Interior Detailing Before and After

Here's what a real interior detail looks like. Our Full Interior Detail, from $260 for a coupe or sedan, shampoos and extracts the seats, carpets and mats, treats stains and cleans every surface. If a thorough vacuum and wipe-down will do it, the Essential Interior starts at $190.

Will every stain come out? Most do. Some old or set-in stains only lighten, depending on what it was, how long it's been there and what it soaked into. We'll always be straight with you about what to expect.

Pet Hair Removal Before and After

Dog hair weaves itself into carpet and seat fabric, so it takes more than a quick vacuum. Pet hair removal is an add-on from $40, depending on how much hair there is and how much you'd like removed. The Full Interior includes light pet hair, and the Essential Interior includes none.

Headlight Restoration Before and After

Foggy, yellow headlights get wet sanded and sealed with a ceramic coating, so they're clear again. Headlight restoration is a $50 add-on to any package, adds about 30 to 45 minutes and lasts over a year.

Before and After Questions We Get a Lot

Are these photos of real customer cars?

Yes. Every before and after on this page is a real customer car we detailed at our shop at 2043 O St in Lincoln. No stock photos.

Will my car look like this after a detail?

Most cars do. Results depend on what your car is dealing with. Most stains come out completely, but some old or set-in stains only lighten. We'll always be straight with you about what to expect.

Which package gets results like these?

If your seats or carpets need more than a vacuum, book the Full Interior. If a thorough vacuum and wipe-down will do it, the Essential Interior is all you need. Want the outside done too? Pick the matching Inside and Out package.
