    Express, Full, or Premium? How to Pick the Right Interior Detail for Your Car

    Express, Full, or Premium? How to Pick the Right Interior Detail for Your Car

    Most people booking an interior detail ask the same question: "Which one do I actually need?" It's a fair question. The gap between a $99 Express and a $259 Premium is real, and the right pick depends less on your car and more on what's been happening inside it.

    Here's the honest breakdown.

    Interior Express - $99

    Best for: A car that's tidy but tired. You vacuum once in a while, nothing is stained, and you mostly just want it to feel fresh again.

    What's included:

    • Full vacuum (seats, carpets, mats, trunk)

    • Wipe-down of all hard surfaces (dash, console, doors, cup holders)

    • Glass cleaned inside

    • Air freshener

    Skip it if: there are visible stains, pet hair embedded in the carpet, or any kind of lingering smell. Express is a refresh, not a reset.

    Interior Full - $199

    Best for: Daily drivers, family vehicles, or anyone who hasn't had a proper detail in 6+ months. This is the package most of our customers book, and for good reason.

    What's included (everything in Express, plus):

    • Steam cleaning of carpets and upholstery

    • Leather conditioning

    • Deep cleaning of vents, crevices, and seat tracks

    • Odor neutralization (not just masking)

    Pick this if: there's coffee on the console, crumbs in the back seat, dog hair in the trunk, or that "lived-in" smell that an air freshener can't fix. Full handles the real-world stuff.

    Interior Premium - $259

    Best for: Cars that need a true restoration. Set-in stains, heavy pet hair, deep odors, or interiors that haven't been touched in years.

    What's included (everything in Full, plus):

    • Deep extraction on carpets and seats (pulls dirt and moisture out, not just lifts it)

    • Stain removal on fabric and upholstery

    • Protective treatments on leather and surfaces to slow future wear

    • More time, more passes, more attention to the details most people miss

    Pick this if: you're prepping a car for sale, recovering from a spill or a smoker, or just want it as close to factory-new as a 5-year-old vehicle can get.

    Quick Cheat Sheet

    If your car is... Book...
    Tidy, just needs a refresh Express
    A daily driver with normal wear Full
    Stained, smelly, or being sold Premium

    A Few Honest Notes

    • You can always upgrade on the day. If our tech shows up and sees the car needs more than what you booked, we'll tell you before starting any extra work.

    • Add an exterior package for a discount. Combos save you money versus booking the two sides separately.

    • Members skip the deposit and get every service discounted. If you book more than 2 details a year, the membership pays for itself.

    Still not sure? Text us a photo of the interior at 412-475-1960 and we'll tell you straight up which tier fits. No upsell games.
