Automatic car wash
Fast and cheap. You drive through, and brushes or high-pressure jets clean the outside. It is great for a quick rinse, but it does not touch the interior, it can miss lower panels and wheels, and spinning brushes can leave fine swirl marks in your paint over time.
Mobile hand wash
A careful hand wash, done where your vehicle is parked. Our mobile car wash (Exterior Shine) includes the hand wash plus wheels, tires and tire shine, bug and tar removal, trim dressing, exterior glass and protective wax. It starts at $110.
Mobile detail
Detailing is cleaning with a goal: getting a vehicle as close to like-new as possible, inside and out. That means a full vacuum, cleaning every interior surface, conditioning leather and treating glass, plus options like carpet shampoo, steam cleaning, odor treatment, paint correction and ceramic coating. Our Complete Package starts at $210.

Which one do you need?
If it is just dusty, any wash will do. If the interior needs attention, there are stains, pet hair or odors, or you are getting the car ready to sell, book a detail. If you want it to stay clean without thinking about it, a Maintenance Plan handles it every month.
Questions
Is mobile detailing just a car wash at my house?
A mobile car wash (our Exterior Shine) is a hand wash with wheels, bug and tar removal, trim and wax. A mobile detail goes further, with a full interior clean and options like shampoo, steam cleaning, paint correction and ceramic coating.
How long does a mobile detail take?
Most services take 2 to 5 hours, depending on the package and your vehicle's size and condition. You do not have to wait around, because the work happens where your vehicle is parked.
Can I still use an automatic wash between details?
You can. A touchless wash is the gentler choice. Brush-style washes can leave swirl marks over time, which is what Paint Correction removes.
