See Your Price Before You Book

Arabi's vehicle mix skews large — full-size pickups, crew-cab work trucks, cargo vans, and three-row SUVs are the norm here, and bigger vehicles simply carry more surface area, more carpet, and more places for industrial grime to hide. Pricing reflects the actual time and product it takes to do the job right, so a Ram 2500 work truck and a compact sedan aren't going to cost the same.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're bringing in a daily commuter sedan, a crew-cab pickup from the job site, or a fleet van from the port corridor, the right category sets an accurate starting point.

2. Pick Your Package

Then choose the package that matches what your vehicle actually needs, from a solid maintenance detail to a full interior and exterior deep clean.

3. Confirm Online

Your total price locks in at that point — what you see is what you pay, no adjustments when the work is done.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll know exactly what your detail costs before anyone touches your vehicle — no surprise add-ons at the end, no pressure to upgrade once you're already committed. Arete keeps it straightforward because drivers around here don't have time for games.

Why Arabi Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Arabi sits in a perfect storm of vehicle abuse — sugar refinery particulates drift across Judge Perez Drive, spring pollen blankets everything from Paris Road to the interstate, and summer bugs turn every windshield into a graveyard. If your truck or SUV lives anywhere near the river corridor, it's getting hit harder and faster than almost anywhere else in Louisiana.

Industrial Fallout Never Stops

The refineries and port facilities along the Mississippi River push airborne particulates across Arabi around the clock, and they don't care what's parked underneath them. Work vans and full-size pickups sitting near Paris Road or the I-510 corridor pick up a gritty, invisible film that bonds to paint and clear coat fast. Left untreated, that fallout etches into the finish and turns a dirty truck into a damaged one.

Pollen Storms Hit Hard

Spring in Arabi doesn't ease in gently — it arrives as a full yellow assault that coats everything parked along St. Bernard Highway and Judge Perez Drive in a matter of hours. The humidity here makes it worse, because moisture activates pollen and helps it stick and stain rather than blow away. Sedans and SUVs with horizontal surfaces take the worst of it, and the residue gets acidic the longer it bakes in the Louisiana sun.

Bugs Are Relentless Here

Commuters running I-510 and the river bridge approach roads rack up serious bug splatter from spring straight through fall, and the warm, wet air around Arabi keeps the insect population thriving all season long. Pickups and SUVs with wide front ends and tall grilles catch the worst of it, and bug protein starts breaking down paint and clear coat within days if it's not removed properly. By midsummer, a week of commuting can leave a front end that looks like it drove through a swamp — because functionally, it did.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Arabi

Daily driving in Arabi means your vehicle is constantly up against heat, humidity, industrial air, and roads that collect mud and debris from the river corridor and surrounding industrial zones. That combination doesn't just make vehicles look dirty — it creates specific damage patterns that compound over time if they're not dealt with directly.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, window glass, door seams. In Arabi's humidity, pollen doesn't just sit on the surface — it activates, sticks, and starts reacting with your paint chemistry. What looks like a light dusting on a Tuesday morning can turn into a stubborn stain by the weekend if the car sits in the heat along St. Bernard Highway.

🐛 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, grille, hood leading edge, side mirrors, windshield. Commuters logging miles on I-510 and the river bridge roads deal with heavy bug accumulation from March through October, and the enzymes in insect remains start etching clear coat fast in this heat. Full-size pickups and SUVs with large front profiles collect the most, and dried splatter that's been baked on for days takes real work to remove without scratching.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, painted panels, chrome trim, side mirrors. The mineral-heavy water common in the greater New Orleans area leaves behind chalky deposits every time a vehicle gets wet and dries in the sun — which happens constantly in Arabi's climate. Spots that seem minor after one rain cycle start layering up over weeks and can become genuinely difficult to remove from dark-colored paint without professional correction.

🟤 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Floor mats, carpet fibers, door sill panels, under seats. Workers and tradespeople tied to Arabi's port and industrial corridor track in mud and debris that grinds deep into carpet pile with every drive. Pickups and work vans take the worst of it, and that embedded grime holds moisture against the flooring, leading to odor and long-term wear if it's not extracted properly.

⚙️ Brake Dust Buildup

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, spokes, wheel wells, lower rocker panels. Stop-and-go traffic on Judge Perez Drive and the St. Bernard Highway corridor generates consistent brake dust that bakes onto wheels in Arabi's heat before most drivers even notice it accumulating. Over time that metalite residue bonds to the wheel surface, dulls the finish, and creates a film that basic washing won't cut through.

