At our company we offer a multitude of services dedicated to helping our customers get the exact needs for their individual vehicles. We offer the best customer service and attention to detail in the market for car, truck, boat, or even RV cleanings and details. Below, we will have some examples listed of our most popular services. If you do not find what you are looking for don’t hesitate to give us a call or email to find out if we offer the ability to take care of your individual needs.
Heres a brief rundown of our services in the order we would recommend them:
The Two-Bucket Wash Method (The Wash)
Any detailer can tell you that utilizing more than one wash bucket for car washes greatly increases the safety of your painted, and bare metal / chrome surfaces. Most driveway car washes are done by only using one bucket, but this method can be unsafe for your clear coat especially if a vehicle is extremely dirty. As a vehicle is washed, contaminants on paint are removed and entrapped in a rag or mitt, and the use of another bucket of water helps to remove these particles before the cloth is put back into the soap bucket and back onto your vehicle's surfaces, greatly reducing the risk of damage. We also utilize a foam cannon to lift and rinse contaminants before they ever get the chance to make it into the wash bucket.
Iron Removal
The only true way to remove embedded iron particles from painted surfaces is by the use of a dedicated iron remover such as ‘Iron X’ or Adam’s Polishes Iron remover. Iron removers work by opening the pores of painted surfaces in order to isolate and exfoliate the encapsulated particles along with neutralizing the surrounding area of sediment that have developed. The use of iron removers is most impressive when used on wheels as brake pads contain high levels of iron and can easily embed the wheels painted surface. Scheduling use of iron removers helps to keep your paint free of particles and healthy for years to come.
Clay Bar
Made from synthetics or even natural clay, automotive clay bars are used to remove contaminants from glass, painted surfaces and even metal. When paired alongside chemicals such as iron removal, it is more than assured that the affected areas of your vehicle will have containments completely removed. Another great perk of clay bars is that they are made from clay and inherently elastic. Due to the material of the clay bar, contaminants are extracted and in turn stuck in the clay to be pushed and folded so they are of no harm to your surfaces as the extraction process continues.
Compounds and Polishes
If your car is washed or driven for long periods of time without being properly polished on a regular basis, there is a good chance that your vehicle could use a minor step of compound or polish correction. On a perfectionist detail we may use up to four levels of compound work to properly retrieve the shine a vehicle needs. Compounding / Polishing is the act of removing a light layer of clear coat to reduce or remove scratches.
Waxes
From carnauba to synthetic waxes, not every wax is created equal in the amount of protection and shine that they deliver to your vehicle. If you've ever taken a trip to your local superstore car section, you've probably realized that there are just frankly too many different companies and styles to choose from. Most waxes are based by carnauba and blended in oils and polymers to soften the wax as carnauba is very hard in its natural form. Most waxes last from only a couple weeks to a couple of months depending on the quality, but our shop uses only the highest quality detailing products in order to give your paint the maximum amount of protection possible from a wax.
Paint Sealants
In addition to the traditional wax job, paint sealants are liquid compounds that are engineered to adhere to a painted surface to increase protection and durability while working alongside traditional waxes. Made from synthetic compounds, paint sealants bond stronger and harder than that of waxes and tend to help bring a greater shine out of painted surfaces when applied in addition to waxes. Sealants also offer longer reapplication periods in the range of six months to a year, and greater resistance to solvents and etching from fallout and hard water marks.
Ceramic Coating
The strongest and most high tech protection for your vehicles paint is a ceramic coating. Made from silicates, and when applied to paint, ceramics form a scratch resistant semi permanent surface that acts like a second clear coat, only much stronger. Most coatings tend to last between one to three years depending on proper installation and care after installation. Some ceramics are even advertised to protect for five or more years with enough coats! The only downsides of ceramics are that surfaces need to be corrected to perfection before applied. Once the ceramic is applied and hardened, it much be removed by the use of an electric polisher. The other drawback of ceramics are that depending on the level of protection desired, they take considerably longer than traditional sealants and waxes apply and also cost considerably more. All in all, nothing will protect your vehicle better and longer than a ceramic coating, and is worth taking a look for vehicle owners who prize their paint jobs.
Trim Restoration
If your vehicle is more than a couple of years old, its more than likely that the trim both inside and out has faded from its original color. In most cases, we will remove any oxidation that has built up and apply a UV protectant to increase the trim's ability to resist sun damage.
All of your boat detailing needs
For most boat owners we recommend a bi-annual detail to maintain shine and protection. It’s most necessary to detail a marine vessel at the beginning and ending of the season. Even if your boat is brand new, don’t hesitate to give us a call in order to have it protected before it even hits the water! No matter your needs or schedule, we are dedicated to making any accommodations necessary.
We serve all of Lake Murray, Forest Lake, and Lake Katherine. We also operate out of Lake Murray Marina, Lighthouse Marina, South-shore Marina, RiverWinds Landing, Buck’s Marina, Jakes Landing.

Dude was straight PRO!. Was on time and was extremely precise and OCD with his work. My car was scratched from front to rear from a carwash. Now my car looks brandnew!! I highly recommend this company.

Austin is a master of his work. He takes his time, picking out everything minute detail that needs to be addressed and takes care of it. He treats his customers cars as if they were, if not better than, his own. The work he has done for me, full body washes, clay bar, waxing, and ceramic coating, have all been pristine. He does, and can do, anything you ask of him. Even if you’ve never gotten your car professionally detailed, and even if that sounds silly to you, let Austin change your mind and just watch how much a good detail will do for your ride. I would recommend Austin to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, experienced detailer. He’s always my go-to when my cars need a pick-me-up. No matter if you drive a diesel truck, or a Prius, Austin will knock it out of the park. From simple washes to full details. Because everyone knows a clean car runs better.

Austin is a true professional and it is apparent that he has a true passion for detailing and has pride in his work. This is rare! He demonstrates a high level of customer service and seeks to make the customer happy. My BMW 750i had recently had ceramic coating applied by another vendor and it was clear the job was not done well. I had water spots that had embedded in the ceramic coating and needed to be detailed to removed. Austin knew exactly what needed to be done and he made my car look brand new! I cannot express enough how pleased I am with the results. I would recommend Polished Mobile Detailing to anyone who has a desire to protect and care for their investment in their cars.

I had my 2012 Toyota Tundra detailed and they did a fantastic job. They got all of the mud off of the undercarriage and did a great job on it. After it was finished the truck literally looked better than when it came off the lot. Fantastic attention to detail and my truck has never looked better. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.. they do it the right way.
