-
Most vehicles take 2–6 hours.
Heavily soiled interiors, pet hair, salt buildup, or vehicles that haven’t been maintained regularly may require additional time. -
Yes. Light pet hair removal is included.
Heavy pet hair can be extremely time-consuming and may require additional charges. Results depend on:
How long the hair has been embedded
Fabric type
Severity of buildup
We’ll always be upfront about realistic expectations and what may remain. Severe pet hair often comes with odours that require additional odour treatment.
-
Yes. While all packages include light scent enhancement, true odour removal requires professional treatment.
We use ozone machines, which allow ozone gas to penetrate deep into fabrics and HVAC systems. This process neutralizes odours at a molecular level rather than masking them. It’s safe, effective, and the industry standard for stubborn smells.
-
Yes. Maintenance plans are the most cost-effective way to keep your vehicle looking fresh year-round.
Regular upkeep prevents the “once-a-year disaster detail” and makes future services quicker and easier.
-
Please remove all valuables and personal items.
Child seats can remain in the vehicle, but we cannot clean underneath them unless they’re removed prior to service.
-
Yes. Winter detailing is highly recommended in Canada.
It helps remove salt and grime buildup and protects interior and exterior surfaces, making your vehicle easier to maintain throughout the season.

Ceramic coating benefits
When a spray-wax just won’t cut it, upgrade to a head turning coating for longer durability and lasting shine for 3, 4 or 5+ years. Summit’s craftsmanship and eye for gloss give your car the wow factor it’s been missing.
For professional results, our coatings are installed in our temperature controlled shop in Metcalfe, ON.

We’ll tell you if polishing or a higher-tier coating makes sense—or if it doesn’t. The goal is the right fit for your car and budget, not the biggest invoice.Local, owner-operated

What to expect
Simple maintenance
Ceramic coatings still need basic care—but they make it easier. Gentle hand washes and periodic maintenance washes help the coating perform at its best and keep that just-detailed look longer.
Realistic expectations
Ceramic is tough, but it isn’t bulletproof. You’ll still want to avoid automatic brushes and clean off bird droppings, bugs, and salt reasonably quickly. The difference is how much better the paint looks and how much less effort it takes to keep it that way.
We’ve got your back
We’re happy to answer aftercare questions and can schedule maintenance or inspection details if needed, so you’re never guessing about how to look after your coating.

Polishing & paint restoration
Polishing removes surface imperfections such as oxidation, swirl marks, and fine scratches. This process refines the paint to restore depth, clarity, and a smooth, reflective finish.

Our approach
Different vehicles need different levels of correction
Newer vehicles typically require a single-step polish to enhance gloss and prepare the surface for coating.
Older or neglected finishes may need a multi-step correction to fully restore clarity and remove deeper imperfections. These services are quoted individually after inspection.
Not sure if your vehicle needs full correction or just a light polish? We’ll inspect the paint and recommend the right level of service so you only pay for what you actually need.
Polish & paint details
Included protection
Every polishing service includes a short-term sealant or ceramic booster that provides protection for approximately 6–12 months.
This helps preserve the restored finish and is especially useful for seasonal maintenance or pre-winter protection.
Why environment matters
Polishing and correction work require the right conditions for best results. All major corrections are performed in a controlled shop environment to protect your paint from heat and contamination. Working outdoors in direct summer sun can cause damage to the clear coat and reduce overall finish quality.
What our clients say
Talk to us about your vehicle
We’ll walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision.
If you aren’t sure whether your vehicle needs a full correction or a simple refresh, we will inspect it, explain the process, and help you decide what makes the most sense. You stay in control, and we provide the expertise.

No. Unlike many mobile detailers, our service is fully self-contained.
Our mobile truck carries its own water, power, and compressed air, allowing us to begin work immediately without relying on your utilities. No hoses, no tripped breakers, no inconvenience.
-
Mobile detailing works best in:
Residential driveways
Workplaces and office parking lots
Condo buildings and townhomes may be possible with approval and a suitable work area. If you’re unsure, we’ll help determine the best option before your appointment.
-
Most mobile detailing appointments take 2–6 hours, depending on:
Vehicle size
Interior and exterior condition
Services selected
Additional time may be required for heavy pet hair, salt buildup, or vehicles that haven’t been maintained regularly.
-
Sometimes. Parking garages must have adequate lighting, ventilation, and permission from property management. We’ll confirm whether the location is suitable to ensure quality results.
-
Yes. Mobile detailing is safe when performed correctly.
We use proper wash methods, clean microfiber towels, and controlled techniques designed to minimize friction and prevent damage. The quality of the process matters far more than the location.
Mobile Detailing Questions
-
No. As long as we have access to the vehicle and valuables are removed, you don’t need to be present.
Many clients book mobile detailing while they’re at work or while the vehicle sits at home.
-
Mobile detailing is available March through November, weather permitting.
During winter months, all services are performed at our indoor shop to ensure proper conditions and consistent results. -
We provide mobile detailing throughout Ottawa and surrounding areas, including Carp, Kanata, Stittsville, Nepean, Barrhaven, Greely, Manotick, and nearby communities.
-
Mobile detailing offers a deeper, more controlled clean than a car wash. We focus on careful contamination removal, interior protection, and long-term results rather than speed.
