See Your Price Before You Book

Marietta driveways are dominated by full-size SUVs, extended-cab pickups, and three-row crossovers — vehicles that carry more surface area, more carpet, and more interior real estate than a standard sedan, and pricing reflects the actual work involved. Charging the same flat rate for a compact commuter car and a loaded Suburban or F-150 wouldn't be fair to either customer.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're driving a commuter sedan through the I-75 corridor or hauling the whole family in a three-row SUV, your size determines the base.

2. Pick Your Package

Next, choose the package that matches what your vehicle actually needs — from a thorough exterior refresh after pollen season to a full interior and exterior detail after a summer of lake trips and youth sports.

3. Confirm Online

Your total price is confirmed right there on the screen before you book, so there's nothing to decode later.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll see your exact price before anything is scheduled — no surprise add-ons waiting for you at pickup and no pressure to upgrade once the work has started. What you select is what you pay, full stop.

Why Marietta Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Marietta throws a relentless mix of thick spring pollen, red clay mud, and sticky pine sap at every vehicle that parks outside — and that's before you factor in the grime that builds up on the daily grind down Cobb Parkway or through the I-75 corridor. Between the dense tree canopy overhead and Georgia's punishing humidity underneath, cars here get dirty faster than almost anywhere else in the metro.

Pollen Buries Everything Overnight

From March through May, parking under any of Marietta's mature oaks or loblolly pines means waking up to a vehicle coated in thick yellow-green pollen — sometimes after just a few hours. Commuter sedans and crossovers sitting in neighborhood driveways or park-and-ride lots near I-75 take the heaviest hits, with pollen working into door jambs, grilles, and window seals. Rain doesn't help — it smears the pollen into a filmy residue that bonds to paint and glass if it's not properly removed.

Construction Dust Never Settles Down

Development along Barrett Parkway and the broader Cobb County corridor kicks up a constant cloud of concrete and demolition dust that coats anything parked or driven nearby. Pickup trucks and full-size SUVs running jobsite errands accumulate layers of fine gray dust across horizontal panels, mirror housings, and bed liners faster than most owners realize. That dust mixes with morning dew to form a gritty paste that scratches clear coat if wiped without proper decontamination first.

Tree Sap Sticks and Stains

Marietta's canopy of pines and sweetgums drips sap year-round, but late spring and early summer are especially aggressive for vehicles parked on residential streets off Roswell Road or Powder Springs Road. Minivans and SUVs with large horizontal roof panels and hoods are prime targets, and fresh sap hardens into a crystallized bond with paint in just a day or two of Georgia heat. Standard car washes won't touch cured sap — it requires targeted chemical treatment and careful hand removal to avoid leaving permanent marks.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Marietta

Every daily commute on I-75 or a weekend run out to the lake adds another layer of wear that a quick rinse will never fully address. Marietta's combination of clay roads, heavy tree cover, stop-and-go traffic, and high humidity creates a compounding effect that shows up in ways most drivers don't notice until the damage is already done.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Paint surface, glass, window seals, grilles, and door jambs. Marietta's spring pollen season is one of the most intense in the Atlanta metro, blanketing everything from commuter sedans in park-and-ride lots to SUVs sitting in youth sports complex parking lots off Powder Springs Road. Left unaddressed, pollen etches into clear coat as humidity causes it to bond at a microscopic level.

🌲 Tree Sap

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, and windshield. Marietta's dense residential canopy of pines and sweetgums makes tree sap a near-universal problem for anyone parking in a driveway or shaded neighborhood street. Once Georgia's summer heat cures the sap onto the paint, improper removal attempts can leave swirl marks or surface scratches that require paint correction.

🪲 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, hood, headlights, and windshield. Drivers making regular runs down I-75 or Cobb Parkway during warmer months accumulate heavy bug splatter across the entire front end of their vehicles. The acidic proteins in insect residue begin etching into clear coat within days, especially on darker-colored trucks and SUVs that absorb more heat.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Windows, paint panels, and mirror glass. Marietta's summer thunderstorms leave mineral-laden water droplets that bake onto paint and glass in the intense afternoon heat before they can evaporate cleanly. Vehicles washed at home with unfiltered hose water are especially prone to spotting on windows and dark horizontal panels.

