See Your Price Before You Book

Cerritos drivers own everything from compact sedans to full-size pickup trucks and three-row SUVs, and the size of your vehicle directly affects how much time, product, and labor goes into doing the job right. A minivan or truck hauling gear on the 605 every day needs significantly more attention than a small sedan, so pricing is scaled fairly to match the work involved.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a sedan, SUV, minivan, or pickup truck through Cerritos every day, your size tier sets the baseline for accurate pricing.

2. Pick Your Package

Browse the available packages and choose the level of service that fits what your vehicle actually needs right now.

3. Confirm Online

Your total is locked in at that point — what you see is exactly what you'll pay, with nothing added on.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll know exactly what your detail costs before we ever touch your vehicle — no surprise fees added at the end, no pressure to upgrade once you're already booked. Just honest pricing matched to your vehicle and the service you actually chose.

Why Cerritos Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Cerritos vehicles take a beating every single day — commutes on the 605 and 91 freeways blast paint with industrial fallout, brake dust, and road film that builds up faster than most drivers realize. Add in the Santa Ana winds pushing grit across Bloomfield Avenue and a marine layer that traps pollen on every surface, and even a freshly washed car looks dull within days.

Freeway Fallout Coats Everything

Daily drives on the 91, 605, and 5 freeways expose your vehicle to a constant stream of metallic particles, exhaust residue, and industrial fallout from nearby commercial corridors. These microscopic contaminants bond to clear coat and paint, leaving sedans and SUVs with a dull, rough surface you can feel when you run your hand across the hood. Pickup trucks and minivans used for work commutes are especially vulnerable, accumulating layers of bonded grime that a standard car wash simply won't remove.

Pollen Season Never Really Ends

Cerritos sits in a dense suburban landscape surrounded by trees, landscaped medians on South Street, and residential greenery that sheds pollen nearly year-round in Southern California's mild climate. Morning marine layer moisture causes pollen to stick stubbornly to horizontal surfaces — roofs, hoods, and trunks — rather than blowing off in the breeze. Luxury vehicles parked outdoors near the Cerritos Auto Square corridor are particularly prone to visible yellow-green coating that dulls even the deepest paint finishes.

Brake Dust Ruins Wheels Fast

Stop-and-go traffic on Bloomfield Avenue and the constant braking required during 605 freeway congestion generates heavy brake dust that coats wheels in a dark, corrosive film. Left untreated, that dust etches into alloy and chrome wheels — a costly problem for the many luxury vehicles and new models driven by Cerritos residents who shop at one of the largest auto dealer complexes in the country. Regular wheel decontamination isn't optional here — it's essential maintenance for anyone who cares about preserving their vehicle's appearance and resale value.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Cerritos

Between freeway commutes, dusty Santa Ana wind events, and dense suburban driving through Cerritos, your vehicle's paint, wheels, and interior take on damage that compounds over time. The combination of industrial air quality, hard Southern California water, and heavy daily use means problems show up faster here than in most other cities.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield, and window trim. Cerritos's tree-lined residential streets and landscaped commercial areas along South Street deposit pollen constantly, and the morning marine layer gives it the moisture it needs to stick. Without regular decontamination, pollen works into paint pores and becomes nearly impossible to remove with a standard wash.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, paint panels, chrome accents, and mirror housings. Southern California's notoriously hard water leaves mineral deposits every time your vehicle gets wet — from sprinklers on Bloomfield Avenue medians to automatic car washes that don't properly dry the surface. Over time, those spots etch into glass and clear coat, leaving permanent marks that only professional polishing can fully correct.

⚙️ Brake Dust Buildup

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, spokes, wheel wells, and lower rocker panels. Heavy braking during rush hour congestion on the 91 and 605 freeways accelerates brake dust accumulation, coating wheels in a fine, iron-rich film that sticks and corrodes alloy surfaces. The luxury vehicles and newer model cars common in Cerritos are especially susceptible — neglected wheels can suffer permanent etching that diminishes both appearance and value.

🌲 Tree Sap Spots

Where it shows up: Roof, hood, and any panel parked beneath street trees or residential landscaping. Cerritos neighborhoods are dense with mature trees, and parking under them — especially overnight — means waking up to sticky sap drops that harden quickly in the Southern California sun. Once cured, sap bonds to clear coat and must be carefully removed to avoid scratching the paint during the extraction process.

