How Does Car Detailing Differ From a Regular Car Wash?

A regular car wash is a quick clean, but car detailing is a full transformation. At a car wash, we rinse off surface dirt and maybe run your car through a machine or do a basic hand wash. It’s fast, but it doesn’t go deep. Detailing, on the other hand, involves careful, hands-on work inside and out. We clean, polish, and protect every surface—removing embedded grime, restoring paintwork, conditioning leather, and leaving every corner spotless. It’s about precision, care, and long-term results. Detailing protects your investment and brings out your car’s true beauty.

How Long Does a Car Detail Take?

How long a car detail takes depends on the vehicle’s condition and the level of service chosen. On average, a full detail can take anywhere from 2 to 6 hours. That’s because we don’t rush—we focus on quality and precision. Every inch of your vehicle, from the wheels and windows to the seats and carpets, gets our full attention. A quick wash might take 15 minutes, but detailing is about restoring, protecting, and making your car feel like new again. Larger vehicles or heavily soiled interiors may take longer, but the results are always worth it.
