General
We offer auto detailing, paint correction, RV detailing, and horse trailer cleaning. Auto detailing includes the Diamond Wash ($150), Interior Revival ($200), Diamond Detail ($325), and Black Diamond Detail ($475). Paint correction runs $750 for Stage 1 and $1,200 for Stage 2. RV and equestrian services are quoted after consultation based on size and condition. We also offer monthly and quarterly maintenance plans to keep your vehicle in top condition year-round.
Yes — entirely. We come to your driveway, workplace, storage facility, or wherever your vehicle is. Our setup is fully self-contained with 35 gallons of water on board, so we don't need access to your water supply for auto detailing, paint correction, or horse trailer cleaning. The only exception is RV detailing, which requires a water hookup on site due to the volume of water needed. Power is always provided by us.
We primarily serve Puyallup, Tacoma, and the greater Seattle area. Not sure if you're in range — text us at (253) 441-5170 and we'll let you know.
For auto detailing, paint correction, and horse trailer cleaning — no. We're fully self-contained. For RV detailing, a water hookup is required at your location due to the volume of water involved. Power is always provided by us regardless of service.
Booking & payment
You can book online through our scheduling link at acuityscheduling.com, fill out a quote form on the relevant service page, or text us directly at (253) 441-5170. A 50% deposit is required to secure your appointment. The remaining balance is adjusted and collected at the point of service through Square. All quotes are confirmed before any work begins.
A 50% deposit secures your time slot and covers our preparation. As a mobile solo operator, each appointment is reserved exclusively for you — a deposit ensures that time is protected for both of us.
Occasionally. Vehicles in significantly worse condition than described may be subject to a condition adjustment. We always communicate this before proceeding — nothing is added to your bill without your approval first.
Services
It depends on the service. A Diamond Wash takes 1.5–2 hours. An Interior Revival is around 2 hours. The Diamond Detail runs 3–4 hours and the Black Diamond Detail 4–5 hours. Stage 1 paint correction takes 4–6 hours and Stage 2 can run 8–12 hours. RV and horse trailer services vary based on size and condition — timing is confirmed at booking.
Stage 1 is a single-pass machine polish that removes light to moderate swirl marks, wash scratches, and surface defects — correcting around 60–70% of paint defects. Stage 2 is a multi-stage process for heavier defects like deep swirling, water etching, and oxidation — correcting 85–95% of defects. Stage 2 is also the required prep before any ceramic coating application.
Yes to both. RV detailing covers Class A, B, C, travel trailers, and fifth wheels — pricing starts at $350 for exterior and $600 for a full detail depending on size. For RV services, a water hookup is required at your location. Horse trailer cleaning uses animal safe products throughout and requires no water hookup — we're fully self-contained. Both are quoted after a quick consultation based on size and condition.
Maintenance plans
Maintenance plans are recurring monthly or quarterly services designed to protect the result of your first detail. After a full Black Diamond detail, the ceramic sealant needs regular upkeep to keep performing — a plan keeps your paint protected, clean, and looking the way it did on day one. Plans start at $120/month.
No contracts, no commitment. All plans are month-to-month. Cancel anytime with 24 hours notice before your next scheduled service — that's it.
