The Service

More than a wash. Less than a full reset.

The Basic Detail covers the places a quick wash skips. Beyond the hand wash and wheels, we vacuum the seats, carpets and trunk, clean the dash, console and door panels, do the interior windows, wipe the door jambs and clean light trim.

It suits a car that is in decent shape and just needs a proper clean. If you have stains, heavy pet hair or odors, the Interior Deep Detail or Premium Full Detail will be a better fit.

How We Work

The order matters.

We follow the same sequence on every Basic Detail at our Arlington shop, because skipped prep shows in the finish.

01

Check-in and walk-around

We look over the car with you and note problem areas, stains or anything you want left alone.

02

Wash and wheels

Hand wash, hand dry, then wheels and tires.

03

Interior vacuum and wipe-down

Seats, carpets and trunk are vacuumed, then every panel is wiped down.

04

Jambs, glass and trim

Door jambs, interior windows and light trim get cleaned, and tires are dressed.

05

Final inspection and pickup

We check the work under good light, then walk the car with you at pickup.

FAQ

Basic Detail Questions

What Arlington drivers ask us most.

What is the difference between Basic and Premium?

Basic is a thorough clean. Premium adds shampoo and extraction, leather conditioning, steam, clay, and wax or sealant.

How much is a Basic Detail?

$129 for a sedan and $159 for an SUV or truck.

How long will it take?

Plan on 1.5 to 2.5 hours.

Does it remove stains?

Light marks often come out with panel cleaning, but stains on seats or carpet need the shampoo add-on.
