Frequently asked questions

Products

Are Lab Auto Detail products safe for my vehicle?

Safety guided every formulation decision we made. Each product is developed for specific surfaces such as paint, wheels, glass, leather and fabric, and is safe for those surfaces when used as directed on the label.

Our shampoo is pH neutral and won't strip wax or ceramic coatings. For delicate or specialty finishes such as matte paint, vinyl wraps or aged leather, test on an inconspicuous area first. It's good practice with any detailing product, ours included.

Do I need to be a professional to get good results with your products?

Not at all. Our products are built to deliver professional results whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or picking up a detailing bottle for the first time. The formulations are effective and simple to use, so you can get a flawless finish with no prior experience.

Every bottle also carries a QR code that takes you straight to a tutorial for that specific product.

What's the difference between your products and the ones sold in big box stores?

Our products are built to deliver professional results, not just to fill a shelf. Every formula is carefully developed, tested and refined to protect your vehicle and bring out its best, unlike mass market products that often prioritize volume over performance. With Lab Auto Detail, every use delivers a flawless finish and a better detailing experience.

Are your products suitable for regular use without damaging paint or materials?

Yes. Our products are formulated for frequent use while preserving your paint and your interior and exterior surfaces. Used as directed, they clean, protect and enhance your vehicle for immaculate results every time.

Delivery & Returns

How long does shipping take?

Your order leaves our warehouse within 1 to 2 business days. After that, allow 1 to 3 business days in Quebec and Ontario, and 3 to 8 business days elsewhere in Canada. You'll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.

How much does shipping cost?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on the weight of your order and your destination. Orders over $99 before tax ship free.

Do you ship across Canada (and internationally)?

We ship anywhere in Canada. We don't deliver to P.O. boxes, so please give us a street address.

International shipping isn't available yet. Write to support@labautodetail.com and we'll let you know as soon as that changes.

What is your return and refund policy?

You have 30 days from delivery to return an unopened product for a refund. Return shipping is at your cost in that case.

If the product arrives damaged, defective or incorrect, we cover the return and you choose between a replacement or a refund.

Our products are cleaning chemicals, so we can't resell a bottle once the seal is broken. That's why opened products aren't eligible for a change-of-mind return.

What if my product arrives damaged or there's an error in my order?

Email support@labautodetail.com within 30 days of delivery with your order number and photos of the product and the outer box. We'll sort it out quickly, at our cost.

For damage that happened in transit, tell us as soon as you can. Carriers give us a limited window to file a claim.

When will I get my refund?

Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within 3-10 business days. Your bank may take a few extra days to post it.
