About Spokane Valley Detailing
I'm Vlad. I detail cars in Spokane Valley — one at a time, by appointment.
I started Spokane Valley Detailing in 2022 after years of being the guy friends and family called when their car needed real attention. [VLAD: add one sentence on what first drew you to detailing — the car, the moment, the frustration with quick washes.]
I got tired of seeing "detailing" that was really just a fast wash and a coat of wax slapped over swirl marks. That's not what your paint needs, and it's not what you're paying for. So I trained — IDA-trained under Renny Doyle's program, and certified as a P&S Certified Professional in Paint Correction and Ceramic Coating — so the work I do actually holds up.
I stay appointment-only because rushing between cars is how paint gets hurt. One vehicle at a time means I can look at the whole car, tell you honestly what it needs, and take the time to do it right.
I can't fix scratches that have broken through the clear coat, and I'll tell you that before you pay me — not after.

My name is on every job. If something isn't right, I fix it.
Focused Time
Appointment-only means I work on one vehicle at a time, start to finish.
Local
I live and work in Spokane Valley. You're supporting a neighbor, not a chain.
Our Detailing Process
- 1
Consultation & Inspection
Every job starts with a walk-around. I assess paint condition, identify swirls and scratches, and document existing damage — so there are no surprises.
- 2
Pre-Wash & Decontamination
Foam pre-wash softens contaminants, then a clay bar removes embedded iron particles and road tar before a single mitt touches the paint.
- 3
Hand Wash — Two-Bucket Method
pH-neutral soap, premium microfiber mitts, and the two-bucket method eliminate cross-contamination. Every panel washed with purpose.
- 4
Paint Correction & Polishing
Multi-stage machine polishing with professional compounds removes swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation — restoring deep, mirror-like clarity.
- 5
Protection Application
Once paint is perfected, I lock in the results — wax, sealant, or ceramic coating, each applied with precision and proper cure time.
- 6
Final Detail & Quality Check
Tire and trim dressing, glass cleaning inside and out, and a full LED-light inspection. You don't get your car back until I'm fully satisfied.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why a Dedicated Studio Over Mobile Detailing?+
For paint correction and coatings, studio is non-negotiable — here's why. While mobile detailing offers convenience, it is often at the mercy of the elements. Our Spokane Valley studio trades the driveway for a well-lit, dust-free environment designed for perfection. Direct sunlight, wind-blown dust, and fluctuating temperatures are enemies of high-end car care. Our studio ensures that cleaners, polishes, and protectants bond perfectly in a dust-free environment. Outdoor light hides swirls and scratches — our studio lighting reveals every imperfection. We use professional-grade equipment and a locked, private garage studio with garage keepers and general liability insurance. Perfection requires a platform, not a pavement.
Do I need paint correction?+
Paint correction removes surface imperfections like swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation through machine polishing. If your paint looks dull, has visible scratches in sunlight, or lacks depth, paint correction can restore it to better-than-new condition. We offer single-stage and multi-stage correction — we'll recommend the right level during your drop-off inspection.
What is the difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 Paint Correction?+
Stage 1 is a single-pass polish that removes 50–70% of light defects and enhances gloss. Stage 2 is a two-step process (cut + refine) that removes 85–95%+ of defects including moderate scratches and swirls. The right stage depends on your paint's condition and your goals.
Will this remove every stain from my interior?+
Most stains — coffee, food, grease, pet accidents — respond very well to our deep cleaning and stain treatment process. However, stains that have permanently set into the fibers (old dye transfers, certain inks, bleach damage) may not fully come out. We set realistic expectations upfront.
Will paint correction remove deep scratches or rock chips?+
Machine polishing removes defects within the clear coat layer. Light swirl marks and fine scratches are fully eliminated. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail may be significantly improved but cannot be fully removed without repainting. Rock chips require professional touch-up paint.
How should I maintain my vehicle after detailing?+
For the first week, avoid automatic car washes and heavy rain if possible. Use a pH-neutral car shampoo and a soft microfiber wash mitt for hand washes. After a ceramic coating, follow our specific care sheet — avoid washing for 7 days to allow full cure. Regular maintenance washes every 2–4 weeks keep your protection performing at its best.
Why is a ceramic coating better than traditional wax?+
Wax sits on top of the paint and lasts 4–6 weeks. Ceramic coating chemically bonds to the clear coat, creating a semi-permanent layer of protection that lasts 2–5+ years. It's harder, more hydrophobic, more resistant to chemicals and UV — and it dramatically reduces the time and effort needed to keep your car clean.
What areas do you serve?+
Our studio is located at 13304 E 4th Ave, Spokane Valley, WA 99216. We serve clients from across the greater Spokane metro area including Spokane Valley, Liberty Lake, Greenacres, Veradale, Elk Ridge, South Hill, Spokane, and also clients from Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, ID who make the trip for our quality of work.
How is pricing determined?+
Pricing is based on vehicle size (sedan, SUV, truck/XL), the condition of the vehicle, and the services selected. All prices shown are starting points — your final quote is confirmed after we inspect the vehicle at drop-off. No surprises.
