What to Expect for Each Package
If you’re planning to book a professional car detail, one of the first questions that comes to mind is: How long will it take? The answer depends on the type of service you choose, your vehicle’s condition, and whether you’re getting interior, exterior, or full-service detailing.
In this post, we break down how long different types of detailing services typically take, what affects the time, and how to choose the right package for your needs — whether you’re short on time or ready for a deep transformation.
Why Car Detailing Takes Longer Than a Car Wash
A traditional car wash can take 10–15 minutes. But auto detailing is much more thorough and customized — it involves careful hand-cleaning, stain removal, surface restoration, and protection applications that require both skill and patience.
Detailing is about quality over speed, and that’s what makes the results last longer and look significantly better.
Average Time for Each Type of Detailing Service
At WT Mobile Auto Detailing, we offer multiple detailing packages to suit different needs and budgets. Here’s what you can expect in terms of time commitment for each:
Interior Packages
Essential Sparkle Package
Time Estimate: 45–60 minutes
Quick yet meticulous vacuuming, wipe-down of surfaces, and power-washing of mats.
Signature Refresh Package
Time Estimate: 1.5–2 hours
Includes deep carpet and mat cleaning with foam treatment and deodorizing.
Elite Revitalize Package
Time Estimate: 2.5–3.5 hours
Full interior restoration for fabric and suede upholstery with advanced drying. We recommend waiting at least 5 hours post-service before regular use.
Exterior Packages
Radiant Rinse Package
Time Estimate: 45 minutes to 1 hour
Full hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, and spot-free hand drying.
Gleaming Guard Package
Time Estimate: 1.5–2 hours
Includes hand wash, wax application, exterior trim correction, and glass polishing for long-term shine and protection.
Full Interior + Exterior Detail
Time Estimate: 3–5 hours
A full detail includes both interior and exterior services, often with upgrades like wax, stain removal, or engine bay cleaning. Heavily used vehicles, pet hair, or excess buildup may extend this timeframe.
Factors That May Affect Detailing Time
- Vehicle Size: SUVs, trucks, and minivans typically take longer than sedans or coupes.
- Condition of the Vehicle: Heavily soiled interiors, pet hair, or excessive grime require more attention.
- Upgrades or Add-Ons: Services like pet hair removal, engine bay cleaning, or headlight restoration can add 15–45 minutes.
- Weather Conditions: Outdoor mobile detailing may take longer in extreme heat, cold, or wind due to drying and product curing times.
