What's Included in a Full Car Detail?
A full car detail is designed for customers who want more than a basic wash or quick vacuum. It combines a deep interior refresh with a careful exterior detail to clean, protect, and improve the overall condition of your vehicle.
Interior Detailing
Full vacuum, wipe-down of surfaces, door panels, trim, cupholders, dashboard, and glass — addressing the buildup that accumulates from daily use.
Exterior Detailing
Hand wash, surface decontamination, wheel and tire cleaning, and wax protection to remove road grime and improve gloss.
Seat Shampooing & Stain Removal
Hot water extraction on cloth seats targets stains, spills, and embedded buildup. Leather seats are cleaned and conditioned separately.
Pet Hair Removal
We address pet hair from seats, carpets, and floor mats. Heavily embedded hair may require extraction — included based on vehicle condition.
Wheels, Tires & Door Jambs
Wheels are cleaned and decontaminated, tires are dressed, and door jambs are wiped down — areas that most basic washes skip.
Wax Protection & Paint Care
A wax coat adds a protective layer to the paint, improves gloss, and helps resist water and light contamination between details.
Interior Detailing That Goes Beyond a Basic Vacuum
Our interior detailing process targets the areas that collect daily grime, dust, spills, pet hair, and buildup. Depending on the vehicle condition, we clean seats, carpets, floor mats, plastics, trim, cupholders, door panels, glass, and high-touch areas to help restore a cleaner, fresher cabin.
San Francisco daily drivers and family cars often deal with built-up stains, pet hair, and odor-prone areas from constant use. Leather and vinyl surfaces get wiped down and conditioned. Cloth interiors get vacuumed and extracted where needed. Dashboard and center console get cleaned and protected.
We do not overstate results — we document condition before we start so you know what to expect before we begin.
Exterior Detailing for San Francisco Driving Conditions
San Francisco vehicles deal with fog, road film, brake dust, pollen, sap, and tight city parking conditions. Our exterior detailing process helps remove surface buildup, clean wheels and tires, improve gloss, and add protection where needed.
We start with a thorough hand wash to lift surface contamination, then address wheels, tires, and door jambs before applying wax protection to the paint. The result is a cleaner, better-protected vehicle without the risk of drive-through equipment contact.
For paint that needs more than surface cleaning — swirls, oxidation, or dull finish — ask about paint correction when you request a quote.
Is a Complete Auto Detail Right for Your Vehicle?
A full detail makes sense when a single service is not enough to address what the vehicle needs. Here are the most common situations where customers request one:
- Your car has not been detailed in months
- You want the inside and outside cleaned together
- You are preparing to sell the vehicle
- You have kids, pets, stains, or daily-driver buildup
- You want a cleaner, glossier vehicle without driving to a shop
- You want mobile detailing at your home, apartment, or workplace
