Auto Detailing — Interior & Exterior Care in Edmonton
What is Auto Detailing?
Auto detailing is a deep clean and refresh for your vehicle inside and out. It goes far beyond a quick wash — covering paint, wheels, glass, plastics, leather, and fabric so your car looks cleaner, feels better to drive, and holds up longer in real conditions.
At Paint Protection Film, our detailing work is built around local driving realities: gravel, road salt, slush, and dusty summers. We use safe products and careful methods on every surface, helping you stay ahead of stains, buildup, and wear.
Exterior Care
Removes road film, brake dust, salt, and fallout while bringing back shine.
Interior Cleaning
Vacuuming, stain treatment, and odor control for a fresh, tidy cabin.

Auto Detailing Process
We follow a step-by-step approach so you know what happens from drop-off to pick-up.
Initial Inspection
We look over the vehicle with you, note problem areas, and talk about what you’d like us to focus on.
Pre-Wash & Decontamination
Road film, bug splatter, tar, and loose debris are removed using pH-neutral cleaners and gentle tools.
Exterior Cleaning
Paint, glass, wheels, and tires are washed and rinsed using proper methods to reduce swirls.
Interior Cleaning
We vacuum seats and carpets, wipe down hard surfaces, treat stains where possible, and clean glass.
Paint & Trim Polishing
Light polishing helps reduce minor swirls and restores depth and gloss on painted and plastic surfaces.
Final Review
We do a walkthrough with you and make sure key areas meet your expectations before you drive away.

How often should I get my car detailed in Edmonton?
Most Edmonton drivers do well with a full detail every 3–6 months, depending on how often they drive, where they park, and how much winter and construction-zone driving they see. Some choose lighter upkeep visits in between for vacuuming and quick exterior care.
What’s the difference between a car wash and detailing?
A basic wash focuses on exterior dirt. Detailing covers far more — deep interior cleaning, careful exterior washing, decontamination, and, when included, polishing and protection. The goal is to clean, refresh, and help preserve surfaces, not just rinse them.
Can detailing remove scratches from my paint?
Light marks and swirls can often be reduced or softened through polishing. Deeper scratches that you can feel with a fingernail usually need paint repair or more advanced correction. We can point out what is realistic when we inspect the vehicle.
How long does a detailing appointment take?
Timing depends on the package and vehicle size. A basic interior and exterior refresh can take around 3–4 hours. More in-depth work with polishing or heavily soiled interiors can run 6–8 hours or more. We’ll give you an estimate when you book.
Do you offer interior-only or exterior-only services?
Yes. You can book full, interior-only, or exterior-only detailing. Many Edmonton drivers choose interior-only in winter and more complete packages in spring to recover from salt and slush.
