Our Services
For those who demand an impeccable finish—whether for a distinguished event, special occasion, or a refined evening drive—this exterior service delivers a level of care your vehicle deserves.
Each vehicle undergoes a meticulous decontamination process, followed by a carefully executed pre-wash designed to safely lift and remove all surface impurities. A pH-balanced hand wash then ensures a flawless, swirl-free cleanse, preserving the integrity of your paintwork. To complete the experience, a professional-grade sealant is applied, enhancing depth, clarity, and delivering a smooth, glass-like finish with lasting protection.
Attention extends beyond the paint. Tires are thoroughly cleansed and detailed to restore a rich, like-new appearance, finished with a refined, non-greasy dressing that complements the vehicle’s overall presentation.
Designed for clients who expect more than standard detailing, our Ceramic Coating package is a long-term investment in both the appearance and preservation of your vehicle.
Each application begins with an intensive preparation process, including full decontamination and paint refinement, ensuring the surface is perfected and the coating bonds flawlessly for maximum performance and longevity.
A professional-grade ceramic coating is then meticulously applied, forming a hardened, ultra-durable layer that protects against UV damage, environmental contaminants, and daily wear. Unlike temporary solutions, this is a semi-permanent protection system designed to last for years.
The result is immediate and lasting—enhanced depth, sharper reflections, and a rich, liquid-glass finish. With advanced hydrophobic properties, your vehicle stays cleaner longer while maintaining a consistently elevated appearance.

For vehicles requiring a more extensive level of paint refinement prior to ceramic coating application, additional paint correction services may be recommended to achieve the highest standard of finish.
This package is designed to restore your vehicle to a pristine, like-new condition. The exterior is treated to our signature express wash, with elevated attention given to intricate areas such as crevices, wheel wells, and door jambs.
After a deep cleanse the vehicle is finished with a professional-grade sealant or wax, producing a deep, high-gloss appearance. This further protects the integrity of your paint, protecting it against the harsh Chicagoland elements.
Inside, the cabin is meticulously cleaned, carefully detailed, and thoroughly vacuumed to remove all accumulated dirt and debris. Where others overlook the finer details, Obsidian ensures every reachable surface is thoughtfully refined, delivering a truly elevated finish.

For enhanced gloss and color depth, a polish is highly recommended to remove minor surface imperfections and allow the protectants to bond better with the paint.
Often overlooked, the engine bay is a defining part of your vehicle’s overall presentation. Our engine detail service restores this space to a clean, refined condition through a careful and controlled process designed to safely remove built-up grime and residue.
Each surface is thoughtfully cleaned and finished to a natural, like-new appearance—never overdone, always precise. The result is an engine bay that reflects the same level of care as the rest of your vehicle, elevating its overall presence and attention to detail.
At Obsidian, even what isn’t immediately seen is held to a higher standard.
This package was thoughtfully designed for vehicles maintained to the highest standard, including those showcased at automotive events, exhibitions, and private collections.
Our two-stage paint correction is a precision-driven refinement process designed to restore the true depth, clarity, and richness of your vehicle’s finish. The process begins with a carefully selected cutting stage, utilizing the least aggressive combination of compounds and pads necessary to safely achieve the desired level of correction.
Once deeper imperfections have been corrected, the finish is meticulously refined using premium polishing compounds and pads to further eliminate finer blemishes while enhancing the paint’s depth and clarity. Through carefully controlled polishing techniques and the use of professional-grade lighting, the true richness, reflectivity, and like-new appearance of the paint are restored.
The result is a dramatically enhanced finish with exceptional gloss, sharper reflections, and a deep, refined appearance worthy of the Obsidian standard.

As a dog handler, I understand the bond between you and your K9—your vehicle isn’t just transportation, it’s part of that shared experience. With that companionship, however, comes the inevitable challenge of pet hair embedded deep within your vehicle’s interior.
Our pet hair removal service is designed to meticulously extract stubborn hair from carpets, upholstery, and hard-to-reach areas using specialized tools and techniques. No surface is overlooked, restoring your interior to a clean, refined condition without compromising comfort.
At Obsidian Detailing, we don’t just clean vehicles—we understand the lifestyle behind them. This service ensures you can continue bringing your companion along for the ride, without sacrificing the elevated standard your vehicle deserves.
Final pricing is determined by vehicle size and the extent of pet hair accumulation.
Want to elevate your vehicle’s paint finish? Our one-stage paint correction minimizes light imperfections such as swirl marks, minor scratches, and surface haze.
Through carefully executed polishing techniques, the paint is gently enhanced to restore clarity, depth, and gloss—revealing a smoother, more uniform surface. This process significantly improves the overall appearance while maintaining the integrity of your vehicle’s paint.
The result is a noticeably enriched finish with heightened reflectivity and depth, delivering a clean, polished, and refined gloss. The refined finish is then protected with a premium sealant or wax, preserving the depth, gloss, and integrity of your newly revitalized paint.

All materials—from carpets and upholstery to leather, plastics, and trim—are carefully cleaned, conditioned, and revitalized using professional-grade products and precise techniques. Attention is given to every detail, ensuring even the most overlooked areas are addressed with care.
The result is a clean, composed interior that not only looks exceptional, but feels renewed—restoring comfort and refinement after the wear of a harsh Chicagoland winter.
For vehicles requiring a more intensive level of interior restoration, including steam treatment and sanitization services, an additional charge of $50 may apply.
