Detailing Packages
in Elk Grove, CA

Three full details, each one a step up from the last: Refresh, Renew and Reshine. Here’s what each one does and how Elk Grove drivers usually choose between them.

The three packages

Each package includes everything in the one before it, plus more time and more work. These are sedan prices and times:

  • Refresh Detail, $199, about 2 hours. Outside: pre-rinse, foam cannon, hand wash, air and towel dry, rims and tires, tire shine. Inside: full vacuum, wipedown of every surface, windows.
  • Renew Full Detail, $395, about 4 hours. Adds bug removal, clay bar, trim and plastic shine and wax outside. Inside, it adds carpet and upholstery shampoo and extraction, a deep clean of every surface, steam cleaning, leather and plastic conditioning and a full window detail.
  • Reshine Detail, $599, about 6 hours. Everything in Renew, plus a step-one machine polish on the paint.

Start with what the car is used for

The easiest way to pick is to think about how the car spends its week. A commuter sedan that runs up I-5 to downtown and back mostly collects bugs, road film and dust. A family SUV collects all of that outside, plus crumbs, spills and sports gear inside. A pickup that goes out to Wilton every weekend has dust in every seam.

The more the inside gets lived in, the more you’ll want Renew. Shampoo and extraction are what pull out the spilled juice, the muddy cleats and the sunscreen smears. A Refresh vacuums and wipes, which is great for a cabin that is dusty but not stained.

Our process

Choose in four quick checks.

Pick by how the car lives, not by how it looks from the curb.

01

Open the back door

Stains, spills or ground-in dirt on the seats and floor mean you want shampoo and extraction. That starts at Renew.

02

Run a hand over the hood

If clean paint feels rough or gritty, it needs a clay bar. That’s Renew too.

03

Look at the paint in sun

Fine circles and dull color are swirls. A polish fixes them, and that’s Reshine.

04

Think about the last detail

Done in the last few months and still in good shape? Refresh is likely enough.

When each one makes sense

A few common Elk Grove situations, and the package we usually suggest:

  • Minivan after a season of school runs and tournaments: Renew, for the shampoo and steam
  • Commuter car that gets washed now and then but never deep cleaned: Refresh to start, Renew twice a year
  • Truck that lives on Sheldon or Wilton dirt roads: Renew, so the clay bar and wax can deal with the grit in the paint
  • Used car you just bought: Reshine, to clean out the last owner and polish out the swirls
  • Getting ready to sell or trade in: Reshine for the best first look
  • Car with a ceramic coating: Refresh, since the coating is already protecting the paint

What Reshine adds

Reshine is the only package that changes the paint itself. A step-one polish removes most light swirl marks and brings back the gloss that sun and car washes wear away. It won’t erase deep scratches or chips, but most cars look much sharper after it.

If your paint has heavy swirls or scratches, it may need more than one step. Our paint correction page explains how we decide, and we quote that work after we see the car.

Inside only, outside only and add-ons

Not every car needs both halves. If the paint is fine but the back seat is a mess, an interior-only detail puts all the time into the cabin. If the inside is tidy, there are exterior-only versions too.

Add-ons cover the jobs that take extra time: pet hair removal ($100 per hour), extra shampooing ($100), excess soiling or stains ($100), headlight restoration ($75), odor bomb ($99) and engine detail ($49). Sedan prices are the starting point. Three-row SUVs, minivans and full-size trucks are priced by size, and we confirm the total before we start.

A simple yearly rhythm

You don’t need the biggest package every time. Many families here mix them through the year. A Renew in spring clears out the winter mud and the leftover crumbs from the holidays. A Refresh or two over the summer keeps the dust and bugs under control. Then another Renew in fall, after a season of practices, pool days and road trips, gets the seats and carpet back to clean.

Reshine fits in once in a while, when the paint starts to look flat. Polishing removes a thin layer of clear coat each time, so it’s not something to do every visit. Once every year or two is plenty for most daily drivers.

If you’d rather not plan any of this, tell us how you use the car and we’ll suggest a schedule. Some people turn it into a maintenance plan so the visits just happen.

FAQ

Detailing Packages questions

Which package do most families pick?

Family SUVs and minivans usually get the most from Renew, because shampoo and extraction pull out the spills that a vacuum can’t.

Is a minivan priced like a sedan?

No. Larger vehicles take more time, so they’re priced by size. Send us the make and model and we’ll give you the price before you book.

Can I add pet hair removal to Refresh?

Yes. Add-ons work with any package. Pet hair removal is $100 per hour.

Does Reshine fix every scratch?

No. The step-one polish removes most light swirls and restores gloss. Deeper scratches may need more work, which we quote.

Do you do these at my home?

Yes. Every package is done at your home or work with our own water and power. We also have a detail shop if you’d rather drop the car off.
