What to Expect During a Full Car Detail

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Pre-Wash & Inspection

We start by evaluating your vehicle’s condition and identifying problem areas—swirls, oxidation, embedded dirt, or staining. This allows us to customize the detail to your specific car.

2. Foam Cannon Pre-Soak

Using a pH-balanced soap, we blanket the vehicle in foam to loosen dirt and lift contaminants from the surface without touching the paint.

3. Hand Wash & Two-Bucket Rinse

Gentle microfiber mitts ensure a swirl-free hand wash. The two-bucket method separates dirty rinse water from clean soap to prevent reintroducing grime to the paint.

4. Clay Bar Treatment

This decontamination step removes embedded contaminants such as tar, brake dust, and industrial fallout, prepping your paint for polishing or protection.

5. Paint Correction (Optional)

We machine polish to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation. Paint correction is key to restoring gloss and clarity, especially if you're considering a ceramic coating.

6. Interior Deep Cleaning

We steam clean carpets and mats, shampoo upholstery, condition leather, clean vents, dashboards, and crevices to restore a fresh and hygienic interior.

7. Trim, Wheels & Tire Detailing

Wheels are degreased and decontaminated, tires dressed, and trim treated to restore a factory-fresh appearance.

8. Ceramic Coating or Sealant (Optional)

To lock in your vehicle’s shine and protect it long-term, we offer wax, synthetic sealants, or our professional ceramic coating services.
