Detailing packages and pricing

Exterior from $149, interior from $189, both together from $250. Done by hand at 31425 US Highway 19 N by the people who work here.

The three packages

Every figure below is a starting price. What a vehicle actually needs decides the rest, and you are told that before any work begins.

  • Ultimate Detail

    Starting at $250

    Both details in one visit, which is the full reset. The car leaves in the condition people mean when they say they want it detailed rather than washed.

    • The interior detail and the exterior detail together
  • Interior Detail

    Starting at $189

    The cabin taken considerably further than a wash goes, for cars that carry kids, dogs, sand or a long commute.

    • Cabin work: seats, carpets, trim, glass and the console
  • Exterior Detail

    Starting at $149

    Paint, wheels and trim given real attention, well beyond a pass through the wash. The step up from a clean car to a sharp one.

    • Clay bar treatment
    • Full wash
    • Hand wax
    • Tire shine
    • Wheel shine
    • Dressing on exterior vinyl and plastic

Added to any of them

Both are quoted on the vehicle, not off a list, so ask for them by name when you call.

  • Hand wax

    Priced on the vehicle

    Wax worked into the paint by hand, panel by panel, not sprayed on at the end of a wash cycle. Included in the exterior detail, and available on its own.

  • Headlight restoration

    Priced on the vehicle

    Cloudy, yellowed or crazed lenses cleared up. Usually asked for alongside an exterior detail, because sun does both at the same rate.

Why every price starts with 'from'

A commuter car that has been vacuumed every couple of weeks and an SUV that has carried a wet dog to Honeymoon Island every weekend for three years are the same package on paper and nothing like the same job in the bay. Quoting both from one flat chart means one of them is being overcharged.

Describe the vehicle honestly on the phone and the number you are given is the number. Read the main detailing page first if you are not sure which service you are asking about.

Usually booked together

How often any of it is worth repeating depends on where the car sits and what it sits in. Two guides cover that: how often to wax and detail a car in Florida and what salt air does to a car if you park anywhere near the Gulf.

Current offers across the business are on the coupons page.
