A clean car doesn’t just look better...it feels better, drives better, and holds its value longer. But when most people think of cleaning their vehicle, they often stop at the surface. True detailing goes deeper, protecting your investment inside and out. Understanding the difference between interior and exterior detailing helps you get the most value out of every service.
What is Exterior Detailing?
Exterior detailing focuses on everything you can see from the outside. At Zappy’s, this includes:
-
Hand washing and drying
-
Bug, tar, and sap removal
-
Clay bar treatment to remove surface contaminants
-
Paint correction and polishing
-
Waxing or ceramic sealants for long-lasting protection
-
Tire, wheel, and trim conditioning
This process not only keeps your car looking great but protects against UV rays, oxidation, dirt, and grime buildup. Regular exterior detailing helps maintain your car’s finish and prevent long-term damage from environmental exposure.
What is Interior Detailing?
Interior detailing addresses everything inside the vehicle, focusing on cleanliness, comfort, and health. Our interior detailing services include:
-
Vacuuming carpets, mats, and upholstery
-
Stain removal from seats and floors
-
Leather or fabric conditioning
-
Deep cleaning of dash, console, and door panels
-
Air vent dusting and sanitization
-
Window and mirror cleaning
-
Odor removal and air freshening
Interior detailing improves air quality, enhances driving comfort, and helps preserve surfaces from wear and tear. It’s especially important for families, rideshare drivers, and anyone spending long hours in their car.
Why You Need Both
While each service offers its own benefits, they work best as a complete care routine. A shiny exterior creates a strong first impression, while a clean interior ensures comfort and health for every passenger.
