What you're paying for

What full detail actually is

A full detail is interior + exterior packaged together — the most common request when a car has gone a year without attention or you're prepping for resale.

What's included: foam pre-treatment, clay-bar decontamination, hand wash, tire and trim dressing, sealant. Inside: hot-water extraction of carpets and seats, leather cleaning and conditioning, vent and crevice work, headliner spot-treatment, glass cleaning.

The full detail is also the standard pre-sale and lease-return service. A $250–$400 full detail can offset a $400+ excessive-wear charge on a lease and add $500–$1,500 to a used-car sale price.

Pricing FAQ

Full Detail cost — FAQ

What's the difference between a full detail and a wash?

A wash is 30–60 minutes of exterior cleaning. A full detail is 4–6 hours of interior + exterior + decontamination + sealant. Different jobs entirely.

How often should I get a full detail?

Twice a year is the standard recommendation for most cars. Once for spring, once for fall. Family cars benefit from quarterly bookings; garaged commuters can stretch to once a year.

Will a full detail add value when I sell?

Yes. CarMax appraisers, private buyers, and used-car dealers all factor presentation. A $300 full detail commonly adds $500–$1,500 to the sale price of a 5-year-old car.

What's not included in a full detail?

Paint correction (separate service), ceramic coating (separate), engine bay degreasing (often an add-on), and biohazard remediation (separate). Most details cover everything else.
