Engine Cleaning FAQ's

It can if your not careful. But we are very carful when working on a customers engine. We use just enough water to rinse out the cleaner and dirt. We cover up sensitive areas before starting the process.

Unfortunately, if the oil or grease is to heavy we won’t be able to clean it, we are unable to reach some of those small crannies where the dirt is stuck. We mainly focus on the top surface of the engine bay.

Depending on size and condition, it would take approximately about 1 hour to finish.

Yes we do dress the plastics to make your engine bay standout and give it a newer look.

Express Wash FAQ's

We both are car washes that’s correct. but we take our process to a higher level to give you a better result. We use safe washing and drying methods to make sure your paint doesn’t get any scratches or swirl marks. We blow out the water from little corners and apply a high quality spray wax that will give your vehicle a nicer shine.

Unfortunately this will not remove roughness in the paint due to it being a regular maintenance focused wash, in order to remove the roughness you can try out our wash and wax where we use the clay bar.

Mini Interior Clean FAQ's

Unfortunately when it comes to removing an odor, it’s a much different process than just cleaning a stain off a seat. This could possibly require a more extensive cleaning process.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

One morning he decided to clean his engine bay on his E90 and one of his neighbors decided to take a Walk outside to catch some fresh air and came up to the car and got very surprised on how clean the engine bay came out.

I am extremely pleased with the 2 step paint correction, wax and wheel polishing cervantes details performed on my 2005 Dodge Magnum RT. The car looks phenomenal. Luis is a very talented man and very passionate about his work. Customer service was excellent. He communicates well, is punctual and has a positive attitude. I look forward to hiring cervantes detailing again soon and would recommend them to anyone interested.

Luis and his crew showed up on time, came prepared, and did a thorough professional job of cleaning and shampooing the interior of my dirty car. When finished, it looked like new! Will definitely use his service again and would recommend without hesitation.

This was such a good experience. My dog threw up on my cloth car seat. With this service I didn’t even have to drive anywhere. Cervantes came over and took care of it. The seat looked like new and Cervantes was so professional and fast. Also, great pricing!! Highly recommend.

Luis was very easy to communicate with, punctual, and provided excellent service. My car had all sorts of spots and stains: dirt, sand, sunscreen, salt water, cat pee, dog fur, food, and more and Luis got it all out. The pricing is also great and I really appreciate the clear prices quotes and service descriptions on the website. A hassle-free experience. Highly recommend.

Luis made my car look brand new and was great at communicating with me about his ETA, the time he would be done with my car, and the steps/service he would be doing. I definitely recommend him to everyone I know and will be getting the rest of my cars detailed by him.
