One of the most common questions we get is simple: "Do I need the Essential or the Luxury detail?" The honest answer depends on your car's condition, not on how much you want to spend. Here's a clear breakdown of both so you can pick with confidence.
What Every Full Detail Includes
Both levels of our full detail cover inside and out in one visit, so you only clear your schedule once.
Interior: - Full vacuum of carpets, seats and trunk - Interior glass and mirrors cleaned streak-free - Door jambs wiped clean - Dashboard, console and door panels wiped down
Exterior: - Pre-rinse and pH-neutral foam hand wash - Wheels and tires decontaminated and dressed - Microfiber hand dry to prevent water spots - Spray wax sealant for gloss and protection
Essential Full Detail: The Maintenance Clean
Pricing depends on vehicle size. View the Full Detail package page for starting prices.
The Essential Full Detail is built for a well-kept vehicle that needs a thorough top-to-bottom refresh. It includes:
- Interior vacuum and surface wipe-down
- Glass, mirrors and door jambs cleaned
- Hand foam wash and wheel decontamination
- Spray wax sealant for paint protection
It's a good fit if: - Your car gets cleaned fairly regularly. - There are no major stains, odors or heavy pet hair. - The paint feels mostly smooth after a wash. - You want your car looking and feeling fresh again.
Luxury Full Detail: The Deep Restoration
Pricing depends on vehicle size. View the Full Detail package page for starting prices.
The Luxury Full Detail is designed for a vehicle that needs deeper cleaning and real paint decontamination. It includes everything in the Essential Full Detail, plus:
- Deep carpet steam extraction and stain treatment
- Leather deep clean and matte UV protection
- Clay bar decontamination and a longer-lasting sealant
It's a good fit if: - It's been a while since the car was properly cleaned. - There are stains, spills or odors in the carpet or upholstery. - You have leather seats that look dry or grimy. - The paint feels rough or gritty even after a wash, a sign of bonded contamination. - You've got kids, pets or lake-season sand worked into the cabin.
A Quick Way to Decide
Run your hand lightly over a clean section of paint. If it feels smooth, Essential may be enough on the outside. If it feels rough, clay bar decontamination will make a visible difference. Then look at the carpet: if it just needs a vacuum, Essential works. If there are stains or a smell, Luxury's steam extraction is the better choice.
We'll Help You Choose
You don't have to guess. We assess your vehicle before we start and recommend Essential or Luxury based on its real condition, not a one-size-fits-all package. If you'd like a recommendation ahead of time, send your vehicle details and a description of its condition through our quote form.
