The Complete Vehicle Detailing Solution
Full detailing is more than just a cleaning process. This service available at Des Moines Auto Detail is a comprehensive car care service that goes beyond surface grime.

My full detailing process includes both interior and exterior detailing, all designed to enhance and preserve your vehicle's appearance. The exterior detailing work includes a thorough wash, clay bar decontamination to remove all grime from the paint, and more. Every nook and cranny of your interior is also cleaned and vacuumed to bring back the new car smell.

It's all in the details
At Des Moines Auto Detail, we don’t just install tint, ceramic coatings, and conduct paint enhancement/paint correction. We take the same care of your vehicle when we do auto detailing Des Moines IA service as any of our other signature services. Much like our ceramic coating and window tint, we only detail one vehicle at a time and keep you informed the entire time. DMAD treats your vehicle, no matter the type, like the most important item in our shop at that time – because it is.

What is the difference between auto detailing and car washing?
There is a big difference between auto detailing/car detailing and car washing. Here at Des Moines Auto Detail you will see a massive difference between the two! At DMAD, we don’t offer “car washing” – only car detailing/auto detailing. Car washing is a service where a vehicle is cleaned using specialized equipment, such as high-pressure water jets and brushes. Maybe, you have seen our videos and articles about why this is bad for your paint. The goal of a car wash is to remove dirt and grime from the exterior of a vehicle. Car washes can be self-service, where the customer washes the vehicle themselves using equipment and products provided by the car wash, or they can be full-service, where the car wash employees do the washing and drying.
Of course, we never recommend using one of the many automatic/automated car washes in the Des Moines/West Des Moines/Urbandale area. These automatic car wash tunnels, such as Mister Car Wash, Rocket Car Wash, or Champion Car Wash have attractive monthly plans, but they will cost you thousands of dollars in damage in the long run.

Auto detailing Des Moines IA
In general, a car wash is a more basic service that focuses on cleaning the exterior of the vehicle, while an auto detail/car detail is a more comprehensive service that includes both interior and exterior cleaning, as well as other detailing tasks like polishing and a ceramic coating (if desired). Instead of a basic car wash, we are cleaning door jambs, door hinges, cup holders, seat rails, under seats – you name it! Fortunately, this is what makes our auto detailing Des Moines IA service in West Des Moines/Ankeny/Urbandale the best!

Do you wax or add sealant as part of auto detailing Des Moines IA service?
While we conduct traditional auto detailing Des Moines IA service, our primary focus is ceramic coatings, and paint correction. Of course, we only install and use products that we fully believe in. And, naturally, we believe in ceramic coating. We encourage you to add ceramic coating rather than waxes or sealants to your auto detailing in the Des Moines/Urbandale/West Des Moines/Ankeny area.
This is because waxes and sealants are a little more outdated than ceramic coating. Therefore, we encourage ceramic coating instead. Our one-year ceramic coating option with no wheel faces and no glass surfaces is $149 and lasts an entire year. This is our most-selected ceramic coating option when combined with interior/exterior auto detailing Des Moines IA service.
-
Can you conduct an interior ceramic coating to make future interior auto detailing Des Moines IA service easier?
Interior ceramic coating combined with auto detailing Des Moines IA service is a very popular option. The reason interior ceramic coating is so popular is that it provides UV protection, and most importantly – stain resistance. Are you a family with kids that are always spilling things and staining fabric and leather? Well, ceramic coating makes future interior auto detailing Des Moines IA service so much easier.
Interior ceramic coating is also great for lighter-colored vehicle interiors such as white leather or cream-colored carpet. Our hands, arms ans shoes naturally get these areas dirty, including steering wheels and arm rests. Ceramic coating after auto detailing is going to make that cleanup THAT much easier.
-
Would you like us to conduct paint correction/polishing to enhance shine even more after your auto detailing Des Moines service?
Are you satisfied with the way your paint looks? Or, is it swirled from car washing and/or does it look bad in the sun? Did the car dealership wash the car improperly before you even took delivery? We have a solution for you! Regularly, at HHCC, we polish vehicles back to their original (or better) shine! When your paint gets swirled enough, it will even appear to be a different color (especially if it’s dark in color)!
This is why many people choose to have us conduct a paint correction and ceramic coating in conjunction with one another!
At Des Moines Auto Detail, we have several options for polishing, ranging from $500 to $1000, depending upon the work’s complexity and desired perfection level you want to achieve!
Full Detailing - Frequently Asked Questions
-
How does full detailing differ from a car wash?
A car wash focuses on the exterior of your vehicle, using water and soap to remove dirt and grime from the surface and wheels. In contrast, a full detailing service is much more comprehensive, addressing both the interior and exterior of your vehicle with a variety of tools and products. All combined, these efforts clean and enhance all surface areas. Full detailing not only removes deeper dirt and stains but also helps to maintain the vehicle's condition, potentially increasing its resale value.
-
Should I remove my personal items from my vehicle before my appointment?
Yes, this would be tremendously helpful. I generally ask all customers to please remove all personal items from the vehicle before your full detailing appointment. This ensures that I can thoroughly clean every area of your interior without the obstruction of belongings. This also improves the efficiency of your service as I will not have to move anything around and I can get right to cleaning.
-
Will full detailing remove any paint defects?
My full detailing services are designed to thoroughly clean the exterior of your vehicle, but they do not include the removal of scratches/imperfections from the vehicle's paint. If you find that you need to address certain scratches and surface imperfections in your paint, consider booking a paint correction service in addition to your full detailing service. Paint correction specifically targets and removes scratches, restoring the vehicle's paint to a smoother and more pristine condition.