🌊 Water Staining

Where it shows up: Door panels, trunk interiors, headliner, lower painted surfaces. Living near the Mississippi River corridor means Arabi vehicles deal with high ambient moisture year-round, and any gap in weatherstripping or a door left cracked in a rainstorm can leave staining that sets fast in the heat. Exterior water staining from splashback on low-lying roads also streaks lower panels in ways that regular washing smears around without actually removing.

Arabi Car Detailing Packages

Vehicles in Arabi don't just need a rinse — they need targeted work on industrial deposits, pollen staining, bug splatter, and interiors that have taken a beating from job-site use and Louisiana weather. Arete's packages are built around the kind of abuse that's specific to this area, not a generic menu designed for somewhere with mild seasons and clean air.

Interior Basic

Best for: lighter maintenance cleans, commuter cars, and vehicles that need a fresh reset without heavy stains, pet hair, or deep shampooing.

  • Full interior vacuum of seats, carpets, mats, and trunk/cargo area
  • Floor mats removed, cleaned, and reinstalled
  • Dashboard, console, cupholders, door panels, and trim wiped down
  • Interior glass cleaned for better visibility
  • Light dust, crumbs, loose debris, and everyday buildup removed
  • Final walkaround before payment

Why it helps

Regular maintenance cleaning keeps dust, crumbs, light salt, and daily grime from becoming embedded in carpets, seats, and tight interior areas.

Most Popular

Interior Deep Clean

Best for: dirty daily drivers, winter salt residue, family vehicles, food spills, pet hair, stained cloth, and interiors that need more than a surface wipe.

  • Thorough vacuuming of seats, carpets, trunk, floor mats, and tight crevices
  • Compressed-air blowout for cracks, seat rails, vents, and hard-to-reach areas
  • Fabric-safe stain pre-treatment for common spills and traffic marks
  • Agitation of carpets, mats, and cloth upholstery where needed
  • Hot-water extraction or shampooing for fabric surfaces where appropriate
  • Steam cleaning for cupholders, vents, trim, door jambs, and high-touch areas
  • Leather and vinyl surfaces cleaned carefully when applicable
  • Interior glass cleaned streak-free
  • Final inspection with the customer before payment

Why extraction matters

Vehicle carpets trap salt, sand, dust, food particles, and moisture below the surface. Pre-treatment and extraction help lift contamination from the fibers instead of only making the top layer look clean.

Full Detail: Interior + Exterior

Best for: vehicles that need both the interior restored and the exterior cleaned in the same mobile appointment.

  • Everything included in the Interior Deep Clean package
  • Exterior hand wash and careful drying
  • Wheel faces, tires, and accessible rim areas cleaned
  • Tire dressing applied for a clean finished look
  • Exterior glass cleaned
  • Lower-panel road film and surface grime addressed during wash
  • Door jambs and common touch points cleaned where accessible
  • Final exterior wipe-down and customer walkaround

Why wheels need special attention

Brake dust is abrasive and clings to wheels, spokes, and lower panels. Dedicated wheel-safe cleaners and brushes help remove buildup without treating wheels like regular body panels.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Arabi is a working parish, and the people driving its roads have real schedules, real vehicles, and no patience for wasted time. Mobile detailing fits the way this community actually lives — shift workers, parents, tradespeople, and everyone in between.

Busy Professionals

If you're clocking in at Valero, Domino Sugar, or making the daily run into New Orleans on St. Bernard Highway, your time off the clock is too valuable to spend sitting at a detail shop. Book Arete to come to your driveway or work lot so your vehicle is clean before your next shift starts.

Parents & Families

Between school pickup, sports gear, and weekend drives through Chalmette and Meraux, family vehicles in Arabi take a beating that shows in every seat seam and cup holder. Arete handles the crumbs, spills, and tracked-in mud so you're not spending your weekend doing it yourself.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Without a private driveway, apartment and condo residents in Arabi often assume mobile detailing isn't an option — but Arete works in shared lots and covered parking structures where space allows. All we need is access to your vehicle and room to work alongside it.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers running routes through Arabi, the Lower Ninth Ward, and into New Orleans put serious mileage and passenger wear on their interiors every single week. A clean, odor-free cabin isn't just professional — it protects your ratings and your income.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Work trucks and vans tied to the port, industrial facilities, and the trades around St. Bernard Parish carry the evidence of every job in their floors, seats, and bed liners. Arete details fleet and commercial vehicles on-site so your equipment looks maintained without pulling it off the road.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Parking a luxury vehicle in south Louisiana means battling humidity, industrial fallout, and road grime that accelerate paint and interior wear faster than most climates allow. Arete uses surface-specific products and careful technique to protect your investment right here in Arabi without requiring a drive across town.

