Most people care more about the inside of the car than the outside, because that is the part they sit in every day. Pet hair, spilled coffee, kids, work boots, all of it comes out.
An interior detail is extraction, not tidying. Carpets and fabric seats get shampooed and then pulled back out with a hot water extractor, which is what actually removes what is soaked into the padding rather than pushing it further down.
Spraying something over a smell buys you a few days. Smoke, milk, pets and mildew all live in something physical, usually the carpet padding, the seat foam or the cabin air filter, and until that is dealt with the smell comes back every warm afternoon.
So the approach is to find and remove the source first, then treat the space. If a smell has been in a car for years we will tell you honestly what to expect rather than promise it will be gone.
An interior detail before you list a car is the highest return money you can spend on it. Buyers decide in the first ten seconds after they open the door, and photographs of a clean interior get more people to the driveway in the first place.
Same goes for a trade-in appraisal. A clean car reads as a maintained car, and that is worth real money on a number that gets decided in about two minutes.
Almost always, yes. Hair woven into carpet is slow work rather than impossible work. Very fine hair in older fabric seats is the hardest case and we will be straight with you about it.
A few hours with the windows cracked in decent weather, longer in cold or damp. We will tell you when it is safe to load kids and car seats back in.
We clean around and under them. Straps and harnesses we leave alone, because the manufacturers are specific about what can go on them and getting that wrong matters.
Yes. A full detail covers inside and out. This page is for when the inside is the whole problem.
Pet hair, a spill, a smell, or just years of daily driving. Tell us what we are walking into and we will price it honestly.
