In the final episode of this mini-series, Emarc from Spec Ops Mobile Detailing answers the most frequently asked questions — from pricing to products to what truly sets his work apart.
What we cover:
What makes Spec Ops different and why clients get so excited seeing their cars transformed
Emarc’s most memorable detailing job (hint: four hardworking women business owners + four very real-life cars)
How he chooses safe chemicals and tools depending on the age and materials of each vehicle
The most overlooked areas in a car — especially under the seats and mats
A myth he had to bust: why a car wash is not the same as a detail
How long a full detail really takes (anywhere from 20 minutes to 2+ hours depending on the job)
Transparent pricing: Level 1 Interior/Exterior Detail starting at $120–$185 for sedans + coupes
How size, condition, and customer requests affect the final quote
How far ahead you should book (at least 24 hours)
Why he always starts with photos for a pre-detail consult
And yes — he’s fully mobile, and travel is included
The TL;DR takeaway:
Detailing is personal, tailored, and so much more than a wash. It tells the story of your car, your lifestyle, and the love you put into what you drive — and Spec Ops delivers that transformation right to your driveway.

In today’s episode, we break down the three most common ways people wash their cars — bristle washes, touchless washes, and full detailing — and uncover the real pros and cons of each. If you’ve ever wondered why your paint suddenly has swirl marks or which wash actually protects your investment, this one’s for you.
What we cover:
The differences between all major types of car washes
Why bristle car washes are fast and cheap… but create swirl marks, marring, and long-term paint damage
Why touchless washes are safer for paint (and why they still have downsides)
The chemicals touchless systems use — and how they can affect your clear coat over time
Why a true hand wash/detail is the “luxury version” of car care
What detailers can reach that machines never will: emblems, grills, trim, wheels, water spots, interior sanitation, and more
The real risk of inexperienced detailers
A full breakdown of all pros and cons
TL;DR:
Not all car washes are created equal. Bristle washes are quick, but damaging. Touchless washes are safer, but still limited. If you want real protection, longevity, and that fresh, like-new finish — detailing is the way to go.
