What the full detailing package includes

This is the package most customers book, because it resets the entire vehicle in one appointment. It combines our interior detail with a full exterior clean.

Inside:

  • Full vacuum of carpets, mats, seats, rails and cargo area.
  • Steam cleaning of hard surfaces and cleaning of all interior surfaces.
  • Door jambs cleaned.
  • Interior glass cleaned.

Outside:

  • Hand wash — no automatic brushes, which is where swirl marks come from.
  • Wax applied for gloss and a layer of protection.
  • Wheels and tires cleaned.
  • [CONFIRM: whether wheel barrels, wheel wells, tire dressing, exterior glass and trim dressing are included at this price.]

The flyer describes this package as "Complete interior and exterior clean, hand wash, wax, vacuum, wheel & tire cleaning, and more." The list above expands that description; anything not confirmed is marked.

[CONFIRM: whether a paint sealant upgrade, engine bay cleaning or odour treatment is available as an add-on, and at what price.]

Booking interior detailing ($130) and an exterior wash separately usually costs more than the full package, and you would make two trips. The full detail is one appointment, one price, and the interior and exterior are done to the same standard.

Section — comparison

Interior detail vs full detail: which one do you need?

Choose Interior Detailing ($130 / $150) if the outside of the vehicle is already in good shape and the problem is inside — salt, crumbs, smells, pet hair, spills.

Choose the Full Detailing Package ($220 / $250) if both need attention, if the vehicle has not been detailed in a year or more, if you are preparing to sell, or if you want the "new car again" feeling in a single visit.

Choose Full Paint Polishing ($300 / $400) instead of, or in addition to, the full detail if the paint itself is the problem — dull, hazy, swirled or oxidized. Washing and waxing cannot fix damaged clear coat; polishing can.

Section — Calgary conditions

Why a full detail matters in Calgary

A full detail is not cosmetic in this city. Winter brine sits on paint and in wheel wells for months, and if it is not removed in spring it keeps working on clear coat and on the metal behind the panels. Spring street sweeping adds gravel and sand to the mix, which is why lower panels and wheel arches take the worst of it. Summer UV at Calgary's altitude fades unprotected paint and dries out trim and tires.

A proper full detail removes the contamination, then puts a protective layer (wax) back on so the next round of salt and UV has something to attack other than your paint. Done twice a year — spring and late fall — it is the cheapest form of paint protection there is.

How long it takes and how to prepare

Typical time: [CONFIRM: expected duration, e.g. 3–5 hours depending on vehicle size and condition.]

Before you arrive:

  • Remove personal items and valuables.
  • Tell us about pets, smoke, heavy staining or anything that has spilled.
  • If you are booking before a sale or a road trip, book a few days ahead so there is room in the schedule for a re-check.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a full car detail in Calgary?01

At Drivers & Riders, the full detailing package is $220 for a sedan, hatchback or coupe and $250 for a truck. It includes a complete interior and exterior clean, hand wash, wax, vacuum, and wheel and tire cleaning.

What is the difference between a full detail and an interior detail?02

Interior detailing cleans only the cabin, from $130. The full detailing package cleans the cabin and the exterior — hand wash, wax, wheels and tires — from $220.

Does the full detail include paint polishing?03

No. The full detail cleans and waxes the paint. Full paint polishing, which removes swirl marks and oxidation, is a separate service starting at $300 for a car and $400 for a truck.

How often should I book a full detail in Calgary?04

Twice a year works for most drivers — once in spring to remove winter salt and sand, and once in late fall to protect the paint before winter.

Will a full detail remove scratches?05

Light surface marks and wash marring can be reduced, but the full detail is a clean-and-protect service. Removing swirl marks and scratches properly requires paint polishing.

Can I book a full detail and headlight polishing together?06

Yes. Headlight polishing is $70 and can be added to the same appointment.
