1. Park accessibly
Driveway with 10ft clearance. Apartment complex parking lot also fine.
2. Empty personal items
Remove valuables from console, glove box, trunk.
3. Tell Joe about issues
Pet hair, smoke, food spills, call ahead so he brings the right tools.

What to Do Before I Arrive
Preparation on your end takes about five minutes and makes the detail more efficient, which means more time on cleaning rather than on logistics once I arrive. Here is the full list:
- Remove personal items from the vehicle, Take out anything you do not want moved: sunglasses, charging cables, loose change, documents, child car seats if possible, anything in the center console or door pockets that you want to keep organized your way. I will move items to work and replace them, but the easiest path is clear surfaces.
- Confirm a clear parking spot I bring everything I need to complete your detail.
- Park in a covered or shaded area if possible, For exterior work, shade is ideal. Direct Kansas summer sun on paint above 130 degrees makes iron decon and sealant application more difficult to control. If a garage or shaded driveway is available, park there.
- Leave the vehicle unlocked, Or be present when I arrive to unlock it. I will not wait for a locked vehicle with product loaded and ready.
- Leave windows closed, Closed windows until I start the interior process. This prevents outside dust from settling on surfaces I have already started cleaning.
What You Do NOT Need to Do
- Pre-clean or vacuum the vehicle, that is my job. Do not try to prep the interior before I arrive.
- Wash the car first, this is counterproductive if I am performing iron decon and clay bar, because I will be washing it correctly as part of the process anyway.
- Be home during the detail, most customers go about their day. I text when I arrive and when I am done. You do not need to supervise.
- Provide any supplies, I bring everything. Chemicals, equipment, microfibers, hoses, power. Your only contribution is the water connection.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is mobile car detailing?
Mobile car detailing means the detailer brings all equipment to your location, your home, office, or anywhere your vehicle is parked. You do not need to drive to a shop or arrange transportation.
Is mobile car detailing as good as a shop detail?
Mobile detailing from Premier Detailing uses the same professional-grade equipment and products as any fixed-location shop, and in many cases delivers better results because each vehicle receives dedicated one-on-one attention rather than a production-line process.
Do I need to prepare anything for a mobile detail?
Nothing special is needed from you. I come to you with the professional equipment, supplies, and products to complete your detail, and I confirm parking and a couple of quick details when you book.
