Full Car Detailing (Interior & Exterior)
Detailing is a slow, thorough clean-and-restore of the whole car, not a quick wash. The paint is decontaminated and polished, the glass and wheels are cleaned properly, and the cabin is cleaned panel by panel. It suits a car that is being sold, handed back after a lease, or simply needs a fresh start.

How we do full car detailing (interior & exterior)
- 1
Inspect and agree the scope
We walk around the car with you, note scratches, stains and worn areas, and agree what the detail will and will not remove. The written quote lists each stage.
- 2
Wash and decontaminate
Wheels and arches come first, then a foam pre-wash and hand wash. An iron remover and a clay bar lift what is bonded to the paint, so the surface is smooth to the touch.
- 3
Machine polish and protect
Paint is polished with a machine and suitable pads, using the least aggressive method that removes the marks. A wax or sealant is then applied, and a longer-lasting coating is available as a separate option.

Interior deep clean
The cabin is vacuumed, brushed and steam or extractor cleaned where the material allows. Leather is cleaned and conditioned, glass is finished clear and the cabin is checked in daylight.
Why get a full detail
- Paint that feels rough under your hand even after a wash
- Dull, hazy paintwork and fine swirl marks that show up in direct sunlight
- Sand worked deep into the carpets and between the seat rails
- A stale or sour smell inside the cabin that regular air freshener only covers
- Dirty door shuts, wheel arches and engine-bay plastics that a wash never reaches
- Plans to sell the car or return a leased one and you want it presented at its best
What usually causes it
Bonded contamination on the paint
Rail dust, industrial fallout and tar settle on the clear coat and bond to it. Washing does not lift them, which is why paint can feel gritty when it looks clean.
Years of washing marks
Automatic brushes and dirty cloths put thousands of fine scratches into the clear coat. Together they scatter light, so the paint looks flat instead of deep.
Dirt packed into interior textures
Grain in leather, stitching, vents and seat rails hold dust that a vacuum alone will not release. Left alone, it grinds the surface and darkens it.
Sun and heat on every surface
Heat dries leather, fades plastics and lets odours soak into foam and headlining. A detail cleans the surface and replaces some of what the sun took.
In Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman
Cars parked outdoors here take a daily load of dust and strong UV, so paint and cabin surfaces show age early. A detail before summer, followed by a protective layer, is easier to maintain than correcting a neglected finish later. Pickup and delivery is arranged for the workshop visit.
Questions about full car detailing (interior & exterior)
How is detailing different from a car wash?
A wash removes loose dirt. Detailing also removes bonded contamination, improves the paint finish and cleans inside the places a wash never touches, so it takes hours, not minutes.
Will polishing remove every scratch?
No. Light swirls and haze usually come out, but a scratch you can catch with a fingernail has gone through the clear coat and needs paint repair. We tell you which is which at inspection.
Can the detail be done where my car is parked?
The full job needs a workshop, with proper lighting and controlled conditions for polishing. For an exterior and interior clean at your location, our mobile car wash is the right page.
Should I add a ceramic coating?
It is optional. A coating adds protection after the paint is corrected, and it has its own page with the details, the preparation involved and the quote.
How often should a car be detailed?
Once or twice a year suits most cars, with regular washes in between. A garaged car needs less, and one parked outdoors near construction needs more.
