The Beginner's Guide to Car Detailing Services
5/9/23
What Is Car Detailing? (And Why It Actually Matters) A clean car turns heads. But if you think a basic rinse is enough to keep it looking sharp year-round, you’re lying to yourself. Real car care starts with detailing — not just washing off dirt, but restoring, protecting, and refining every inch of your vehicle. Let’s break down what car detailing really includes, how long it takes, and what it should cost if you’re not getting ripped off.
Car Detailing vs. Car Wash: Know the Difference
A drive-through wash is like splashing water on your face. Car detailing? That’s full grooming, exfoliating, and moisturizing — for your car.
Exterior Detailing Includes:
Hand wash and towel dry
Polishing & paint correction
Wax or ceramic sealant
Wheel and tire cleaning
Glass and mirror cleaning
Trim restoration and shine
Bottom line: It doesn’t just look better — it protects the paint, boosts resale value, and repels the brutal DFW elements.
Interior Detailing Includes:
Deep vacuuming (seats, carpet, trunk)
Steam cleaning or shampoo extraction
Leather conditioning or fabric protection
Touchpoint sanitization
Window & mirror cleaning
Odor removal and deodorizing
You spend your life inside your car. It should look, feel, and smell like it.
How Long Does a Full Detail Take?
It depends on the vehicle size, condition, and service level. That said, most full-service interior + exterior details take 1.5 to 3 hours.
At Rinzer, you don’t waste that time sitting around. We come to you. Park the car, go about your day, and come back to a showroom-level clean — wherever you are.
How Much Should Car Detailing Cost?
Prices vary, but most serious detailing jobs range between $150–$500 depending on vehicle size and service depth. Cheap detailers cut corners. We don’t.
