    Spencer taking time to clean the rims after washing the car and drying it off.
    Moke L.

    This was my first time having Soap Detailing clean my car and I will definitely use them again. Spencer showed up on time and was very knowledgeable and honest on car scratches and gave me the pros and cons of removing some dog scratches on my car. He could have easily sold me a car scratch removal service, which he also does, but he didn't. I used to wash and detail my previous car and I was super anal and a perfectionist about removing every single speck of dirt, bird poop and water drop. Spencer did all that for my car and I am super thankful he is very detail oriented. Spencer spent 1.5 hours on my car and did not cut any corners. Soap Detailing can take payment with either cash, credit, debit, Venmo or Zelle. It cost me $110 for Spencer to come to my house and perform a mini detail on my full sized SUV. And in case you're wondering, Spencer has his own water in his van to wash your car. I asked another mobile car wash service about getting my SUV washed and he was asking for $160-$175. So Soap Detailing's price is competitive with fantastic results. I am super happy with how clean my car looks now. Thank you so much, Spencer!

    Made an appointment the day before on their easy to use website and I got a response from Jared to confirm my appointment the next morning. Place is in a nice area easy address to follow. I haven't gotten my GR86 detailed for the two years I've had it and I got the wash and sauce special and my car looked brand new even better than the dealership showroom. For the price ,the work they do is amazing. I will be coming here monthly for maintenance washes , I 100% recommend these guys

    There so many great Mobil wash and detailing companies. But not to many that just do washing. I really appreciate Spencer: responsive ( pick up the phone, call you back or text you back) even though he is very busy and let you know when he is on his way. The most important part is that he did an awesome job on my car.

    Wow, Spencer did an amazing job on my car. I got the $50 wash and he did a super thorough clean inside & out! He did tell me that I will need to clay bar as there's lots of contaminants and from the looks of it I will definitely schedule with him again in a couple months for that. He came to my work place right on time as well. The one thing I love about his company is that you can schedule an appointment online which has a list of choices on what washes you need which makes it 100x easier and much more convenient. I haven't come across any mobile detailer/washer that does this.

    It had been a long while since my last car wash so I was on the lookout for a mobile detailer and found Soap Detailing. I ordered the "Wash and Sauce" for my Honda Accord. They arrived early and got started right away. The whole service took around 40 minutes and left my car looking fantastic inside and out. It has been a week since then and I still catch myself admiring the job well done!

    It's the little details that count. He organized and put away my cable. Aww.

    Friendly and fast service. Spencer left my car spotless!! He treated my car with care and like it was his own. I've taken my car to wash elsewhere and they've never removed the sticky residue left from a new car sticker. He removed it without me telling him. He even put away my iPhone cable. It's the little details that count!!

    Car turned out so nice and clean! We joke that it looks better than when we drove it off the lot. Soap Detailing was so professional and thorough with their job. Spencer also knocked down the price because he didn't think the car needed the extra service yet. Honest and overall easy experience with Soap Detailing! Thank you!

    I've got a new car, so I'm a bit paranoid about the paint getting scratched. Does this company use microfiber towels to wash the exteriors?

    Yes, all of our towels are Korean microfiber sourced from the rag company. We also use the two bucket method with grit guards on all washes.

    I rarely take my cars to get a car wash since I prefer to do it myself. However, when I do decide…read moreto let someone else do the job, I only go to Ultimate Custom Car Care. It has been over a decade since I've been coming to this place for my car washes and ceramic coating. They do a solid job and the prices are good for the quality you get. Everyone here is friendly and efficient. Steve, the owner, is great to work with and used to man the front of the house here. However, I've noticed that he's not always here and he has someone else taking care of the phone calls and checking in. All in all, great service from everyone. Prices are up-to-date on their website, which I appreciate. They have a really small area to park your car into their garage for the wash, so be mindful of the limited space when you come during busy times.

