Optional Services

— The Tacklebox —

Here in the Tri-Lakes area, a lot of us keep at least one tacklebox fully stocked and ready to go — a place for the line, lures and tools that make all the difference.

This is ours: a focused collection of high‑value upgrades crafted to enhance and add meaningful protection and long‑term value to your vehicle.

Exterior Options:

“The Power Plant” Engine Bay Detail— $60 - $150

Careful cleaning and dressing of the engine compartment using low-risk techniques. See “The Power Plant” Engine Bay Detail page for an itemized list of services included in this service.

Paint & Body Decontamination:

  • Clay + Iron Total Decon — $125
    A complete deep‑clean for your paint. This service removes both embedded metal particles and bonded surface contaminants, leaving the finish noticeably smoother and ready for protection.

  • Iron/Ferrous Metal Removal — $80
    Targets and dissolves the tiny metal particles that cling to your paint from brake dust and road travel. Restores a cleaner, safer surface and helps prevent long‑term staining.

  • Synthetic Clay Service — $60
    Gently lifts away bonded contaminants that washing can’t remove. Leaves the paint feeling smooth again and improves the performance of any wax, sealant, or coating applied afterward.

Paint Enhancement — $125/hr (2hr minimum)
billed in 15-minute increments thereafter

Revives gloss and clarity without intensive defect removal. This service gently refines the surface to reduce dullness, haze, and light oxidation — delivering a noticeable shine upgrade while preserving your clear coat. Ideal for new and well-maintained vehicles, or those seeking a quick visual refresh before sale or seasonal protection.

NOTE: Requires purchase of an exterior or full detail prior to paint prep and polishing. Includes full professional prep and finishing steps (test spot, taping, polishing, panel prep, and final inspection)

Paint Enhancement Notice
Paint enhancement is a cosmetic service designed to boost gloss and clarity. It does not remove defects or alter the clear coat. Tri-Lakes Mobile Detailing uses safe, professional-grade products, and results may vary based on paint condition.

Single-Stage Paint Correction — $125/hr (4hr minimum)
billed in 15- minute increments thereafter

Removes 50–80% of minor imperfections in your clear coat — including light swirls, scratches, and water spots. Enhances gloss and clarity while preserving more of your clear coat than multi-stage correction. Ideal for most vehicles seeking a budget-friendly shine upgrade.

NOTE: Requires purchase of an exterior or full detail prior to paint prep and polishing. Includes full professional prep and finishing steps (test spot, taping, polishing, panel prep, and final inspection)

One-Stage Paint Correction Notice
One-stage correction reduces light swirls, oxidation, and haze through a single machine-polishing step. It improves gloss and clarity but may not remove deeper defects. Results vary based on paint type, age, and condition. Client acknowledgement is required before service.

Headlight / Fog Light Polishing — $50/headlight • $30/fog light

Exhaust Tip Polishing — $20/tip
Est. Time: 15–20 min per tip

Heat, soot, and grime dull your exhaust tips — but they don’t have to stay that way. We restore shine and clarity using professional-grade metal polishes and safe techniques for chrome, stainless, or black-coated finishes.
