Detailing & Maintenance · Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, Davie FL

How long does a full detail usually take?

Half a day to a full day. Exterior decontamination and a safe wash are two to three hours; a thorough interior is two to four; protection adds an hour and cure time. A detail that takes an hour is a wash with dressing.

The timeline

What changes the time

Pet hair, sand from the beach, a coating that needs a maintenance top-up, or paint that has never been decontaminated. An SUV that has hauled kids for a year is a longer day than a coupe.

Drop-off

Plan to leave the car for the day. It stays inside our bay from drop-off to pick-up, and we call when it is ready.

Packages

Maintenance packages from $300. Ceramic Maintenance Detail, Renew, and Renew+ with protection that lasts up to a year.

Why is detailing so expensive?
Because it is hours of skilled labor, not a car wash. A proper detail decontaminates the paint, cleans every surface inside, and protects what it cleaned. A $30 wash takes ten minutes; a detail takes most of a day. Full answer →
How much does it cost to repair a headlight?
Restoring a hazed lens is a few hundred dollars and lasts a season or two; replacing a modern LED headlight assembly runs from several hundred to a few thousand. The cheapest headlight repair is the one you never need: clear film on the lens before it pits. Full answer →
What does a full interior detail include?
Everything you touch and everything you see: vacuum including seams and under seats, steam on hard surfaces, leather cleaned and conditioned, plastics and vents, carpets and mats, glass inside, and a protectant that does not shine or attract dust. Full answer →
How much should a full detail be?
For a real detail, exterior decontamination plus a thorough interior plus protection, expect a few hundred dollars by vehicle size. Our maintenance packages start at $300. Anything under $150 is a wash with dressing, and anything with "lifetime" in the name is a sealant. Full answer →
