Here at MOBILE AUTO DETAIL we attempt to anticipate questions you might have about our PRODUCTS / SERVICES and provide vital information you may need. As this is by no means all-inclusive feel free to email  INFO@HandWax.net should you have additional questions.
1.

I always use the corner carwash ..it's convenient,relatively fast, and they can change my oil. Why chose mobile auto detail?

  Chose mobile auto detail when you want THE BEST! The best products coupled with the best techniques-naturally yield the BEST RESULTS!  The LAMBORGHINI above is meticulously cared for with a regimen that includes a 4 hour LUXURY HANDWASH!! The ultimate in convenience we work around YOUR schedule -- no time wasted idling in line expending precious gas - we arrive at your location ! To do a job right takes time -- and the results will be better when we are not rushed. We don't book ten appointments...generally we finish 1-3 details per day. Our fresh approach to servicing our clients is relieving to the most finicky. Our finished results will be the best that we can obtain. We don't have a 30 minute wax guarantee...that would be opposite of what we strive to attain. Our 1 or 2 man team will tackle any challenge your vehicle may pose in an efficient manner. Most of our clients own high-end vehicles that require certain techniques to accomplish showroom perfection. Every corner car wash plays the numbers game doing many things but do they truly MASTER anything??? We   only   clean. Whether it's your daily driver, car show beauty, power washing your driveway, back porch, or home exterior, or handwaxing your motorcycle. Cleaning, polishing, restoring is ALL we know!


2.

What's the difference between a polish and a wax?

 There are many differences between a polish and a wax. The main difference is that the micro abrasives in a polish bring depth and shine and many times removes surface AND minor imperfections in your vehicles' paint; and Wax does not contain abrasives. The chemical layer of wax that depletes -- between your auto's paint and the elements much like you apply sunscreen to your skin. Many polishes today have wax as well as many waxes today contain some polishing agents in them. When time is not abundant or cost is a factor, an "all in one"  wax and polish product will suffice. But to a true purist only our top-level polishes coupled with a hand application of wax will do. In this picture, you will see the reflection of the branches of the trees. This paint was color sanded and polished during the 35 hour detail!!


3.

My BENTLEY has a clearcoat on it from the factory... how would you care for it?      

Every car built within recent years has clearcoat protection from the factory. Your BENTLEY is hand built and the Clearcoat seals in the painted layer making it more durable and gives a brilliant shine! However many cars that have been subjected to multiple corner carwashes have their clearcoat etched by the brushes or dirty towels they re-use. Why subject your high end auto to those conditions???  Do not allow others with their limited skills to inflict harm on your  vehicle ! We recommend a handwash once a week and wax application every 3-4 months with a yearly full detail (i.e.:engine detail,leather clean/condition,chrome wheel polish,paint surface restoration,polish ,and handwax, and carpet shampoo). This prescription fits many vehicle types over a broad range. Your individual use (pets,children) and whether your auto is garaged by day/night...will accelerate the rate at which you wash,wax, and detail to ensure showroom standards. Reference our BENTLEY page for photos.


4.

My paint looks shiny but it doesn't FEEL shiny or smooth...what can you do to bring it back?

We acknowledge the fact that JESUS CHRIST is the only  MIRACLE WORKER !However ... we are known for the techniques and high end products we use to bring back your paints' gloss, depth of shine and unmistakable clarity. In doing so ,many times this removes oxidation, chemical contaminants that have bonded to your paint, and many surface imperfections. However, sometimes it is necessary to use a stronger mix of chemicals to restore your paint to showroom lustre, reflectivity, and feel. Suffice it to say ... there are many ways to tackle any challenge your vehicle may present us with.  More than a mere wash and wax operation we DELIVER results you can see, and feel. In business in greater Houston since 1990 speaks volumes! Not only does this ASTON MARTIN look shiny, we keep it in top-level shape by using the finest products and time tested techniques. Take ad-VANTAGE of our skills and superior products to put your VANTAGE into overdrive!!


5.

My Limited Edition BMW headlights don't look clear anymore...what can be done to restore them without paying dealership prices to replace them???

We have perfected Headlight lense restoration . Our technique guarantees restoration without excessive replacement fees. Our process restores clarity and makes the road ahead BRIGHTER!


6.

At mobile auto detail ,we can bring life to any metal surface. We make the time -- and put in 100% effort to yield professional results. Take into consideration that our passion drives us to exceed your expectations - many times it is not cost effective to put the extra time into a particular job ,however our reputation pressures us to produce expert results.

This picture below illustrates the darkened areas of the driver's seat. There is a small area to the left of the seam where I have worked to showcase my techniques and superior products. Refer to CARPET SHAMPOO PAGE and look at the MERCEDES INTERIOR look at the grain of the steering wheel - - every crack and crevice is made beautiful again. Also check out the SUBARU INTERIOR page

Between the NOT - SO - Happy - Meals and shuttling ROVER to the dog park my carpet is beyond repair...can you do something for it?

 At MOBILE AUTO DETAIL , we understand that when kids/pets mix with your vehicle's interior bad things frequently happen. We reverse that process. Parents and dog owners are some of our best clients ! Carpet shampoo, leather treatment, and a regimen for your vinyl  are just some of the surfaces we recondition. Click on the photo below to see how we transformed this MASERATI that is daily driven.Our proven techniques restore your vehicle's interior to showroom standards. Refer to CARPET SHAMPOO PAGE  under SUBARU INTERIOR and also SUBURBAN detail in the CHEVROLET page.

