Understanding the Service Packages

All my packages are base on 3 simple qualifications: Size-of-Vehicle,  Condition-of-Paint, and Type-of-Paint Protection.

Size-of-vehicle: The size and complexity of a vehicle and its panels can be the difference between a few hour job and a job that takes a few days to accomplish. A 2-door Mazda Miata obviously does not have the same panel size real-estate that a Ford F-350 long bed with a matching canopy does. Size Matters.

 Condition-of-Paint: New to you, is not necessarily new paint. From a professional detailers perspective, new paint is only qualified on brand new vehicles or professionally maintained vehicles (that is also relative) brand new vehicles leave dealership lots daily, already scratched, scuffed and swirled. Anything older than 1 year no longer falls under the “New Car” category especially if improper maintenance and washing practices have been used. i.e automated car washes, one bucket quick wash, bird dropping and tree sap left for long durations, etc. My shop lights do not lie.

Type-of-Paint Protection: I offer 3 levels of paint protection.

• Level 1 “PS” or Paint Sealant option. This option may or may not also include a wax application. This option is defined as a superficial level of protection, and a short-term level of protection, 3-6 months on average.
  
• Level 2 “RP” or Reactive Polymer. This option is a mid-long term protection, paint bonding properties, 3 years guaranteed protection.
  
• Level 3 “SV1” or Sapphire V1, semi-permanent long-term paint bonding 5 years guaranteed protection (as long as it’s properly maintained).
  

Paint Conditions and Package Selection:

Emerald Packages are designed for New vehicles with New paint, professionally maintained paints can fall into this category as well (possibly). This service is designated specifically for vehicles that Do Not need paint correcting, it is a one-step high-end polish meant to enhance the paint not correct or fix the paint; on vehicles with good to great conditioned paint, it’s all that’s needed. That being said, I will do this service based on clients request, it’s your money and your budget; reiterating the point that this service will only enhance the paint, not correct the paint. Recommended for vehicles less than a year old.

Ruby Basic Packages are definitely the 'in-between' service. Generally for vehicles a year and older, as with the Signature service it is based on the condition of the paint and desired quality, being a Light Correcting service, this will only attain 80%-90% correction. One correcting stage can achieve a great deal, but not perfection (most cases). This is the most popular, mainly due to budget. As much as this service reaches a high level of quality, if you're looking for near perfection the Signature Service is the one for you. 

Ruby Signature Packages are for vehicles, generally, a year and older, based specifically on the condition of the paint. This does not include extensive wet/dry sanding, spot checking when needed, this is not orange peel removal. This is the most needed service package due to improper maintenance, poor washing techniques, oxidation, scratches, swirls, marring, scuffs, etc. This service includes multiple paint-correcting and polishing steps, with 90%+ correction (most cases).   

FOR THE MONEY INVESTED YOU ARE RECEIVING WAY MORE "BANG FOR THE BUCK" WITH THE RUBY Signature Packages

Excessive Pet Hair Fee: $35.00  How to identify if you have excessive pet hair? If you regularly travel with your pets, you might have excessive pet hair. If the hair is visible In, On and/or Under anything or everything, you have excessive pet hair. 

Pet hair, most of the time, especially depending on "pile-type" of carpet and upholstery, can be one of the most time consuming and difficult processes of the entire detail; that being said I will never guarantee 100% hair removal, but I will definitely do all that I am capable of doing to remove as much as possible, that will be 90%-98%. This fee will be added only after I have identified in person the amount of pet hair. Excessive Pet Hair to one person, may not be to another.
