Why
choose us?
With all
of your choices for automotive detailing,
you need something that will set one
apart. Here at Magic Touch Auto
Detailing, our work will speak for
itself. But before you decide to come to
us, we'd like to tell you why we're the
right choice for you.
Magic
Touch Auto Detailing is founded on
extensive detailing knowledge coupled
with professional experience in both the
retail and wholesale sectors. We pride
ourselves on top quality work, a high
level of professionalism and close
relationships with our customers that
feature professional integrity.
We are
different from many other larger
detailing businesses in that we believe
in personalized service where you are
treated with the respect you deserve, and
your car gets the attention and care it
needs. Nothing is overlooked. Nothing is
left uncleaned or unprotected. We demand
the most perfect results that are
possible when detailing your car. If at
any time you are not happy with our
service, we will keep working until you
are. After all, your satisfaction is our
number one goal.
Value:
While we offer services comparable to
competitors and quality that is second to
none, our value is absolutely unmatched.
Because our overhead is less than most of
our competitors, we are able to combine
our amazing attention to detail with
affordable prices that are considerably
lower than anyone else around.
Pride:
You take pride in your vehicle, and so do
we! Most people have their cars detailed
to keep them looking mint inside and out.
At Magic Touch, we treat your car as if
it were our own and provide a service
that you will be proud to have and we
will be proud to put our name on.
Convenience:
Having your car detailed is easier than
you think. For local customers, we offer
free pick-up and delivery from your home
or office. While we do require your car
for several hours to ensure top quality
service, we will do everything in our
power to accomodate your needs. Auto
detailing is perfect for anyone, but
especially those who have demanding
schedules that do not allow for regular
car cleaning. It is truly the easiest way
to keep your car looking great while
maintaining the highest level of
protection.
Protection:
Your car's paint finish is very delicate
and requires protection at all times. We
use top quality Carnauba waxes and
polymer sealants that are specially
formulated to maximize shine and add
months of protection. Keeping a layer of
true wax or polymer sealant is essential
to protect and maintain one of your
biggest investments.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Q: Why
should I have my car detailed instead of
bringing it to the car wash?
A:
Automatic car washes are unsafe for your
car's paint. They use harsh chemicals
that strip the wax and protection from
your car, and the brushes will cause
scratches in your car's paint called
"car wash marks" or swirls.
Q:
Why should I bother having my car detailed if I am selling it?
A:
You don't get a second chance to make a first impression! Showing a clean, well detailed vehicle to a potential buyer will speak volumes about you, and show that the car was taken care of and not cosmetically neglected.
You can also add hundreds of dollars to the value of your car by having it properly detailed before you sell it. According to Kelly Blue Book, the front runner in used car values, the following cars have substantial differences in value between cosmetically flawed and cosmetically sound. This data was collected in April of 2005, and all vehicles have been compared with the same relative features and mileages (40,000 mi).

Q:
Are touchless car washes okay for my car?
A: No,
the chemicals in touchless car washes are
even harsher and will put your paint at
risk.
Q:
How often should I have my car detailed?
A: We
recommend that you have your car detailed
every 3 months to maximize protection.
Q:
How often should I wash my car?
A:
Washing your car monthly is the minimum
recommended frequency. We recommend
washing weekly or bi-weekly. We are more
than happy to offer hand washing and
monthly maintenance programs to make it easier for you to keep up with your car.
Q:
Why do I need wax or a polymer sealant on my car?
A:
Wax and sealants are the only way to protect your vehicle's finish. Rain, acid rain, snow, sunlight, bugs, tar, road grime, pollen, and bird droppings can all eat through your paint. Keeping your car well protected will reduce the chances of these elements harming your car, while providing a glossy finish and shine. Having your car waxed or sealed is no less important than changing your oil.
Q:
My car's paint has a clearcoat - do I still need wax?
A:
Yes!
Q:
My car is new. Do I still need it detailed?
A:
Absolutely! New cars have usually been sitting on the lot or have been in transit for months before you drive away with them. New car
dealerships rarely carry out full details on new vehicles, so there is a plethora of contaminants in your car's paint. Having your new car detailed will start you off on the right foot and ensure there is a proper layer of wax or sealant on the paint.
Q:
Some or all of my car was just painted. Can it be waxed?
A:
If your car has recently been painted, ask the body shop if it was baked or not. If the paint was baked, the paint can be waxed in just a couple of days. Otherwise, experts say you should wait anywhere between 3 and 6 months before waxing.
Q:
How often should I condition my leather?
A:
It is never too early to start conditioning your leather. Leather conditioning is essential to keep in and replenish vital oils in the leather that prevent stiffness and cracking. We recommend conditioning in between details. It is also important to treat all vinyl inside the car to prevent sun damage and to keep interior components looking new.
Q:
How long does wax last?
A:
Our waxes will last 3-4 months in normal conditions. There are measures you can take to get the most out of your wax. Garaging your car will prevent nighttime moisture from wearing away the wax. Additionally, parking in the shade will reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that affect the life of the wax as well. Finally, allowing us to wash your car will ensure that the proper car washing chemicals and materials come in contact with your car. We will also apply paint enhancers that increase the life of the wax.
Q:
Can I have my car polished but not waxed?
A:
Polishing your car is what brings out the depth, gloss and shine for that "wet look" that most car enthusiasts crave. However, polishing adds no protection to your vehicle and in fact, usually strips any previous coat of wax on the paint. For this reason, it is absolutely essential that the car is waxed or synthetically sealed after polishing to "lock in" the polish and protect your car, yielding long lasting protection and shine.
