What is a vane?

A one tap question you place anywhere on your website.

    It's intended to be quick, fun and interesting.

    Live in your dashboard: to fix problems early, plan the menu, and publish numbers worth quoting.

Detailing poll questions to steal

Questions people actually answer.

Paste these into the builder or swap in your own packages. Every argument in a car forum belongs on your booking page.

Engage visitors

Your site talks with customers instead of at them, and they come back to see how everyone voted.

Run a better shop

Real answers on the menu, prices and hours, from the people who pay for them.

Get cited by search and AI

Original numbers only you have, the kind Google and AI answers quote.

Protect your reviews

Hear about a rough visit while you can still fix it, and know what people love.

Proof beats another before and after

Every detailer posts the same photos. A verdict from hundreds of car owners on your actual finish is proof of a different kind, and it converts the people who cannot tell good work from a cheap valet.

Where should it go on a detailing business website?

The right format for every part of your site.

The best spots are the gallery, the packages page, the ceramic coating page, the booking confirmation, and the aftercare guide.

Common questions

What owners ask us.

How do car detailers justify premium prices?

Let customers judge the work and price it themselves. A gut call on your actual finish, plus a public number for what people expect a full detail to cost, does more than another before and after gallery.

What should a detailing website have besides photos?

The arguments owners are already having: whether ceramic coating is worth it, what machine washes do to paint. Publishing honest answers separates you from upsell-driven competitors.

Does being honest about coatings lose sales?

It reliably wins better ones. A split public result on ceramic coating, with a tariff-dependent explanation, positions you as the detailer who is not just selling the highest margin item.

Do customers need an account?

No. One anonymous tap, which is why enthusiasts happily vote from a forum link.
