The normal description of our service is ‘car detailing’ but we at Core Car Cleaning believe our services are the best way to properly clean a vehicle. We keep the process consistent and thorough with attention to detail on every vehicle’s interior and exterior. After a Core Care Cleaning, you can drive your beauty home and walk away from your vehicle with admiration of how good it looks!

Due to the wide range of vehicle condition, our pricing can only be finalized after seeing the vehicle in-person at Core Car Cleaning. Please email [email protected] or call/text 240-586-9364 to schedule a time to stop by for a quick 5 minute estimate. This does not apply to frequent maintenance clients.

Exterior Description

An exterior detail starts with a pre-treatment with McKee’s N-914 and a touchless wash to prevent any possible scratching. This is followed by a pressure wash of the entire vehicle, wells and undercarriage. Next the wheels, wells and tires are hand cleaned with P&S Break Buster and a separate bucket/tool setup. Then the fun begins with a foam cannon of the entire vehicle with pH safe mega foam and a 2-bucket hand wash. Additional decontamination for tar or iron will be extra. The vehicle is then hand scrubbed with a clay bar/mitt to get rid of contamination on your paint. After a pressure wash rinse, the vehicle and all door jams are dried with both microfiber towels and compressed air for the nooks and crannies so there are no water spots. We then use fresh microfiber towels to apply P&S Bead Maker, a drying aid that helps provide a protectant and sheen on the paint. All the glass windows are then cleaned with Stoners Invisible glass and diamond microfiber towels, including the inside and top 1″ when the windows are lowered. All the exterior plastics will be dressed with a UV protection and a beautiful gel-free gloss. Finally, the tires will also be dressed with UV protection and a non-sling tire dressing that pops!

Interior Description

An interior detail begins with compressed air to get the larger dust and debris out of the nooks. Additional charges apply if we need to remove any personal belongings. After removing all the mats, we vacuum every square inch of the vehicle, including under the front seats, all rear seats and in the truck/storage areas. The vacuum step includes the use of fine interior brushes and specialty tools to pull up all hair as well. Additional charges apply for excessive pet hair, sand or straw. Then all the interior surfaces are scrubbed cleaned with an interior detailing product, and when necessary will be steamed cleaned to eliminate stubborn dirt. This includes all door jams as well as the trunk jam. Small component areas of the dashboard and vents are cleaned with interior brushes and cleaner to ensure the attention to detail is complete. Any minor carpet stains will be removed with P&S Carpet Bomber, if possible. All plastic and vinyl interior components will then be treated for UV protection and a natural shine. All seats will be cleaned with a soft drill brush and appropriate products depending on material. Before returning the floor mats, they are all pressure washed, drill-brush scrubbed and extracted of all dirt. Additional charges apply if carpet and fabric seats need an extraction. Finally, all the glass windows are cleaned with Stoners Invisible glass and diamond microfiber towels, including the outside and top 1″ when the windows are lowered.

Wash, Clay & Wax (Sealant)

Starting at $170

Do you need an occasional exterior “wash & wax” like they used to call it? In this exterior only service, we will provide all the same steps described above with the Exterior Description, but will add a tar remover and iron decontamination before claying the vehicle’s paint by hand. And yes, your wheel, wells and tires will also be detailed. Paint correction or polishing is not included, but can be added to this service. After a surface prep with an isopropyl alcohol to remove any prior wax/polish from a previous service, the final step will include the application of a ceramic coating silica spray formulation, such as Torque, that will provide up to 10 months of protection. Most waxes only provide 2-3 months of protection.
