What is a Detail?

A true detailer is a skilled professional who restores, protects, and enhances every surface of your vehicle using the right tools, products, and techniques. Unlike cheap car washes or mobile cleaners who cut corners, we focus on quality, precision, and long-lasting results — not just making it look good for a day.

What does a Typical Exterior Detail consist of with a real detailer?

A proper exterior detail is far more than just soap and water — it's a meticulous process designed to clean, correct, and protect your vehicle’s finish.

A Real Exterior Detail Includes:

  • Pre-rinse and foam soak to loosen dirt safely

  • Hand wash using the two-bucket method to avoid scratching the paint

  • Wheel and tire cleaning, including brake dust removal and tire shine

  • Bug, tar, and road grime removal from all surfaces

  • Clay bar treatment to remove bonded contaminants and restore smoothness (optional depending on package)

  • Paint decontamination (iron removal) to eliminate embedded particles. (optional depending on package)

  • Polishing to remove swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches (optional depending on package)

  • High-quality wax or sealant applied for shine and protection (optional depending on package)

  • Streak-free glass cleaning

  • Trim restoration and protection (if applicable)

  • Tire and plastic dressing for a clean, finished look

We don’t just wash your vehicle — we restore and protect it using pro-level tools, chemicals, and techniques that preserve your paint and make your ride look its absolute best.

What does a Typical Interior Detail Consist of with a Real Detailer?

A true interior detail goes far beyond a basic vacuum and wipe-down. At our shop, we treat your interior like a full restoration — not just a quick clean.

A Real Interior Detail Includes:

  • Deep vacuuming of carpets, seats, and all hard-to-reach areas (including under and between seats)

  • Shampooing and steam cleaning of fabric surfaces to remove stains, dirt, and odors

  • Leather cleaning and conditioning to restore softness and prevent cracking

  • Thorough cleaning of all surfaces — dashboard, center console, vents, door panels, and trim

  • Streak-free interior glass cleaning

  • Headliner spot cleaning (we don’t ignore the ceiling)

  • Odor neutralizing treatments — not just masking with cheap sprays (optional depending on package)

  • Attention to detail: cup holders, crevices, seat belts, buttons, and vents all get addressed

We use professional-grade products, soft brushes, air tools, and hot water extraction equipment to give your vehicle the level of care it truly needs.
