Full Car Detail in Palo Alto

The Interior Detail and the Exterior Detail together, in one visit at your Palo Alto home, so the whole car is reset at once.

What a full car detail in Palo Alto includes

A full car detail in Palo Alto pairs our two core packages. Inside, we vacuum, clean seats, carpets and mats, wipe the dash and doors and clean the inside glass. Outside, we hand wash the body, clean the wheels and tires, dress the tires and clean the outside glass.

Doing both in one visit saves you a second setup and leaves no half-clean car. It is the package most people pick when the car needs attention everywhere, not in one spot.

When it makes sense

Some moments need the whole car done at once. These are the ones we see most in Palo Alto.

  • Spring, when pollen coats the paint and winter mud is still in the mats
  • Before family arrives for the holidays or a Stanford graduation weekend
  • Before you list the car for sale or hand back a lease
  • After a road trip or a week of beach days on the coast
  • When a new driver in the house takes over a family car

How a visit goes in Palo Alto

Say you live in Southgate or Greenmeadow and the car is in the driveway. We arrive in the window we texted, find an outlet, and start inside so the cabin can air out while we wash. If your job needs a water tap, we will have told you when confirming. Wash water is kept out of the storm drain.

In Charleston Meadows and other areas with mostly single-car garages, we can do the interior in the garage and the exterior outside, or keep everything outside. You don't need to be home. When we finish, we text you, you look the car over, and then you pay by card, Zelle, Venmo or cash.

The step up: Complete Detail

If you want a little more, the Complete Detail adds an engine bay detail and spot buffing on light marks to everything in the Full Detail. Spot buffing covers small areas you approve, when the paint allows. It is the package customers book most often.

The package we suggest

Full Detail. Prices depend on the car and its condition, so we text you an exact price before anything is booked. Not sure? Text a photo and we will suggest one.

Questions

How is the Full Detail different from the Complete Detail?
The Full Detail covers the interior and exterior. Complete adds engine bay cleaning and spot buffing on small light marks you approve.
Will a full detail fix scratches?
No. A full detail cleans the car. Spot buffing in the Complete Detail can soften some light marks, but NOVA does not do scratch removal or multi-stage paint correction.
Can you detail two cars at my Palo Alto house in one visit?
Yes. Request one and add the second car in the notes, and we will text a price for both.
What if I notice something you missed?
Text us within 48 hours and we come back to fix anything we cleaned that isn't right.
Is the car ready to drive right after?
Yes. Seats and carpets may be slightly damp for a short while, so cracking a window helps.
