Choose the Best for Your Vehicle at Carrier Auto Care
Your vehicle is more than just a way to get from point A to point B. Over time, both the exterior and interior face a constant battle against the elements, road grime, spills, and everyday use. A quick wash helps the outside, and a vacuum can tidy the inside, but neither addresses the vehicle as a whole. A full car detail is the ultimate solution. It’s a comprehensive, top-to-bottom, inside-and-out restoration that brings your entire car back to its best possible condition. A full car detail involves deep cleaning to remove stubborn contaminants like dirt, sap, and insects, restoring your vehicle's appearance to a like-new state.

Why Invest in a Full Car Detail?
Choosing a full detail is one of the best investments you can make for your vehicle’s longevity and your own enjoyment.
Maximizes Resale Value
A vehicle that is spotless inside and out will always command a higher price. A full detail is one of the most cost-effective ways to increase your car’s value before selling or trading it in.
A Healthier Environment
We spend hours in our cars, which can become breeding grounds for bacteria, allergens, and dust. A full interior detail sanitizes surfaces and improves air quality, creating a healthier space for you and your family.
Total Protection
A full detail doesn't just clean; it protects. The exterior sealant shields your paint from UV rays and contaminants, while interior conditioners prevent leather and vinyl from cracking and fading.
The Ultimate Pride of Ownership
There is nothing quite like the feeling of driving a car that is immaculately clean inside and out. It restores that new-car excitement and makes every drive more enjoyable. It’s also a great way to apologize to your car for that spilled soda incident.
The Best of Both Worlds, Combined
What is a Full Car Detail?
A full car detail is not just a glorified cleaning. It’s an intensive rejuvenation process for your entire vehicle. It combines all the elements of an exterior detail with all the components of an interior detail to create a single, transformative service. We systematically address every surface, from the paint and wheels on the outside to the carpets and dashboard on the inside.
Think of it as a complete overhaul without any of the mechanical work. The exterior gets a thorough clean, decontamination, and a protective layer of wax or sealant. The interior receives a thorough vacuum, shampooing, and sanitization of all surfaces. It’s the perfect service for preparing a car for sale, recovering from a long road trip, or simply giving your car the clean it desperately needs. We get it; that coffee stain has been staring at you for months. Let us make it go away.

A Professional Method for Total Transformation
Our Full Car Detailing Process
We approach a full car detail with a proven, two-part strategy. By treating the
exterior and
interior as separate but connected projects, we ensure every part of your car receives the focused attention it requires. This approach maximizes the performance of the detailing process, delivering superior results for your vehicle.
Part 1: The Exterior
- Wheel and Tire Deep Clean: We begin with the dirtiest part, using specialized cleaners to dissolve brake dust and grime from your wheels, tires, and wheel wells. This is especially important for cars that are frequently driven, as it removes material buildup that can affect both appearance and performance.
- Foam Bath and Hand Wash: The vehicle receives a pre-rinse and is then covered in a pH-neutral foam to lift dirt safely. We follow this with a gentle two-bucket hand wash to prevent scratching. Different types of finishes, including matte and various colors, require specific care to maintain their unique appearance and durability.
- Full Decontamination: We use iron removers and a clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants like tar, sap, and industrial fallout. This leaves the paint feeling perfectly smooth.
- Polishing Process: Next, we perform a polishing process using professional-grade polish to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and other imperfections that may have formed on the clear coat. We utilize different tools, such as foam pads, microfiber pads, and wool pads, to achieve the best finish for each paint condition. This step improves the paint’s appearance by ensuring that blemishes are removed and the surface is left with a high-gloss, smooth finish.
- Protective Coating: After drying the vehicle with plush microfiber towels, we apply high-quality waxes, sealants, or advanced ceramic coatings from trusted brands. These products form a durable layer that protects the clear coat, enhances the vehicle’s appearance, and ensures the finish lasts. They also protect against spots and several spots caused by environmental contaminants, helping to keep your paint job looking its best.
- Final Touches: All exterior glass is cleaned to a streak-free finish, and trim is conditioned to prevent fading. This process helps maintain the overall appearance and protects the clear coat for long-lasting results.
Part 2: The Interior
- Complete Vacuum: We remove all personal items and floor mats before using compressed air to blow debris from tight spaces. Then, a thorough vacuuming of every surface, crack, and crevice begins.
- Carpet and Upholstery Shampoo: We use professional-grade shampoo and a hot water extractor to pull deep-seated dirt, stains, and odors from fabric seats and carpets. Different upholstery materials require specialized cleaning methods to ensure the best results and protect the integrity of each material.
- Leather Care: Leather surfaces are carefully cleaned with a pH-balanced cleaner to remove grime from the grain, then treated with a premium conditioner to keep the leather soft and protected.
- Surface Sanitization: Every hard surface is extensively cleaned and sanitized. We finish with a UV-protectant dressing that leaves a clean, non-greasy satin finish.
