What full professional detailing actually includes
A real Full Detail goes beyond a thorough wash. The interior is shampooed and extracted (not just wiped) — carpet, upholstery, and floor mats. Dashboard, console, door panels, and trim are conditioned with a UV-protective treatment. Glass is cleaned inside and out. Exterior gets a hand-wash, clay-bar treatment for embedded contaminants, and hand-applied wax. Wheels are detailed and tires dressed.
Quick Detail vs Full Detail
Quick Detail is a focused freshen-up — typically interior wipe-down, vacuum, glass interior, exterior hand-wash. Faster (30-60 min) and walk-in. Full Detail is the comprehensive treatment described above and takes 2-4 hours by appointment.
When to detail (and when to just wash)
Detail when you want comprehensive treatment beyond what a wash provides — selling the car, end-of-season deep clean, post-trip rescue. Wash for routine maintenance every 1-2 weeks. The two are complementary, not substitutes.
