What's Included in a Professional Car Detail?
Professional detailing goes far beyond a standard wash. Here's exactly what Safari Car Wash includes—and why it delivers long-term value for your vehicle.
What's Included in a Professional Car Detail?
Car detailing is a comprehensive process designed to deep clean, protect, and restore your vehicle—inside and out. At Safari Car Wash, our detailing services are performed by trained professionals using specialized equipment and proven processes, not quick surface cleaning.
Understanding what's included helps you know exactly what you're paying for—and why professional detailing delivers far more value than a basic wash.
Exterior Detailing Typically Includes
Our exterior detailing focuses on safely cleaning and protecting your vehicle's exterior surfaces.
- Pre-rinse and surface-safe exterior wash
- Wheel and tire deep cleaning
- Removal of road film, grime, and buildup
- Paint-safe drying to prevent water spotting
- Application of wax or sealant (service dependent)
- Bug and tar removal as needed
- Headlight cleaning and restoration (when applicable)
This process helps restore gloss, protect paint, and maintain your vehicle's appearance over time.
Interior Detailing Typically Includes
Interior detailing goes far beyond vacuuming. Our process is designed to deep clean and refresh the cabin, where daily wear adds up quickly.
- Thorough vacuuming of carpets, seats, and floor mats
- Carpet shampoo and fabric seat shampoo to remove embedded dirt and odors
- Steam cleaning for leather seats (when applicable)
- Cleaning and detailing of dashboards, consoles, and interior trim
- Door jamb cleaning
- Interior window and mirror cleaning
The result is a cleaner, healthier interior that looks better and feels noticeably fresher.
Why Professional Detailing Is Different from a Wash
A standard wash focuses on removing surface dirt. Professional detailing focuses on restoration, protection, and longevity.
Professional detailing removes contaminants regular washes can't, helps preserve paint and interior materials, reduces long-term wear and tear, and maintains your vehicle's resale and aesthetic value.
It's preventative care for your vehicle—not just cosmetic cleanup.