Our company would like you to set up at our location and wash our employee's cars and our company vehicles can you do this?

Mobile Auto Detail has handled numerous accounts that others would
not want, nor could they handle. Call or email us for additional information. We conduct a specific assessment  of your particular location and provide your employees with a menu of services and associated costs. Currently we service 4 high rises, 3 apartment communities, and 2 limousine services. Reference the FLEETS/SPECIAL EVENTS page to view the companies/auto makers we work with.

  FLEET MANAGERS choose Mobile Auto Detail when you want to project your best face forward to potential clients as your rolling billboard is driving all over town. Our top-level service will gain you great financial rewards at trade-in. A 2007 Honda Accord VP Sedan with 20,000 miles in excellent condition ( Kelley Blue Book describes EXCELLENT as ' paint in good condition and needs no reconditioning, and engine compartment clean and free of any visible signs of wear and defects' ) fetches $11,200. The same Accord above with the same miles at the same dealer in fair ( described by Kelley blue book is described as ' paint and interior need work performed by a professional' )condition only gets you $9,425. That's a difference of $1,725!!! Now let's run these numbers into a real world situation. We come out and detail your vehicles regularly throughout the year, and at trade- in when you need a detail it is less expensive than one who NEVER gets a detail . So...even at 200. - 300. for your detail you still benefit from a $1,525 to $1,425 surplus subtracted from the new vehicle that you are buying-- further reduces your payout. It's a win- win siyuation. Not only do you benefit from driving a freshly detailed vehicle that your clients see. They reason that if you care enough to wash your vehicle ...that you MUST take care when servicing them. You also benefit at trade-in time!


10.

Do you pressure wash homes,buildings, parking lots, or driveways?

Since the 1980's we have been cleaning and perfecting our techniques. In business since 1990 MOBILE AUTO DETAIL has mastered the art of auto detail including its many facets. Since 2003 we have introduced pressure washing as an added service. Following the tenet that the best equipment, although pricey at first, will ensure professional results and will not break down halfway through the job. Many times we are cheaper than other pressure washing companies driving down pressure washing prices !!! We are able to clean your location whether it's a gas station, parking lot, driveway to your home, or even washing your home. We pressure wash homes from new construction, homes for sale, homes that need a spring or summer time "LIFT" to exude the best curb appeal your home will possibly allow. MOBILE AUTO DETAIL - "POWER WASHING" enables you to outshine your neighbors, and competitors!!! Keep your parking lot or driveway looking fresh. Refer to our PRESSURE WASHING PAGE TO SEE SOME OF THE LAST FEW YEARS OF BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS .Call 281-216-5833 or email info@HandWax.net for your  "POWER WASHING" appointment.

Others charge less than you and they can be out here within a moments' notice --- why can't you?

 At MOBILE AUTO DETAIL we don't really concern ourselves with what others do. We charge a fair price for the on site services we offer. We understand that we aren't for everybody. Although everyone at one time or another needs us...whether it's time to turn in a leased vehicle, or selling a car, even pet/children mishaps,construction/paint-body shop overspray removal. We restore most bumper scrapes, polish chrome wheels, apply 2 step leather clean and condition, etc., etc. We set the market on HIGH END auto detailing. At various times, we have been contacted from other companies who also detail ; and it's a little comical and a little sad. THEIR PHONE/EMAIL INQUIRY is only to know what we charge so they can charge the same. It is funny in that they have us estimate a "job" for them and in turn they use that knowledge to charge what we charge at their place--- just because they have a bucket with some bubbles in it! It's also sad because some actually pay their price and yet don't know any better. They can't -- or at least shouldn't charge what we charge because they don't do what we do!!! When we schedule a detail many times that is  THE ONLY detail we do for that day! Some days there may be 2, or even 3 details !(very rare!) 

Our focus is not on volume -   many factors are considered before we decide to take on additional work for that day (i.e. proximity of next job, repeat customer, level of detailing needed , etc.)  Be a little wary of a detailing company that can travel anywhere at a moments' notice...maybe they are not busy for a REASON!  We are Houston's premiere detailer not becuase we do the MOST...BUT BECAUSE WE DO THE BEST!!! We are the BEST ...not when compared to others; but because NOONE compares to us!!   OUR FINISHED RESULTS ARE OUR TRADEMARK !!! I am the ONLY ONE WHO USES  any BUFFERS OR PAINT ENHANCING PRODUCTS ON YOUR FINE AUTO and I HAVE MORE THAN 24+ YEARS EXPERIENCE IN THE INDUSTRY---NOT 10 days,10 weeks,or 10 months. THIS IS WHERE WE ARE SUPERIOR AND EXCEL  AGAINST OTHERS. I HAVE BEEN BUFFING ON CARS,TRUCKS,VANS,RV'S,MOTORCYCLES,BOATS,JET-SKIS,TRAILERS, ETC. SINCE 1985. Hate to burst your  "" BUBBLE  ""  however , at  MOBILE AUTO DETAIL you are more than a number or a receipt you turn in to claim your vehicle . Our niche---is to cater to your vehicle's needs based on your usage of the vehicle.  Does the vehicle get driven every day, or only on weekends? Does it participate in car shows?  Does your auto need to look its best to be sold to another owner? MOBILE AUTO DETAIL...when their  "BEST"  isn't good enough!
