Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Wave Detail Co. services

How long does ceramic coating last?

Our ceramic coatings last from 6 months to 5 years depending on the package you choose. The 6-month protection is perfect for seasonal refresh, while our premium 3-5 year coating provides long-term protection with proper maintenance.

Do you offer mobile service?

Yes! We offer convenient pickup and delivery service for $30 within 10 miles of Montoursville, covering Williamsport, South Williamsport, and surrounding areas. We'll pick up your vehicle, detail it at our shop, and return it to you.

What's the difference between exterior detail and ceramic coating?

Exterior detailing ($60-$200) includes wash, clay bar, polish, and wax for immediate shine. Ceramic coating ($100-$800) bonds to your paint for 6 months to 5 years of protection with hydrophobic properties that make washing easier and protect against UV damage.

How long does a full detail take?

A basic exterior or interior detail takes 2-3 hours. Complete interior + exterior takes 4-6 hours. Ceramic coating with paint correction can take 1-2 days depending on vehicle condition. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when you book.

Do I need to drop off my car?

You can either drop off at our shop (190 Broad St, Montoursville) or use our $30 pickup & delivery service within 10 miles. Most customers in Williamsport, South Williamsport, and Muncy choose pickup for the convenience.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, all major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), and digital payments through Square. Payment is collected after service completion unless you book a package requiring a deposit.

Do you detail trucks and SUVs?

Absolutely! All our services are available for sedans, SUVs, trucks, and vans. We price by vehicle size - sedans start at lower rates while SUVs/trucks are priced slightly higher due to additional surface area and time required.

Can you remove pet hair?

Yes! We offer specialized pet hair removal service for $40 (in addition to interior detailing). We use professional tools and techniques to remove embedded dog and cat hair from seats, carpets, and all interior surfaces.

Can you remove odors from my vehicle?

Yes! We offer professional odor removal services including ozone treatment for stubborn smells. We can eliminate pet odors, smoke smell, mildew, and food odors at the source - not just mask them with fragrances.
