You should get one too!
As a mom of two who works full-time from home, I always find it challenging to juggle everything that life throws at me. My car is no exception, and after three years of ownership, it desperately needed professional cleaning.
My car had become a veritable disaster zone with two kids, including a messy toddler. While I do know how to clean it, with everything on my plate, I just didn’t have the energy to do it. Plus, I thought, “Why not treat yourself, Kim?” So, I decided to try out a mobile car detailing service and see if it could make my life easier. If you’re considering booking a mobile car detail service, you can easily google “mobile detail service” to find one that will come to you. And keep reading for details about my experience with AquaKingz Auto Spa- Long Island Mobile Car Wash & Auto Detailing. With Mother’s Day approaching, it’s also a great gift idea for a mom in your life.

What is a Mobile Car Detailing Service?
A mobile car detailing service is a professional car washing and cleaning service that comes to you, whether it’s your home or office. The service offers a complete car cleaning solution that includes exterior washing, waxing, and polishing, as well as interior detailing that includes deep cleaning, vacuuming, and polishing of various surfaces such as the dashboard, windows, door panels, and seats. Unlike traditional car wash services, a mobile car detailing service provides a more thorough cleaning of your car.

Why I Chose to Have Mobile Car Detailing Service
As a busy mom, I had no time to take my car to a traditional car wash or detailing center. So, the idea of a mobile car detailing service that could come to my home and clean my car was incredibly appealing. Additionally, after three years of owning my Acura RDX, I had never had it professionally cleaned, and it was in dire need of a deep clean. I chose a local Black-owned mobile car wash, AquaKingz Auto Spa.

My Experience with AquaKingz Auto Spa- Long Island Mobile Car Wash & Auto Detailing
I found AquaKingz Auto Spa- Long Island Mobile Car Wash & Auto Detailing via a local Facebook group. The company had excellent reviews, so I decided to give them a try. I booked the Mini Detail package for $124.99. The Mini Detail package includes:
- foam soap wash
- thorough cleaning of rims and tires
- deep vacuuming
- polishing of the dashboard
- center console
- door panels
Marlow, the owner of AquaKingz, was accommodating and called to reschedule our appointment when it rained on the original date.
On the day of the appointment, Marlow and his associate arrived at my home in a van loaded with all their equipment and got to work. They were friendly and professional and worked diligently for about two hours until my car looked brand new. They deep-cleaned every nook and cranny, removing all the stains and vacuuming up every last crumb. I was blown away by the results, and my car looked and smelled amazing. Even my oldest daughter was impressed. “Wow! It is so clean, and it smells good,” she said. Hopefully she’ll help to keep it that way.

Why Mobile Car Detailing Makes the Perfect Gift for Busy Moms – And How It Can Simplify Their Lives
If you’re a busy mom or know one, a mobile car detail service would make an excellent gift. Here’s why:
- Moms spend more time in their cars: I can attest to the fact that I spend a lot of time in my car. Between school drop-offs, pick-ups, running errands, and everything else in between, my car is practically my second home. However, with kids, it’s easy for your car to get dirty and disorganized quickly. A mobile car detailing service can help get your car back to its pre-kid state, making it a comfortable and enjoyable place to spend time in.
- Mobile car wash services are convenient: Convenience is always a top priority. With mobile car detailing services, you don’t have to worry about dropping your car off and waiting for it to be cleaned. Instead, the professionals will come to you and clean your car on-site while you take care of other important tasks. This means that you can have a clean car without sacrificing any of your precious time.
- One less thing for you to do: As a mom, there is always something to do, and cleaning the car is usually at the bottom of the list. By booking a mobile car wash, you’re taking one thing off her plate and allowing her to focus on other priorities.
- Mobile car detailing is an act of service: If your mom’s love language is an act of service, then mobile car detailing is the perfect gift for her. It shows that you care about her and want to make her life easier by taking one thing off her plate. Plus, it’s a gift that keeps on giving, as she’ll be able to enjoy a clean car for weeks to come.
