Mirror Reflections Auto Spa
Mirror Reflections Auto Spa is a luxury auto detailing and ceramic coating provider serving Gainesville, Florida and neighboring towns. The business was founded in 2015, and work is carried out by a trained and certified technician with over 10 years of professional experience in Gainesville. The owner is the only person who services a client's car. The approach is described as restoring, enhancing, and preserving an automobile rather than cleaning it. Defects in the paint are safely polished through paint correction instead of being temporarily masked, and top grade preservation products, from boutique waxes to premium ceramic coatings, are chosen with the intent to exceed normal expectations. Every exterior service includes a gentle wash, a multiple step paint decontamination, polishing, and the application of paint protection, with a premium sealant applied to the painted surface. The Standard Exterior starts at $600 and uses a light machine polish with a claybar step. 1 Stage Paint Correction starts at $900 as a single polishing step, 2 Stage Minor Paint Correction starts at $1,200 and is called the starting point of true paint correction, and 2 Stage Major Paint Correction starts at $2,000 for severely neglected paint, though orange peel removal is not included. The Intensive Interior service starts at $300, runs at minimum 3 to 4 hours for vehicles in very good condition, disinfects the vehicle with BioCoate microbial technology, and applies ceramic based fabric protection to carpet, fabric mat surfaces, and certain fabric seats. The flagship Signature Coating requires the purchase of a paint correction package, and a two stage minor level correction may be recommended for the other coatings. The Prestige entry level coating starts at $1,500, the Luxe package with Aquatek Singular starts at $1,700, and the flagship Mirror Reflections Signature Coating with Revolution by CCI starts at $2,200, with the vehicle usually needed for at least 3 days. Headlight correction and coating and engine bay cleaning are offered from $150 as add ons to an exterior service. A free consultation and vehicle inspection are required before an estimate is given, a $200 non-refundable deposit is required for all services, and planning 2 weeks in advance is strongly recommended. Appointments can be arranged by calling (352) 215-9433.

FAQs
How long does a car detail take?
It most often ranges from one to five days, depending on the service, and occasionally special projects take even longer. A ceramic coating application, or even a dedicated paint sealant, is a far more meticulous process than a typical car wash or express detail, and polishing for paint correction is very time consuming.
What does a detail cost?
Starting prices are published so you have an idea of the investment in your vehicle. Exterior detailing starts at $600 for the Standard Exterior, $900 for 1 Stage Paint Correction, $1,200 for 2 Stage Minor Paint Correction, and $2,000 for 2 Stage Major Paint Correction. The Intensive Interior starts at $300. Ceramic coating upgrades start at $1,500 for the Prestige entry level coating, $1,700 for the Luxe package, and $2,200 for the flagship Signature Coating.
Do I need a consultation before booking?
Yes. A free consultation and vehicle inspection are required before an estimate is given, and a vehicle inspection and in person consultation are required prior to booking a detail. Please allow 30 minutes for the pre and post vehicle inspection.
Is a deposit required?
A $200 non-refundable deposit is required for all auto detailing services. The business works by appointment only and strongly recommends planning about 2 weeks in advance.
What affects the price of a quote?
For exterior detailing, the size of the vehicle and often more importantly its curvature, which affects polishing, are factors in the quoted price. For interior detailing, the amount and variety of dirt and grime matter, and the presence and amount of dog hair is also a significant factor.
Do you only detail luxury and exotic vehicles?
No. Mirror Reflections Auto Spa has detailed a variety of cars from daily driven models to luxury and exotic ones. What makes it a luxury service provider is the time, attention to detail, and choice of premium products used, not the car you drive.
What certifications does the detailer hold?
The detailer is a graduate of the Esoteric Elite Detailer Academy ceramic coating course, holds an accreditation with Aquatek Coatings and Ceramic Coating Inc, and is a member of both the Organization Of Certified Professional Detailers and The International Detailing Association.
Do you need a garage for the work?
An adequate shelter, meaning the vehicle is garage kept, is needed for most services.
