Gold Service Detail
​
The truth is that every vehicle is truly unique and a "one size fit all" approach to detailing is unrealistic. The reality is that a professional like myself could literally spend an entire week or month detailing your vehicle to complete perfection. This is both unrealistic and inappropriate for virtually everyone and every vehicle.
I have found that the Gold service is both the appropritate and realistic approach for 98% of my customers. If you accept the fact that not only is every vehicle is different in size, color, and condition then you can understand how detailing is truly not a "one size fits all" kind of moment.
Experience has taught me that every person comes to the table with very different understanding of what detailing is and what it entails. For some people, it is more like a glorified wash and wax. For others it means restoring a vehicle to mint condition regardless of time and effort required to do so.

Interior Detail Only Service Manu:
Marty's note: The Critical part of my vehicle detailing prices is that I give a starting point. the obvious reason is that not all vehicles are created equal as not all vehicles are equally dirty.
​
I have an exceptionally critical eye. Trained to dissect the tiniest of nuances and find that most people don't require that level of service on which most people lack the ability to discern the difference. This is a kind way of saying" if you can't appreciate, understand, or see it, then why pay for it". Also the package above will acconmmodate 98% of my costomer base, with the last 2% being unique individuals with a hyper critical eye who truly demand and can appreciate the enless nuances and details that most people would glaze over.
​
I am a flexable individual and understand that ultimately I not only work for you, but its your world, your money, and your vehicle. When I show up for our scheduled detail appointment I will spend the initial first few minutes to look over and discuss and specific concerns you may have and asses your top priorties along with your specific budget.
​
With every car there are always areas or way to save time and money if you as the vehicle owner are not overly concerned with these areas, a trunk as one such example, And as a person, you may simpy prefer to stick to an exact budget and allow me to deliver the best service based on your budget and particular areas of concern. As a Rule, I operate though it is my vehicle and my money being spent, and deliver service accordingly.
Once again, I always perform with the goal to develop long term relationships and over delivering has always proven to be effective stratage for this.
Additional items to consider that will affect pricing:
​
-
Pet hair. (this can be a nightmare to deal with and largely depends on the type of fabric and the actual pet hair)
​​
-
Cigarette smoker. (cigarette smoke will/can greatly increase the amount of time to properly clean and deodorize your vehicles interior. No single solution can completely remove the residual smell of cigarette smoke)
​​
-
Heavy duty headliner cleaning. (as a rule, headliners and sun visors are spot cleaned. if your headliner is exceptionally dirty, addional coat may be required.)
​​
-
Excessive dirt. (one persons idea of clean is another persons description of filth. Excessive liquid spills and dirt will be duly noted and may require additional expense.)
​​
-
Convertible cars. (if you own a convertible and actually drive with the top down, the same dirt and dust that collects and accumlates on inside of your vehicle adding a greater level of dirt that must be cleaned in the interior detailing process. This may result in additional cost of detailing process.)
​​
-
If your car is 5 years and older and never been maintained properly
​​
-
Your car has been detailed by a low budget detailer that has applied industrial strength dressings to the interior that has now accumulated dirt and dust in the interior. This will require extra effort in order to clean this greasy, dirty build up as a result from using a cheap detail service. (most commonly found at your local car wash)
Special notes:
​
Please note the following for additional information regarding vehicle detailing prices:
​
-
Convertibles add on additional $25-$50 to the noted prices depending on condition of vehicle. (why you ask? Well, you see all that dirt that accumulates on the outside of your vehicle? When you have a convertible and actually drive with the top down, that dirt accumulates on the inside and makes your convertible that much more difficult when detailing the inside of your vehicle. This is case by case judgement call that we will asses both over the phone and time of appointment.)
​​
-
Cash Only any first time customers. ( Yes, once again the few have ruined it for many.)
​​
-
Want to maximize your spending dollar with Virtuous Detailing? Have your vehicle washed a day or two prior to our appointment time. Yes you read that correctly. This way you pay us to do what we do best and that is professional detailing not car washing. The reality is that any detail job will require any superficial dirt to be removed or wash prior to any real detail work can be performed. This is not required, just a suggestions if you like to get the most out of your money with our services. Most people appreciate the concern we take in advising you on how to get them most for your money, one of many ways we strive to ever-increase the value we deliver as a company.
Additional Detailing Prices
See the below sections regarding additional services that may be a diffirent area of car detailing in general, or are what is considered add on's to the above car detailing prices.
​
​
Auto Engine Detail:
​
As a rule, an additional charge of $35-$50 to degrease/detail your engine in addition to the quoted car detailing prices from above. But just like car detailing in general, numerous factors should be taken into consideration when assesing whether you want you car engine detailed. I can do a quick degreaseing and call it quits, or i can spend the time to detail the undersjde of the hood and meticulously detail not only the engine itself, but the surrounding bay area.
​
Boat Detailing:
​
Traditional boat detailing is $15-$25.00 per footbased on condition, this includes inside and outside. (Gel coat/fiberglass polishing or restoration is extra and is by quote)
​
Jet Ski/Wave Runner: $200.00 Per Machine, Complete Wash, Oxidation Removal, and Wax.
​
Motorcycle:
​
Motorcycle can be hard to price out, there are so many variables to consider. How often its been kept clean and detailed properly, how much its driven, is it stored in doors when not in use, and carbon build up. Also your desirable amount of perfection you want to achieve. But typically I will charge $50.00 a hour usually will take 4 to 5 hours.
​
​
Puke Removal:
The Call Comes In
After almost vomiting yourself from the horrendous lingering smell of vomit, you decide to call for help; which is exactly what I can do. Not only do people underestimate how deep or far the vomit has seeped into every fibrous piece of cloth and carpeting, but also don't realize how this bodily product is able to penetrate the tiniest of cracks and seems of your car; all of which make vomit clean up so difficult in the first place.
​
What To Do
Regardless of the stage of this vomit mess you find yourself looking online for help, use the following points as a guide with your odoriferous vomit misfortune:
​
-
Do not dump a bunch of baking soda onto the vomit thinking this is a smart move; it is not.
​​
-
Often vomit will be colored with bright colors from wine, candy, food, etc. This almost assuredly will create a stain in your upholstery, so time is of the essence.
​​
-
Clean up "chunks" first by scooping with spoon. Do not be overly concerned with rubbing or grinding the vomit deeper into the carpeting or cloth; that moment has passed.
​​
-
Use soda water by pouring onto area and then blot up excess with rag; repeat as many times as necessary to remove coloring from vomit clean up.
​​
-
These are the first and obvious steps to clean vomit from car only.
​​
-
There will be a point where you will not be able to get any further; eg. seams of interior parts, seat hardware, vents, etc. ​
Regardless of when I get the call does not matter. The following charges apply as listed:
​
24 Hour Emergency Response
$150.00 for the service call including the first half hour of work; $95.00 an hour there after.
​
A.S.A.P. Response
$100.00 for the first half hour; $85.00 an hour there after.
