Your Mobile Detailing Appointment Checklist

Use this as a planning aid. The agreed service scope and product-specific instructions take priority.

Before asking for a quote

• Record make, model, year, number of vehicles, and general neighborhood.
• Note the finish: glossy paint, matte paint, wrap, film, ceramic coating, or unknown.
• Separate your top priority from optional improvements.
• Describe existing damage, recent repainting, stains, pet hair, or unusual materials.

Before confirming the appointment

• Agree on a written scope, price, travel terms, and any exclusions.
• Confirm private workspace permission, access, clearance, and shade requirements.
• Ask what water, power, and drainage arrangements are required.
• Confirm weather contingencies, approximate time, payment, and cancellation terms directly.
• Disclose property rules and arrange access privately; do not publish gate codes.

Before work begins

• Remove valuables, documents, loose electronics, and personal belongings.
• Remove child seats yourself if needed, following their manufacturer instructions.
• Point out fragile controls, loose trim, existing damage, or surfaces to avoid.
• Agree on whether any vehicle or property photographs may be used.

At handover

• Review the agreed scope together in useful lighting.
• Ask about curing, first wash, and product-specific aftercare.
• Record the date, services performed, and protective products actually applied.
