Question · Full Detail
How often should you detail your car?
Twice a year for most daily drivers. Quarterly for cars parked outside. Monthly if it is a show car or you commute long highway miles.
This question is part of our Full Detail service. See the full service overview, what's included, and how to schedule a walk-around.
WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
When to pick something else.
Skip the detail if the only issue is a recent surface dirty-up. A regular wash handles that. Detail is for the deeper work that builds up over months.
FAQS
Common follow-up questions.
What if my car is in a garage and barely driven?
Once a year is enough. Garaged storage protects most of what a detail would address.
I do tunnel washes — does that count?
Tunnel washes degrade the paint over time (swirl marks, water spots). A detail twice a year does not undo all of that, but it slows the visible damage.
Better season for detailing?
April-May for the spring detail. October for the fall. Avoid 95+ degree days — chemicals dry too fast.