🟤 Mud in Carpets

Where it shows up: Floor mats, carpet fibers, and rear cargo areas. Marietta's red Georgia clay is notorious for tracking into vehicles after youth sports on wet fields, trail walks, or any errand run after a heavy rain soaks the unpaved edges along back roads. That clay dries into a reddish-brown stain that grinds deeper into carpet fibers every time someone steps on it.

⚙️ Brake Dust

Where it shows up: Wheel faces, spokes, and inner barrel surfaces. Stop-and-go traffic on I-75, Barrett Parkway, and the Roswell Road corridor generates constant brake dust that bakes onto wheel finishes with every heat cycle. Full-size SUVs and trucks with larger rotors produce more brake dust than average, and leaving it untreated causes corrosive pitting that dulls even premium wheel finishes over time.

Marietta Car Detailing Packages

Most Marietta vehicles aren't just dusty — they're carrying months of baked-on pollen, embedded clay, tree sap, and the kind of interior wear that comes from a busy family life and a long commute. The right detail package addresses all of it in one visit rather than treating symptoms while the underlying buildup stays behind.

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.

How Mobile Detailing Works

Arete comes directly to your East Cobb driveway, your office parking lot off Barrett Parkway, or wherever your vehicle sits between errands and the daily grind. Marietta drivers never have to add a detailing stop to an already packed commute schedule.

1. Book Online

Pick your service, choose a time that fits your day, and lock in your appointment online in under two minutes.

2. We Come To You

Your detailer arrives fully equipped at your home, workplace, or wherever your vehicle is parked across Marietta and the surrounding area.

3. Detail + Final Walkaround

Once the work is done, we walk you around the vehicle together so you can inspect every inch before you pay a cent.

Who Uses Our Mobile Detailing Service

Marietta is home to a wide mix of drivers — from WellStar nurses grabbing a rare day off to Lockheed engineers with a spotless truck sitting in a neighborhood garage. Whatever your schedule looks like, mobile detailing fits inside it rather than forcing you to rearrange around it.

Busy Professionals

Professionals commuting daily to Dobbins Air Reserve Base, the Cobb County offices, or down I-75 toward Atlanta rarely have a free afternoon to sit in a detailing waiting room. Arete handles your vehicle while you're already at the office, so you leave work to a clean car instead of another task on your list.

Parents & Families

Between youth sports at the Marietta parks, weekend runs out to Lake Allatoona, and the red clay that finds its way onto every floor mat, family vehicles take a serious beating. We deep-clean the crumbs, cleats, and chaos while you're home, so the whole family boards a fresh vehicle on the next trip out.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Residents in Marietta's condo communities along the Shallowford Road Corridor or near Historic Marietta Square often have a designated space but no access to a hose or shop vacuum. Arete is fully self-contained and works cleanly within your assigned parking area without any building hookups required.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers running routes through Cobb Parkway and across Marietta know that a dirty interior directly affects ratings and repeat riders. We keep your vehicle passenger-ready with fast-turnaround interior details that eliminate odors, wipe down every surface, and put a professional impression back in every seat.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Contractors and tradespeople who park their trucks and vans near the Kennesaw Mountain area jobsites or along Powder Springs Road deal with drywall dust, wood shavings, and construction grime that standard washes never fully touch. Arete gets into the corners and cargo areas where the real mess hides, leaving your work vehicle looking sharp for client visits.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Marietta's Vinings and East Cobb neighborhoods are home to plenty of BMWs, Mercedes, and Porsches that deserve more than a drive-through wash and a chamois. Arete uses surface-appropriate products and careful hand techniques to protect paint, trim, and leather that represent a serious investment.

