Car Detailing VS Car Cleaning

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
Car cleaning and car detailing aren’t the same thing. Cleaning is quick upkeep — it keeps the car presentable. Detailing digs deeper, restoring the inside and outside so the car feels brand-new again. Knowing the difference helps you choose the right service for your vehicle.
Detailing restores, cleaning maintains


FULL DETAILING CARE
Detailing is like a spa day for your car. We wash, polish, and protect the paint, then dive inside to clean every surface. Leather gets conditioned, cloth gets shampooed, plastics are treated — nothing is missed. Even the engine bay can be cleaned and dressed so every corner looks fresh.

Exterior vs Interior Cleaning
A basic cleaning takes care of surface dirt. Wash, dry, maybe a quick wipe-down inside. It’s simple and it works for routine upkeep. What it doesn’t do is remove swirls, deep stains, or odors. That’s where detailing takes over.
Cleaning is upkeep, detailing is restoration


The Backseat Challenge
Backseats take the most abuse — kids, pets, spills, crumbs. A detail here means vacuuming, stain removal, shampooing, leather conditioning if needed, and odor treatment. It’s a reset button for one of the toughest spots in your car.
