What this is for

One visit, one detailer, one price

The Complete is not the interior service and the exterior service sold together. It is one visit, planned as one job, in a sequence that only works when the same person is doing both halves — and it is the service most people book when a vehicle has been left a while, or when it is about to be sold, handed back or photographed.

The reason it is not simply the sum of the two is the order. Washing a vehicle re-soils a cabin through open doors, so the interior has to come last. Booked separately on two different days, the interior gets done twice or done badly.

Two half-jobs on two days is more time out of your week and a worse result.

What is included

Every step, every time

The Interior Detail and the Exterior Detail performed back to back by the same crew, so the whole vehicle is done in a single appointment.

Includes every step of the Interior Detail and the Exterior Detail.

Inside the vehicle

5 steps
  1. Full vacuum including under seats and in the trunk
  2. Seats, carpets and mats shampooed or extracted
  3. Dash, console, door cards and vents detailed
  4. Interior glass cleaned streak-free
  5. Matte, non-greasy UV dressing on trim

Outside the vehicle

7 steps
  1. Two-bucket hand wash with a pH-neutral soap
  2. Wheels, tires and wheel wells cleaned
  3. Bug and tar removal
  4. Iron and contamination removal on paint
  5. Paint sealant applied and hand levelled
  6. Exterior glass and door jambs finished
  7. Door jambs and fuel door cleaned

The visit itself

1 step
  1. Final walkaround with you before we leave

Worth knowing

The things a detailer would tell you in person.

  • Booked as one job so you only give up one block of time.
  • The interior is finished last so nothing is re-soiled during the wash.
  • Before and after photos are taken and attached to your booking.

What this does not cover

Said here rather than discovered on the day.

  • Machine paint correction — that is the Signature Detail
  • Engine bay cleaning unless added
  • Ceramic coating, which is quoted after a paint assessment

The shape of it

What one visit actually means

One appointment
A single arrival window with the whole job reserved behind it.
One detailer
The same person takes the vehicle from wheels to touch points.
One figure
Priced as one job and shown in full before you confirm anything.

Why both at once

The order only works one way

Four constraints decide the sequence, and every one of them is a reason not to split the work across two appointments.

  1. Wheels before paint

    Brake dust is abrasive, so wheels are done first with their own tools. Nothing that touched a wheel goes near a panel afterward.

  2. Paint before interior

    A wash puts water and grit through open door shuts. Cleaning the cabin first means cleaning part of it again.

  3. Protection while it is clean

    A decontaminated panel is the most vulnerable it will ever be. Protection goes on immediately, in the same visit, not at the next one.

  4. Touch points at the very end

    Wheel, shifter, handles and door edges are the last thing done, after every other surface has been handled for the final time.

Who books it

Four situations it fits

If none of these is you, the interior or exterior service on its own is probably the better value — and we would rather say so.

  • 01

    A vehicle that has been left a while

    Six months or more without a detail. Both halves need real work, and doing them in one planned visit is faster than two separate recoveries.

  • 02

    Before selling or handing back

    A lease return, a private sale, a trade-in appraisal. The first impression is the whole vehicle rather than one half of it.

  • 03

    The reset before a schedule

    The first visit is always the longest. A Complete is the usual starting point before moving to a maintenance rhythm on a shorter service.

  • 04

    A new vehicle you intend to keep

    Decontaminating and protecting paint that has not yet picked up anything, and treating an interior before it has taken its first spill.

Scope

What is in, and what is quoted

The full step list is above. This is the line between what the service covers and what is separate work, stated before you book rather than discovered on the day.

Covered by the visit

  • The whole exterior sequence, decontamination and protection included
  • The whole interior pass, top down, touch points last
  • Wheels, tires, wheel wells, trim and all glass
  • Door shuts, trunk and cargo area
  • A walkaround with you at the end, or photographs if you are not there

Priced separately

  • Hot water extraction of carpets or upholstery
  • Heavy pet hair removal
  • Odor treatment, which is only meaningful after the source is out
  • Engine bay cleaning and headlight restoration
  • Machine polishing, correction and coatings — those are Signature or a written quote

On the day

What a full visit looks like

  1. A walk around before anything starts

    We look at the vehicle with you and agree what it needs. If it needs more than it was booked for, the figure is put to you then rather than added afterward.

  2. Outside, then inside, in one run

    Wheels, wash, decontamination, dry, protect — then the cabin, top down. Nothing is cleaned twice because nothing is cleaned out of order.

  3. A walkaround at the end

    Together if you are there, photographed if you are not. Anything missed is far easier to put right in the first five minutes than the next day.

Questions

Asked about the complete

Is this just the interior and exterior services combined?

Not quite. The step lists overlap, but a Complete is planned as one job in one sequence: wheels first, paint decontaminated and protected, cabin last. Booked as two separate appointments on two days, the interior work gets partly undone by the wash, so it is genuinely a different job rather than two invoices stapled together.

How much of the day does a Complete take?

Longer than either half on its own and less than both booked separately, because nothing is repeated. Size and condition both move it, and the booking flow reserves the block your vehicle actually needs from what you tell us about it.

Do I need to be there?

No. Plenty of Complete details happen while somebody is at work. Leave us access to the vehicle and anything we need to reach it — a gate code, a garage remote, a parking pass — and we will send photographs and lock it back exactly where it started.

What if the vehicle turns out to need more than I booked?

We stop and put the figure to you before doing it. The system cannot capture an amount nobody has approved, so the worst case is that we do what was booked and tell you what we found.

Is it worth it on a car I am about to sell?

Usually yes, and it is one of the few cases where the arithmetic is straightforward — a buyer forms an opinion of how a vehicle was looked after in the first thirty seconds. Paint correction on a car you are selling is a different question and rarely returns its cost.

How often should I book one?

Most people use a Complete as the reset and then keep the vehicle on something shorter. Where the interval lands depends on where it is parked, what rides in it and how far you drive — the Recurring care page sets out how a schedule is chosen.
