Maintenance (Hand Wash)

Maintenance (Hand Wash)

This service is designed for ongoing maintenance on vehicles that are already in good condition or have previously been detailed or ceramic coated by us. It includes a careful, coating-safe hand wash, wheels and tires cleaned, and a thorough dry. A light interior touch-up is also included—consisting of a quick vacuum, wipe-down of high-touch surfaces, and interior glass cleaning. This is not a full interior detail and does not include stain removal, deep cleaning, or interior restoration. Exterior decontamination, paint correction, and full interior services are intentionally excluded. For vehicles that feel rough to the touch or require deeper cleaning, a Reset service is recommended.

The purpose of Maintenance is to preserve professional results, not replace corrective services.

Interior Refresh

Interior Refresh

This service is designed to thoroughly clean, sanitize, and refresh the vehicle’s interior without exterior services. It includes full interior vacuuming, shampooing of carpets and floor mats, cleaning of seats and interior surfaces, interior glass, and targeted attention to high-touch and commonly soiled areas. All interior surfaces are cleaned using safe, high-temperature steam to effectively break down grime and reduce bacteria, followed by a disinfecting treatment to help neutralize odors and maintain a clean interior environment. Headliners are intentionally not cleaned due to their delicate construction and the risk of adhesive failure or sagging. This policy exists to protect the interior and prevent unintended damage.

This service does not include any exterior cleaning or paint services. For vehicles needing both interior and exterior attention, a Reset service is recommended or add on a hand wash. 

Select service

Exterior Refresh

Exterior Refresh

This service is designed for vehicles that need a proper exterior reset without interior services. It includes a thorough exterior hand wash, full paint decontamination to remove bonded contaminants, wheel faces cleaned (barrels not included), exterior trim wiped down, and a paint sealant applied to enhance gloss and provide short-term protection. This service focuses exclusively on the exterior and does not include interior cleaning or paint correction.

For vehicles needing both interior and exterior restoration, or for improved paint clarity through polishing, a Reset or Restore service is recommended.

Reset (Basic Interior and Exterior Detail)

Reset (Basic Interior and Exterior Detail)

Reset brings your vehicle back to a clean, properly maintained baseline inside and out. It is designed for vehicles that need a comprehensive interior and exterior service without paint correction. The interior includes full vacuuming, carpet and floor mat shampooing, seats and interior surfaces cleaned using safe, high-temperature steam, interior glass, and a disinfecting treatment to refresh the cabin. The exterior includes a careful hand wash, full paint decontamination to remove bonded contaminants, wheel faces cleaned, exterior trim wiped down, and a paint sealant applied to restore smoothness, gloss, and short-term protection. Headliners are intentionally not cleaned due to their delicate construction and the risk of adhesive failure or sagging.

Reset does not include paint correction or polishing. For improved paint clarity or swirl reduction, a Restore service or paint correction add-on may be recommended after the Reset is completed.

Restore (Interior and Exterior with Machine Polishing)

Restore (Interior and Exterior with Machine Polishing)

Restore is our most comprehensive detailing service and is designed for vehicles that need measurable improvement in paint clarity and overall appearance, along with a complete interior and exterior Reset. This service begins with a full Reset, including Restore is our most comprehensive detailing service and is designed for vehicles that need measurable improvement in paint clarity and overall appearance, along with a complete interior and exterior Reset. This service begins with a full Reset, including thorough interior cleaning with carpet and floor mat shampooing, interior surfaces safely cleaned using high-temperature steam, interior glass cleaning, and a disinfecting treatment to refresh the cabin.

On the exterior, the vehicle is fully decontaminated to remove bonded contaminants, followed by machine paint correction to reduce visible swirl marks, light scratches, and paint defects—resulting in noticeably improved gloss and clarity. Once the paint has been properly refined, a professional paint sealant is applied to protect the corrected finish, enhance gloss, and make routine washing easier. The sealant provides durable short-term protection and is well-suited for owners who refresh their vehicle on a regular basis.

Headliners are intentionally not cleaned due to their delicate construction and the risk of adhesive failure or sagging.

