Five quick tips to get the most value from your appointment:

  1. Park where we have easy access all around the vehicle.
  2. Remove valuables and personal items from seats and cupholders.
  3. Fold in mirrors; close windows and sunroof.
  4. Let us know about sensitive areas (fresh paint, wraps, stickers).
  5. Have keys handy so we can access all doors.

We’ll take it from there with spot‑free water, foam cannon shampoo, and a careful hand wash.

FAQs about Prep Day

Quick Answers

Do I need to provide water or power?

No — we bring our own HOA‑friendly electric setup and spot‑free water.

Should I move cars in the driveway?

Yes — leave a little space around the vehicle so we can access every panel and open all doors safely.

What about rain or extreme heat?

We monitor weather and can reschedule if needed. In summer we may request shade to protect the finish during drying.