Vehicles We Detail

Marietta driveways lean heavily toward full-size SUVs, crew-cab trucks, and minivans built to handle everything from I-285 traffic to unpaved lake access roads. Vehicle size, surface area, and interior complexity all factor into pricing, so every quote reflects exactly what your specific vehicle requires.

Sedans & Coupes

Commuter sedans navigating the daily Barrett Parkway and I-75 crawl collect road film, pollen residue, and interior wear faster than most owners expect. A thorough detail restores that new-car feeling and protects the finish against another season of Marietta's demanding road conditions.

SUVs & Crossovers

Full-size SUVs are the dominant vehicle in Marietta for good reason — they haul families, gear, and everything in between — but all that square footage means more surface to clean inside and out. Arete accounts for the extra rows, cargo areas, and roof height to make sure nothing gets skipped.

Pickup Trucks

Pickup trucks in Marietta do real work, and the bed, wheel wells, and undercarriage show it — especially after a muddy weekend near Kennesaw Mountain or a haul through red clay construction zones. We treat the exterior and the interior with equal attention, so your truck looks as capable as it actually is.

Minivans

Marietta family minivans see youth travel teams, grocery runs, and everything a busy suburban household throws at a vehicle week after week. Our interior detail reaches every row, pocket, and crevice where spills and crumbs accumulate long past the memory of the original mess.

Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles parked in Vinings or the quieter East Cobb cul-de-sacs require a level of product care and handling that most quick-wash operations simply aren't equipped to provide. Arete matches every cleaner and protectant to the specific material — leather, alcantara, carbon fiber, or soft-close chrome — so nothing is compromised in the process.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles representing Marietta businesses on Cobb Parkway and beyond are rolling advertisements for the company behind them. A clean, detailed fleet signals professionalism before anyone on your team says a word, and Arete can schedule around your operational hours to keep vehicles in rotation.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Marietta's mix of single-family homes with wide driveways, condo complexes with structured lots, and busy commercial corridors means vehicles are parked in all kinds of settings throughout the day. Arete is built to work in all of them — self-contained, efficient, and respectful of shared or private spaces.

Driveways

Most Marietta homes in East Cobb and West Marietta have a concrete or paved driveway that gives us a clean, stable workspace right where your vehicle already sits. We set up, do the full detail, and clear out without disrupting the household or leaving anything behind.

Condo Garages

Covered garage spaces in Marietta's condo communities protect your vehicle from pollen and storms but can complicate traditional detailing services. Arete works within those low-clearance, no-hookup environments using our own water and power supply so your detail happens on schedule regardless of facility limitations.

Apartment Parking Lots

Apartment parking lots along the Shallowford Road Corridor and near Marietta's busier commercial zones are everyday workspaces for Arete detailers. We keep our footprint tight, work efficiently in open lots, and leave the surrounding spaces exactly as we found them.

Office Parking Lots

Office and corporate parking lots near WellStar campuses, Dobbins, and the business parks off Barrett Parkway are ideal for a midday detail while you're already at your desk. Your vehicle is clean and ready before your workday ends — no extra stop, no wasted time.

Street Parking

Historic Marietta Square and some of Marietta's older neighborhoods rely on street parking, and that's a setting Arete handles regularly. We assess the space, confirm it works for a safe and thorough detail, and get the job done without requiring you to move the vehicle elsewhere.

Commercial Lots

Retail and commercial lots throughout Cobb Parkway and the surrounding corridors give fleet owners and business operators a convenient location to have multiple vehicles serviced in a single visit. Arete coordinates scheduling to minimize downtime and keep your vehicles looking professional across the board.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A drive-through wash moves water and soap over a vehicle's surface — a real detail addresses what's embedded in the paint, ground into the carpet, and built up in every crevice over months of Marietta driving. For a vehicle dealing with red clay roads, heavy pollen seasons, and daily highway commutes, that difference is significant.

