The owner, Keegan, is Victoria born and raised and is no stranger to the rainforest, I'm often seen dancing to my music, in the pouring rain to keep warm with a big smile on my face, remaining efficient of course. Yes, most services are fine to work in the rain while others like exterior wax/ polish may be rescheduled.
Do you clean engine bays?
Yes. Engine bay detailing is available as an add-on service for $99 with Royalty Rinse Victoria. We use a careful, low-pressure process with proper degreasers to safely clean and restore the engine bay without causing damage, to any electrical components, alternator, battery etc. by waterproofing beforehand.
Can detailing remove scratches?
Detailing removes dirt, buildup, and minor surface imperfections. Light swirls and haze can be improved, but deeper scratches typically require machine polishing or paint correction services for proper removal.
Do you detail trucks, vans, and larger vehicles?
Yes. We service trucks, SUVs, vans, and larger vehicles, including work vehicles and fleet units such as RV's Semi-Trucks, Mailvans, etc. Pricing is adjusted based on size, condition, and scope of work. Please reach out to 250-882-2782 or fill out our contact form with details of your situation, - Keegan :)
Is ceramic spray or coating worth it?
Yes, ceramic protection can help, but the real results come from proper paint preparation first. A full exterior detail with a deep wash, iron decontamination, and clay bar treatment removes embedded contaminants that most people don’t realize are sitting in their paint. From there, a hand wax or polish restores gloss, smoothness, and protection that actually lasts. Without that prep work, any protection won’t bond properly or perform the way it should. If you want your vehicle to truly shine and stay cleaner longer, the prep and finish matter more than anything.
How often should I get my car detailed?
For most vehicles, a full detail every 3 to 6 months is recommended. Regular maintenance helps preserve your vehicle’s appearance, protect interior materials, and maintain resale value. Having a clean interior is also proven to potentially reduce anxiety and elevate moods/ declutter thoughts.
Is tax included in your pricing?
No, we do not add tax into our service pricing. All sales + tax
