A full detail, inside and out

A pick-me-up for your vehicle with a strong focus on the interior. We clean every surface and use steam to get into the corners, and the outside gets a careful hand wash and a coat of spray wax.

Not sure which package you need? Start here.

  • Interior first

    Steam for vents, cup holders and the console, a full blow-out, and conditioned leather and trim.

  • By hand, no brushes

    Foam pre-wash, hand wash, wheels and fender liners, tire dressing and spray wax.

  • Done where you are

    At your home or work, with our own water and power. Or drop it off with us.

What’s included

Eight steps: four outside, four inside.

Exterior

    Foam bath

    A pre-treatment foam loosens road grime and salt before the hand wash, so it isn’t dragged across the paint.

  2. Photo: spray waxSpray wax bottle and yellow microfiber towel on a freshly washed blue-gray hood

    Spray wax

    A durable spray wax adds a deep gloss and protects your clear coat for about 6–8 weeks.

  3. Photo: tire dressingDressed tire and red-accented wheel on a black Ram TRX

    Tire dressing

    A deep-black, like-new finish that isn’t greasy and won’t sling onto your paint.

  4. Photo: clean wheelPolished wheel and red brake caliper on a blue BMW M4

    Wheels and brake dust

    Extra attention on wheels and fender liners, where grime and brake dust build up.

Interior

I had my interior detailed by Arvos Detailing and I couldn't be happier with the results. They did an amazing job from start to finish and paid attention to every little detail. Every surface was spotless, and they went above and beyond my …

Essential package FAQ

How long does the Essential take?

About 3 hours for most vehicles. Size and condition can add time.

Do you come to my home or work?

Yes. We bring the shop to you, at home or at work, and you don’t need to be there. You can also drop your vehicle off with us; you’ll get the address when you book.

Do I need to supply water or electricity?

No. Our van carries its own water and power, plus everything we need for the job.

Will it remove stains from my seats and carpet?

The Essential includes steam cleaning but not shampoo. For stains in carpet or cloth seats, the Executive Package adds shampoo and stain extraction, or you can book Interior Shampoo. Some deep or set-in stains may lighten but not fully disappear.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes. We clean, condition and protect leather to help prevent cracking and fading.

Is there an extra charge for pet hair or a very dirty vehicle?

Heavy pet hair starts at $20, depending on how much there is, because it takes extra tools and time to pull out of the carpet. Heavily soiled vehicles add $75 or more. We’ll tell you before we start.

Will it remove scratches or swirl marks?

No. Spray wax adds gloss and protection, but it doesn’t remove scratches. For swirls and light scratches, ask about Paint Correction (drop-off only).

How do I book, and is there a deposit?

Book online in a few taps. A 30% deposit holds your appointment, and if weather moves it, the deposit carries over. The rest is due when the job’s done. Booking, deposits and fees

What if I’m not happy with something?

Tell us within 5 days and we’ll come back and fix anything we missed. It covers the work you booked, not new dirt, weather or spills after we leave. What’s covered

How often should I get my vehicle detailed?

Usually twice a year, in spring and fall, to deal with spring pollen and winter road salt.
