04 //The short version

Inside and out, back to day one.

Detailing here is not the same job it is on the mainland. Volcanic dust, salt film and vog residue land on a vehicle constantly, and the sun bakes them onto hot panels. The result is paint that goes dull faster and interiors that age faster than the mileage suggests.

Our work runs from an express refresh through a full inside-out service to genuine paint correction β€” a one-step to remove haze and light swirls, or a two-step where the paint needs more. Correction is also the right first move before a ceramic coating: a coating locks in whatever condition the paint is in, so it makes sense to fix it first.

The other half of the job is stopping the damage recurring, which is mostly about how the vehicle gets washed. Most swirl marks come from washing rather than driving, and wiping volcanic dust off a dry panel is the single most damaging thing you can do to paint on this island.

Why it matters here

What Kona does to your vehicle.

Island-specific reasons this service earns its place, rather than a generic list of benefits.

Dust that scratches

Volcanic cinder is sharp and does not round off. Wiped off a dry panel it acts like a scouring pad, which is where a great deal of the swirl damage we correct actually comes from.

Interiors age first

Extreme year-round UV cracks dashboards, bleaches upholstery and hazes trim. Interior protection and a UV-blocking film together are what keep a three-year-old vehicle from looking five.

Salt and vog film

A coastal, downwind location means a film of salt and vog residue settles on anything parked outdoors. Regular proper washing is the fix β€” and a maintenance plan is simply that, done correctly.

Packages

Pick a starting point.

Detailing prices depend on vehicle size and current condition. If the paint needs correction we will tell you which step level it actually needs rather than selling you the bigger one.

How it works

What the job looks like.

  1. 01 //

    Walk-around

    We check the paint, interior and any trouble spots with you before we start.

  2. 02 //

    Interior first

    Steam, extraction and conditioners, panel by panel.

  3. 03 //

    Exterior

    Hand wash, decon and the correction level you chose.

  4. 04 //

    Protect

    Sealant or coating so the results last past the drive home.

Beach sand and red dirt

Kona interiors collect fine sand and volcanic dust that grinds into carpet and seat seams. Extraction and steam pull it out; a vacuum alone never will.

Brett did an amazing job vinyl wrapping my van. From the graphic design to the complete install and finish. On point. I couldn't ask for anything better. I am definitely going back for future projects. πŸ€™πŸΎ Mahalo
