  • Deep Clean & Medium-Term Protection

    Starts at – $199

    A complete interior and exterior refresh designed to clean, smooth, and protect your vehicle without going into heavy restoration work.

    Exterior:
    Hand wash and rinse of the full exterior, including wheels, tires, and wheel wells. Door and trunk jambs are wiped down, and the paint is treated with a clay mitt to remove bonded contaminants like bugs and tar. A 3-month paint sealant is applied for durable shine and protection, and all exterior glass is finished streak-free.

    Interior:
    The cabin is thoroughly vacuumed, tight areas are air-purged, and all crevices are brushed out. Every surface is wiped clean, and high-touch spots receive targeted steam cleaning for a deeper sanitizing effect. Interior glass is left streak-free, and a light scent treatment completes the service.

How Our Full Detailing Process Works

We keep things simple: you bring us the car, and we make the entire experience feel effortless. Our goal is to give you that “wow… this is exactly what I wanted” moment — every single time.

From the second we start, your vehicle gets treated with the same care and attention we’d give our own. We handle everything — the cleanup, the shine, the protection — while you relax knowing it’s in the right hands. No confusion, no guesswork, no surprises. Just a clean, smooth, fully refreshed vehicle delivered back to you exactly the way you hoped it would look.

Every package comes with the same core promise: consistent quality, satisfying results, and a finish that feels noticeably better inside and out. Whether you’re getting a simple refresh or a full restoration, the outcome is always polished, balanced, and done right.

Once your detail is complete, we walk you through the results and make sure you’re genuinely happy with the outcome. If something needs an extra touch — we take care of it on the spot. Your satisfaction isn’t a bonus; it’s the baseline.

Clean. Smooth. Protected.
That’s the SM.AutoDetailing experience — every time.
