General FAQ – Mobile Detailing Services
At Nova Edge Auto Detailing, we proudly serve clients throughout the Triangle Area of North Carolina. Below you’ll find answers to common questions about our mobile detailing services, ceramic coating, paint correction, and maintenance plans.
Will my personal vehicle settings be changed during detailing? No. We take great care to avoid adjusting seat positions, mirror angles, or personal settings. If adjustments are necessary for cleaning purposes, everything will be returned to its original position.
How long does a detailing service take? Service time depends on the package selected and the condition of the vehicle. Most full detailing services take between 2–4 hours. Paint correction and ceramic coating services may require additional time.
Do you need access to water and electricity? Access to water and electricity helps the process move faster and more efficiently. However, it is not required. We carry: Our own water supply Professional generator Extension cords If water and electricity are available on-site, the service progresses more quickly. If not, no problem — we simply make additional setup preparations to complete the job properly.
