How to Prepare Your Car for a Mobile Detail

What Should I Do?

Preparing for a mobile detailing appointment is simple. First, choose a shaded or covered area if possible. This helps us work more efficiently and avoid streaks. Clear out personal items from the cabin and trunk. This allows us to clean every surface thoroughly.


Remove car seats or pet accessories if they’re not needed. Close all windows tightly to prevent water from entering. If you have specific concerns (like stains or scratches), let us know ahead of time. Make sure your car isn’t parked on a steep incline.


We often use vacuums and polishers that require stable surfaces. We also appreciate access to a water source and power outlet when possible. If not, we can bring our own. Secure any pets so they don’t interfere or get scared. Our goal is to make your car look and feel brand new. A little preparation helps us do that even better. It also saves time and ensures a smooth, stress-free service.
