How Do We Do An Interior Only Detail?
The interior-only detail is actually one of our most popular stand-alone mobile services.
Expectations, Expectations, Expectations!
Managing expectations from us to clients and clients to us is the biggest opportunity for success when discussing interior cleaning. Procedurally, this service is set to the 2 1/2 - 3 hour timeframe. Quite frankly, interiors are a little more difficult to transform as there are more parts, pieces, and crevices to navigate. On top of that, detailers can encounter stains, tears, or discoloration on any of the fabric or hard surfaces, not to mention excessive pet hair.
The interior-only service does not include the removal of staining, bodily fluid, or excessive pet hair. Things like this require additional fees. Fabric repair or color matching is available as upgrade options to an interior-only detail.
So, great - an opportunity for hidden fees …
We promise this is not the case! Every client has the opportunity to let us know at the time they book an appointment whether there is anything excessive. If there is, our system will automatically update their appointment to reflect accurate pricing. If a client accidentally misses this opportunity to let us know, we will update them upon arrival and wait for approval prior to beginning our work.
Subjectivity is a thing when discussing interior detailing. We like to help clear it up a little by defining excessive scenarios as things like; having pets in the vehicle more than a few times a week, food debris under the safety belt buckles or in the seat tracks, any version of bodily fluid, and any staining that requires machine steaming/extraction. The steps necessary to remove these things just take more time, effort, and skill.
We like to encourage people to think in terms of a spectrum from what condition your vehicle is in, currently, to the condition of a brand new version of your vehicle. The further apart those two points are on that spectrum the more time, effort, and skill it will take to bring your vehicle closer to new again. Don’t worry though! We are super fair. If a client feels one way or the other about anything excessive, we are more than happy to work it out and come to an agreement that works for everyone.
After all applicable excessive scenarios are addressed, we perform the following:
Vacuum
Fabric Seat Clean
Leather Seat Clean & Protect
Hard Surface Clean & Protect
Floor Mat Clean & Condition
Interior & Exterior Glass Clean
… and then we’re done. You’ll get a text and a link to pay for your service.
A thorough interior-only detail is an amazing automotive spa experience that you can, and should, pamper your vehicle with at least once per quarter. This, of course, comes with our recommendation to properly maintain your vehicle between appointments. You can check out the post HERE to learn more about how to maintain your vehicle.
