Interior Detailing vs. Deep Interior Detailing: What's the Difference?
Both clean your cabin, but they are built for different levels of mess. Here is how to choose.
Two levels of interior cleaning
A standard interior detail is maintenance: it brings a reasonably kept car back to clean. A deep interior detail is restoration: it targets stains, ground-in dirt and lingering smells.
What a standard interior detail covers
Our Signature Interior ($149) focuses on:
- Thorough vacuuming of seats, carpets and mats
- Wiping down dashboard, console, door panels and vents
- Cleaning interior glass and screens
- Light spot cleaning
It is a good fit if you get your car cleaned regularly and there are no major stains.
What a deep interior detail adds
Deep Interior Restoration ($199) goes further:
- Shampoo and hot-water extraction of carpets and cloth seats
- Leather cleaning and conditioning
- Interior steam treatment for vents, seams and hard-to-reach areas
- Attention to stains, spills and built-up grime
Which should you choose?
Choose standard interior if…
- Your car is cleaned every few months
- You mainly need dust and crumbs removed
Choose deep interior if…
- It has been a long time since the last detail
- You have kids, pets or visible stains
- You are selling the car or just bought a used one
Some situations need an add-on on top: Pet Hair Removal, Strong Odor Treatment or Heavy Water Extraction.
