Exterior steps
A proper full detail begins with a foam pre-wash to loosen grit, then a two-bucket hand wash to avoid swirl marks.
- Wheels, tires and wheel wells
- Iron and tar removal
- Clay bar decontamination
- Sealant or wax
- Glass and trim
Interior steps
Inside, every surface is cleaned — not just the obvious ones.
- Full vacuum including trunk and under seats
- Carpet and seat shampoo or leather care
- Steam cleaning of vents and crevices
- Dash and door panel UV protectant
- Interior glass and screens
How it differs from a car wash
A car wash removes surface dirt in minutes. A full detail restores and protects, taking several hours of hands-on work.
Common add-ons
Popular upgrades include headlight restoration, engine bay cleaning, odor removal, pet hair removal and ceramic coating.
Choosing a detailer
Ask for a written checklist, look at recent reviews, and confirm the business is insured. We provide all three.
