Car detailing isn't one single service - it's a menu of specific treatments, each solving a different problem for your vehicle. Knowing which service actually addresses your car's needs (instead of guessing) saves you money and gets better results. Here's a straightforward breakdown of what Keep Clean ATX offers, what each service covers, and how to pick the right one.

Interior Detailing

Interior detailing covers everything inside the cabin: vacuuming carpets and seats, wiping down every hard surface, cleaning door jambs and vents, and treating leather or fabric upholstery. It's the right call for day-to-day upkeep, cars with pets or kids, or before a trade-in or sale. Interior Detailing starts at $69.

Exterior Detailing

Exterior detailing is a thorough hand wash, wheel and tire cleaning, and a protective wax or sealant application on the paint. It's the foundation service for keeping your car's finish protected against Austin's sun, pollen, and road grime between deeper treatments. Exterior Detailing starts at $69.

Full Detailing

Full Detailing combines the complete interior and exterior services into one appointment - the most popular option for owners who want a true top-to-bottom reset. Full Detailing starts at $329.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is a long-term paint protection layer that bonds to your car's clear coat, making it more resistant to UV damage, water spots, and minor chemical staining, while giving the paint a deep, glossy finish. It's an investment service best suited for owners who want to protect their paint for years, not just weeks. Ceramic Coating starts at $699.

Paint Correction

Paint correction uses machine polishing to remove swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation from the clear coat before any protection is applied. If your paint looks dull or hazy in direct sunlight, this is usually the fix - and it's often paired with ceramic coating for the best long-term result. Paint Correction starts at $400.

Maintenance Refresh

Maintenance Refresh is a quick in-and-out touch-up for cars that already look good and just need a reset between full details - a fast wipe-down and light clean that keeps things looking sharp without the full appointment. Maintenance Refresh starts at $69.

Odor Removal

Odor removal targets smoke, pet, mold, and mildew smells at the source rather than masking them, using deep cleaning and deodorizing treatment throughout the cabin's fabric, carpet, and vents. Odor Removal starts at $279.

Fleet Detailing

For businesses running multiple vehicles, fleet detailing brings consistent, scheduled service to every vehicle in your lineup, keeping company cars, delivery vans, and work trucks presentable on a recurring basis. Get a Fleet Detailing quote.

How to Choose

If your car just needs upkeep, start with Interior or Exterior Detailing. If it's been a while since its last deep clean, Full Detailing covers both in one visit. If you're dealing with a lingering smell, Odor Removal is the targeted fix. And if you want to protect your investment for the long haul, Paint Correction followed by Ceramic Coating is the combination most Austin drivers choose.
