What is Car Detailing?
Car detailing is the process of thoroughly cleaning, restoring, and protecting both the interior and exterior of a vehicle. Unlike a standard car wash, detailing goes much deeper — focusing on every surface, from paintwork and wheels to carpets and upholstery.
Traditional car detailing services and car washes aim to clean as many cars as possible in as little time as possible. While these services generally perform simple tasks, they often cause paint damage, scratches, and other imperfections due to improper washing techniques.
Unlike these companies, we prioritize quality over quantity. At Standout Auto Detailing, we care about your vehilce as if it was our own and strive for perfection. We achieve the very best results by using the best materials, products, and techniques

How Often should I get my car detailed?
How often you detail your car depends on how you use it and the level of care you want. As a general rule, most vehicles benefit from a full detail a minimum of every 4–6 months to keep the paint protected and the interior fresh. If your car is exposed to harsh weather, dirt roads, or heavy daily use, more frequent detailing may be recommended. Regular detailing not only keeps your car looking its best but also helps preserve its long-term value.

What is a Ceramic Coating and how long does it last?
A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your car’s paintwork that cures into a durable, protective layer. It bonds with the surface at a molecular level, creating a shield that repels water, dirt, and grime while protecting against UV rays, chemicals, and environmental damage.
Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that wear off quickly, a ceramic coating provides long-term protection and a deep, glossy finish that keeps your car looking like new. With proper care and maintenance, our Gtechniq ceramic coatings last up to 5 years — far longer than regular wax.

What are Swirl / Swirl Marks?
Swirls or swirl marks are simply superfine scratches in the paint. They're usually caused by wiping the car with a dry towel (usually when it's dusty) or by improper washing techniques. Swirls are often most noticeable on black or dark cars because the edges of the scratches reflect light.