🍟 Food & Drink Spills

Where it shows up: Front and rear seat upholstery, carpet, center console, and floor mats. Long commutes on the 5 and 605 mean many Cerritos drivers eat and drink in their vehicles regularly, leaving behind stains and odors in cloth and leather seats that worsen the longer they sit. Minivans and SUVs used for family and carpool trips accumulate spills fast, and without deep extraction cleaning, odors and bacteria set in permanently.

🧒 Kids' Messes

Where it shows up: Rear seat upholstery, carpet, door panels, and cargo areas. Cerritos families rely on their minivans and SUVs for school runs, sports, and weekend errands, and kids leave behind crumbs, juice stains, crayon marks, and sticky residue on nearly every surface they touch. These messes grind into fabric fibers and carpet backing over time, creating stains and smells that standard vacuuming won't touch — deep interior detailing is the only real fix.

Cerritos Car Detailing Packages

Cerritos vehicles deal with a specific mix of freeway fallout, pollen, brake dust, and interior wear that calls for more than a basic rinse and vacuum. Our packages are built to address the real-world conditions your car faces on the 91, the 605, and every Cerritos street in between.

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

Cerritos is a city of daily drivers — people logging real miles on the 605 and 91 every week who need their vehicles to look and feel clean without sacrificing their limited free time. From Cerritos College staff to healthcare workers and Auto Square employees, mobile detailing fits the rhythm of how this city actually lives.

Busy Professionals

If you're commuting out of Cerritos to aerospace facilities in Long Beach, county offices, or retail corridors along South Street, your car takes a beating every week and your schedule leaves little room for errands. Arete works while you're at your desk so your vehicle is refreshed by the time your shift ends.

Parents & Families

Between ABC Unified school drop-offs, weekend activities at Heritage Park, and minivans loaded with sports gear and snack wrappers, family vehicles in Cerritos rarely stay clean for long. We tackle the back rows, booster seat crevices, and sticky surfaces so parents aren't spending their Sunday afternoon vacuuming.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Residents in Cerritos condos and denser complexes along the Bloomfield Corridor don't have a garage hose-down area or easy access to a detail shop nearby. Arete works right in your assigned parking stall or covered structure, bringing everything needed without requiring a single extra trip from you.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers running routes through Cerritos and surrounding cities need a clean, odor-free interior to maintain ratings and keep passengers comfortable. We offer efficient turnarounds that get your vehicle back in service fast, without you losing earning hours at a fixed shop.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Tradespeople parking pickup trucks and vans in Cerritos driveways or commercial lots know their work vehicles accumulate grime, dust, and debris faster than anything else on the road. A clean, well-kept work truck still makes a professional impression on every customer, and Arete handles the mess so you don't have to.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

With the Cerritos Auto Square just down the road, luxury vehicle purchases are common here — and those investments deserve maintenance that matches their value. Arete uses surface-specific products and careful technique on high-end paint, leather, and trim so your vehicle stays in showroom condition between dealership visits.

Vehicles We Detail

Cerritos roads carry everything from daily commuter sedans and school-run minivans to full-size pickup trucks and luxury SUVs rolling off the Auto Square lots — and the size, material, and use of each vehicle directly shapes how long a proper detail takes. Pricing reflects that reality honestly, so you always know what you're paying for before we arrive.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans are the workhorse of the Cerritos commuter fleet, clocking daily miles on the 605 and collecting freeway dust, pollen, and hard water spots through every season. A full interior and exterior detail restores that clean drive feeling without taking the car off the road for more than a few hours.

SUVs & Crossovers

SUVs are everywhere in Cerritos — hauling kids, groceries, and sports equipment across the city's planned neighborhoods and onto busy arterials like South Street and Bloomfield Avenue. Their larger cargo areas and third-row seating mean more surface to clean, and we give every square foot the attention it needs.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks in Cerritos range from daily drivers to active work vehicles carrying tools, materials, and job-site grime from one end of the county to the other. Bed cleaning, cab interiors, and road-film removal from wheel wells are all part of how we detail trucks the right way.

Minivans

Cerritos families rely on minivans to move kids, carpools, and gear through a dense suburban city where those vehicles rarely get a break between uses. The layered mess that builds up in sliding-door interiors — crumbs, spills, tracked-in dirt — is exactly what our interior process is designed to clear out completely.

Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles purchased from the Cerritos Auto Square deserve care that goes beyond a standard wash, especially with Santa Ana wind-driven grit and pollen settling onto fresh paint year-round. We use pH-balanced, surface-appropriate products and careful hand techniques to protect high-end finishes and keep interiors looking like new.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vans and fleet vehicles operating out of Cerritos-area businesses accumulate road film, interior odors, and visible wear that reflect directly on the companies they represent. Regular mobile detailing keeps those vehicles presentable on every customer visit without pulling them off-route for a shop appointment.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Cerritos is a city of driveways, assigned garage stalls, apartment surface lots, and busy commercial parking areas — and Arete is set up to work in all of them. Wherever your vehicle lives during the day, that's where we show up.

Driveways

Most single-family homes in Cerritos's residential neighborhoods like Fern Park and Cerritos West have a driveway that gives us all the flat, accessible space we need to work efficiently. We set up, detail, and clean up without disrupting your household or requiring anything beyond a parking spot and a nearby water source.

Condo Garages

Covered parking structures in Cerritos condo communities work perfectly for mobile detailing — the shade actually helps products perform better on paint and interior surfaces. We work within your assigned stall and keep the process contained so neighboring residents are never disrupted.

Apartment Parking Lots

Surface lots at Cerritos apartment complexes are a common worksite for Arete, and we coordinate with residents to find the right spot and time that works within the property's setup. No outdoor faucet access? We carry self-contained water so nothing gets in the way of a complete detail.

Office Parking Lots

If you work near Cerritos College, a county service office, or anywhere along the retail and healthcare corridors in town, your car can be detailed in the parking lot while you're inside working. You leave for your shift with a dirty car and return to one that looks like it just came through a full service.

Street Parking

Some Cerritos residents park on residential streets near denser blocks along the Bloomfield Corridor or close to Town Center, and Arete can work curbside where local rules allow. We assess the space on arrival and adapt our setup so the detail still gets done completely and correctly.

Commercial Lots

Commercial lots near Cerritos's retail centers and Auto Square-adjacent businesses see high vehicle turnover, and fleet or business owners can coordinate on-site detailing during low-traffic windows. It's a practical way to keep company vehicles clean without routing them through a separate shop visit.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A real detail isn't a rinse and a wipe — it's a systematic process that removes what daily Cerritos driving actually deposits on your vehicle, from freeway road film on the exterior to the grime that settles into every interior crevice. Arete works through each surface with the right tools and products instead of rushing through with general-purpose shortcuts.

Better Interior Access

Cerritos vehicles — SUVs, minivans, and crew-cab trucks especially — have deep seat tracks, tight door panels, and cargo areas that a standard vacuum pass never fully reaches. We use detailing brushes and crevice tools sized for the actual geometry of those spaces to pull out the debris that hides where most cleaners stop.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Fabric seats and carpets in daily-driven Cerritos vehicles absorb spills, odors, and fine dust over time in ways that look worse in sunlight. We use extraction and fabric-safe solutions that lift contamination out of the fiber rather than pushing it deeper or leaving behind residue.

Surface-Specific Products

Plastic trim, glass, leather, painted surfaces, and rubber all respond differently to cleaners, and using the wrong product on any of them causes more damage than the original grime. Arete selects the appropriate solution for each surface type so every part of your vehicle is treated correctly from start to finish.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch areas like steering wheels, gear selectors, door handles, and console buttons accumulate bacteria and buildup that surface wiping alone doesn't resolve. Controlled steam penetrates those textured surfaces and lifts contamination without soaking electronics or leaving moisture behind.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on Cerritos commuter vehicles collect a specific combination of brake dust, freeway tar, and wind-blown debris from regular runs on the 91, 605, and 5 — and that buildup bonds to surfaces fast in the dry heat. We use wheel-safe iron-dissolving cleaners and dedicated brushes to clear spokes, barrels, and lug areas that a standard rinse completely misses.

Final Walkaround

Before we consider a detail finished, we walk the entire vehicle in good light and check every surface against the standard the job requires. If anything needs a second pass, we handle it on the spot — the walkthrough is built into the process, not an afterthought.

Cerritos Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Cerritos's climate looks mild on a calendar but puts vehicles through a real year-round cycle of pollen, dust, heat, and wind that keeps paint and interiors dirtier than most residents expect. Each season brings a specific type of contamination that calls for a specific detailing response.

