Full Interior & Exterior Detail in Vancouver, WA
A complete inside-and-out detail for cars, trucks, and SUVs, done where the vehicle is parked.
What full interior & exterior detail actually involves
A full detail covers both halves of the car in one visit: the interior gets vacuumed, shampooed, steamed, and wiped down, and the exterior gets a hand wash, decontamination, and a coat of protection. Most sedans take three to four hours. Trucks, third-row SUVs, and anything with pet hair or spilled food take longer, and I will tell you that before I start rather than after.
I work mobile across Vancouver and the surrounding towns. All I need is a spot to park where I can walk a full circle around the vehicle, plus access to a water spigot and an outdoor outlet.
Pricing starts at $200 for a standard car. Condition matters more than size — a lightly used commuter costs less than a work truck that has been hauling drywall since spring. Send a couple of photos and I will quote it honestly.

Questions about auto detailing in Vancouver WA
How much does auto detailing cost in Vancouver, WA?
A full interior-and-exterior detail starts at $200. Interior-only starts at $140 and exterior-only starts at $80. Larger vehicles or heavy soiling cost more, and I quote before I start.
Do I need to be home during the detail?
No. Plenty of customers leave the keys and go to work. I just need access to the vehicle and a parking spot.
Do you need my water or electricity?
Yes — I use your outdoor spigot and an exterior outlet, so let me know ahead of time if the spot you park in does not have both.