    My girlfriend comes here regularly to get her car cleaned, and since I hadn't had mine…read moreprofessionally cleaned in a couple of years, I was actually really excited to try it out. First thing to note--this place is easy to miss. I embarrassingly drove right past the entrance the first time because it's a pretty small opening and hard to spot if you're going even a little fast. Had to loop around the block and try again. Also, there's only space for about two cars to queue before you're basically spilling into the street. My girlfriend and I parked one behind the other, and honestly, another car behind us would've been halfway in the road. There is street parking nearby though if their little alcove is full. When we pulled in, there was a ton of activity--cars constantly moving through, getting cleaned, etc.--so it's clearly a popular spot. My girlfriend mentioned there have been times she's come and had to leave because the line was backed up into the street, so I think we got pretty lucky timing-wise. Price-wise, I think it's solid. For an exterior wash + interior clean, it felt reasonable. Since we came together, I think they held our cars to finish around the same time, so it ended up taking about 1-1.5 hours. Honestly not bad, especially since there are a bunch of cafes and restaurants within walking distance if you want to kill time. They also have a really nice waiting area--I even saw someone working on their laptop, so I'm guessing they might have Wi-Fi too. Now... my one big issue. They threw away my parking sticker. You know those apartment gate stickers that automatically open the gate? I had mine on my dashboard (still on the original backing because I sometimes lend it to friends who watch my cats). I get that it might not have been in the usual spot, but it very clearly wasn't trash. What made it more confusing is that they didn't even fully clear out small trash in my car--there were still a couple random paper/sticker backing pieces left behind, so it's not like they were just tossing everything indiscriminately. Also, for context--my car was clean going in. I don't keep stuff in my car beyond a reusable grocery bag or my tennis bag sometimes, and this was one of the rare times I even had a little bit of trash. So I don't think this was a situation where my car was cluttered and something got accidentally swept up in a bigger cleanup. That part was honestly frustrating. Overall, I would come back because they did a good job cleaning the car and the price is fair--but I'd definitely make sure to remove anything remotely important beforehand so there's no confusion next time.

    I recently took my car to Unique Car Wash and Detailing and I am absolutely blown away by the…read moreresults. From the moment I pulled in, the team was friendly, professional, and genuinely passionate about what they do. First off, the attention to detail is unreal. I thought my car was "pretty clean" before -- I was wrong. They made it look BETTER than the day I drove it off the lot. The paint was glossy and smooth, the wheels were spotless, and somehow they even got rid of little interior stains I had completely given up on. Every surface inside felt fresh and restored without that overpowering chemical smell some places leave behind. What really stood out was how thorough they were. They didn't rush the job. They treated my car like it was their own -- carefully, meticulously, and with real pride. You can tell this isn't just a quick in-and-out wash spot; this is true detailing. Customer service was also top-tier. They explained the services clearly, didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Pricing felt more than fair for the level of quality and care they provide. If you're in Costa Mesa (or honestly anywhere nearby), do yourself a favor and bring your car here. Whether you need a quick refresh or a full detail transformation, this is the place. My car has never looked this good -- and I'll absolutely be back.

    I went to drop off my car. Initially went because I wanted the interior deep cleaned but exterior…read morejust a standard wash, but I got upsold to do a full interior and exterior wash + detail for $185, then was provided a discount on this price. Picked up the car and didn't think anything of it, didn't inspect the paint too closely because I assumed by the high reviews I'd be fine and taken care of. After going to fill gas at Costco the next day, under their great lighting, I noticed that my paint had swirls in it. Then I opened the gas cap and saw layer of dirt on the cap area. I've only had the car washed twice in its life (new car) and it was both done by Unique Car Wash, so there's no way it was done elsewhere, and even if it was, a wax should have taken care of the swirls by filling the scratches. This is probably the result of the place not doing a proper 2 step wash, using dirty microfiber towels and not even waxing the car. Other places offered the same service for $150 and offer claybar, wax, and other services. So I paid for a high end service, received a mediocre interior and exterior cleaning, and swirls in my paint. Don't recommend going here if you actually care about your cars paint, and if you want quality work done for a good price. Might as well take it to a drive through wash.
