Frequently Asked Questions About Car Detailing
What types of car detailing services are available?
Car detailing services include exterior detailing (wash, polish, wax), interior detailing (deep cleaning, conditioning), paint correction (scratch and swirl removal), ceramic coating (long-term protection), paint protection film (physical protection), window tinting, and mobile detailing. Specialty services cover boats, RVs, and motorcycles.
What is the difference between car washing and car detailing?
Car washing is a quick surface clean to remove dirt. Car detailing is a comprehensive, multi-step process that includes decontamination, paint correction, protective coatings, and deep interior cleaning. Detailing restores and protects your vehicle, while washing only cleans the surface.
How much does professional car detailing cost?
Basic exterior detailing typically costs $50-$150. Full interior and exterior packages range from $150-$350. Paint correction costs $300-$800 depending on severity. Ceramic coating ranges from $500-$2,500. Paint protection film can cost $1,500-$7,000 for full coverage.
How often should I get my car detailed?
We recommend professional detailing every 4-6 months for most vehicles. Cars parked outdoors, used for commuting, or in harsh climates may benefit from quarterly service. Maintain your detail with regular washing between professional services.
What is ceramic coating and is it worth it?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to paint, creating a durable protective layer lasting 2-10 years. It provides UV protection, chemical resistance, hydrophobic properties, and enhanced gloss. For most owners, the long-term protection and reduced maintenance make it a worthwhile investment.
Can mobile detailing provide the same quality as a shop?
Yes, professional mobile detailers use the same products and techniques as shops. For most services, results are identical. Some intensive services like multi-stage paint correction may be easier in controlled shop environments.
What To Know
Understanding Car Detailing Services
Car detailing is a full reset for your vehicle, not just a rinse. It combines deep cleaning, surface correction, and protective finishes to restore gloss, remove contamination, and protect against daily wear. Professional detailers use advanced tools and safe products that go far beyond what a standard wash can achieve.
Exterior vs Interior Detailing
Exterior detailing targets paint, glass, wheels, and trim. It usually includes a proper wash, decontamination, polishing, and a protective layer like wax or sealant. Interior detailing focuses on seats, carpets, dashboards, and hard-to-reach areas for a clean, conditioned cabin.
Paint Protection Options
The two premium options are ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF). Ceramic coating adds long-term gloss and hydrophobic protection. PPF is a clear barrier that absorbs rock chips and scratches. Many drivers combine both for maximum coverage.
Choosing the Right Service
The best service depends on your vehicle's condition, goals, and budget. Maintenance detailing every 4-6 months keeps things sharp. Paint correction and ceramic coating are long-term investments that improve appearance and reduce upkeep. Mobile detailing is a convenient option when you want premium results without visiting a shop.
