What’s the difference between paint correction and paint enhancement?

Paint enhancement is a one-step polish that boosts gloss and reduces light swirls. Paint correction is a multi-stage process that removes deeper scratches, oxidation, and swirl marks for a like-new finish.

Do you offer mobile detailing in Westchester and Rockland?

Yes, Tedrow’s Mobile Detailing provides full mobile service throughout Westchester, Rockland, Bergen County, and Southern Connecticut.

What is the difference between a detail and a car wash?

A car wash focuses on surface-level dirt, often using automated equipment. A detail is a deep-cleaning service that restores, protects, and enhances your car’s interior and exterior using professional tools and techniques.

Why should I get my car detailed?

Regular detailing maintains your vehicle’s appearance, protects your paint and interior from damage, and helps preserve resale value. It’s an investment in both beauty and longevity.

How much does a full detail cost?

Full detail packages with Tedrow’s Mobile Detailing typically range from $150 to $500 depending on the vehicle size and services selected. Add-ons like paint correction may increase pricing.

How do I keep my interior looking like new?

Avoid eating in your car, wipe down surfaces regularly, and schedule routine interior details. Ceramic interior coatings can also help repel stains and preserve finishes.
