Car detailing

A hands-on clean that goes far past a car wash. Vacuum, shampoo and sanitise inside; wash, decontaminate and protect outside. Done indoors, with the lights, water and extraction gear to do it properly.

Perfect

Salt season leaves a mark. This removes it.

Ontario winters grind salt and slush into carpets and leave a film on paint. Hot extraction lifts salt lines out of the floor, steam and pH-neutral products reset the cabin, and a decontamination wash with wax or sealant brings the outside back.

Every quote lists what the package includes for your vehicle, including whether an exterior wash is part of it, so there are no surprises.

What is included

  • Interior vacuum and shampoo
  • Exterior wash, decontamination and wax
  • Interior wipe-down and sanitising
  • Glass, trim and wheels
  • Add-ons: engine bay, headlights, odour removal

How long

A basic detail takes two to four hours. Advanced or premium details run four to six hours depending on the vehicle and its condition.

Afterwards

Seats and carpets are dried before handover but can feel cool for a few hours. Keep a window cracked on the first drive if the interior was shampooed.

Good to know

Some staining and wear cannot be fully reversed. You are told what to expect before work starts.

Questions

Car Detailing
answered

Still unsure? Call +1 647 643 0187 or see all FAQs.

What is the difference between basic, advanced and premium?
Basic covers a thorough wash, vacuum and wipe-down. Advanced adds seat and carpet shampoo, leather conditioning and a decontamination wash outside. Premium is the full reset with steam cleaning, extraction, odour treatment, engine bay and a sealant or wax.
Do you offer mobile detailing?
No. Detailing is done in the studio on Atlantic Drive, where the lighting, water, power and extraction equipment are. You can wait, or drop the car and collect it later the same day.
Can you remove salt stains from carpet?
Yes. Salt lines come out with hot extraction and a dedicated salt remover, then the carpet is dried before handover.
Do you remove odours and pet hair?
Yes, odour elimination and deep interior cleaning are available within the detailing packages.
