For Garage-Kept Classics

A Proper Wash and a Real Wax for Your Classic Car

Classic car owners tend to want two things from a detailer: a proper hand wash that never goes near a tunnel, and a real wax. Most prefer carnauba over the paint sealants we also offer.

Older cars also take more care. They were built with different materials from back in the day, so we take our time, work by hand and confirm the right approach for your car and its paint before we start.

Why Classic Owners Call Us

Why Hand Detailing Matters for Older Paint

Your Classic Never Goes Through a Tunnel

Tunnel brushes have already scrubbed hundreds of other cars before yours. Your classic gets clean mitts and a two-bucket hand wash instead.

The Wax Classic Owners Ask For

Carnauba gives a deep, warm gloss and a water-beading barrier. It’s the finish most classic owners prefer over a sealant.

It Stays at Home

No trailer, no drop-off and no stranger driving it across town. We bring the water and power to you.

I was really impressed with the end results, my car looked like if I had just bought it the same day. Really appreciate your service and will definitely be calling you again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick did an awesome job detailing my 340i. The car came out looking absolutely spotless, inside and out, and you can tell he actually takes his time and pays attention to the small details. Great work, professional, and definitely someone I’d recommend to anyone looking to get their car detailed.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had 2 SUVs detailed and both were done very well. Mine is 10 years old and while I wash it I don’t detail it so it needed a good detailing. The young men said that they were going to make it look new again and they lived up to that claim. Both cars look brand new again! We will certainly use Pristine Mobile Detailing again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very satisfying results for my 15 year old vehicle, interior looks and smells like new. Smooth surfaces had luxurious sheen, unlike a previous detailing done elsewhere which had a wet shining look and feel. My well-worn front driver's side floor mat came out better than my best expectations.
Guys were prompt, informative, and courteous. Definitely will use them again for my next vehicle refresh.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys did an incredible job for me on two cars. Full inside and out detail on one and an exterior wash on the other. The interior was a big job since the car had significant dog hair to remove.  When they were done it looked brand new.  Great to see people that take great pride in their work.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were very satisfied with our detailing experience on both vehicles! Communication was very efficient and easy when initially receiving quotes and scheduling the service. The team used all their own supplies, water, and electrical which made it easy to come to the location of the vehicles. We were thrilled with how much they restored the inside of our main family vehicle back to new condition. The little extra touches upon finishing of an air freshener and microfiber cloth were a surprise! We are new customers and have already passed along Pristine's contact info to friends and neighbors. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Pristine Mobile Detailing come out to Arlington Heights to clean up my C4 Corvette and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Super convenient having them come right to me, and you can tell they actually care about the cars they work on. The Corvette came out looking incredible. Great local option if you need a reliable mobile detailer in Arlington Heights.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you detail classic, antique and collector cars?

Yes. We hand wash, decontaminate and wax classic cars and detail their interiors, at the owner’s home. Every older car is different, so we quote each one before we book it.

Do you use wax or a sealant on classic paint?

Whichever you prefer. Most classic owners ask for carnauba wax for its deep, warm gloss, and we machine apply it over freshly decontaminated paint. We offer paint sealants too.

Is a mobile detail safe for an older car?

Our wash is built around it: wheels cleaned first, a no-contact pre-rinse, then a two-bucket hand wash with microfiber mitts. Older materials take more care, so we take our time.

How much does classic car detailing cost?

Every classic arrives in a different condition, so we quote it. Send the year, make and model through the quote form, and we’ll reply within a few business hours.

Do you clean the chrome?

Yes. Chrome is hand washed with the rest of the car and dried with a proper technique to prevent water spots and streaks.
