What is interior car detailing in Vancouver?

Interior car detailing works a bit like traveling back in time.

The goal of car detailing is (by using a variety of specific tools, products and techniques) to reverse the effects of age and wear-and-tear on your car, bringing it as close as possible (cosmetically and appearance-wise) to a like-new condition.

If you’ve ever bought a new car, you might remember that uplifting feeling. Walking onto the lot and seeing there, the shine and glow of new car paint, the fresh smell of the interior, the souple touch of the leather car seats… You felt special, as if everyone was looking at you with envy.

Interior car detailing is simply trying to give you back that wonderful feeling, so you can re-live the moment without actually having to buy a new car every single time.

There is also a major health benefit that comes from having your car interior detailed. We’ll touch on that in a moment.

But first…

What does interior car detailing in Vancouver include?

If you ask 10 ten different car detailing companies this question, you will get 10 different answers.

That is because there is no set standard for interior car detailing services, so everyone choses their own version of doing things, based on experience and personal preference.

As a customer, is easy to get confused about what a proper interior car detailing should include, and also risk becoming a victim to unethical Vancouver car detailers out there, who want to trick you into spending more money on inferior work.

At the very minimum, a car interior detailing service in Vancouver should include the following:

• Thorough vacuuming of the interior, including the trunk space

• Meticulous wipe-down of the dashboard, center console, and door panels

• Cleaning and degreasing of all interior windows

All this should be non-negotiable. It is also the main difference between “car detailing in Vancouver” and a “car wash in Vancouver”.

Aside from the basic steps listed above, a proper car interior detailing service may also include some or all of the following, based on the car’s condition and owner’s budget:

• Shampooing the interior carpet

• Deep cleaning, conditioning and hydrating the leather car seats

• Removing excess pet hair from carpet and seats

• Treating bad odours, with the intention of reducing or completely eliminating them

• Sanitizing the car interior to remove germs and allergens

How long does interior car detailing in Vancouver take?

The duration of an interior car detailing service varies based on the package selected, the car’s condition, and the car’s size.

In general terms, an interior car detailing service can take from around an hour to a couple of days, depending on the extent of the procedure.

At the lower end of the time scale will be a quick unpretentious quick interior detail, better suited as a frequent maintenance package.

And at the upper end of the time scale will be a full blown meticulous and thorough interior detail, including multiple steps of odour and leather car seat treatments, with the intention of restoring the car’s interior condition to the highest possible level.

How much does interior car detailing in Vancouver cost?

The price for having your car interior detailed depends on several factors:

• Size of your car

• Condition of your car

• Your expectations

Let’s talk about each of these factors one at a time.

Size of your car

The size of your car falls into one of these categories:

• Small / Medium – Porsche 911, Tesla Model 3, Mercedes C-Class

• Large – BMW X5, Mercedes GLE, Porsche Cayenne

• X-Large – Audi Q7, Cadillac Escalade, Mercedes G-Class

How does the size of your car affect the price for interior detailing?

A smaller size car (such as a Tesla Model 3) will take less time and effort to detail than a large size SUV (such as BMW X5).

Condition of your car

The condition of your car could generally fall into one of these categories:

• Regularly maintained – detailed every few months

• Rarely cleaned – detailed about once a year

• Never detailed since it was bought

How does the condition of your car affect the price for interior detailing in Vancouver?

A car in good condition (which has been regularly detailed and is only used by one person) will take significantly less time to detail than a similar size car in bad condition (which hauls around a family of five, and hasn’t been detailed in years).

Your expectations

Expectations can be classified into two categories:

• Reasonable – “I want my car to look better than it does right now. I understand the limitations... Please do what you possibly can.”

• Unreasonable – “I want my car looking perfect. I won’t accept anything less than that.”

Your expectations play a crucial role on how much you will ultimately pay for having your car interior detailed.

Here’s why:

If you expect a car that has never been detailed to come out looking perfect – every stain taken out, every strain of dog hair gone, no bad odours, etc. – you should expect to pay a much higher price than if you were looking for just a significant improvement.

Furthermore, because of your unreasonable expectations, it is likely that you will be disappointed by the results, regardless of how much effort and skill the car detailer will put into detailing your car interior.

Why should you get your car interior detailed in Vancouver?

FACT #1: Each day you don’t do anything about it, dirt degrades and devalues your car.

Dirt left sitting on your car degrades and scratches the finish, making it look dull and unattractive. Glass gets covered with an oil-sticky film, making it difficult for you to see, especially at night. Dirty leather seats fade and crack, leading to costly repairs. Every moment you wait, your car wears out faster!

FACT #2: While you are in there, how do the surfaces feel?

Oily residues from the air, clothes, and hands, are drying onto the materials.  Slightly sticky, they grab dirt and lock it on. Through a process called “oxidation” soils bond with the surfaces, causing color change, and becoming permanently attached. If you wait too long, you are throwing away the key to unlocking dirt and oil from interior and exterior surfaces of your car. Clean before discoloration sets in! The longer you wait between cleanings, the more soil becomes permanent.

FACT #3: Is the air inside starting to smell stale? Great News!

Pollutants in the air filter through your carpet and fabrics. The carpet traps them so you don’t breathe them in over and over. But what happens when that trap gets full? Your family starts breathing dust mite debris, pollens, pollutants, fungus, spores, bacteria and a long list of other really gross stuff. Once your carpet’s and fabrics’ natural filtering ability get full, it is time for a thorough cleaning for your health’s sake.

And as if all this was not enough...

Your car could also be full of health-destroying dust mites!

The dust mites are microscopic relatives of the spiders and scorpions, and live on carpet and fabric. They are too small to be seen with the human eye.

So small that...

A square meter of carpet can shelter over 100,000 dust mites!

Just a single gram of dust (about half of teaspoon) contains approximately a thousand (1,000) dust mites and over two hundred and fifty thousand (250,000) allergenic dust mite fecal pellets.

And every time you step on the carpet, or sit on the seat, the dust in your car is stirred up. From there, it finds its way into your mouth and nose, and ends up in your lungs.

Studies show that, in North America, over twenty million people are allergic to dust mites. Symptoms are similar to the ones from pollen allergies (and just as annoying): red-itchy eyes, sneezing and runny-stuffy nose.

Reality is you cannot get rid of dust mites completely, but you can control and reduce their numbers. And if you have young children or anyone in your family has asthma, COPD or a respiratory issue, you’ll want to take every step to control them.