Vehicles We Detail

Arabi roads are dominated by full-size pickups, heavy SUVs, and the kind of hardworking vans and sedans that log real miles every week between the parish and the city. Vehicle size, interior square footage, and the level of embedded grime all factor into what a thorough detail actually takes.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans used for the daily St. Bernard Highway and I-510 commute collect road film, pollen, and interior dust faster than most owners expect. They're efficient to detail but still deserve the same attention to trim, glass, and fabric that larger vehicles get.

SUVs & Crossovers

SUVs hauling families between Arabi, Chalmette, and New Orleans accumulate the kind of layered interior mess — sandy floors, sticky consoles, and odors baked in by Louisiana heat — that a basic wipe-down won't touch. Arete works through every row and cargo area to bring the full interior back.

Pickup Trucks

Full-size pickups in Arabi work hard — port runs, construction sites, industrial facilities — and their cabs and beds show it in road tar, mud, and embedded grime that becomes permanent if it sits too long in the heat. We detail the cab completely and treat the bed so it's clean, protected, and ready for the next job.

Minivans

Minivans moving families around St. Bernard Parish are ground zero for food debris, spilled drinks, and the kind of floor-mat buildup that develops when multiple kids ride the same routes every day. Arete details row by row, including the hard-to-reach third-row areas that rarely see a vacuum.

Luxury Vehicles

A luxury vehicle parked in Arabi's humid, river-adjacent air needs more than a rinse — oxidation, water spotting, and interior mildew can develop quickly without proper protection. Arete uses chemistry and technique matched to premium finishes, leather, and trim so the investment stays in top condition.

Commercial Vehicles

Fleet vehicles and work vans running routes between the Port of New Orleans, industrial sites, and parish facilities accumulate grime in ways that reflect directly on the businesses they represent. Arete details commercial vehicles on-site at your lot or yard so your fleet stays presentable without disrupting operations.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Arabi vehicles are parked everywhere — residential driveways, apartment lots, street-side in older neighborhoods, and industrial facility yards — and Arete is equipped to detail in every one of those settings. We bring our own water and power, so location is rarely a barrier.

Driveways

A home driveway in Arabi is the most convenient place for a detail — your vehicle sits there every morning and evening, which means the work happens without interrupting your day at all. We show up, do the job, and are gone before it's time to head out.

Condo Garages

Covered parking garages and condo structures offer natural shade that actually improves detail results by keeping surfaces cooler during product application. As long as there's reasonable access to your vehicle and space to work along one side, Arete can handle it.

Apartment Parking Lots

Apartment parking lots in Arabi are everyday territory for Arete — we're set up to work in shared lots where space is limited and other vehicles are nearby. All we need is your parking spot and a heads-up on any lot-specific access requirements.

Office Parking Lots

A workday detail at your office or facility lot means your vehicle is clean and ready the moment your shift ends, without adding a single errand to your schedule. Employees at Chalmette Medical Center, parish government offices, or industrial sites near Paris Road can book Arete to come during working hours.

Street Parking

Older residential blocks in Arabi and adjacent Holy Cross often rely on street parking, and Arete is experienced working curbside without the convenience of a private driveway. We confirm the setup when you book so there are no surprises on either end.

Commercial Lots

Businesses operating out of commercial properties along Judge Perez Drive or near the industrial corridor can schedule Arete to detail fleet or employee vehicles directly in their lot. It's a practical way to maintain a professional image without sending vehicles elsewhere during business hours.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

The humidity, industrial fallout, and road conditions around Arabi mean that surface-level cleaning wears off quickly — what actually lasts is a proper detail that works through every layer of contamination. Arete approaches every vehicle the way the environment demands, not the way a quick-wash conveyor allows.

Better Interior Access

Getting into the tight spaces of a full-size pickup cab, a three-row SUV, or a well-used work van requires the right tools — detailing brushes, low-profile crevice attachments, and flexible lighting to find what a standard vacuum misses. Every seam, vent, and seat track gets worked before we move on.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Louisiana heat activates odors and sets stains into upholstery faster than cooler climates, which is why Arete uses fabric-appropriate cleaners that lift contamination without degrading fiber or leaving residue that attracts more dirt. The goal is clean that actually holds up.