Winter

Cerritos winters bring occasional rain that seems like it should clean cars but instead deposits hard water spots and activates months of built-up road grime on freeway-driven paint. The wet conditions also push oil and residue to the surface of parking lots, tracking onto floor mats and carpets with every entry. A post-rain detail removes mineral deposits and resets both interior and exterior surfaces before the dry season sets back in.

Spring

Spring in Cerritos brings warming temperatures and an immediate surge in pollen from the city's ornamental trees, which coat vehicles parked overnight in neighborhoods like Heritage Park and College Park with a fine yellow-green film. That pollen is mildly acidic and etches into paint if it sits through warm afternoons without being removed. A spring exterior detail with a proper wash and protection layer keeps the finish from absorbing seasonal damage during one of the heaviest deposit periods of the year.

Summer

Cerritos summers are dry, sunny, and relentless — UV exposure degrades unprotected paint and plastic trim faster than most drivers notice until the damage is already done. Pollen continues to coat vehicles weekly, baking onto sun-warmed surfaces by midday and becoming harder to remove by the following weekend. Summer is the right time to add a paint sealant or ceramic coating that holds up against both the heat and the constant particulate load in the air.

Fall

Fall Santa Ana wind events are the most aggressive surface-contamination force Cerritos vehicles face all year — dry gusts carry fine dust, debris, and abrasive particulate that scours paint and fills interior air vents when windows are cracked. The same winds that dry out the region fast also remove any moisture barrier left on paint, leaving surfaces raw and unprotected heading into the rainy period. A post-Santa Ana detail removes embedded debris and restores a protective layer before the seasonal transition causes longer-term surface damage.

What package do you recommend for Santa Ana wind dust and marine layer grime in Cerritos?

Cerritos vehicles deal with a relentless cycle of fine dust from Santa Ana winds and grimy residue from the morning marine layer, which means a basic wash rarely cuts it. We recommend our Full Detail package — it includes a thorough exterior decontamination, paint protection, and a complete interior clean to tackle the airborne buildup that's a fact of life in this part of LA County.

What package do you recommend for regular maintenance in Cerritos?

For Cerritos drivers keeping up with regular upkeep, our Interior or Exterior Detail packages are ideal on a monthly or bi-monthly schedule to prevent grime from bonding to surfaces. Combining both in a Full Detail every few months keeps your vehicle in top condition year-round given the dry, dusty climate.

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

Yes — Arete details every vehicle type common to Cerritos driveways, including family SUVs and minivans, pickup trucks, luxury sedans, and everything in between. Our pricing and packages are sized to your specific vehicle so you're always getting the right level of service.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Clicking See My Price generates an instant, exact quote based on your vehicle type, size, and the service package you choose — no guessing, no vague ranges. It takes seconds and gives you a real number upfront before you commit to anything.

Will the price change after I book in Cerritos?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete believes in complete pricing transparency so Cerritos customers are never surprised by add-on charges on the day of their appointment.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailers arrive to perform exactly the service you booked — there are no pressure tactics or on-the-spot upgrade pitches. If you ever want to add a service, that conversation happens before we begin, not in the middle of the job.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

If any part of your detail doesn't meet the standard you expected, contact us and we will make it right — no hassle, no runaround. Our reputation in Cerritos and across the LA area depends on every customer leaving genuinely satisfied.

Do you have a detailing shop in Cerritos?

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, which means we come to your home, apartment, or workplace in Cerritos rather than requiring you to drive to a fixed location. All of our equipment, water, and products travel with us so your driveway or parking spot becomes the detail bay.

Do I need to provide water or power in Cerritos?

No — Arete's mobile units are fully self-contained, carrying their own water supply and power generation. You don't need to provide a hose, an outlet, or anything else; just give us access to the vehicle.

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

Yes — we regularly detail vehicles inside covered parking structures at Cerritos condos and apartment complexes, which is especially useful given the number of multi-family residences near Town Center and along the Bloomfield Corridor. Just let us know about any height restrictions or access codes when you book.

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

Yes, street parking works fine for most of our services. We'll confirm your specific street location when scheduling to make sure we can set up properly and comply with any local parking rules in your Cerritos neighborhood.

Do you remove freeway dust and wind-blown grit from carpets in Cerritos?

