Remove valuables and personal items, make the vehicle accessible, identify special concerns and share gate or parking instructions. Do not pre-wash or vacuum unless you want to—the service is designed to handle the cleaning.
The five-minute preparation checklist
- Remove cash, electronics, documents and fragile items.
- Take out child seats if you want the area beneath them cleaned.
- Unlock the trunk, hatch and compartments included in the service.
- Point out stains, damage, odors or delicate aftermarket pieces.
- Leave enough room for doors to open safely.
What not to do
Do not apply household cleaners, silicone shine or fragrance bombs before service. These can set stains, create slippery surfaces or mask the odor source. Avoid washing immediately before correction because the detailer needs to evaluate contamination accurately.
Access and weather planning
Communicate HOA restrictions, narrow driveways, covered-work options and sprinkler schedules. Folsom heat and rain may influence the safest work sequence, especially for polishing and coatings.
What to expect at handoff
Your technician should confirm the scope, inspect existing damage and answer questions before starting. At completion, review the vehicle and any curing or maintenance instructions. Clear handoff prevents confusion and protects the result.
