Exterior Glass Polishing for Crystal-Clear Visibility

Hand Wash with Foam Cannon & Microfiber Mitts for a Scratch-Free Finish

Clay Bar Decontamination for Ultra-Smooth, Contaminant-Free Paint

Bug, Sap, Tar, and Grime Removal from Front Bumper, Hood, and Side Panels

Wax or Paint Sealant Application for Gloss and Water-Beading Protection

We start every detail with a thick layer of foam using a foam cannon to gently lift dirt and grime from your paint. Our hand wash is done with ultra-soft microfiber mitts using the two-bucket method to minimize the risk of swirl marks or scratches. We carefully clean every panel, emblem, grille, mirror, and door jamb to ensure a spotless, swirl-free surface.

After the wash, we use a professional-grade clay bar to remove embedded contaminants like brake dust, rail dust, tree sap residue, and industrial fallout that even the best wash can’t touch. This step leaves your paint glass-smooth and perfectly prepped for polishing, waxing, or ceramic coating. It’s essential for anyone wanting that next-level finish and long-term protection.

Tennessee roads can be brutal on your paint. We specialize in safely removing stuck-on bugs, road tar, tree sap, and tough grime using safe, paint-friendly products and techniques. This restores your paint clarity and prevents long-term damage and staining, especially on the front end and lower side panels that take the most abuse.

We deep-clean your wheels, barrels, and lug areas using non-acidic wheel cleaners and soft detailing brushes. Then, we finish your tires with a rich, satin gloss tire dressing (like Aqua Gloss) that restores that deep black look and adds UV protection. This step drastically boosts your vehicle’s curb appeal and keeps your tires looking fresh for weeks.

We go beyond a simple glass wipe-down — our glass polishing process removes water spots, mineral deposits, and micro-contaminants from your windshield and windows. We use fine abrasives to leave glass surfaces crystal clear, improving driving visibility and giving your car that pristine, detailed appearance from all angles.

After the surface is fully prepped, we apply a premium spray wax or synthetic paint sealant that bonds to your paint and creates a hydrophobic layer. This enhances depth, adds gloss, and provides water-beading protection for 1 to 6 months, depending on the product. It's perfect for customers who want strong protection without investing in ceramic coating.

OUR Ceramic Coating & Paint Correction Services

Professional-Grade Ceramic Coatings (2-Year, 5-Year, 7-Year & 9-Year Options)

We offer ceramic coatings for all levels of protection and durability:

2-Year Coating – Great for daily drivers wanting enhanced shine, easy maintenance, and basic UV/chemical resistance.

5-Year Coating – A more durable layer of protection with higher resistance to light scratches, bird droppings, and water spots.

7-Year Coating – Professional-level ceramic with exceptional gloss, depth, and long-term environmental defense.

9-Year Coating – Our most advanced coating designed for maximum durability, extreme hydrophobicity, and ultra-slick surface feel.

All coatings require proper paint prep and are installed with full panel wipe-downs and infrared curing (if applicable).

Paint Correction (One-Step and Two-Step Polish for Swirl Removal & Gloss)

Before any wax, sealant, or ceramic is applied, we offer paint correction services to restore your paint’s clarity:

One-Step Paint Correction – Ideal for light swirls and dull paint. We polish your vehicle with a finishing compound that enhances gloss and removes 50–70% of imperfections.

Two-Step Paint Correction – Designed for heavily swirled or oxidized paint. We start with a cutting compound, then follow up with a polish to refine the finish and remove 85–95% of imperfections.

Paint correction is key for maximizing the gloss and performance of ceramic coatings.

What’s Included in Our Interior Auto Detailing Service

Leather Seat Cleaning and Conditioning to Restore Suppleness

Full Interior Vacuuming Including Seats, Mats, Trunk & Crevices

Hot Water Carpet & Upholstery Shampoo and Extraction for Stain Removal

Vinyl, Plastic, and Trim Cleaning with UV-Protectant Dressing

Steam Cleaning of High-Touch Areas for Sanitized Surfaces

Interior Glass and Mirror Cleaning for Streak-Free Clarity

We perform a deep vacuum of your entire vehicle interior—front to back, top to bottom. This includes under the seats, floor mats, trunk, cup holders, seat pockets, and all hard-to-reach cracks and crevices. Using high-powered vacuums and narrow-tip tools, we remove dirt, crumbs, pet hair, and debris to create a clean slate for the rest of the detail.

We deep-clean all cloth surfaces—seats, carpets, and floor mats—using a heated shampoo and extraction process. This method lifts deep-seated stains, removes odors, and revives your interior fabrics. Perfect for vehicles with food spills, drink stains, pet messes, or just years of wear. We leave your interior looking, feeling, and smelling like new.

We use high-temperature steam to clean and disinfect high-touch areas like steering wheels, door handles, shifters, touchscreens, cup holders, and air vents. Steam not only lifts grime and kills bacteria but also safely cleans delicate materials without soaking them. It’s ideal for customers who prioritize cleanliness and health, especially in high-traffic family or work vehicles.

We gently clean all interior plastic, vinyl, and rubber surfaces—like your dashboard, center console, door panels, and trim—with non-greasy interior-safe cleaners. Then, we apply a UV protectant dressing to restore a rich, factory look while preventing fading, drying, or cracking caused by sun exposure. The result is a clean, dressed, and protected cabin interior.

