If you care deeply about your car, a standard car wash probably won’t cut it for you. The car wash works great in a pinch, but if you’re looking for a more thorough clean to treat the inside and outside of your vehicle, an auto detailing service is what you’re after.
In this post, we’re highlighting everything included in an auto detailing service – the ultimate treatment for your car. But first, how does a car wash compare with car detailing?
Car Detailing vs. Car Wash
When it comes to keeping your car clean, there are levels to the game. The drive-through car wash occupies the bottom wrung, providing a quick clean without human attention. You also have to worry about exposure to harsh chemicals, low quality brushes, and high-pressure water – all of which can cause damage. Plus you’ll notice missed areas and mineral deposits from poor rinsing.
While a car wash is quick and easy, you’ll certainly get what you pay for. On the other hand, an auto detailing is a spa-like treatment for your vehicle. It’s the best of the best. An experienced auto detailer will return your vehicle to former showroom glory with the most comprehensive and thorough cleaning your car has even seen.
So, what’s included?
Exterior Detailing
An exterior clean is what will help your vehicle turn heads. At Mill Bay Auto Spa, we offer exterior detailing services in two packages – Basic and Full. Here’s a breakdown:
Basic Exterior Cleaning
Our basic exterior clean will have your ride looking brand new. It all starts with a meticulous hand wash, which includes scrubbing of the tires and all emblems and badges. We’ll also use a special cleaner for all the glass. Once everything is squeaky clean, we hand dry everything to ensure no water marks or deposits are left behind. Finally, we’ll give the tires and all black plastics a special treatment to make them shine again.
Price
- $69 for a car
- $109 for a truck, van, or large SUV
Full Exterior Cleaning
The full exterior clean takes things to the next level. With more time and attention to detail, you can be assured that this detailing package is the most thorough you can buy. It all starts the same – with a meticulous hand wash and dry, including the tires, emblems and glass.
What sets this service apart is the additional cleaning. This package includes an undercarriage wash – perhaps the dirtiest area of your vehicle. Then we’ll clean your wheel wells, which is another famously dirty spot. We’ll also deal with any iron deposits and clay bar contamination. Finally, we’ll make sure both sides of all glass is clean, and leave your car with a beautiful graphene coating that will not only protect but make your ride shine.
Price
- $199 for a car
- $249 for a truck, van, or large SUV
Interior Detailing
For many, the vehicle interior requires just as much love as the outside. With kids, sports, work and pets, vehicle interiors don’t stay clean for long. At Mill Bay Auto Spa, we take things way further than quick vacuum. Here’s what our service packages look like:
Basic Interior Cleaning
Our Basic Interior Cleaning package will transform the inside of your car. We’ll kick things off with a thorough vacuum clean, but that’s just the start. We’ll then wipe down every surface including the windows, door jambs, seats, doors, dash and console. We’ll even blow the vents out to clear any dust and debris.
Price
- $99 for a car
- $149 for a truck, van, or large SUV
Full Interior Cleaning
The Full Interior Cleaning is the most luxurious treatment available, which will return every surface to pristine condition and give you that new car feel all over again. In this process, we’ll remove the seats so we can get as thorough as possible with the vacuum. We’ll then steam all interior surfaces and use a special shampoo when necessary. UV protection will be applied to all vinyl surfaces, and our VIP leather treatment for all leather. Every single crack and crevice of your vehicle’s interior will be cleaned.
Price
- $199 for a car
- $249 for a truck, van, or large SUV

If you’re ready to spare no expense for the ultimate all-inclusive spa treatment for your vehicle, we’d like to present ‘The Works’. This package includes the very best from both our Full Interior and Full Exterior cleaning services, resulting in seriously luxurious clean with not a nook or cranny left unturned.
The Works includes a complete car vacuum and full wipe down of every interior surface. Our team will scrub the door jambs, floor mats – every crack and crevice. We’ll shampoo as needed and steam clean all your interior surfaces. Heading outside, your ride will get the full treatment there as well, highlighted by an ultracareful hand wash and dry.
