How do you handle Tesla, Porsche and other makes?
Q01Do you detail Porsches?
Yes. LRS Custom Mobile Detailing corrects and coats 911, Taycan, Cayenne, Macan, Panamera and 718 paint, and cleans Race-Tex and Alcantara by hand. See Porsche paint correction.
Q02Is Tesla paint really soft?
Tesla paint is widely known among detailers for being soft and thin. It swirls easily but corrects quickly, usually with a 1-step for $399. See Tesla & Rivian paint.
Q03Can matte or satin paint be polished?
No. BMW Frozen, Mercedes MAGNO and Range Rover satin finishes are never machine polished. They get a matte-safe wash and matte-specific protection. See European paint.
Q04How do you clean Alcantara?
Low moisture, a microfiber-specific cleaner and a soft brush, then the nap is groomed. No leather conditioner. See Alcantara cleaning.
Q05Is detailing safe for driver-assist sensors and big screens?
Yes, done by hand: no close-range pressure washing on cameras or radar, and screen-safe cleaner on a towel for displays. See 2025+ vehicle detailing.
Q06Do you offer monthly detailing?
Yes. Plans run from $79 a month for a hand wash to $199 a month inside and out, with no contract. See monthly plans.

What does detailing cost?

“Complete Interior” is $199 for a car, $219 mid-size, $249 full-size and $279 for a van.
Q09What's the cheapest service?
The “VIP Hand-Wash” at $89: foam pre-soak, hand wash, wheels and tires, windows and spray sealant, about an hour.
Q10Do you charge a deposit?
No. Book online with no deposit and pay when the job is done.
Q11Why do prices go up for trucks and vans?
More paint outside, more seats, carpet and cargo inside. Each size has one exact price.
How does mobile service work?
Q12What do I need to have ready?
The vehicle reachable with room to open every door, unlocked or with keys where we agreed. Tell us about water and power at your spot in the form and we'll confirm before the day.
Q13Can you detail in an apartment parking lot?
If the property allows it and there's room around the vehicle, usually yes. Check with your property manager and add notes in the form.
Q14Can you detail inside my garage?
Yes, and it's the best spot on windy or cold days. Leave enough room to open the doors.
Q15What happens if it rains?
We call ahead to move into your garage or pick another day, at no cost.
Q16Do I have to be home?
No. We'll text when it's done.

How do paint correction and coatings work?
Q17What's the difference between paint correction and a detail?
A detail cleans and protects. Paint correction machine-polishes the clear coat to remove swirls and haze. Platinum Detail includes a light, single-stage version; full correction is its own service from $399.
Q18Is ceramic coating worth it in Colorado?
For a car you plan to keep, usually yes. It resists UV and mag chloride, keeps the gloss, and makes washing far faster. Coatings run $599 to $999 at LRS Custom Mobile Detailing, polishing included.
Q19Can a coating go on without polishing?
It can, but it shouldn't. A coating locks in whatever's underneath, so every LRS package polishes first.
Q20How do I wash a coated car?
Two-bucket hand wash with a pH-neutral soap every couple of weeks, rinse off deicer after storms, and skip brush car washes.
Q21Will paint correction thin my clear coat?
Every correction removes a tiny amount, which is why it's done with the least aggressive step that works and isn't repeated every year.

What does Colorado do to a car?
Q22How do I get mag chloride off my car?
Rinse it before it dries, especially lower panels and wheels. A detail with clay decontamination removes what's bonded, and a sealant or coating makes the next storm rinse off easier.
Q23Why do headlights yellow faster in Colorado?
Altitude means more UV. It breaks down the lens's factory UV coat sooner, and the bare plastic oxidizes.
Q24When should I detail before winter?
Late fall, before the first deicer goes down. A sealant or coating then makes winter washes much easier.
Q25How do I remove pine sap?
Don't scrape it. A sap remover or isopropyl softens it, then wash. Old, etched sap may need polishing.
Q26Does hail affect a ceramic coating?
A coating isn't impact protection. It won't stop hail dents, but it doesn't make them worse either.
