Wash ≠ detail

Detailing is a longer, separate job

Ask products

Harsh chemicals damage coatings

A basic wash is exterior clean; detailing is a longer job with paint correction or ceramic coating — compare scope, not only the headline fee.

What to know

Types of wash

Jet wash (self-serve), automatic rollers, and hand wash. Rollers can mark soft tops and some wraps — ask staff.

Interior valet

Vacuum, plastics and glass. “Full valet” should list seats, carpets and boot. Photos help if you are leaving the car.

Environment

Responsible sites manage dirty water. Avoid washing on the street where runoff hits drains with detergent.
