Car Detailing FAQ

Mobile car detailing means the detailer comes to your location instead of you dropping the car off. PrimeX Auto Detailing arrives at your home or workplace with our own water, power, products and equipment, so all you need to provide is a parking space beside the vehicle.

Detailing services start at $40 and scale with vehicle size and condition. Ceramic coating packages start at $399 and our Showroom Protection package starts at $649. Final pricing is confirmed at consultation so there are no surprises.

We offer full interior detailing, exterior wash and wax, paint correction, ceramic coating, engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, leather cleaning and conditioning, odor removal, and fleet detailing for businesses.

No. Our mobile setup carries its own water supply and power, so we can detail your car at a home, an apartment complex or an office lot without plugging into anything.

A maintenance wash and interior refresh usually runs one to two hours. A full interior and exterior detail typically takes three to five hours, and paint correction or ceramic coating work can take a full day depending on vehicle size and paint condition.

A car wash cleans the surface. Auto detailing decontaminates the paint, corrects defects such as swirls and oxidation, deep cleans the interior, and then applies protection so the finish stays cleaner between washes.

Most daily drivers benefit from a full detail twice a year with maintenance washes in between. Vehicles kept outdoors year round or driven through Chicago winters often do better on a quarterly schedule.

A standard interior detail takes about two to three hours. Heavily soiled interiors, pet hair removal and odor treatments can push that to four hours or more.

Yes. Pet hair is worked out with rubber tools and specialty brushes before extraction. Heavy pet hair is treated as an add on because of the extra time it takes.

A carnauba wax typically holds up for six to eight weeks. A synthetic sealant usually runs four to six months. If you want protection measured in years, a ceramic coating is the right choice.

Yes. Automatic washes reuse brushes and cloth strips that have already been dragged across other vehicles, which is how most swirl marks and light scratches get put into clear coat.

The correction itself is permanent, because the defects are removed rather than hidden. How long the finish stays that way depends on how the car is washed afterwards, which is why a coating and a safe wash routine matter.

Not always. If you can catch a fingernail in a scratch it has usually gone through the clear coat, and correction can only reduce how visible it is rather than remove it.

It depends on the coating chosen. Our longest option is rated for five or more years, with mid tier options covering three to four years and entry options up to three years, all with proper maintenance.

Our Essential Protection package starts at $399 and Showroom Protection starts at $649. Wheel coating and glass coating are $75 each as add ons. Final pricing depends on vehicle size and paint condition.
