Auto detailing is a deep clean and a layer of protection for your whole car. It goes well past a normal wash. DetailBroski brings this service to your home or office anywhere in San Diego.
We split detailing into two halves. The inside gets vacuumed, shampooed, and steamed. The outside gets washed, clayed, polished, and sealed. Put them together and your car looks and feels close to new.
What detailing fixes that a wash cannot
A wash takes off loose dirt. Detailing pulls out the stuff that sticks: tar, tree sap, baked-on bugs, and the bonded grime that San Diego freeways leave behind.
Inside, detailing lifts stains out of carpet and cloth, cleans every vent and crack, and clears out smells. The cabin ends up fresh, not just tidy.
How our weather wears a car down
San Diego sun is strong almost all year. It bakes the dash, fades the paint, and dries out leather and vinyl. Detailing adds back conditioner and a layer of protection that a plain wash cannot.
Salt air off the Pacific drifts inland for miles. It leaves a fine film on glass and chrome and speeds up rust under the car. A deep clean clears that film and treats the spots a wash never reaches.
Then there is daily grime from the freeways. Tar, bug splatter, and brake dust bond to the lower panels along the 8 and the 163. Detailing pulls that bonded mess off so the paint feels smooth again.
Interior and exterior, both covered
Our full detail splits into two clear parts. The inside gets a deep vacuum, a shampoo on the carpets and seats, and steam on the vents and seams. We wipe and condition the dash, doors, and console so the cabin feels fresh.
The outside gets a hand wash, a clay treatment, a polish to cut light swirls, and a wax or sealant to guard the paint. We finish the wheels, tires, and glass so the whole car looks sharp from every angle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a wash and detailing?
A wash cleans the surface. Detailing is a deep clean plus protection for both the inside and the paint, and it takes much longer.
How often should I get my car detailed?
In San Diego, a full detail every three to six months keeps up with the sun and salt air. Heavy users may want it more often.
Can you remove stains and smells?
Yes. We shampoo and steam-clean to lift most stains and clear common smells, including pet and smoke odors.
Do you come to me?
Yes. Auto detailing is fully mobile. We work at your home, apartment, or job site.
How long does a full detail take?
A full detail usually takes three to five hours, depending on the size and condition of the car.
Does detailing help resale value?
It does. A clean, well-kept car with strong paint shows better and tends to sell for more.
Can you get my car ready to sell?
Yes. A full detail is one of the cheapest ways to lift a car's resale value. We deep clean the cabin, polish the paint, and dress the trim so the car shows well in photos and in person. Many San Diego sellers book us right before they list.
Do you clean pet hair and beach sand?
Yes. Pet hair, beach sand, and crumbs are some of the most common messes we see here. We use special tools to pull hair out of carpet and seats, and we vacuum every crack so sand from the bays does not keep showing up later.
