Mobile detailing is exactly what it sounds like – a professional service that brings top-to-bottom car detail directly to your location. These services have become more and more popular over the years as people look to spend a little bit more money in exchange for time saved. Some companies offer full-blown car washes, packing a portable pressure washer into a well-equipped van. This option delivers a thorough and traditional wash, getting your car squeaky clean from top to bottom. Because these services have more equipment and overhead needs, they’re more expensive than the next option.

A waterless wash opens a new window and uses a highly lubricated formula with mild cleaning agents to clean your car’s surface without a hose and bucket. Traditionally these products have carried some risk of paint damage, but recent advances in technology allow modern products to encapsulate dirt and grit to be wiped away without scratching. As long as the detailing company uses precaution, and your car isn’t too dirty, a waterless wash will get your car looking amazing at less of a premium than the traditional method.

With an exterior-only wash, you’re on your own regarding those dirty floorboards and the loose French fry you dropped earlier in the week.

If you’re a meticulous person this is a great option, because you don’t need to find time to hand off the keys and the service is cheaper.