Restore is a paint-improvement service, not a full paint restoration. The level of correction is tailored to the condition of each vehicle and is intended to deliver meaningful, visible improvement while preserving long-term paint health.

For owners seeking longer-term protection, a ceramic coating may be added to this service with 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year options available.

Protect- Ceramic Coatings

Protect- Ceramic Coatings

Our ceramic coating services are all-inclusive and handled start to finish in-house. Ceramic coatings are applied to all painted exterior surfaces, exterior glass, and wheel faces as part of a complete exterior protection system. Painted surfaces receive the selected coating duration, while all exterior glass and wheel faces receive a 2-year ceramic coating. Each surface is protected appropriately based on exposure and material type. All ceramic coating services are fully warrantied and reported to CARFAX for documentation and resale transparency. To support proper care and long-term performance, clients receive complimentary ceramic detail spray for the life of their coating, available during scheduled visits or maintenance services.

If a client is not satisfied, the vehicle may be returned to our shop within 30 days for complete coating removal performed by our team. Once the coating has been fully removed, a full refund of the coating service will be issued. This policy ensures coatings are evaluated and handled correctly while providing peace of mind.

Ceramic coatings enhance gloss, improve ease of maintenance, and protect against environmental contaminants and UV exposure. While highly durable, ceramic coatings are not scratch-proof and do not replace proper wash techniques.

Protect- Paint Protection Film

Protect- Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the highest level of physical protection available for your vehicle’s painted surfaces. We install XPEL Ultimate (gloss) and XPEL Stealth (satin/matte) film to protect against rock chips, road debris, abrasion, and everyday wear that ceramic coatings alone cannot prevent.

All PPF installations are performed in-house and are fully custom-fit for each vehicle using manufacturer-specific patterns. We do not offer partial coverage or pieced installations. PPF is available exclusively as Full Front or Full Vehicle coverage to ensure uniform protection, clean edges, and long-term visual consistency.

Accurate pricing does not require an in-person inspection. Quotes are based on the year, make, and model of the vehicle, allowing us to provide clear, upfront pricing before scheduling.

XPEL Ultimate maintains a factory-gloss appearance with self-healing technology, while XPEL Stealth transforms gloss paint into a refined matte finish without altering the original color. Both films preserve paint condition while maintaining an OEM-level appearance.

PPF is a physical protection solution and is often paired with ceramic coating to enhance ease of maintenance and long-term appearance.

Setting Your Expectations!

We want to give you as much value as possible therefor we do not rinse truck beds or fully clean wheel wells as the will just get dirty on your drive home. Is this ok?

If you interior will be detailed would you like a scent added?

Would It be possible for you to remove all valuable or sentimental items from your car prior to the detail? We would hate for anything you deeply care about to be lost during the detail.

Would it be possible to have you remove all carseats prior to any interior detail work to be performed?

Drop-off time does not always mean work begins immediately. Hand washes are typically started as soon as possible, while full details are scheduled throughout the day. If you need your vehicle back by a specific time, please let us know. Most details are

Joe at Unicorn is the best detailer in the area. His detailing skills are top notch and he’s a super nice guy. He will give you honest estimates and not try to upsell you. Recently he did a paint correction and ceramic coated my Audi and it turned out great.

Joe did an awesome job on my 2023 Harley Davidson Road Glide! The buffing and ceramic coating Joe did really brought out the beautiful Prospect Gold color on my bike. The finish was super smooth and glossy. I highly recommend getting work done by Joe.

Took my Jeep here to be detailed before giving it to my daughter for her 16th bday this week. Impressed is an understatement for how I received it back. It looks like a new car again! I should have taken before pics. I paid more for less than stellar service at another area detail shop in the past. Excellent work, excellent customer service - thank you for prepping her first car so perfectly. We will be back!
Teresa Smith May 19th 2025 - 5 months ago

Made my 2001 Honda accord look like it was brand new. Extremely honest about what my car really needed done even though it meant less money for them. You don't find that very often anymore in business. Highly recommend them they are honest and professional. If you need your vehicle detailed this is the place.
