Basic Wash vs Deep Clean vs Wash & Wax: Which Do You Need?
Picking a detailing package shouldn't take a guessing game. Here's the straight difference between the three packages at Hicks Mobile Detailing, and how to tell which one your vehicle needs.
The short version
- Basic wash ($200): the outside is dirty, the inside just needs a wipe-down.
- Deep clean ($250): the inside needs real work, like crumbs, dog hair, a muddy floorboard or stained seats.
- Wash & wax ($300): you want the paint protected and shining, and the seats and carpet extracted.
Basic wash: the everyday reset
The basic wash covers a foam pre-soak and full hand wash, wheels, tires and wheel wells, windows inside and out, and tire shine. Inside, the dash, door panels and center console get cleaned and dressed.
Book it if: your truck sees dirt roads and pollen more than it sees spills. It's the right call to keep a clean vehicle clean.
Deep clean: when the inside needs help
The deep clean includes everything in the basic wash, then goes after the interior with a full vacuum including the mats and the trunk or bed, and scrubbing of the seats, carpet and floor mats.
Book it if: you haul kids, dogs, tools or hunting gear, or it's been a while since anyone really cleaned the inside.
Wash & wax: protection plus a full interior extraction
The wash & wax includes everything in the basic wash, then adds a clay bar treatment to pull bonded contaminants off the paint and a hand-applied wax for shine and protection. Trim and plastics get dressed, and the seats and carpets are extracted.
Book it if: you care about the paint, you're getting ready to sell, or it's been months since the paint was protected. Texas sun is hard on a finish, and wax gives it a layer of defense.
What about lifted trucks, RVs and UTVs?
Bigger rigs take more time. Lifted and oversize trucks, RVs, campers and UTVs are priced separately, and anything extra big or extra dirty gets a quote before work starts. Check the price list or text a photo to (469) 713-9313 for a quick quote.
