Hand wash, wheel clean, interior vacuum and wipe down, about two hours.
Two bay shop off Chinden with an inspection light booth, so you see the defects before we correct them and after they are gone.
Prices reflect a mid size sedan. Trucks and three row SUVs run higher.
Hand wash, wheel clean, interior vacuum and wipe down, about two hours.
Hot water extraction on carpet and cloth, leather clean and condition, headliner spot work.
Removes the majority of light swirls and wash marring, finished with a sealant.
Compound and polish for deeper defects on neglected or older paint.
Priced by severity after we look at it, heavy shedders take an extra two hours.
We bring water and power to your driveway inside the service area.
Meridian Auto Detail books a limited number of cars per day on purpose, because correction work done fast is correction work done badly. Paint thickness is measured before any compound touches the panel, and you get before and after photos under the same light. If a defect cannot be safely removed we tell you rather than burning through clear coat.
“Black truck, four years of automatic car washes, looked like a scratch pad. They pulled maybe ninety percent of it and showed me the paint readings for why they stopped there.”
Wes D., 2021 F-150
“Two kids and a golden retriever had destroyed the back seat. It came back smelling like nothing at all, which is exactly what I wanted.”
Alison K., interior deep clean, Eagle
“Sold my car three weeks later for more than the dealer quoted. The detail paid for itself twice over.”
Ramon C., pre sale detail
A tunnel wash removes dirt and usually adds fine scratches while doing it. Detailing is hand work that removes contamination from the paint and then corrects the defects underneath with a machine polisher. That is why one takes eight minutes and the other takes most of a day.
Only if the scratch is inside the clear coat, which you can roughly test with a fingernail. If your nail catches, the scratch has gone past what polishing can safely remove and it needs paint work. We measure clear coat thickness first and stop before it becomes unsafe.
A sealant lasts about four to six months depending on how the car is stored and washed. Correction itself is permanent until new swirls are put back in, and the fastest way to do that is an automatic brush wash. Hand washing with two buckets keeps it looking corrected for years.
No, most customers drop off in the morning and pick up late afternoon. Mobile visits do require access to your driveway but not your presence the whole time. Either way you get photos before we start on anything unexpected.
