Why does a detail cost more than a $15 drive-through car wash?
Think of it like this: A drive-through car wash is like brushing your teeth. You do it regularly to keep things fresh.
A professional detail? That’s like going to the dentist for a deep clean, scaling, and whitening.
A tunnel wash uses the same giant, spinning brushes on your car that just slapped the mud off a dozen off-road trucks right before you. It misses the cracks, leaves a layer of film, and can scratch your clear coat.
When you book a detail—even a standard package—you aren't paying for a quick spray. You’re paying for hours of meticulous, hands-on labor, specialized tools, and chemical engineering that safely breaks down grime, neutralizes odors, and actually resets your vehicle's surfaces back to baseline.
One keeps it tolerably clean for a few days; the other resets and protects your investment. Which does your ride need?
