What Is Included in a Full Detail?
Short answer: everything on both sides of the glass. A full detail = complete interior deep clean + complete exterior decontamination and protection. Here's our actual checklist.
Exterior
Two-bucket hand wash · wheels/tires/wells deep clean · iron + tar chemical decon · clay bar · hard-water spot treatment · paint sealant · exterior glass · trim restoration · door jambs.
Interior
Full vacuum (rails, trunk, crevices) · carpet + upholstery shampoo extraction · steam clean of vents, console, touchpoints · leather clean + condition · interior glass · odor treatment · final wipe-down of every surface.
What cheap "full details" skip
Chemical decontamination (wash-only), clay bar, extraction (spray-and-wipe instead), steam. If a "full detail" takes 90 minutes, it's a car wash with ambitions.
