Repair guides

Detailing and body repair solve different problems

Define whether a concern is contamination, wear, finish damage, or something that needs further assessment.

Start with the right information

A dirty surface, a stubborn stain, a scratched coating, and a damaged panel can look like one general appearance problem. The suitable service depends on the condition. Ask the provider to distinguish expected cleaning improvement from damage that requires a different scope.

Make the conversation specific

Share information about protective film, coatings, unusual trim, and previous treatment. Confirm which surfaces are included and what products or processes are proposed. Avoid assuming a package name explains every step or guarantees removal of all visible marks.

Keep a useful record

Review the included areas after the service and ask about conditions that remain. Keep any relevant care instructions and treatment details for future appointments. A precise description of completed work is more useful than calling a cleaning service a complete restoration.

One question to take with you

Ask the provider: Which conditions can the proposed cleaning reasonably improve, and which appear to require a different repair or diagnostic appointment?
