Services

What is included in a full interior detail?

Our full interior detail includes deep cleaning of carpets, seats, mats, dashboard, center console, vents, and more. We use air compressors and professional extractors. Learn more on our Interior Cleaning page.

How long does a full interior detail take?

On average, 3 to 6 hours depending on the size and condition of the vehicle. Most details are done the same day. Vehicles dropped off after 1 PM will be ready for pickup the next day to ensure quality. See our guide to how long car detailing takes.

What's the difference between Full Interior and Essential Interior?

Essential Interior is a surface level cleaning, great for vehicles that just need a general vacuum and wipe down. Full Interior includes deep shampooing and professional extraction. If your car has stains or pet hair, we recommend the Full Interior for best results.

I have stains and pet hair in my vehicle. Can I still book the Essential Interior?

We recommend choosing our Full Interior Detail for best results. The Essential Interior is designed for vehicles that just need a general vacuum and wipe down. It doesn't include shampooing of seats and carpets, extraction, or pet hair removal. If you book an Essential Interior with heavy stains and pet hair, the results will be pretty limited and those issues will likely still be visible after we're done.

Do you shampoo seats?

Yes. All carpet and fabric seats are shampooed during full interior details.

Do you clean leather?

Yes, leather seats are cleaned and conditioned by hand using safe products.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes. Light pet hair removal is included with the Full Interior and Full Inside and Out. The Essential Interior and Essential Inside and Out don't include pet hair removal, so with those it's an add on starting at $40. Heavier or embedded pet hair is an add on starting at $40 with any package. The price goes up from there depending on how much hair there is and how much of it you'd like removed.

Do you clean headliners?

Yes, we lightly clean headliners if they're not sagging or sensitive to damage.

Do you clean baby car seats?

Yes, as long as they're uninstalled. We don't uninstall for liability reasons.

Do you clean the trunk?

Yes, trunks are vacuumed and wiped down as part of our interior detailing services.

Do you clean all glass?

Yes, interior and exterior glass is always included and cleaned streak free.

What if I have a 3rd row?

We detail vehicles with third row seating all the time! Our process is the same regardless of how big your vehicle is.

Do you offer hand waxing?

Yes. A hand wash and ceramic hand wax is included in both of our Inside and Out packages: the Essential Inside and Out (from $230) and the Full Inside and Out (from $310). Both include a clay bar treatment to smooth the paint before the wax goes on. Hand wash and wax is not sold on its own.

Can you clean the bugs on my bumper?

Yes, we clean and detail your front bumper as part of the hand wash in our Inside and Out packages. Sometimes, bugs can be embedded into the paint leaving permanent marks that can only be removed with polishing.

Do you clean engine bays?

Yes. Engine bay cleaning is an add on you can book with any detail package (it isn't sold on its own). We clean and dress the engine compartment to remove grease, dirt, and buildup. See our Engine Cleaning page for photos and details.

Do you restore headlights?

Yes. Headlight restoration is an add on you can book with any detail package. It brings cloudy, yellowed, oxidized headlights back to clear. See our Headlight Restoration page for before and after results.

Do you do buffing or paint correction?

No. We currently don't do paint correction or machine buffing. Our Inside and Out packages include a hand wash, clay bar treatment and a ceramic hand wax.

Do you offer ceramic coatings?

No, we don't offer ceramic coatings. Our Inside and Out packages include a ceramic infused hand wax that protects the paint and beads water. The wax is long lasting with the Essential Inside and Out, and longer lasting and more durable with the Full Inside and Out.