Absolutely — Cerritos vehicles accumulate a distinctive mix of fine freeway dust, road particulate from the 91, 605, and 5 corridors, and wind-blown grit from seasonal Santa Ana conditions, all of which grind into carpet fibers over time. Our interior deep-clean includes thorough vacuuming and hot-water extraction shampooing that lifts that embedded debris out of your carpets completely.

Can you remove every stain?

We successfully eliminate the vast majority of stains including coffee, food, grease, and dirt using professional-grade extraction and stain treatment products. Some stains that have been heat-set over time or caused by certain dyes may be permanently bonded to the fabric — in those cases we'll be upfront with you about what's achievable before we begin.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is one of our most requested services, and our detailers use specialized tools to extract hair from carpet fibers, seat fabric, and tight crevices that a standard vacuum won't reach. If your vehicle has heavy pet hair accumulation, mention it when booking so we can allocate the right amount of time.

How long does a Cerritos detailing appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the service package and your vehicle's size and condition — an exterior-only detail on a sedan may take around 1.5 to 2 hours, while a full interior and exterior detail on a large SUV or minivan can run 3 to 5 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when you book so you can plan your day.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Cerritos?

Yes — Arete handles work trucks and fleet vehicles for contractors, tradespeople, and businesses operating in and around Cerritos. If you need multiple vehicles serviced, contact us to discuss scheduling and fleet pricing options.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Cerritos?

Absolutely — rideshare drivers for Uber and Lyft and delivery drivers working Cerritos and surrounding LA County routes put serious mileage on their vehicles and need regular interior refreshes to maintain passenger ratings and personal comfort. Arete's interior packages are a popular choice for rideshare operators who can book us on their schedule between shifts.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove any personal items, valuables, child seats if possible, and any large amounts of loose gear from the vehicle before we arrive. The less clutter we have to work around, the more thorough and efficient your detail will be.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed car seats but do not remove them for safety and liability reasons — proper reinstallation requires a certified technician. If you remove the seat yourself before the appointment, we can clean the area underneath and the seat surface thoroughly.

What happens if it rains in Cerritos?

Significant rainfall in Cerritos is infrequent, but if rain is forecast we'll reach out to reschedule at no cost to you. Light drizzle or overcast skies — including the typical Cerritos marine layer mornings — generally don't prevent us from completing your service.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Cerritos?

Yes — Arete regularly details luxury and exotic vehicles for Cerritos clients, and our detailers are trained in the paint-safe techniques and premium products appropriate for high-end finishes. From BMW and Mercedes to Porsche and Lexus, we treat every luxury vehicle with the extra care it demands.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — our interior packages include professional leather cleaning and conditioning that removes surface grime and helps prevent cracking and fading, which is especially important in Cerritos's sunny, dry climate that accelerates leather wear. We use products appropriate for your specific leather type to protect the material long-term.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — cloth seat and carpet shampooing is included in our interior deep-clean packages. We use hot-water extraction to pull dirt, odors, and staining agents out of fabric fibers rather than just masking them with scents or surface cleaners.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is part of our exterior detail service. We use dedicated wheel-safe products to break down brake dust, road tar, and grime that builds up on rims and tire sidewalls, finishing with a tire dressing for a clean, uniform look.

Can you remove odors from a Cerritos vehicle?

Yes — we tackle odors at the source through thorough interior extraction, surface cleaning, and professional-grade odor eliminator treatments rather than simply covering smells with air freshener. For severe odor cases such as smoke or mildew, let us know when booking so we can plan the appropriate treatment.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — Arete handles biohazard cleanup including vomit, using proper sanitation protocols and enzyme-based cleaners that break down organic matter and eliminate associated bacteria and odor. Please disclose this when booking so our detailer arrives prepared.

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

For most Cerritos residents, mobile detailing is significantly more convenient — instead of driving to a shop, waiting around near Cerritos Auto Square or South Street, and arranging a ride, a professional detail comes directly to your home or workplace. You save time, skip the waiting room, and get one-on-one service focused entirely on your vehicle.

How often should I detail my car in Cerritos?

Given Cerritos's dry sunny climate, Santa Ana wind events that deposit fine dust on every surface, and the heavy daily freeway driving most residents do on the 91, 605, and 5, we recommend a full detail every 3 to 4 months and an interior or exterior refresh monthly. Vehicles parked outdoors or driven daily in stop-and-go traffic will benefit most from a consistent schedule.
