Which Terron Tire Detailing Package Do You Actually Need?

Start With What Actually Needs Work

Before comparing six package names, answer one simpler question: does the outside need work, the inside, or both? Exterior-only work is a hand wash and wax — it won't touch interior stains or odors. Interior-only work is a deep vacuum, fabric shampoo, and steam clean — it does nothing for the outside. Most vehicles that haven't been detailed in a while need both, which is where our full-detail tiers come in.

Every package we run is hand-washed, not tunnel-washed — automated brushes swirl and haze paint over time with repeated use, which is exactly what we're avoiding by doing every exterior wash by hand with a chamois dry. That standard applies at every price point, from the quickest Express Detail up to a full Showroom build, so a lower-tier package isn't a lower-quality wash — it's a smaller scope of work.

Exterior Only: Wash & Wax

Wash & Wax runs $120 for cars and $150 for an SUV, van, or truck. It's a genuine hand wash and chamois dry, rims cleaned and tires dressed, door jambs wiped, and premium Carnauba wax protection — nothing done to the interior. If the cabin is already clean and you just want the outside looking sharp, this is the package. A clay bar treatment can be added for $20 if the paint feels rough to the touch, which is usually a sign of embedded contaminants that a wash alone won't lift.

Interior Only: Interior Detail

Interior Detail is priced at $200 for cars, $220 for an SUV or truck, and $250 for a 7-passenger vehicle. It covers a deep vacuum with a tornado attachment, full fabric and carpet shampoo with mats cleaned, a complete interior steam clean through vents and consoles, and a full trunk vacuum and wipe-down — with nothing done to the exterior. Fabric protection or leather conditioning can be added for $15.

This is the tier we recommend most often for pet hair, spills that have had time to set, or persistent odors — the combination of the tornado vacuum and full steam clean is built specifically for the kind of embedded grime a quick vacuum leaves behind.

Full Detail: Express, Deluxe, Premium, and Showroom Compared

• Express Detail ($100 / $125) — the quickest option: exterior hand wash, interior vacuum, and surface wipe-down. No shampoo or steam cleaning — it's a refresh, not a deep clean.
• Deluxe ($240 / $275 / $325) — our most popular package: full exterior hand wash plus the complete interior steam clean, fabric shampoo, and trunk detail. Wax protection can be added for $15.
• Premium ($280 / $325 / $375) — everything in Deluxe, plus leather conditioning or fabric protection and premium wax protection included standard, for $40 more across every vehicle size.
• Showroom Package (starting at $400 / $500) — a fully custom build covering engine bay detailing, convertible top care, wheel wax, and leather reconditioning, scoped by phone rather than a fixed feature list.

Deluxe is our most-booked package for a reason: it's the point where a vehicle stops being just washed and starts being genuinely detailed, without stepping up to Premium's added leather and wax work. If you're deciding between the two, the real question is whether your interior needs conditioning and protection on top of the steam clean, or whether the steam clean alone covers what the vehicle needs.

How Pricing Scales by Vehicle Size

Every package we've listed steps up in price from cars to SUVs/trucks to vans or 7-passenger vehicles where that tier exists. That's not padding — a van or a 7-passenger SUV has meaningfully more interior surface area to vacuum, shampoo, and steam, and more exterior panel area to hand wash and wax, so the job genuinely takes longer regardless of which package you choose.

Add-Ons Worth Knowing About

• Clay bar treatment (+$20 on Wash & Wax) — worth it if the paint feels rough or gritty to the touch, which usually means embedded contaminants a normal wash won't remove.
• Hyper-shine wax protection (+$15 on Deluxe) — a step up from standard wax for extra gloss and protection.
• Fabric protection or leather conditioning (+$15 on Interior Detail) — worth considering if you have kids, pets, or a light-colored interior prone to staining.

None of these are pushed as pressure add-ons at checkout — they're listed upfront on each package so you can decide before you book whether the extra protection is worth it for your specific vehicle and how you use it.

If you're not sure whether an add-on is worth it for your specific vehicle, ask when you book rather than guessing — a technician who can see the vehicle's actual condition will usually have a clearer opinion than a generic recommendation would.

Our Recommendation by Situation

A quick refresh before a weekend trip fits Express Detail. Regular upkeep on a vehicle that's otherwise in good shape fits Wash & Wax or Deluxe. Pet hair, odors, or ground-in stains are exactly what Interior Detail or a full-detail package is built for. And if you're prepping a vehicle to sell, trade in, or show, the Showroom Package is the one built around that kind of deep, comprehensive work. See full feature lists and photos on the detailing packages page before you book.

And whichever package you land on, it's backed by the same workmanship guarantee — if something isn't right when you pick up your vehicle, let us know and we'll make it right rather than considering the job done the moment you drive off.
