A car wash removes dirt. Detailing removes everything the wash leaves behind: bonded iron, embedded tar, oxidized clear coat, the film on the inside of the glass and the grime in the seams of your seats. At LUXE we treat every vehicle — from a Civic to a 911 — with the same three-phase system.
Phase 1 — Deep cleaning & decontamination
We begin with a full PureWash™ hand wash using Quad-Filtered water, then move to what a wash can’t reach: wheels, tires and wheel wells; door, hood and trunk jambs; and a chemical and clay decontamination that pulls iron particles, tar and industrial fallout out of the paint. Paint that feels gritty under a plastic bag before this step feels like glass after it.
Phase 2 — Enhancement
Depending on the package and the condition of the paint, Phase 2 is a gloss-enhancing machine polish that reduces light swirls and restores depth, or a dedicated multi-stage paint correction for heavier defects. We tell you which one your paint actually needs — and we don’t polish paint that doesn’t need it.
Phase 3 — Protection & finishing
Bare, freshly polished paint needs protection. We finish with a premium wax or paint sealant, or upgrade to a ceramic coating for multi-year protection. Trim is dressed, tires conditioned, glass finished inside and out.
Interior included
Full detailing packages include the interior: a thorough vacuum including seat tracks and trunk, steam cleaning and stain treatment, leather cleaning and conditioning, restoration of plastics and vinyl, and interior glass. See interior detailing for the complete process.
What to expect
- Paint that is clean at the molecular level, not just visually
- A noticeably deeper gloss after enhancement
- Protection that keeps the result for months, not days
- An honest assessment of what your paint needs before any machine touches it
- Enhancement polishing reduces light swirls; deep scratches, rock chips and clear-coat failure require paint correction or body work and will be identified at inspection.
- Detailing does not repair sun-faded or cracked leather, peeling clear coat or failed trim; we will tell you when a surface has gone past what detailing can recover.
- Pricing depends on size and condition and is confirmed after a short inspection.