Better Interior Access

Getting into every corner of a full-size SUV or a loaded crew-cab truck requires more than a vacuum wand — Arete uses detailing brushes, flexible crevice tools, and compressed air to reach door pockets, seat rail tracks, and the tight spaces between consoles that standard cleaning always misses.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Fabric seats and carpets in Marietta family vehicles absorb everything from sports drinks to red clay tracked in off a muddy trail, and the wrong cleaner can set a stain permanently or leave a harsh chemical odor. Arete selects pH-balanced, fabric-appropriate solutions that lift contamination without degrading the fibers underneath.

Surface-Specific Products

Every surface in a vehicle — glass, leather, painted plastic, brushed metal, soft-touch dash — responds differently to cleaners and protectants, and using the wrong product on the wrong surface causes damage that's expensive to reverse. Arete keeps a curated kit of surface-specific products on every job so nothing gets a one-size-fits-all treatment.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch areas like steering wheels, door handles, shift levers, and seat belt buckles accumulate bacteria and grime that wiping alone can't fully address. Arete's steam process penetrates these surfaces at the source, sanitizing without soaking and leaving controls fresh without chemical residue.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on vehicles commuting I-75 and Barrett Parkway daily build up a heavy layer of brake dust, road tar, and iron contamination that bonds to the finish and accelerates corrosion if left untreated. Arete uses dedicated wheel cleaners and brushes sized for each spoke pattern to dissolve and remove that buildup safely without scratching the finish.

Final Walkaround

Before we pack up, we walk the entire vehicle with you — exterior panels in direct light, interior surfaces in full, and every area included in your selected service. If anything doesn't meet the standard, we address it on the spot before you sign off.

Marietta Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Marietta's climate throws a distinct challenge at vehicle exteriors and interiors with every season — from spring pollen that coats everything in yellow to summer storms that streak water minerals across fresh paint. Staying ahead of those seasonal cycles with regular detailing is the most effective way to protect a vehicle's condition year-round.

Winter

Marietta winters are mostly mild, but the occasional ice storm sends red clay and road grime deep into wheel wells, undercarriages, and carpet fibers in a single outing. The wet conditions also mean mud finds its way into every floor mat seam and door threshold before owners even notice it accumulating. A post-storm interior and undercarriage detail clears out the damage before it grinds into surfaces and becomes a permanent issue.

Spring

Spring in Marietta is relentless — the yellow pollen that settles on every vehicle parked under the dense suburban tree canopy isn't just cosmetic, it's mildly acidic and bonds to paint and glass if left to sit in the humidity. A single week without cleaning can leave a film that a standard rinse won't fully remove, especially on darker finishes. Arete's spring decontamination detail clears pollen at the surface level and applies a protective layer before the next wave hits.

Summer

Marietta's summer thunderstorms roll through fast and leave behind mineral-heavy water spots that etch into clear coat as the humidity holds heat against the surface. Tree cover in East Cobb and the Kennesaw Mountain corridor means sap and insect residue accumulate between storms, adding another layer of contamination. A summer detail addresses both the storm aftermath and the organic buildup before either has time to harden.

Fall

Marietta's heavy oak canopy makes fall beautiful and messy in equal measure — falling leaves trap moisture against paint, and the sap and tannins they release stain clear coat and rubber seals if they sit through a rain cycle. The cooling temperatures also drive moisture into interior seams and carpet edges, especially in vehicles that spent summer with the windows down. A fall detail removes organic debris from every surface and protects the exterior before winter conditions arrive.

Why Choose Arete in Marietta

Arete was built around the reality of Marietta driving — the pollen-coated parking lots, the red clay that follows every off-road excursion, and the I-75 commute that leaves vehicles grimy before most people have had their second cup of coffee.

Every detail is finished to a level you can inspect in full before you're charged, because Marietta drivers deserve results they can actually see.

Marietta Car Detailing FAQ

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Marietta.

Do you service East Cobb in Marietta?

Absolutely — East Cobb is one of our most active service areas in Marietta. We come directly to your driveway or garage in East Cobb neighborhoods, handling everything from pollen-coated paint to mud-caked floor mats left behind by busy family schedules and weekend sports runs.

