FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about mobile detailing with SwiftShine.

Booking & visits

Do you really come to me?

Yes. We're fully mobile and detail at your home, condo, office or worksite across the Lower Mainland.

What do you need from me?

A spot with room to open all doors. Let us know if there's an outdoor tap and power outlet. If not, or if you're in a parkade, we'll use rinseless and waterless methods.

Do I need to be home?

Not necessarily. Many customers leave the keys or unlock the car remotely. We'll arrange the details when we confirm.

What if it rains?

Interior details go ahead in almost any weather. For exterior work we can work under a carport or in a garage, or reschedule at no charge.

How far in advance should I book?

A few days ahead is usually enough. For weekends, holidays and ceramic coatings, book a week or more ahead.

Services & results

How long does a detail take?

Express Shine is about 1.5–2 hours, interior or full details 3–6 hours, and paint correction or ceramic coating can take a full day or more.

Can you remove scratches?

Paint correction removes swirls and light scratches. Deep scratches may only improve. We'll tell you honestly what to expect.

Is ceramic coating worth it in Vancouver?

For many drivers, yes. It makes rain bead off and stops grime, sap and salt from sticking, so the car stays cleaner and is easier to wash.

Do you clean pet hair?

Yes. Standard pet hair is included in interior packages; heavy pet hair is quoted as an add-on.

Pricing & payment

How much does a detail cost?

Packages start from the prices shown on our Packages page. Your exact price depends on vehicle size and condition, and you get the quote before we start.

Is there a travel fee?

Most of the Lower Mainland is included. For farther areas a travel charge may apply, and it's always shown on your quote.

How do I pay?

We'll confirm accepted payment methods when you book. You pay after the walk-around, when you're happy.
