Interior checklist

- Full steam cleaning of upholstery and hard surfaces
- Leather clean and condition
- Plastic and vinyl dressed with a matte finish
- Windows, mirrors, and visors cleaned streak-free
- Air blowout of vents, seams, and crevices
- Cup holders, door pulls, shift knob, and steering wheel sanitized
Exterior checklist
- Pre-rinse with foam soap
- Two-bucket hand wash with pH-neutral shampoo

- Iron decontamination on paint and wheels
- Clay bar (usually as an add-on)
- Panel-by-panel hand dry with plush microfiber
- High-gloss spray wax
- Door jambs and trim dressed
How long it takes
3 to 4 hours for a sedan or coupe, 4 to 5 for an SUV, longer for oversized vehicles. If someone quotes 90 minutes for a full detail, they're skipping steam, decontamination, or both.
FAQ
- What's the difference between a detail and a wash?
- A wash is exterior soap and rinse. A detail includes interior deep cleaning, exterior decontamination, and paint protection — an order of magnitude more thorough.
- Do you shampoo carpets in a standard full detail?
- Steam cleaning is included; hot-water extraction shampoo is typically a $50 add-on for cars with heavier staining.
- Is paint correction included?
- No — paint correction is a separate service or included with a ceramic coating package. A full detail restores gloss with spray wax, not machine polishing.
- How much does a full detail cost?
- FujiWash™ interior + exterior detail starts at $249 for coupes and sedans, with plan pricing from $149 per visit on a monthly cadence.
