Full Detail — Exterior + Interior at freshcardetail studio

The Service

What Full Detail actually is.

A full detail is the professional baseline. It begins with a pre-rinse and snow-foam pre-wash to lift loose contamination before any contact, followed by a safe two-bucket hand wash. The exterior then goes through a decontamination stage — iron fallout remover, tar remover, and a clay bar pass — to eliminate embedded contaminants that washing alone cannot remove.

The interior receives a full vacuum, surface wipe-down, and steam or wet-vac extraction for seats, carpet and floor mats. Every door pocket, trim panel and dashboard surface is cleaned. The result is a vehicle that is genuinely clean, not just rinsed.

Is This Right for You?

Is this service right for your car?

If your car hasn't had a proper professional clean in the last 12 months — or ever — this is the starting point. It's also the required first stage before any paint correction or ceramic coating: we will not apply a correction polish or protection layer to paint that hasn't been properly decontaminated.

If you've just bought a used vehicle, are preparing for a sale, or simply want to return the car to a condition it hasn't been in since new, the full detail is where that work begins.

The Process

How Full Detail works.

Pre-rinse & snow-foam

A pressure rinse followed by snow foam dwell time loosens surface contamination before any contact is made. This is how paint marring from washing is prevented.

Two-bucket hand wash

Wash mitt in one bucket, rinse water in the other. The two-bucket method keeps the wash media clean throughout and prevents reintroducing grit to the paint surface.

Chemical decontamination

Iron fallout remover and tar remover are applied to the paint to chemically dissolve embedded ferrous and petrochemical deposits that survive a standard wash.

Clay bar decontamination

A detailing clay bar is worked across lubricated paint to mechanically lift bonded contamination. The surface should feel smooth — not rough — when decontamination is complete.

Interior extraction

Vacuum, surface wipe, and steam or wet-vac extraction across all interior surfaces. Every vent, pocket and trim panel is addressed.

The Products

Professional-grade products only.

We use the same products on client vehicles that we teach with in the Academy — professional-grade chemicals and tools that perform correctly and consistently. No consumer shortcuts, no mixing brands for margin.

Common questions

How long does a full detail take?

A standard full detail takes a full day — approximately 6–8 hours. We ask you to drop off your vehicle in the morning and collect in the afternoon or the following day. If the interior condition requires additional time, we will contact you before proceeding.

Is a full detail the same as a valet?

No. A professional detail differs from a valet in the process, the products, and the time given. A typical valet uses automated wash equipment and quick-dry products. A full detail uses a documented safe-wash process, chemical decontamination, and professional extraction equipment. The result is significantly different — particularly on older or neglected vehicles.

Do you apply any protection after the full detail?

The full detail is a cleaning and decontamination service, not a protection service. It prepares the paint for protection but does not include any coating or wax. If you want protection applied, we recommend adding a ceramic coating or at minimum a paint sealant — ask us about combining the two services.

Can I book a full detail as preparation before selling my car?

Yes — this is one of the most common reasons clients book a full detail. A professionally cleaned vehicle presents better in photographs and in person. For a vehicle being sold, a full detail is a better investment than a quick valet, and we can provide a summary of the work completed if useful for the listing.

What if the interior is heavily soiled?

We will assess the interior when the vehicle arrives and confirm whether additional time or specific treatments are required before we proceed. Heavily soiled interiors — deep pet-hair removal, stain treatment, leather conditioning — may require additional time and are priced accordingly. You are never charged more than what we agree before the work begins.