Can you detail near Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park in Marietta?

Yes, we regularly service vehicles in and around the Kennesaw Mountain area. It's a great location to schedule a detail — drop your car and hit the trails, and we'll have it cleaned up by the time you're back from your hike.

What package should I get for red clay soil and spring pollen in Marietta?

Marietta's combination of Georgia red clay and intense spring pollen is tough on both paint and interiors, so we recommend our full detail package that includes an exterior decontamination wash, paint-safe clay treatment, and a thorough interior vacuum and shampoo to lift clay particles from carpet fibers and mats.

What package is best for regular maintenance detailing in Marietta?

For Marietta drivers who want to stay on top of things, our maintenance detail — covering a full exterior wash, tire and wheel cleaning, and interior wipe-down and vacuum — is the perfect recurring service. Given the constant pollen, road dust, and summer humidity here, we recommend booking every four to six weeks to keep your vehicle protected year-round.

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

Yes — SUVs and trucks are actually our most common vehicles in Marietta, given how many families use them for lake weekends, Kennesaw Mountain trail runs, and youth sports hauling. We also detail luxury sedans, minivans, and high-end crossovers with the same care and premium products regardless of vehicle type.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Clicking 'See My Price' gives you an instant, accurate quote based on your specific vehicle size, condition, and the services you want — no guessing, no vague ranges. It takes less than a minute and means you'll know exactly what you're paying before you ever book an appointment.

Will the price change after I book in Marietta?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. We believe in total transparency, which is why we generate your custom quote upfront so there are no surprises on the day of your appointment in Marietta.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailers arrive focused on delivering exactly what you booked, not on pitching additional services at your door. If you ever want to add something, that conversation happens before the appointment — not during it.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

It means that if any part of your detail doesn't meet the standard you expected, we'll make it right — no hassle, no argument. We stand behind our work completely, and your satisfaction is the only measure of a job well done.

Do you have a detailing shop in Marietta?

Arete is a fully mobile detailing service, which means we bring everything to you — no shop, no drop-off, no waiting room. Our Marietta customers love that they can get a professional detail done at their home, office, or anywhere else that's convenient for them.

Do I need to provide water or power in Marietta?

In most cases, no — our mobile units are self-contained with their own water supply and power equipment. If your specific service does require access to an outdoor spigot or outlet, we'll let you know clearly when you book so there are no surprises.

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

Yes, we work in covered parking garages and apartment lots throughout Marietta, including communities along the Shallowford Road Corridor and near Vinings. Just confirm with your property management that outside vendors are permitted, and we'll handle the rest.

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

Yes — as long as the vehicle is legally parked and we have reasonable working space around it, our detailers can work on a street-parked vehicle. We're flexible and set up efficiently to work in a variety of real-world parking situations.

Do you remove red clay soil and construction dust from carpets in Marietta?

Yes — red clay is one of the most common and stubborn interior problems we deal with in Marietta, and our hot water extraction and carpet shampooing process is specifically effective at lifting clay particles and construction dust from carpet fibers and floor mats. The results are dramatic.

Can you remove every stain?

We use professional-grade stain removers and extraction equipment that eliminate the vast majority of stains, including coffee, juice, red clay mud, and food. Some stains — particularly those that have been heat-set or chemically altered over time — may be permanently bonded to fibers, and we'll always give you an honest assessment of what's achievable before we start.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is one of our most requested add-ons in Marietta, especially in SUVs and trucks used for outdoor recreation with dogs. We use specialized tools and techniques to extract embedded hair from seats, carpets, and cargo areas thoroughly.

How long does a Marietta detailing appointment take?

Appointment times vary based on your vehicle size and the package you choose — a standard exterior detail on a sedan might take about 90 minutes, while a full interior and exterior detail on a large SUV or truck can take three to four hours. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you book so you can plan your day accordingly.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Marietta?

