The reason most daily drivers look tired isn't neglect. It's logistics.

Dropping a car at a shop costs you a half-day: ride over, wait, ride back. Busy people skip it. Paint films over. Interior collects gym bags and coffee.

A real mobile full detail is not a $20 spray-down. It's:

• Exterior wash and dry

• Interior vacuum and wipe-down

• Glass inside and out

• Tires and door jambs

• Cabin reset so it smells like a car again, not a locker

What it is not: paint correction, ceramic coating, or engine-bay work. Those are shop jobs. Don't pay mobile prices expecting that.

If you're booking one, do three things the night before:

1. Park where they can actually work (driveway or open garage)

2. Pull personal stuff out of the cabin

3. Leave a spare key

That's the whole difference between a 90-minute job and a 3-hour mess.
