A classic car is more than transport, and the way you clean it matters.
A classic car is more than transport, and the way you clean it matters. Old paint is thinner, chrome pits if neglected, and original interiors can crack or tear from rough handling. Auto Royale detailers visit your home or garage in Toronto to wash and care for your classic gently, without pressure washers, harsh chemicals or shortcuts that cost originality.
We begin by asking about the car. Is the paint original or repainted? Is it single-stage, where colour and clear are one layer? Are there rust bubbles or flaking spots? That tells us how much polish the paint can take and where to be light-handed. Washing is done with low water, soft mitts and plenty of lubrication.
Chrome and brightwork get a careful polish and protection, rubber seals are cleaned and conditioned, and the interior is vacuumed and wiped with products that suit vinyl, leather, wool carpet or cloth. Collectors near King West often keep their cars garaged most of the year, so we focus on dust, stale smells and the first-drive-of-spring clean.
We do not try to make an old car look new, because patina has value. The goal is a clean, protected, well-kept car that still looks like itself. Before a show, a photo shoot or a sale, we can add a wax for depth. Seasonal storage prep and a post-storage refresh are also easy to book.

Old Toronto is a mix of downtown condo towers with underground garages, semi-detached and row houses with no driveway at all, and leafy streets in areas like Leaside and the Annex where cars sit on permit street parking, so we plan around a garage level, a laneway or a curb spot rather than assuming a driveway.
Heavy road salt and slush from November through March leave white film on lower panels, wheel wells and carpet mats, especially on cars parked outside on the street. Spring brings pollen and tree sap, and the lake air and downtown construction dust settle on paint all year.
Driving a car across downtown to a shop means congestion on the Gardiner or DVP, expensive parking and a long wait without your vehicle. A mobile detailer works at your condo garage, office lot or curb, so the car stays where you live and work.
We regularly work in King West, Kensington Market and Discovery District, and every other part of Toronto.
