Frequently
Asked Questions

Three bookable packages: Exterior Detail, Interior Detail, and Full Detail. Prices are by vehicle size and assume a well-kept car.

Exterior Detail: foam pre-rinse, two-bucket hand wash, wheels and tires, bug removal, spray wax, tire dressing, glass, door jambs.

Interior Detail: full vacuum, hand wipe-down of every surface, dashboard and panels, interior glass, vents, door jambs.

Full Detail is both. Pet hair, stains, odors, carpet and upholstery shampoo, steam, clay bar, trim, and the one-step paint polish are add-ons with their own prices in the booking flow. Deeper paint correction is quoted after I see photos.

Yes, pet hair removal is one of my most-requested services in Morris County. Dog and cat hair gets embedded deep in carpet fibers and seat fabric, past where a regular vacuum can reach. I use extraction equipment with specialized pet hair attachments to pull it out of seats, floor mats, the trunk, and the headliner. Afterward, I follow up with a full vacuum and wipe-down so every surface is clean.

Yes. My One-Step Paint Polish is a machine polish that levels the microscopic swirl marks, water spot etching, and oxidation that make paint look dull, bringing back a deep, wet-look gloss. Clay bar prep is included. Add it to any Exterior or Full Detail in the online booking flow, and I bring my own water and power so the whole job happens in your driveway. Deeper multi-stage paint correction is quoted per vehicle. Read more on my paint polishing page.

Interior extraction (also called hot water extraction or steam extraction) is a deep-cleaning technique where I inject hot water mixed with a cleaning solution into your car's carpet and upholstery, then immediately extract it along with loosened dirt, stains, and odor-causing bacteria. It works a lot better than just scrubbing the surface. It is the carpet shampoo and upholstery shampoo add-on on top of the Interior Detail. It's especially good for heavily soiled carpets, persistent pet odors, and set-in stains that surface cleaning can't touch.

Yes. Stain removal is an add-on on top of the Interior Detail. I pre-treat stains with professional cleaning solutions designed for automotive fabric, leather, and carpet. For deep stains and ground-in dirt, I use hot water extraction to fully lift the stain from the fibers. I handle coffee spills, juice stains, food residue, mud, ink marks, and most mystery stains. The older or deeper the stain, the more work it takes, but I always do what I can to get it all the way out.

Yes. Odor elimination is an add-on on top of the Interior Detail. Common sources include pet odors, cigarette smoke, mildew, food, and bacteria embedded in the upholstery. I go after the source directly. Deep extraction removes the bacteria and residue causing the smell instead of just covering it up with fragrance. For odors that stick around, I follow up with a strong odor neutralizer after extraction and cleaning. Most odors are gone completely or cut down a lot after a thorough interior detail.

No, you don't go anywhere. Mobile car detailing means I come to your location with everything I need. Home, driveway, apartment lot, or work parking lot anywhere in Morris County. I come to you. You pick the time, tell me where the car is, and I take care of the rest.

If you prefer a drop-off, I have a location at 191 Malapardis Road in Cedar Knolls, NJ. Just let me know when booking and I'll confirm a time for you to bring it in.

Nothing at all. I'm fully self-contained: my rig carries its own water tank and a generator that power the pressure washer, extractor, and everything else I run. Any driveway, apartment lot, or parking spot with room to work will do. Prefer drop-off? You can always bring the car to me in Cedar Knolls instead.

Interior details usually run 2 to 3 hours, exterior details about 2 hours, and a full detail 4 to 5 hours depending on your vehicle's size and condition. Heavy pet hair, deep stains, or strong odors can add time. I'll give you a firm time estimate when I quote the job.

No, you don't need to be present for the entire service. As long as I have access to your vehicle, you can go about your day; I bring my own water and power. I'll text you when I'm finishing up so you can do a walkthrough and inspect the work before I leave.

Exterior, Interior, and Full each have a from-price on the booking page, set by vehicle size. Those numbers assume a well-kept car. Pet hair, stains, odors, shampoo, and polish are add-ons with their own prices in the flow. Not sure what your car needs? Text a couple of pics to 862-204-7568 and I'll give you a number.

Yes. If a vehicle needs a lot more work, heavy pet hair, bad staining, or it just hasn't been cleaned in a long time, that gets reflected in the quote. I always tell you the full cost upfront, before I start anything. You'll never get surprised by extra charges at the end.

Three packages, priced by vehicle size: Exterior, Interior, Full. Every real problem, pet hair, stains, odor, mold, paint, is a separate add-on, so a clean car books cheap and a rough one pays for the extra time. Nothing is charged until the job is done.

The easiest way is to call or text me at 862-204-7568. You can also book directly on my booking page, send a DM on Instagram at @gngautodetail, or take my 60-second quiz if you're not sure which service fits. Include your vehicle type, the services you're interested in, and photos of the current condition if possible. The more info I have, the more accurate the quote.

I accept cash, Apple Pay, and Venmo. Payment is due at the end of the service, after you've had a chance to look over the work.

Yes, I work weekends. Many of my customers prefer Saturday or Sunday appointments since they're home. Weekend slots fill up fast, so I recommend reaching out a few days in advance if you have a preferred time.
