[See maintenance plans](https://rotesandroses.com/maintenance-plans/) Blow-out, vacuum, wipe, then steam The interior was blown out and vacuumed. Seats, doors, and crevices were wiped down. The most-used spots got a steam treatment, then a light protectant to prolong the one already on the car. [View our recent work](https://rotesandroses.com/recent-work/) One visit ## A full detail costs less than booking the inside and outside apart Express Inside & Out is the full Express Interior and the full Express Exterior in one appointment, for less than the pair. Executive Inside & Out does the same with both Executive services. A sedan or coupe starts from $234.99 on Express and $444.99 on Executive, and we confirm the total before we start. What a full detail saves against booking the interior and exterior separately, from starting prices: | Package | Sedan or coupe | SUV or truck | Van or XL | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Express Inside & Out | $44.99 | $57.98 | $79.58 | | Executive Inside & Out | $64.99 | $115.00 | $153.48 | [Compare packages](https://rotesandroses.com/auto-detailing/) Compare ## Express and Executive protect the car for different lengths of time | Detail | Express Inside & Out | Executive Inside & Out | | --- | --- | --- | | Time | About 3.5 hours for a sedan | 6 hours to a full day.

Executive Inside & Out adds the fuel-door detail, and we do a final walk-around and refine the finish before we pack up. Selling or turning in a lease ## Book the full detail before a sale or a lease inspection Express Inside & Out is a common lease turn-in. The cabin and the paint get done in one appointment. Book it the same week as the sale or inspection, or the week before at the latest, so dirt doesn't build back up. [See recent work](https://rotesandroses.com/recent-work/) Not included ## The engine bay and glass coating aren't in a full detail. Signature adds both. A full detail doesn't include the engine bay. You can add an [Engine Bay Detail](https://rotesandroses.com/specialty-services/) from $99.99, about 45 to 90 minutes, degreased and dressed with sensitive electronics and intakes protected. Express Signature and Executive Signature add the engine bay and a ceramic glass coating to the full detail, and the cards above show the prices.

Photos of both help Julian plan the order, confirm the scope, and leave enough time for the parts that need attention. ### Show both halves of the job Send the seats, footwells, cargo area, wheels, and paint in daylight. Mention the spill behind the seat or the rough panel even if it does not show clearly in the photo. ### Match the tier to the condition Express handles routine interior and exterior care. Executive adds extraction and full steam inside, with clay, iron removal, and ceramic sealant outside. Describe the condition before choosing a tier. ### Name a deadline early Tell us if the appointment is before a sale, road trip, or lease inspection. We can discuss the visible priorities and timing. Detailing cannot guarantee an inspection outcome or repair damaged trim and paint. ### Check additions before doubling up Engine bay care and ceramic glass coating are included in Signature packages. If you want those alongside a full detail, compare the package scope before adding separate services. Common questions ## Before you book. ### Why book a full detail instead of two visits? A full detail puts inside and out on the same day so the car is finished in one appointment. It also costs less than booking Express Interior and Express Exterior as separate trips. ### [How long will a full detail take?](https://rotesandroses.com/blog/how-long-mobile-car-detailing-takes/) Express Inside & Out is about 3.5 hours for a typical sedan; larger vehicles and heavier soil take longer. Executive Inside & Out starts at about six hours and *can* run a full day. Vehicle size, condition, pet hair, staining, access, and weather can change the time. ### What is included in a full detail? Express Inside & Out combines Express Interior and Express Exterior, plus jambs and glass. Executive Inside & Out is the complete visit: full extraction and steam inside, [clay and chemical decontamination outside](https://rotesandroses.com/blog/bug-and-tar-removal-after-road-trip/) , and a longer-lasting premium protectant as standard. ### Why does Executive cost more than other deep details? It goes beyond a regular clay bar and a spray sealant. Past everything already included in our Express packages, Executive adds chemical decontamination outside, details the fuel door and all jambs, a full wheel treatment, cleans the headliner and vents, and adds full interior steam cleaning and extraction. 3-to-6-month protection inside, and up to one year ceramic sealant outside. It can take between six hours and a full day. The price is confirmed before we start. ### [Is the starting price the final price?](https://rotesandroses.com/blog/mobile-car-detailing-prices-budget-vs-premium/) Starting prices are for a sedan or coupe in serviceable condition; larger vehicles cost more. We confirm the price after reviewing the vehicle, location, requested finish, and any photos you provide. On an Express, pet hair is an add-on: $40 light, $65 medium, or $90 heavy. On an Executive, light pet hair is covered, medium is $25, and heavy is $55. Trash removal adds $20 or $45, depending on the amount. Mention it when you book. ### How much is a full car detail for an SUV, truck, or van? Express Inside & Out starts from $294.99 for an SUV or truck and $344.99 for a van or XL. Executive Inside & Out starts from $504.98 and $594.99. We confirm the total before we start. ### Should I get a full detail before selling my car or returning a lease? Express Inside & Out is a common booking before a lease turn-in. It does the cabin and the paint in one appointment. Book it the same week, or the week before at the latest, so dirt doesn't build back up. ### Does a full detail include the engine bay? No. You can add an Engine Bay Detail from $99.99, or book Signature, which adds the engine bay and a ceramic glass coating to the full detail. ### Is a full detail the same as paint correction or a ceramic coating? No. A full detail cleans and protects the car inside and out. Paint correction and ceramic coatings are quoted separately. ### How long does the protection last after a full detail? With Express, the interior protectant lasts about a month and the spray wax sealant 2 to 3 months. With Executive, the interior protectant lasts 3 to 6 months and the ceramic sealant up to one year.
