What to Expect During a Full-Service Car Detail

If you've never had your car professionally detailed, you might wonder: What's included? How long does it take? And most importantly, is it worth it?

At Duffy's Detailing in Lebanon, OH, we believe full-service detailing is one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle. It protects your car, enhances your driving experience, and maintains its long-term value. Here's what happens when you book a professional detail with us.


Comprehensive Exterior Cleaning and Protection

We begin with your car's exterior, giving the body, wheels, and trim a deep, meticulous clean:

  • Hand wash and rinse to remove dirt, grime, and bugs
  • Clay bar treatment to remove embedded contaminants
  • Wheel, tire, and fender cleaning and dressing
  • Paint polishing or correction (if needed) to eliminate swirl marks or fine scratches
  • Protective wax, sealant, or ceramic coating application for long-lasting shine and defense

When we finish, your car's exterior will be showroom-ready—glossy, smooth, and protected from the elements.


Deep Interior Detailing and Refresh

The inside of your car receives equal attention. Our full-service detail includes:

  • Complete vacuuming of carpets, mats, seats, and crevices
  • Shampooing or steam cleaning to remove stains and ground-in dirt
  • Leather or vinyl cleaning and conditioning to prevent cracking or fading
  • Dashboard, console, and door panel cleaning and dressing
  • Interior glass cleaning for streak-free visibility
  • Odor elimination treatments for a fresh, clean scent

From kid messes to pet hair to everyday wear, we restore your cabin to a clean, comfortable, like-new condition.


Undercarriage and Extra Care

For customers seeking ultimate protection, we also offer:

  • Undercarriage cleaning and undercoating to defend against rust, salt, and moisture
  • Engine bay cleaning (on request) for a spotless under-hood appearance
  • Specialty treatments like headlight restoration, window coatings, or trim rejuvenation

We customize every full-service detail to your car's specific needs, ensuring no surface goes untreated.


How Long Does a Full-Service Detail Take?

A thorough full-service detail takes time—depending on your vehicle's size and condition, expect:

  • 3–5 hours for standard detailing
  • 5–8+ hours for large vehicles or added services like paint correction or ceramic coating

We'll provide a clear time estimate upfront so you can plan accordingly.
