What is detailing?
Auto detailing is a deep clean and restoration of your car inside and out — well beyond a car wash. Interior detailing shampoos, steams and conditions every surface; exterior detailing decontaminates and polishes the paint. Paint correction goes further, machine-polishing away swirls and scratches to restore true gloss.
- 01Interior: vacuum, shampoo, steam, and condition all surfaces.
- 02Exterior: foam wash, clay decontamination, and dry.
- 03Polish or multi-stage correction to remove defects (as chosen).
- 04Protect with a sealant or coating and final inspection.
Price depends on the package (interior, exterior, or full), the vehicle's size and condition, and whether you add paint correction. A heavily soiled interior or a car needing multi-stage correction sits at the top of the range.

Detailing questions
What's the difference between a detail and a car wash?
A wash cleans the surface; a detail deep-cleans and restores every surface inside and out, often including decontamination and polishing.
What is paint correction?
Machine polishing that removes swirls, holograms and light scratches from the clear coat to restore genuine gloss — best done before a coating.
How often should I detail my car?
A full detail 2–4 times a year keeps most daily drivers in great shape; correction is a one-time reset done as needed.
Should I detail before a ceramic coating?
Yes — decontamination and correction are what make a coating look its best, since the coating seals in whatever condition the paint is in.
