A thorough professional interior car detailing typically takes 2-3 hours for standard size cars and SUVs. For larger vehicles, dirty interiors, or detailing of the cargo area, it can take 4 hours or longer.
Key Steps in Interior Detailing Process
- Complete interior vacuum – seats, carpet, crevices
- Steam cleaning upholstery and mats
- Pressure air dusting of all vents and tight spaces
- Cleaning and conditioning leather/vinyl/plastic surfaces
- Polishing and protecting all interior glass
- Shampooing carpets, trunk, and cargo area
- Odor removal and disinfection treatments
Factors that Impact Time Needed
- Vehicle size – Larger interiors take longer
- Level of soiling – Heavily soiled interiors require more stain removal
- Extra services – Add time for pet hair removal, fabric protection application, headliner cleaning, etc.
- Vehicle access – Tight spaces can prolong time needed to clean thoroughly