Surface-Specific Products

Hard plastics, rubber trim, leather, glass, and painted surfaces each respond differently to cleaning agents, and using the wrong product on any of them creates damage that's harder to fix than the original problem. Arete uses surface-matched chemistry throughout the vehicle rather than a one-product approach.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch surfaces like steering wheels, door pulls, shift knobs, and center console controls harbor bacteria and grime that wipes alone don't fully remove. Steam cuts through that buildup at a level that leaves surfaces genuinely clean without saturating electronics or adjacent trim.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on vehicles running Judge Perez Drive, the bridge approach roads, and the industrial corridors around Arabi collect brake dust, road tar, and chemical fallout that bonds to the finish if it isn't treated with the right iron-removing chemistry. Arete cleans wheels properly — not just rinsed, but decontaminated — before any protective product goes on.

Final Walkaround

Before we call the job finished, we walk the entire vehicle in full light and check every surface against what we set out to deliver. If anything falls short of the standard, we address it before moving on — not after you've already driven away.

Arabi Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Arabi sits in one of the harshest vehicle environments in the country — relentless humidity, industrial air, hurricane debris, and summers that chemically bond contaminants to any surface left untreated. What each season deposits on a vehicle here is different, but none of it is gentle.

Winter

Arabi winters stay mild but persistently damp, and that moisture works its way into door seals, floor mats, and upholstery to create the kind of mildew odor that gets worse the longer it's ignored. Water spotting builds up on glass and paint as morning dew and rain cycle through without the temperature drop that dries things out in colder climates. A proper interior detail and protective exterior treatment before the wet months set in makes a measurable difference in how the vehicle smells and looks by spring.

Spring

Spring in Arabi means a thick coating of yellow pollen settling on every vehicle left outside overnight — it gets into door jambs, grille openings, and wiper cowls in a way that traps moisture underneath and accelerates surface oxidation. Paint that's already thinly protected can absorb pollen residue and stain if it's not addressed quickly. A post-pollen wash and paint decontamination in late spring is one of the most effective things an Arabi driver can do for their vehicle's long-term finish.

Summer

Summer heat in Arabi is aggressive enough to bake bug splatter, industrial fallout, and tar into paint within hours of exposure, and once those contaminants bond to a hot surface, standard washing won't remove them. The interior isn't spared either — dashboards crack, vinyl dries out, and any food or liquid spills left from the spring get cooked into upholstery in the summer heat. Protecting paint with a sealant and keeping the interior conditioned are the two most important things a driver can do before the peak of summer.

Fall

Fall brings brief relief from the worst of the heat, but hurricane season runs straight through it, and vehicles in Arabi are routinely exposed to debris, standing water, mud, and the grime that storm runoff leaves behind on every surface. Post-storm detailing isn't optional if you want to prevent that debris from etching paint or mildew from taking hold in a wet interior. The few weeks of mild weather in late fall are also the ideal window to apply protective coatings before winter damp sets in.

Primary Areas We Serve in Arabi

Arete Car Detailing proudly serves Arabi and the surrounding St. Bernard Parish communities, bringing professional mobile detailing directly to your driveway, workplace, or parking spot. From Arabi proper and Fazendeville to Chalmette, Meraux, and Violet, we come to you so you never have to leave your neighborhood.

Arabi Proper

Vehicles parked along St. Bernard Highway and the riverside streets of Arabi proper take a daily beating from the humid, salt-tinged air rolling off the Mississippi. Arete's full detail packages are built to fight that relentless oxidation and keep your paint looking sharp mile after mile.

Fazendeville

Fazendeville's tight residential blocks mean most cars sit outside exposed to Arabi's punishing sun and heavy seasonal humidity day after day. A regular interior and exterior detail from Arete keeps the heat-cracked dashboards and faded trim at bay before the damage becomes permanent.

Chalmette

Chalmette commuters running Judge Perez Drive or the interstate into New Orleans rack up mileage fast, collecting road grime, exhaust film, and summer-storm mud with every trip. Arete's mobile service comes right to your Chalmette home or job site so a clean car doesn't cost you extra time out of your day.

Meraux

Meraux sits deep in petrochemical country, and vehicles parked near the refineries and industrial corridors pick up airborne particulates that dull paint and clog up cabin air fast. Arete's paint decontamination and interior purge packages are exactly what Meraux vehicles need to stay clean between the elements and the job.

