Car Detailing Services in Tampa
Every service includes a pre-detail inspection. We'll tell you exactly what your vehicle needs — and won't recommend work it doesn't.
Interior Detailing
Starting at $120 for sedans · $150+ for SUVs and trucks
Tampa's heat and humidity create the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and odors to develop inside your vehicle. A basic vacuum and wipe-down doesn't cut it — especially if you have kids, pets, or eat in your car regularly.
Our interior detail starts with a full inspection of seats, carpets, headliner, and all surfaces. We use hot water extraction on fabric seats and carpets to pull out embedded dirt and stains that vacuuming misses. Leather seats get cleaned with pH-balanced products and conditioned to prevent cracking from UV exposure.
Dashboard, center console, door panels, and all plastic trim get deep-cleaned and dressed with a non-greasy protectant. We clean inside cup holders, vents, and the areas between seats that accumulate months of debris. Every interior detail includes an ozone treatment or enzyme-based odor elimination — not just a spray of air freshener.
What's included:
- Full vacuum including under seats and trunk
- Hot water extraction on carpets and fabric seats
- Leather cleaning and conditioning
- Dashboard, console, and door panel restoration
- Interior glass cleaning (streak-free)
- Vent and crevice detailing
- Odor elimination (ozone or enzyme treatment)
- Headliner spot cleaning
Exterior Detail & Polish
Starting at $150 for sedans · $200+ for SUVs and trucks
Florida's UV index, afternoon thunderstorms, and the salt air blowing in from the Gulf of Mexico wear down your paint faster than almost anywhere in the country. Most cars we see in Tampa have visible swirl marks from automatic car washes and noticeable oxidation on horizontal panels after just 3-4 years.
Our exterior detail goes well beyond a hand wash. We start with a thorough pre-rinse and foam bath to lift contaminants safely. The clay bar step removes bonded contamination — brake dust, industrial fallout, tree sap, and overspray — that washing alone can't remove. You'll feel the difference by running your hand across the paint.
Machine polishing removes light scratches, swirl marks, and water spots. We finish with a synthetic sealant that provides 3-6 months of protection against Tampa's elements. Tires get dressed, trim gets restored, and all exterior glass gets cleaned.
What's included:
- Pre-rinse and foam bath hand wash
- Clay bar decontamination
- Single-stage machine polish
- Synthetic sealant application
- Wheel and tire cleaning + tire dressing
- Exterior trim restoration
- Exterior glass cleaning
- Door jamb cleaning
Full Detail Package
Starting at $250 for sedans · $350+ for SUVs and trucks · 4-6 hours
This is our most popular service and what most Tampa customers book. The full detail combines our complete interior and exterior services into one appointment. Drop your car off in the morning and pick up a vehicle that looks and smells like it just rolled off the showroom floor.
The full detail is the best value because it lets us address your vehicle as a whole system. While the sealant cures on the exterior, we're working on the interior — no downtime, no wasted effort. We prioritize full details for scheduling because they let us deliver the best possible result.
This package is ideal before selling a vehicle, after purchasing a used car, seasonal maintenance (we recommend twice a year in Tampa), or when your daily driver just needs a complete reset.
What's included:
- Everything in interior detail
- Everything in exterior detail & polish
- Engine bay wipe-down (light cleaning)
- Door jambs and trunk area
- Tire well cleaning
Ceramic Coating
Starting at $500 · Includes paint correction prep · 1-2 day service
Ceramic coating is the longest-lasting paint protection available. It creates a semi-permanent chemical bond with your clear coat that repels water, UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime. In Tampa's climate, a quality ceramic coating is the single best investment you can make to protect your paint.
Here's what separates our ceramic coating service from shops that rush through it: we always do a full paint correction before applying the coating. Putting ceramic over swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation just locks those imperfections under the coating permanently. We decontaminate, correct, and polish the paint to the best possible condition first. Then we apply the coating in a controlled environment.
A properly applied ceramic coat lasts 2-5 years in Florida, depending on how you maintain it. We'll show you the correct wash technique to maximize longevity. Most customers find they spend less on car care overall because the coating makes maintenance so much easier.
The process:
- Full wash and clay bar decontamination
- Paint thickness measurement
- Multi-stage paint correction
- IPA wipe-down (removes all polishing oils)
- Ceramic coating application
- 24-hour cure time (vehicle stays with us)
- Final inspection and care instructions
Paint Correction
Starting at $300 for single-stage · $500+ for multi-stage
Paint correction is the process of removing imperfections from your vehicle's clear coat using machine polishing. This includes swirl marks (usually from automatic car washes), light scratches, water spots, oxidation, and buffer trails from previous bad detailing jobs.
We measure your paint thickness before starting to ensure there's enough clear coat to safely correct. Tampa's intense sun oxidizes paint faster than moderate climates — horizontal surfaces like hoods, roofs, and trunk lids typically show the most damage. On a dark colored car, you'll notice swirl marks immediately under direct sunlight or parking lot lights.
Single-stage correction removes 60-80% of defects and is right for most vehicles. Multi-stage correction gets you closer to 90-95% and is worth it for show cars, dark paint, or before ceramic coating. We'll recommend the right level after inspecting your paint — no point paying for multi-stage if single-stage will get you where you want to be.
Engine Bay Cleaning
Starting at $75 · Add to any service for $50
Most people never look under their hood unless something goes wrong. A clean engine bay makes it easier to spot leaks, worn belts, and loose connections before they become expensive problems. It also makes a noticeable difference when selling a vehicle — buyers associate a clean engine with a well-maintained car.
We use targeted degreasing products and low-pressure rinse to safely clean the engine bay without forcing water into electrical connections or sensitive components. After cleaning, all plastic and rubber surfaces get dressed with a protectant. The result looks factory-new without risking damage to your vehicle's electronics.
This service pairs well with a full detail or as standalone maintenance. We recommend engine bay cleaning once or twice a year, or anytime you notice excessive grease buildup, musty smells with the hood up, or before a vehicle inspection.
Add-On Services
Available with any detail package.
Headlight Restoration
Yellowed, hazy headlights reduce visibility and make your car look older than it is. We wet-sand and polish the lens, then apply UV sealant to slow re-oxidation. Tampa's sun fogs headlights faster than most climates.
$60-$80 per pairPet Hair Removal
Pet hair embeds into fabric and carpet fibers in ways that normal vacuuming can't handle. We use compressed air, specialized brushes, and extraction to remove embedded hair from every surface. Takes extra time but the results are worth it.
$30-$50 add-onScratch Touch-Up
Deep scratches that go past the clear coat need paint touch-up, not polishing. We color-match your vehicle's paint code and apply touch-up to minimize the appearance of deeper scratches and rock chips.
