Choosing a detailing package

Five packages, two add-ons and a few programs. Here is what each one includes and the situations it fits best.

Prefer a guided answer? Try the package chooser, or see every detail on the comparison page. Complete Detail is the one most people book. On EVs, the engine bay part is a wipe-down of the front trunk and visible plastic covers; the front trunk is cleaned like the interior.

Which one fits your situation

These are examples to help you choose, not a diagnosis. If you are unsure, text us a photo.

  • The cabin feels grimy but the outside is fine: Interior Detail.
  • The outside is dusty or covered in pollen, the inside is fine: Exterior Detail.
  • It has been a while since anyone cleaned it properly: Full Detail.
  • You are selling the car or returning a lease: Complete Detail. Our Sell-Ready and Lease Return Ready moments are built on it.
  • Dog hair everywhere, old spills soaked in, or tar on the paint: Elite Restoration, or Pet Hair Rescue for hair alone. Both are quoted per car.
  • Kids, crumbs and car seats: ask for the Car Seat and Kid Reset. We clean around installed car seats.
  • You want it to stay this clean: after a first Full or Complete Detail, NOVA Monthly keeps it there, monthly or every two weeks.

What changes the price

The package, the size of the vehicle (an SUV, truck or van takes longer than a small car), its condition and any add-ons. That is why we confirm an exact price by text once we know the car.

If the car turns out to be in a very different condition when we arrive, for example heavy pet hair or sand that wasn't mentioned, we tell you before we start. You can approve the new price, keep the original work, or cancel with no fee.

What we don't offer

We don't do full paint correction, ceramic coating, paint protection film, window tint, wraps, headlight restoration, or ozone and odor treatment. If you need one of those, a specialist shop is the right call. See what detailing can and can't fix.

Quick questions

Can I add the engine bay or spot buffing to a Full Detail?
Yes. Both add-ons can be added to the Interior, Exterior or Full Detail. They are already part of the Complete Detail.
Is Elite Restoration a repair service?
No. "Restoration" means deep cosmetic cleaning. Detailing does not repair paint, dents, glass or upholstery.