For vehicles with leather interiors, we use pH-balanced leather cleaners to safely remove body oils, dirt, and grime. After cleaning, we apply a high-quality leather conditioner that moisturizes and protects the leather from drying, cracking, and fading. This keeps your seats soft, supple, and luxurious over time—especially crucial for vehicles exposed to sun and heat.

We clean all interior glass surfaces—front and rear windshields, side windows, mirrors, and sunroofs—with a streak-free, tint-safe glass cleaner. This removes haze, fingerprints, film, and interior condensation buildup, dramatically improving visibility and enhancing the final detail look. Clean glass inside is just as important as exterior shine for safe, clear driving.

Add-On Services for Interior Detailing

Ozone Odor Removal Treatment for Long-Lasting Freshness

INTERIOR CERAMIC COATING - Fabric Guard & Stain Repellent Protection for Upholstery and Carpets and all interior surfaces

Seatbelt and Headliner Spot Cleaning for a Truly Complete Interior

Pet Hair Removal & Deep Allergen Extraction

Our ozone generator eliminates odors at the molecular level, not just masks them. This treatment targets smoke, pet, mildew, food, and body odor by breaking down odor-causing bacteria and neutralizing them completely. Ideal for rideshare drivers, smokers, or anyone with persistent interior smells. Must be combined with a full interior cleaning.

After deep-cleaning your cloth seats, carpets, and floor mats, we apply a professional-grade fabric guard combined with an interior ceramic coating. This combo creates a hydrophobic barrier that repels spills, dirt, and stains before they can soak in. Unlike traditional protectants, interior ceramic coatings bond at the molecular level for long-lasting durability—often lasting up to a year or more.

This treatment also reduces dye transfer, makes cleanup a breeze, and protects from UV fading. Ideal for daily drivers, family vehicles, or customers who want the highest level of interior protection without sacrificing comfort or appearance.

Got stubborn pet hair or allergies? This service is for you. Our pet hair removal and allergen extraction process goes deep into carpets, seats, and upholstery to eliminate hair, dander, and dust mites. We use high-powered vacuums, brushes, and HEPA filtration tools to remove even the most embedded pet hair. Perfect for pet owners or anyone sensitive to allergens who wants a clean, fresh-smelling ride.

Most detailers skip these—but we don’t. We carefully clean dirty seatbelts and spot-treat your headliner to remove light stains and oil marks without over-saturating the material. These often-overlooked areas make a big difference in the overall cleanliness and appearance of your cabin.

Interior Glass & Trim Polishing

Revive the look and feel of your vehicle’s interior with our premium glass and plastic trim polishing service. Over time, your car’s interior glass surfaces can develop haze, light scratches, and water spots, while plastic trim like dashboards, door panels, and consoles become dull, scratched, or faded. We go beyond basic cleaning by using specialized polishes and restoration techniques designed for both materials.

Our process removes fine scratches, restores clarity to interior windows and mirrors, and brings back the original sheen of plastic and vinyl surfaces—all without greasy residue or unnatural shine. Whether you're preparing your car for resale or just want to bring back that fresh factory look, this service transforms your interior to feel newer, cleaner, and more refined.

Interior Car Detailing Knoxville TN – Frequently Asked Questions

What’s included in your interior detailing service?

Our interior detail includes vacuuming, steam cleaning, shampooing carpets and seats (cloth or leather), deep cleaning all surfaces (dash, console, vents, cupholders), and dressing plastics with UV protection. We also clean interior windows and door jambs.

How long does interior detailing take?

Most full interior details take 2–4 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. Heavily soiled interiors may take longer.

Can you remove stains and odors?

Yes, we use enzyme-based cleaners and steam extraction to treat most stains and odors. However, some deep-set stains or smoke odors may require multiple sessions.

Do you condition leather seats?

Absolutely. We clean and condition leather using pH-balanced, premium products to restore suppleness and prevent cracking.

Is interior detailing safe for sensitive electronics?

Yes – we use low-moisture steam and safe techniques to avoid damaging screens, sensors, or electronics. We take extra care around infotainment systems and gauge clusters.

Exterior Car Detailing Knoxville TN – Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between a hand wash and automatic car wash??

Automatic washes can scratch your paint with harsh brushes and reused water. Our hand wash is 100% touch-safe, using clean microfiber mitts, high-quality soaps, and separate buckets for wheels and paint.

How often should I wax or protect my car?

Traditional wax lasts 1–3 months, while synthetic sealants can last up to 6. For the best protection, we recommend ceramic coating – it can last 2–5 years with proper maintenance.

What is paint correction, and do I need it?

Paint correction is the process of removing swirl marks, oxidation, and scratches to restore gloss and clarity. If your car’s paint looks dull or has visible swirl marks, you’ll benefit from it – especially before applying ceramic coating.

Will ceramic coating make my car scratch-proof?

Not scratch-proof, but highly scratch-resistant. It helps protect against light marring, UV rays, bird droppings, and chemicals – and keeps your car cleaner longer.

Do you clean engine bays?

Yes, upon request. We degrease, safely rinse, and dress the engine bay using low-pressure techniques that protect electrical components.