Yes — we work with contractors, tradespeople, and small businesses throughout the Marietta area to keep their work trucks and fleet vehicles clean and presentable. Whether it's a single pickup or multiple vehicles, we can coordinate scheduling to minimize downtime.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Marietta?

Absolutely — Marietta has a strong community of Uber, Lyft, and delivery drivers who rely on clean vehicles for ratings and professionalism. We offer flexible early morning and weekend scheduling to fit around your driving hours, and our interior packages are ideal for the high-traffic wear rideshare vehicles experience.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove any personal valuables, important documents, loose change, and items you don't want moved from the vehicle before your appointment. Clearing out larger personal belongings from the interior also helps our detailers work more efficiently and ensures we can thoroughly clean every surface.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed car seats and can wipe down hard surfaces and vacuum underneath them. For a deep clean of the seat fabric and harness itself, we recommend removing the seat beforehand — refer to your manufacturer guidelines, as some harness components should not be submerged or shampooed.

What happens if it rains in Marietta?

Marietta's summer thunderstorms are no stranger to us, and we monitor weather closely for every appointment. If rain is forecasted during your scheduled time, we'll reach out proactively to reschedule at a time that works for you — exterior work in heavy rain simply won't produce the results you deserve.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Marietta?

Yes — we regularly detail BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Lexus, Porsche, and other luxury vehicles throughout Marietta and the surrounding areas. Our detailers are trained to use paint-safe, material-appropriate products and techniques that protect and enhance your vehicle's premium finishes.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather cleaning and conditioning is included in our full interior packages. We use pH-balanced leather cleaners to safely lift grime and body oils, followed by a quality conditioner that keeps the leather supple and protected against Georgia's intense heat and UV exposure.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — hot water extraction shampoo for cloth seats and carpets is one of the most impactful services we offer. It removes deeply embedded dirt, pollen, red clay residue, and odors that vacuuming alone can't touch, leaving your interior fresh and visibly cleaner.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheels and tires are included in our exterior packages. We use dedicated wheel-safe cleaners to remove brake dust and road grime from rims, and we dress the tires for a clean, finished look that completes the overall appearance of your vehicle.

Can you remove odors from a Marietta vehicle?

Yes — odor elimination is part of our interior detailing process, and we go beyond masking smells by cleaning the source. For persistent odors like mildew from Marietta's humid summers, smoke, or pet smells, we offer targeted odor treatment options that neutralize the problem at the molecular level.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard cleanup including vomit, urine, and similar situations with professional-grade sanitizing products and proper protective protocols. This is a specialty add-on service; please mention it when booking so we can prepare appropriately and price the service accurately.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected securely at the time of booking through our online platform — we accept all major credit and debit cards. There's no cash handling required, and your payment information is protected through our encrypted booking system.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We understand that schedules change, and we ask for reasonable advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Please review the cancellation policy displayed during checkout, as fees may apply for last-minute cancellations that prevent us from filling your appointment slot.

Can you come today in Marietta?

Same-day availability in Marietta depends on our current schedule, but we often have openings — especially for customers in East Cobb, near Marietta Square, or along the Cobb Parkway corridor. Use the booking tool to check real-time availability and see the earliest slot we can get to you.

What if I am not happy with something?

Contact us right away and we will make it right. Our satisfaction guarantee means we take every concern seriously, and we'll return to address any area of the detail that didn't meet your expectations at no additional cost to you.

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

For most Marietta drivers, mobile detailing is significantly more convenient — especially when I-75 and I-285 traffic makes even a short errand a time drain. Instead of dropping your car off, arranging a ride, and driving back to pick it up, Arete comes to your home or office and handles everything while you stay productive.

How often should I detail my car in Marietta?

Marietta's environment is genuinely hard on vehicles — heavy spring pollen from the dense tree cover, red clay that works into every crevice, humid summers that breed mildew, and constant highway driving that deposits road film on your paint. We recommend a full detail every three to four months, with monthly maintenance washes in between to keep your vehicle protected and looking its best year-round.
