What does the inside of my car get in a full detail?
A full vacuum, steam cleaning of all surfaces, leather cleaning and conditioning, carpet and upholstery extraction, vent cleaning, inside glass cleaning and trim restoration.
- Seats and carpets: extraction lifts what a vacuum leaves behind.
- Leather: cleaned and conditioned, and conditioning every 3 to 6 months keeps it supple.
- Vents, glass and trim: cleaned, and trim restored.
Can you get pet hair and odors out?
Yes. We remove pet hair with specialized tools and treat odors with ozone treatment or enzyme cleaners, so a vehicle with a neglected interior or pet damage can be brought back.
How do I know whether my paint needs correction?
Look for visible swirls, scratches or water spots, or paint that has lost its original gloss. If you see them, correction can restore it; many vehicles benefit but not all need it, and we tell you which yours is at the assessment.
Light scratches and swirls come out with paint correction. Deep scratches that go through to the primer or metal need a body shop, but we can tell you what is possible. Our guide to what paint correction is explains the process.
How long does a detail take?
A maintenance detail takes about 4 hours, and a full correction with a ceramic coating can take 3 days or more.
- The service level you choose: wash, detail, correction or coating
- Your vehicle's size and paint condition
- How soiled the interior is
- The coating's cure time
Is spring the time to detail after a Michigan winter?
Yes, it is the usual time for a deep clean. Winter leaves salt in the carpets and on the paint, and salt speeds up rust on cars, so a seasonal deep clean once the roads are clear resets both.
Ferndale is a 3.88-square-mile city of 19,190 residents, but the salt and road film are the same as anywhere else in Metro Detroit, and a spring deep clean takes care of both.
How do I get from Ferndale to the shop?
Take I-696 east to exit 18, where it meets I-75 at the corner Ferndale shares with Hazel Park, Royal Oak and Madison Heights, then I-75 north to exit 65, 14 Mile Road. We are at 436 E 14 Mile Rd, Madison Heights, MI 48071.
Can a detail prepare my car for a coating, film or a wrap?
Yes: decontamination and paint correction are the prep for all three, because coatings and film lock in whatever is underneath.

What does a detail cost in Ferndale?
It depends on the level you pick, your vehicle's size, the paint's condition and how much cleaning the interior needs. Request a free quote or call (248) 881-8204; our window tint page for Ferndale covers the glass.
What does a Ferndale detail start with, the cabin or the paint?
Often the cabin, because Woodward, Nine Mile and Eight Mile put grit inside as well as film on the paint. Eight Mile Road is Ferndale's south border. A maintenance detail is about 4 hours at 436 E 14 Mile Rd, Madison Heights, MI 48071, about 5 miles from Ferndale in a straight line. I-696 exit 18 is the corner shared with Madison Heights.
