Is the Detail Masters process going to damage my clearcoat ?

No. Our overspray removal processes have been found safe by most major automotive manufacturers and have been proven to be clearcoat safe. Overspray usually sits on top of the clearcoat, Detail Masters system is designed to remove the contaminant not your clearcoat.

My Dealer told me not to let anyone clean my vehicle because it will void my warranty. Is that true?

The automotive manufacturers warranty your vehicle, not the dealership. Our processes have been tested by most manufacturers and will not void the warranty. Detail Masters process will not remove or alter the state of the clearcoat; therefore, it will not affect any warranties.

How long will it take to clean my vehicle?

Depending on the size and color of the vehicle and the severity of the overspray, a 3 man crew will average approximately 3-5 hours per vehicle. The supervisor on site will be able to confirm the estimated completion time when you drop off the vehicle.

What about the overspray on my moldings?

Detail Masters can clean most moldings then recondition with a non-abrasive, oil based cleaner. If the moldings are not cleanable, then the supervisor will go over other options with you.

What about the overspray on my windows?

Detail Masters uses a non abrasive synthetic clay on all glass surfaces to remove the overspray. This is the safest and most thorough way to clean the glass.

What about my wax or sealant on the vehicle

After removing the overspray from your vehicle, Detail Masters will polish your vehicle, and then apply a polymer sealant to the vehicle

How do you clean my vehicle?

All Detail Masters cleaning procedures are done by hand. In most cases we use a special synthetic clay to remove the overspray, then we use an oil based cleaner that we specifically manufacture to remove any residues on the vehicle. After the overspray is removed, we polish the vehicle and apply a polymer sealant.

Do you use buffers?

Detail Masters does not use buffers in most Detail Masters removal processes. However, a dual action polisher (often referred to as a DA tool) is used in the finish product application for uniformed application.

Do you have a guarantee?

Detail Masters does guarantee that the process we use will not harm your finish. We cannot guarantee your paint job, because we did not do your paint job, but we do stand behind our work.

How much does this cost?

Our prices are determined upon the quantity and sizes of the vehicles, the severity of the overspray and what type of paint or emission was oversprayed on the vehicles. This is a variable cost and is usually negotiated with the insurance company or contractor handling your claim.

My body shop that I have been going to for years says the vehicle needs to be repainted, what makes you think you can clean it?

Detail Masters specializes in overspray removal. Most body shops techniques will not be successful in overspray removal. Their conventional methods or repainting are also more profitable for the body shop. Detail Masters' processes are both safe and effective in restoring your vehicle to its pre-loss condition.
