When was the last time your car felt truly clean—inside and out? At Village Car Wash (formerly Sahuarita Octopus Car), we get this question all the time: Should I book interior detailing, exterior detailing, or both? Here’s a breakdown to help you choose what your car actually needs.
What Is Interior Car Detailing?
Interior detailing is all about cleaning, restoring, and protecting the inside of your vehicle. Here’s what’s typically included:
-
Deep Vacuuming: Removes dirt, crumbs, and debris from carpets, mats, and seats.
-
Shampooing Carpets & Seats: Lifts stains and gets rid of odors for a fresher interior.
-
Dashboard & Console Cleaning: Wipes away dust and grime, including tricky air vents and buttons.
-
Windows & Mirrors: Streak-free cleaning for perfect visibility.
-
Door Jambs & Trims: Often overlooked, but always cleaned here.
Best for:
-
Families with kids or pets
-
Anyone dealing with spills, stains, or persistent odors
-
Vehicles that spend a lot of time parked outside or in dusty areas
What Is Exterior Car Detailing?
Exterior detailing focuses on making your car look amazing on the outside while protecting the paint and finish. This usually includes:
-
Full-Service Wash: Removes surface dirt, bugs, and road grime.
-
Hand or Machine Wax: Adds shine and a protective layer against Arizona sun and dust.
-
Tire & Wheel Cleaning: Gets rid of brake dust and leaves your wheels shining.
-
Windows & Mirrors: Crystal-clear for safety and appearance.
-
Trim & Door Jamb Cleaning: The small details that set a true detail apart.
Best for:
-
Anyone wanting to boost curb appeal
-
Those protecting a new paint job or planning to sell their car
-
Arizona drivers dealing with sun, dust, and hard water spots
Should You Choose Interior, Exterior, or Both?
Ask yourself these questions:
-
Does your car’s interior look and smell less than fresh?
-
Are there stains, pet hair, or crumbs that a vacuum can’t handle?
-
Does your car’s paint look dull, or are you noticing sun damage?
-
Are the wheels and tires looking faded or dirty?
If you answered “yes” to any interior questions: Go for interior detailing.
If you answered “yes” to any exterior questions: Choose exterior detailing.
If you want your car to feel brand new: Treat yourself to both!
