Automotive detailing is a professional deep-cleaning and restoration process designed to improve and protect your vehicle’s appearance. Unlike a traditional car wash, detailing focuses on thoroughly cleaning, restoring, and protecting both the interior and exterior of your vehicle.

Services may include:

  • Interior Deep Cleaning
  • Carpet & Upholstery Shampooing
  • Exterior Washing
  • Clay Bar Treatment
  • Waxing & Sealants
  • Paint Correction
  • Ceramic Coatings
  • Engine Bay Cleaning
  • Odor Removal

Our goal is to make your vehicle look, feel, and maintain like new.

Interior Detailing

Interior detailing focuses on cleaning and restoring the inside of your vehicle, including:

  • Seats
  • Carpets
  • Floor Mats
  • Dashboard
  • Door Panels
  • Cup Holders
  • Air Vents
  • Headliner
  • Cargo Areas


Exterior Detailing

Exterior detailing focuses on cleaning, restoring, and protecting your vehicle’s exterior surfaces, including:

  • Paint
  • Wheels
  • Tires
  • Glass
  • Trim
  • Door Jambs

Many customers choose a full detail package that combines both services.

Most vehicles benefit from professional detailing every 3 to 6 months.

Factors that may require more frequent detailing include:

  • Daily driving
  • Pets
  • Children
  • Military travel
  • Long commutes

  • Harsh weather conditions
  • Excessive dust or dirt exposure

Regular detailing helps preserve your vehicle’s value and appearance while making routine maintenance easier.

A ceramic coating is a professional-grade protective layer applied to your vehicle’s paint, wheels, glass, or trim.

Unlike traditional waxes, ceramic coatings provide long-lasting protection against:

  • UV Damage
  • Bird Droppings
  • Bug Splatter
  • Road Grime
  • Water Spots
  • Environmental Contamination
  • Benefits include:
  • Incredible Gloss & Shine
  • Easier Maintenance
  • Superior Water Beading
  • Long-Term Paint Protection
  • Increased Resale Value

As a Gtechniq Accredited Installer, Makai’s Automotive Detailing offers professional ceramic coating solutions for vehicles throughout Altus, Lawton, Fort Sill, and Southwest Oklahoma.

Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from your vehicle’s paint through machine polishing.

Paint correction can improve or remove:

  • Swirl Marks
  • Light Scratches
  • Oxidation
  • Water Spots
  • Holograms
  • Paint Marring

Unlike products that temporarily hide defects, paint correction permanently removes many imperfections and restores gloss and clarity.

 

Not always.

Many light and moderate scratches can be significantly improved or completely removed. However, deep scratches that have penetrated the clear coat may require touch-up paint or repainting.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your vehicle and explain what results can realistically be achieved.

In many cases, yes.
