Mobile Detailing FAQ

Yes. Vinny T's is 100% mobile. We detail at your home or workplace, so there's no drop-off, no waiting room and no downtime.

Yes. Every detail includes a paint sealant for gloss and protection, and Maintenance Plan visits renew it each time. Prefer a traditional wax? It's available on request.

Please request your appointment at least 2 days in advance. Book a week or more ahead to choose a morning or afternoon arrival, and requests made that far out are the most likely to be accepted. For sooner dates, Vinny sets the arrival time when he confirms by text or call.

Auburn, Cool, Grass Valley, Roseville, Rocklin, Granite Bay, Sacramento, Folsom, Lincoln, Loomis and the surrounding foothill and valley communities. Not sure if you're covered? Call and we'll confirm.

Go by your vehicle's condition. The Refresh Detail suits regularly maintained vehicles. The Full Detail is for vehicles that haven't been detailed in months or have stains. The Signature Detail adds a machine polish for dull or swirled paint. Not sure? Pick "Not sure" in the booking form and Vinny will recommend one.

Refresh Detail: about 2–3 hours. Full Detail: 3–5 hours. Signature Detail: 5–8 hours. Ceramic coatings can take a full day or more, depending on the paint.

No water needed: we bring our own 100-gallon tank of spot-free water, so there's nothing to borrow and no mineral spots left behind. The van is also stocked with professional products and equipment. If your location has no outdoor outlet, mention it when you book and Vinny will plan around it.

Often not. If we can access the vehicle (and the keys for interior work), you can carry on with your day. Mention your plan in the booking notes.

Paint enhancement (a one-step polish) removes light swirls and restores gloss. A ceramic coating is a protective layer applied after polishing that keeps that gloss and makes washing easier for years. Many clients do both.

Scheduled visits that keep your vehicle clean and protected year-round. Choose weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly for $150 a visit, or every 2 or 3 months from $175–$200 a visit. Every visit renews the paint sealant (with gloss enhancers and UV protection) and the UV protectant on your interior plastics. Plans start after a Full or Refresh Detail.

Payment is due when the job is done. We currently accept cash and Zelle.

Exterior work needs dry weather. If rain is in the forecast, Vinny will reach out to reschedule.

Yes. Vinny T's Mobile Detailing is a licensed and insured local business based in Placer County.

Yes. Choose RV / Boat in the booking form with the size and what you need, and we'll send a quote.

No. We bring our own 100-gallon water tank filled with spot-free water, so we never need to use yours. Spot-free water dries without leaving mineral spots on your paint and glass.

Yes. Choose your pet hair level in the booking form. Heavy pet hair takes extra time, so the estimate adjusts for it.

It removes light swirl marks, water-spot etching and haze, and restores gloss. Deep scratches you can catch with a fingernail need more aggressive correction and may only be improved.

If you want long-term protection, the Signature Detail is the ideal base, because coatings should go on freshly polished paint. Ask for a ceramic coating quote when you book.

Paint enhancement is a single polishing step that removes most light defects and maximizes gloss. Multi-step correction uses heavier cutting to remove deeper defects and takes much longer. For most daily drivers, a one-step polish gives the biggest visual improvement for the cost.

It removes light swirls and haze. Scratches deep enough to catch a fingernail can be reduced but usually not removed completely.

It depends on the coating chosen and how the vehicle is cared for. Professional coatings last years rather than the weeks you get from wax. Vinny will explain the options and durability for your quote.

Yes. Coatings don't stop dirt from landing, but they make washing much faster and help the paint stay glossy.