Violet

Out in Violet, vehicles deal with the full force of South Louisiana weather — brutal summer heat, flash flooding, and thick humidity that invites mold and mildew into every carpet fiber and seat seam. Arete brings the professional-grade steam cleaning and conditioning treatments that keep Violet interiors fresh even when the swamp air says otherwise.

Frequently Serviced Arabi Areas & Landmarks

Arabi and St. Bernard Parish are full of busy spots where vehicles sit for hours at a time, making mobile detailing a perfect fit while you work, heal, shop, or commute. Arete can meet you near any of these local landmarks and have your vehicle looking its best before you're back behind the wheel.

St. Bernard Parish Hospital

Hospital staff and visitors park for long shifts near St. Bernard Parish Hospital, and those extended hours give Arete the perfect window to complete a full detail while you're inside. There's no better use of your downtime than coming back to a spotless, fresh-smelling vehicle after a long day.

Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery

Visitors to the Chalmette Battlefield often park for extended tours of the grounds, and that dwell time lines up perfectly with a mobile exterior detail or interior refresh from Arete. It's a rare chance to honor history while Arete takes care of the river dust and summer grime baked into your finish.

Domino Sugar Arabi Refinery

Workers heading into shifts at the Domino Sugar facility deal with industrial residue, humidity, and heat that grind into vehicle surfaces over time. Arete's paint decontamination and deep interior cleaning are built for working vehicles that earn their dirt the hard way along the river corridor.

Chalmette High School

Parents dropping off, picking up, or parking for school events near Chalmette High School can use that wait time to get a quick interior clean or exterior wash handled on the spot by Arete.

Can you detail near the Chalmette Battlefield in Arabi?

Yes — we can meet you near the Chalmette Battlefield and National Cemetery, the Domino Sugar Refinery, St. Bernard Parish Hospital, or any other landmark or parking area in the Arabi area. As long as your vehicle is accessible and has enough clearance around it, our detailer will handle everything on-site.

What package should I get for river air, industrial fallout, and humidity damage in Arabi?

Living near the Mississippi River and the industrial corridor means your vehicle is constantly exposed to airborne particulates, salt-heavy humidity, and oxidizing heat — our Full Detail package with paint decontamination is the right call. It digs out the embedded contaminants that regular washing misses and applies protective treatments that hold up against Arabi's brutal climate.

What package for regular maintenance in Arabi?

For ongoing maintenance in Arabi's heat and humidity, we recommend booking an interior or exterior detail every four to six weeks to stay ahead of mold, mildew, oxidation, and UV fading. Our maintenance packages are priced to make regular upkeep easy and affordable no matter what St. Bernard Parish throws at your vehicle.

Do you detail SUVs, minivans, trucks, and luxury vehicles in Arabi?

Yes — Arete details every vehicle type in Arabi including SUVs, full-size pickups, minivans, work trucks, and high-end luxury vehicles. Pricing is based on vehicle size and condition, so you'll always get an accurate quote before anything is confirmed.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Every vehicle is different in size, condition, and what it needs, so our pricing tool generates an accurate quote based on your specific vehicle rather than giving you a vague range. It takes less than a minute and makes sure there are no surprises when your detailer shows up.

Will the price change after I book in Arabi?

The price you see when you book is the price you pay — we don't adjust it after the fact or add hidden fees once we arrive. The only exception is if you request additional services on the day of your appointment that weren't part of your original booking.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

No — Arete does not use high-pressure upsell tactics at your appointment. Our detailer will focus entirely on the services you booked, and if they notice something additional that might help your vehicle, they'll mention it once without any pressure.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

If something about your detail doesn't meet your expectations, let us know and we'll make it right — simple as that. We stand behind our work and want every Arabi customer to be genuinely happy with the result.

Do you have a detailing shop in Arabi?

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, meaning we come directly to your home, workplace, or parking location in Arabi — there's no shop to visit. That's the whole point: professional results without you having to drive anywhere or rearrange your day.

Do I need to provide water or power in Arabi?

For most services, access to a standard outdoor water spigot and a regular electrical outlet is helpful and appreciated. If your location doesn't have easy access, just let us know when you book and we'll work with you to find the best solution.

Can you detail my car in a condo or apartment garage in Arabi?

Yes — we can work in covered parking garages and apartment lots throughout Arabi, which is great news given how much UV damage the open sun causes here. Just make sure there's adequate clearance around the vehicle and let us know about any parking rules for the property ahead of time.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in Arabi?

