Detail Pals · Service
A gentle two-bucket hand wash — with real protection on top.
Short answer
Service fit
Exterior-only bookings convert best when the cabin is already clean enough.
Choose this when
Detail Pals uses the two-bucket method, dedicated wheel and paint mitts, pH-balanced soaps, and paint-safe drying. No conveyor scratches. No skipped wheel wells. No forgotten door jambs.
We finish every exterior wash with a spray sealant that adds hydrophobic protection and a clean sheen for 4-6 weeks — long enough to matter for Alberta drivers.

Before you book
Starting prices help you compare options. Final pricing is confirmed after the vehicle, access, travel, and add-ons are reviewed.
Send the request first. We confirm the final price before locking in the appointment.
Parking, access, water/power, travel distance, and weather are checked before service day.
We follow up by phone or text so you know the plan, arrival window, and next step.
The job is reviewed before we call it complete, especially for stains, salt, pet hair, and gloss work.
FAQ
Straight answers before you book.
Yes. Automatic washes use brushes or dirty recirculated water that can micro-scratch paint. We use fresh water, dedicated mitts per panel, and touchless drying wherever possible.
No — a spray sealant is a quick protective layer good for a few weeks. Ceramic coating is a different service we don't currently offer.
Yes, above freezing and where we have access to a warm garage or driveway near a working outdoor faucet. Below -10°C we typically reschedule for a better day.

A car wash removes surface dirt quickly. Car detailing is a deeper cleaning and protection process for paint, wheels, glass, trim, carpets, seats, and interior surfaces. If the vehicle has salt stains, pet hair, dull paint, odor, or resale prep needs, detailing is the better choice.
Read guideCalgary car detailing currently costs $99-$249 for main Detail Pals packages. Quick Refresh starts at $99, Interior Essential starts at $119, Interior Deep Clean is now $179, Exterior Wash & Protect is now $100, and Complete Detail is now $249. Add-ons like pet-hair removal, salt-stain treatment, and clay bar decontamination range from $39-$249.
Read guideDuring Alberta winter, plan for an interior detail every 4-6 weeks and an exterior wash + sealant every 2-3 weeks. Salt is corrosive — regular washing protects paint, and interior extraction lifts salt stains before they set permanently.
