Short answer
Should you add bug & tar removal in calgary?
Add bug & tar removal when the vehicle has highway and road-trip vehicles or bug-heavy front bumpers. Add-ons are confirmed after we review material type, severity, vehicle size, and the main package you choose.
- From $45
- Added to main package
- Mobile service
Bug splatter and tar cling to bumpers, mirrors, rocker panels, and lower doors. Left too long, they can stain or etch exterior surfaces.
This add-on gives those areas focused chemical dwell, gentle agitation, and careful removal before protection is applied.

FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers before you book.

How often should I detail my car during Alberta winter?
Service guide
During Alberta winter, plan for an interior detail every 4-6 weeks and an exterior wash + sealant every 2-3 weeks. Salt is corrosive — regular washing protects paint, and interior extraction lifts salt stains before they set permanently.
