“That scratch wasn’t there before.

Every detailer hears it eventually. Scattered camera-roll photos and memory are not vehicle damage documentation. DetailProof turns the walk-around into a repeatable proof workflow — every photo, finding, signature, and report stays tied to the job.

Drag the line. See the difference.

Because DetailProof captures before and after photos from the same guided angles, the app lines them up for side-by-side comparison — so the transformation is obvious and the baseline is on record. Try it: drag the divider.

// Who it's for

Every kind of detailing business.

Solo mobile detailers, ceramic coating installers, paint correction studios, multi-bay shops, and dealership recon teams all run the same play: photo proof first, then the work.

U-01

Mobile detailing

Document vehicles in driveways, parking garages, and office lots — fully offline. Capture the record before you unroll a hose, and sync it when you're back on signal.

U-02

Ceramic coating & paint correction

High-dollar paint work deserves high-quality proof. Record swirls, etching, and prior damage before correction so the transformation — and the baseline — are undeniable.

Document damage before the job
U-03

Detail shops & teams

Give every tech the same intake process. Jobs are searchable by customer, plate, and status, so a manager can answer any question without hunting through phones.

Why signatures build trust
U-04

Dealership recon & fleet washing

Turn high-volume walk-arounds into consistent vehicle condition reports. Before-and-after photo sets keep recon accountability clear across every unit.

This is DetailProof's first-party product methodology, not a market study or usage benchmark. The goal is a clear, repeatable record that a detailer and customer can review.

  2. 2Capture guided before photos so high-risk areas are documented in the same order each time.

  4. 4Collect customer signoff and generate a branded PDF condition report.
// FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is a vehicle condition report?
A vehicle condition report is a documented record of a vehicle's visible condition at a specific time — photos, notes on existing damage, and a customer acknowledgment. Detailers create one before service so both sides share the same record of scratches, dents, chips, and stains that existed before work began.
Is DetailProof insurance?
No. DetailProof is not insurance, a warranty, or legal protection. It is a documentation tool that helps protect your business with organized photo proof, reviewed findings, and customer signatures.
Can I use DetailProof for mobile detailing?
Yes. DetailProof works completely offline and is designed for mobile detailers who work in customer driveways, parking lots, apartment garages, and dealerships. Jobs sync to the cloud when you're back online.
Does the AI confirm damage?
No — AI flags possible damage as an assist. It surfaces potential scratches, dents, chips, stains, and scuffs, and the detailer reviews and confirms every finding before it appears in the customer report.
Can customers sign on my phone?
Yes. Customers sign directly on your iPhone or iPad screen after reviewing the documented condition. The signature is timestamped and embedded into the final PDF report.
Can I export a PDF report?
Yes. Every job generates a branded, share-ready PDF vehicle condition report with photos, reviewed findings, your business details, the disclaimer, and the customer signature. Email it, text it, or save it.
Does DetailProof work offline?
Yes. Photo capture and the full job workflow run offline. When you sign in and reconnect, jobs, photos, and signatures sync securely to the cloud and across your devices.
Can I add my business branding to reports?
Yes. Set up your business profile once — name, logo area, contact details, and disclaimer — and every PDF condition report carries your branding automatically.
What devices does DetailProof support?
DetailProof runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later, and syncs jobs across your signed-in devices.
How much does DetailProof cost?
DetailProof Pro starts with a 7-day free trial, then costs $14.99 per month or $129.99 per year (about $10.83 per month). One plan includes everything: unlimited jobs, AI damage detection, branded PDF reports, and cloud sync.
