"Trusted Detailing's ability along with their knowledge of high speed buffers was a major reason I selected them to be involved with detailing Air Force One. They are some of the most skilled detailers I have worked with and their commitment to providing top notch work was a chief reason they took part in this project"

"I drive a 1967 Camaro and 2005 Audi S4, so when it comes to detailing, I don't want harsh chemicals anywhere near my car. Trusted Detailing made my cars look better than ever, and didn't leave a toxic smell behind. The 'green' approach is definitely best for my car, as well as the environment."

As a member of the Spokane Model T Club as well as the INCC, I tried a new business called Trusted Detailing. They worked on my 1953 Chevy just prior to the Downtown Car Show. It never looked better "!
Suzie and I want to thank them for their work.

"These guys are the Best with great pricing"
They've done 4 of my vehicles and I would never go anywhere else. All the services I've received have been flawless. I had all 4 vehicles detailed and two of them tinted. They don't need any excuses that time will make the wrinkles or air bubbles go away because there never are any. They get it done right the first time and at a great price and this spring I'm having them detail all 4 of my cars again.

"I bought a brand new 2009 Civic LX-S recently. As I was really concerned about privacy and security in and out of my car, I carefully narrowed down which company I should take my baby for window tinting. Before I used their services, I looked up the pics that they have done for other customers' car and I question to myself, is it real? Are they doing that perfectly? Now, I can definitely say YES. They can help you get what you want and what you expect and even some addition you may not think of. If you got questions, don't be afraid to ask! They will do the best to help you and solve your problems. Trusted Detailing - It's a place that YOU can trust!"

I can't believe this !
I have a 1959 Chevy Corvair ($30,000 just on paint) and I heard about Trusted Detailing from other people who also have classic cars. I don't let anyone touch my cars (I have 19 classic cars) and I kept hearing about Trusted and how good they were. I took the chance and had them buff our $30,000 paint job and wow !"

Abrasives - Used in polishes to mechanically remove oxidation and smooth the edges of fine scratches and swirl marks thereby reducing or removing their appearance. Abrasives used are made of aluminum silicate or kaolin clay. Polishes vary in polishing strength based on the percentage of abrasive (by weight) is contained in the product.
Carnauba - Obtained from the leaves of the carnauba palm found in the forests of South America and used primarily in waxes as the main source of protection. Carnauba in its purest form is very hard and brittle. Carnauba goes through a process of being mixed with petroleum solvents to soften it so that it can be easily applied.
Clay - A natural earth element which was utilized beginning in the early part of the 1900’s to remove overspray contaminants such as paint overspray, rail dust and encrusted sap from the paintwork of cars. Contrary to popular belief, clay does not remove oxidation or enhance depth and gloss which is the purpose of paintwork polish. Use once or twice a year in conjunction with your polishing and wax regimen to remove contaminants in the paintwork that polishes can not remove.
Clear Coat - Clear non-pigmented paint usually made of polyurethane (PU). Clear Coat is applied as a second coat over a base coat of pigmented paint in two-stage paint finishes—commonly referred as ‘base coat/clear coat’ finishes. Clear coat contains UV inhibitors. Contrary to popular belief, clear coat is not maintenance-free and does degrade like pigmented paint due to UV rays and acid rain. Therefore it needs to be polished on a regular basis to maintain depth, gloss, and longevity to keep the original wet-look finish.
Compounding - using a compound to remove paint imperfections, oxidation, scratches, stains, and other belmishes.
Cosmoline - A grease applied to vehicles prior to transport to inhibit rust formation on exterior metal parts. While vehicles are cleaned at points of distribution before delivery to dealers, traces of cosmoline may seep out of exterior trim crevices.
Cured Paint - Refers to paint that is applied at either the factory (original finish) or a refinishing paint/body shop and is 30 days or older.
Cutting - same as compounding, just a more specific term. "Cutting" means using an abrasive to "cut" into the paint finish.
Gel Coat - A fiber applied to marine vehicles that comprise of glass-fiber reinforced plastic. Gel coats can be polished safely polished and waxed but we prefer a marine gel coat product over wax.
Leveling - Smoothing out a paint finish by cutting the "peaks" down to the level of the "valleys", thus "leveling" the paint finish. This is usually necessary on fresh paint when it has orange peel.
Buffing - This generic term can mean literally anything from compounding to wiping the wax off by hand. It simply depends on who you ask.
Polishing - using a mildly abrasive polish to do one or more of the following: remove swirl marks, restore color and gloss to the paint, and/or remove minor paint imperfections.
Swirl Removing - using a mildly abrasive polish to remove swirl marks. Sometimes a compound is needed to remove severe swirl marks.
Waxing - Applying a wax: Wax comes in a variety of forms including organic such as carnauba and paraffin and synthetic. Waxes may contain silicone for easier application and removal and enhanced shine. If applied on a regular basis, waxes make washing and cleaning of the paintwork easier as well as offer protection from UV rays, acid rain and other environmental influences.
Sealing - Applying a polmer paint sealant literally means two small molecules attached to form a large molecule. In broader terms, it means synthetic. Polymers cover a wide variety of products. In the case of car care products it can refer to polymer acrylics, polymers In each case, the polymer means man-made.
Note: Many products marketed as waxes do not really contain any natural waxes such as carnauba. They use synthetic waxes, polymers, resins, etc. In other words, they are really closer to being sealants than waxes.
