Detailing Services in Huntington Beach, CA

Not a replacement for paint correction—detailing at The Recon Pros is about maintaining and preparing vehicles the right way.

Detailing With Purpose

Detailing at The Recon Pros is not about temporary shine or fast turnaround volume work. Our detailing services are designed to clean, preserve, and maintain a vehicle’s condition while respecting the integrity of the materials and finishes.

Deliberate, Controlled, & Thorough

Whether preparing a vehicle for paint correction, maintaining a protected finish, or restoring cleanliness inside the cabin, our detailing process is deliberate, controlled, and thorough.

DETAILING VS. PAINT CORRECTION

Detailing Is Not Paint Correction

Detailing focuses on cleaning and conditioning surfaces. Paint correction permanently removes defects from the clear coat.While detailing improves appearance and cleanliness, it does not eliminate scratches, swirl marks, oxidation, or paint defects. For vehicles with visible paint damage, paint correction is the appropriate solution.

Our team will always recommend the service that makes sense—never unnecessary work.

Questions

What you need to know about professional auto detailing and restoration

How long does a detailing service take?

Time varies based on the vehicle and service scope. Most detailing services are completed within the same day.

Can you fix deep scratches?

Machine polishing removes swirl marks and light scratches that live in the clear coat. Deep gouges that cut through to primer need different work. We'll tell you straight what's possible.

Is interior detailing worth it?

Your cabin takes a beating from dust, spills, and time. Deep cleaning and conditioning restore what surface vacuuming never touches. A restored interior feels like a different car.

Is detailing right for heavily damaged or neglected paint?

Detailing may improve cleanliness, but vehicles with visible paint damage or heavy defects are better suited for paint correction. We’ll always recommend the appropriate service after inspection.

How often should I detail my car?

That depends on your climate and how much your car sits outside. Most vehicles benefit from a full detail once or twice a year. We can assess your situation and recommend what makes sense.

Do you work on all vehicle types?

Sedans, trucks, SUVs, sports cars—we detail them all. Each vehicle gets the same attention to detail and respect for its finish. The method stays the same, the results speak for themselves.

What if my paint is heavily oxidized?

Oxidation is what happens when your clear coat breaks down from sun and weather. Machine polishing removes the damaged layer and restores the shine underneath. It's restoration, not just cleaning.

Can leather be restored?

Leather that's cracked or faded can be cleaned and conditioned back to life. We use treatments designed for the material, not shortcuts. Your interior can feel like new again.

How much does a full detail cost?

Price depends on your vehicle's size and condition. A sedan runs different than a truck, and heavy oxidation takes more work. We'll give you a straight number after we see what we're working with.

What should I do before detailing?

Nothing special. Bring your car as it is. We handle the assessment and preparation. Just know that we're going to find and fix what's been wearing on your finish.
