Car Detailing – When Is It Worth It and What Does It Cost?

**Exterior detailing:** • Thorough hand wash with pH-neutral shampoo • Decontamination (iron fallout, tar, bug residue removal) • Clay bar treatment for a smooth surface • Machine polishing (paint correction, swirl mark removal) • Sealing (wax, ceramic, or hybrid sealant) • Wheel cleaning and tire care **Interior detailing:** • Deep cleaning of all surfaces • Upholstery and carpet cleaning (wet or steam cleaning) • Leather cleaning and conditioning • Plastic care and UV protection • Interior window cleaning • Optional: Ozone treatment for odors

• **Before selling**: A detailed car can bring €500–2,000 more in sale price. First impressions count. • **After winter**: Road salt, moisture, and dirt leave marks. A spring detail removes these and protects the paint. • **New car protection**: Even new cars benefit from a sealant as base protection for years to come. • **Regular maintenance**: Having your car detailed 1–2 times per year maintains value and appearance long-term.

Costs vary depending on vehicle size, condition, and desired sealant. Various packages are available: • Interior detailing • Exterior detailing (incl. polish) • Complete packages (Interior + Exterior) • Premium detailing (with ceramic coating) • Ozone treatment for odors Contact us for a personalized quote.

• **Car wash**: Surface-level cleaning, brushes can cause micro-scratches (swirl marks). No polishing, no sealing. • **Professional detailing**: Deep cleaning, paint correction, sealing. Results last months instead of days. Anyone looking to protect their paint long-term needs professional detailing.
