A full car detail usually combines interior and exterior detailing into one broader service. The exact scope should still be confirmed because vehicle size, condition, materials, and protection goals can change what is realistic.
What a full car detail usually means
A full detail is commonly a complete reset for the cabin and exterior. It is more thorough than a quick wash and vacuum, but it should still have defined inclusions so the customer knows what is covered.
Common interior inclusions
- Vacuuming, mats, carpets, seats, cargo areas, and visible debris removal.
- Cleaning panels, console areas, vents, cup holders, trim, and high-touch surfaces.
- Interior glass cleaning and condition review for stains, odor, pet hair, or salt.
Common exterior inclusions
- Exterior wash planning, wheels, tires, glass, trim, and road film removal.
- Paint decontamination review when the surface feels rough or contaminated.
- Protection recommendation based on paint condition and owner goals.
What may be quoted separately
Pet hair removal, odor removal, engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, major stain treatment, paint correction, and ceramic coating may need separate review. NorthLane can recommend the right package or add-on path after reviewing the vehicle.