Yes — as long as the vehicle is legally parked and we have enough working space around it, street-side detailing is no problem in Arabi. We work in driveways, carports, parking lots, and on the street to make the service as convenient as possible for you.

Do you remove industrial dust, river soot, and road grime from carpets in Arabi?

Yes — Arabi's industrial environment and unpaved shoulders mean carpets collect a unique mix of heavy grime, and our deep interior cleaning with hot water extraction is designed to pull all of it out. We treat the carpet fibers thoroughly so you're not just covering up the mess but actually removing it.

Can you remove every stain?

We can remove the vast majority of stains using professional-grade extractors and targeted stain treatments, but some deeply set stains — especially old ones that have fully bonded with the fabric — may not come out completely. We'll always be upfront with you about what's realistic before we begin.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is included in our interior detail services. South Louisiana pet owners know how fast fur works its way into seats and carpet, and our detailers use specialized tools to get it all out thoroughly.

How long does an Arabi detailing appointment take?

Appointment times vary depending on the package and vehicle size, but most full interior and exterior details take between two and four hours. You'll get a time estimate when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Arabi?

Yes — Arete works with contractors, tradespeople, and businesses in Arabi and St. Bernard Parish to keep work trucks and fleet vehicles clean and professionally presented. Contact us directly to discuss recurring fleet scheduling and volume options.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Arabi?

Absolutely — rideshare and delivery drivers in Arabi put serious miles and serious mess on their vehicles, and a regular detail keeps the interior fresh for passengers and meets platform cleanliness standards. We can work around your schedule so downtime is minimal.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove any personal valuables, important documents, car seats you'd prefer not to have moved, and any large items from the trunk or cargo area before we arrive. The more clear the interior, the faster and more thoroughly we can clean every surface.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed car seats and can clean the seat base area, but we do not remove or reinstall child safety seats ourselves for liability reasons. If you remove the seat before we arrive, we'll clean that area of the vehicle thoroughly.

What happens if it rains in Arabi?

Arabi gets plenty of sudden downpours, and we monitor weather closely for every appointment. If heavy rain is expected, we'll reach out to reschedule at no penalty to you — we won't attempt an exterior detail in conditions that would compromise the result.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Arabi?

Yes — Arete has experience detailing luxury and high-end vehicles and uses products and techniques appropriate for sensitive paint, premium leather, and delicate trim materials. Your vehicle will be treated with the care it deserves regardless of what it cost.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather cleaning and conditioning is part of our interior detail services. South Louisiana's heat accelerates leather cracking and fading, so proper cleaning and conditioning keeps your seats supple and protected against the climate.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — cloth seat shampooing and carpet extraction are core parts of our interior detail. We use hot water extraction to pull out deep-set grime, humidity-driven mildew, and everything else that builds up in Arabi's wet, hot environment.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is included in our exterior detail packages. We degrease brake dust from the wheels and dress the tires so the whole vehicle looks finished and clean, not just the paint.

Can you remove odors from an Arabi vehicle?

Yes — we treat odors at the source using professional products rather than masking them with fragrance. Whether it's mildew from Arabi's humidity, food smells, or pet odors, our interior cleaning process targets the bacteria and organic material causing the smell.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard cleanup including vomit, and we use the appropriate sanitation products to clean, disinfect, and deodorize the affected area thoroughly. There may be an additional fee for biohazard situations, which will be communicated before work begins.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected digitally after your service is complete — we accept all major credit and debit cards and digital payment methods. We don't require cash, making the whole process simple and contactless if you prefer.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We ask for reasonable notice if you need to cancel or reschedule — cancellations made well in advance are no problem and carry no fee. Last-minute cancellations may be subject to a fee, which is outlined clearly in your booking confirmation.

Can you come today in Arabi?

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in Arabi?

For most Arabi residents, mobile detailing is the clear winner — no driving across St. Bernard Parish, no waiting in a lobby, and no handing your keys to strangers in a busy shop environment. We come to your home or workplace and deliver the same professional results while you go about your day.

How often should I detail my car in Arabi?

Given Arabi's combination of extreme heat, river humidity, industrial air, and frequent heavy rain, we recommend a full detail every one to two months and at minimum a thorough interior clean every six weeks. The climate here degrades interiors and exteriors faster than most places in the country, so staying on a regular schedule protects your investment year-round.
