Good to know

How much does professional car detailing cost?
Basic detailing packages start between $120 and $200 for sedans, covering thorough interior vacuuming and hand washing. Full-service packages including carpet steam extraction, paint correction, or ceramic sealants range from $250 to $600 based on vehicle size and condition.

How long does a full car detail take?
An interior or exterior-only package takes between 2 and 3 hours. Comprehensive full-vehicle detailing services generally require 4 to 6 hours, while paint correction and coating applications may require overnight curing.

What is the difference between a car wash and car detailing?
An automated or hand car wash cleans surface dirt from external panels in 5 to 15 minutes. Detailing is a restorative process that includes deep cleaning hidden crevices, steam-cleaning upholstery, polishing out clear coat scratches, and applying long-term surface protection.
