FAQ’s

    • How often should I get my car detailed? If you are driving every day, it is a good idea to wash your vehicle every two weeks to one month. You should plan on waxing it every 3 months for vehicles parked outside and every 5-6 months for garage kept vehicles. A full detail should be done at least twice a year, which includes shampooing the carpets, conditioning the leather or fabric and cleaning out the crevices. Remember, we’re in Florida where the intensity of the sun is especially harsh on paint and interiors. For most people, a car is a very significant purchase and regular detailing helps maintain your vehicle’s value.

    • What about those $5 car wash places or the $10 road side stands? When it comes to detailing a vehicle, you will get what you pay for. Many of the road side stands are fly-by-night operations. If something were to happen to your car while in their care, it’s going to cost you money. Auto Pros Mobile Detailing is a fully licensed and insured company, so your automobile is safe in our hands.We have professional equipment and we are Pros at detailing all types of vehicles. Often times, those $5 car wash places end up costing $50-$75 after they add everything on, and even then your car may not come out as clean as you wanted it. Many of them use recycled water, leaving harmful deposits on your car which, over time, can damage your paint.  Plus with road side stands and car wash places YOU have to go to THEM. With Auto Pro’s Mobile Detailing, WE come to YOU. This saves you time and, as we all know, time is money. What is YOUR time worth?? 

    • How far in advance do I need to make an appointment? Occasionally same day appointments are available, but normally we need one or more days in order to schedule your detail. Often, we are fully booked one week in advance, so please call 813-778-3544 to check our availability.

    • Do I really need to worry about love bugs ruining my car? Absolutely! It is very important to wash off dead love bugs from your vehicle as soon as possible. The damage they do to your paint job is irreversable and unsightly. You’ll also want to spray off your front grill, as the adult bodies can clog the radiator. That is one reason washing and waxing your vehicle regularly is such a good idea. Love Bug season in Florida lasts from April through September, with high concentrations in April and May, then again in August and September.

    • Is it OK to use dish soap when washing my car? No! Dish soap contains chemicals that remove wax from your vehicle. We use professional grade soap specifically designed to remove oils, dirt and grime. Our soap contains wax to help maintain a beautiful shine that lasts longer between detailings.  

    • How do I get odors out of my vehicle? Will those deodorizing sprays work? Sprays will work temporarily, but for odors that are "stuck" in your vehicle you will need something more. That is why we use a two pronged approach. First we thoroughly clean the interior, condition the upholstery and shampoo the carpets. Then we use an ozone generator system that filters out odor causing particles.

    • How can I get my headlights clear again? Shouldn’t I just replace the lens? It can cost hundreds of dollars to replace just one headlight lens. We use a patented 3M system to restore your headlights. Depending on the severity of your problem, after reconditioning your headlights, you will notice increased brightness at night. Not only does restoring your headlights help with safety and is less expensive than replacing them, it also improves the look of your vehicle.  Check out some of our before and after headlight reconditioning pictures.
