What luxury and exotic cars need
Premium cars use premium materials, and they are often less forgiving. Soft paint marks easily. Piano-black trim scratches. Alcantara and carbon fibre need specific care. Large wheels with multi-piece designs collect dust in places a normal brush cannot reach.
This page is for owners of luxury sedans, sports cars and supercars in Burlington and Oakville, plus classics and weekend cars that do not see much road. It also suits owners who do not want a stranger driving a valuable car away to a shop.
Many owners start with The Full Detail and add ceramic coating once the car is properly prepped.
We also work around the realities of owning one. Many owners keep a car in a heated garage or storage space and drive it occasionally, which means the main problems are dust, fingerprints on glossy trim rather than daily grime. Others drive theirs daily, which is a different matter. We adapt the plan either way.
How we approach the work
The process is the same package sequence, done with extra care and fewer shortcuts.
- Walk around with you first to note existing marks, chips and areas of concern.
- Vacuum and clean the interior gently, with soft brushes on trim and switchgear.
- Clean and condition leather with products matched to the finish. See leather cleaning.
- Wash by hand with a two-bucket method and soft mitts, starting with wheels.
- Decontaminate paint with iron remover, tar remover and clay, using light pressure on soft paint.
- Apply sealant, or begin the ceramic sequence with a one-step enhancement.
- Finish with a second walk-around with you.
If the car is lowered, we take extra care around splitters and skirts.
The first walk-around matters on a valuable car. We note any chips, scratches or marks before we start, so everyone agrees what is already there. It protects you and us, and it keeps the conversation simple at the end. We do not do paint correction beyond a one-step enhancement, and we say so when we see deep marks.
Time and conditions
Allow 30 to 60 minutes more than the standard time for a package. Exotic cars are not larger in every case, but they are fussier, and we work slowly on purpose.
A garage is best, especially for ceramic. See how long detailing takes for base times. Dry, shaded space also helps with dark paint, which shows water spots fast.
Wheels deserve time. Large, wide wheels with tight spokes hide brake dust, and carbon-ceramic brakes behave differently from steel ones. We use brushes sized to reach into barrels and spoke gaps, and we clean wheel faces thoroughly, which is also where coated wheel faces earn their keep in a ceramic package.
How it is priced
Exotic cars add a flat +$60 to any package. Luxury sedans and SUVs follow the usual size rules.
- Interior Restoration starts from $119
$149. - The Full Detail starts from $176
$220. - Ceramic / Protection starts from $399
$499. - Exotic +$60, SUV +$30, truck +$40, van +$50.
- A second vehicle in the same booking is 20% off.
If you are unsure how your car is classed, ask on the quote form. We confirm the total before you book.
As an example, a luxury sedan is base price. A supercar or a high-end sports car is the exotic add of +$60. A luxury SUV is +$30. We read the class of the vehicle, not the badge, and we confirm before you book.
Looking after a premium car
Careful habits matter more than any product.
- Hand wash only, with clean mitts and plenty of water.
- Dry with soft microfibre and not chamois or old towels.
- Cover the car or keep it in a garage between drives.
- Condition leather a few times a year.

If you store the car for winter, ask us about a protective detail before it goes away. A clean, sealed or coated car with a dry cabin stores better than a dirty one. Our winter protection package follows the same idea.
Why a mobile detail suits a valuable car
The car stays at your property from start to finish. We detail in your garage or driveway in Burlington or Oakville, with our own water, power and lighting, and we are fully insured. You can watch the work and approve the result.
There is no shuttle, no valet and no unfamiliar driver.
Privacy is another practical point. Detailing at home means your car is not parked in a shop lot where others see it, and you decide who is on your property. We keep to the agreed space and finish with you at the walk-around.
We keep the vehicle's keys and your garage access to the agreed work only, and we are happy to follow any instructions you have for how the car is moved or parked.
