxury vehicles, this difference is crucial. Professional detailing maintains resale value, prevents long-term damage, and keeps your vehicle performing and looking its best for years longer than basic washing alone.
