See Your Price Before You Book

Palm Beach driveways are home to everything from full-size Range Rover Autobiographies to low-slung European coupes, and vehicle size directly affects how long a proper detail takes and what it costs. A compact two-door roadster and a large luxury SUV need very different amounts of product, time, and attention — so we price by vehicle size to make sure every car gets exactly what it needs.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type, whether you're booking a sleek European sedan, a full-size luxury SUV, or anything in between.

Why Palm Beach Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Palm Beach looks immaculate, but the Atlantic salt air drifting across A1A clings to paint and chrome around the clock, quietly accelerating corrosion even on cars that never touch the beach. Add the seasonal pollen drops from the island's royal palms and the bug-splattered commutes along US-1, and even a freshly washed Bentley can look neglected within days.

Sand Works Into Everything

Every trip to a beachside parking spot near Ocean Boulevard loads your floor mats, door sills, and trunk liner with fine Atlantic sand that grinds against surfaces like sandpaper. Convertible owners and golf cart riders bring it back to their Range Rovers and Mercedes SUVs without even realizing it. That same gritty residue works into seat seams and under floor mats, making a quick vacuum far less effective than a thorough extraction.

Pollen Coats Every Surface

Palm Beach's lush landscaping along Southern Boulevard and the shaded lanes near the golf clubs releases heavy pollen that settles across hoods, rooftops, and trunk lids in a visible yellow-green film. When morning dew or a passing summer shower mixes with that pollen, it bonds to clear coat and works into trim crevices. Left untreated, it etches into the finish of high-gloss paint found on the BMWs and Rolls-Royces that call Palm Beach home.

Bugs Hit Hard Here

The evening commute across the bridges connecting Palm Beach to West Palm Beach turns every front bumper and grille into a bug cemetery, especially during Florida's warmer months when insects swarm near the water. Luxury sedans and convertibles traveling Okeechobee Boulevard at highway speed accumulate splatter that hardens into paint-damaging acid within hours if left in the heat. Chrome grilles and painted bumpers on high-end vehicles are especially vulnerable, since bug proteins begin etching the surface long before they're visible.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Palm Beach

Driving in Palm Beach means your vehicle faces a combination of coastal corrosion, subtropical weather, and heavy organic fallout that few other zip codes can match. From the salt haze rolling off the Atlantic to the sudden summer downpours that leave hard water marks on a freshly parked Mercedes, the island's environment works against your paint every single day.

🏖️ Sand in Carpets & Upholstery

Where it shows up: Floor mats, carpet fibers, seat seams, trunk liner. Fine beach sand from Palm Beach's Atlantic shoreline is deceptively destructive — it embeds deep into carpet pile where regular vacuuming can't reach. Every step into the vehicle after a day near the ocean grinds those particles further into the fibers, wearing them down from the inside out.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, windows, side mirrors. Palm Beach's afternoon downpours leave mineral-laden water droplets that bake onto paint in the intense Florida sun before they can evaporate cleanly. On dark-colored luxury sedans and SUVs, these spots become visible almost immediately and can etch into the clear coat if not treated promptly.

🐛 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, grille, hood leading edge, windshield. The warm, humid air around Palm Beach's waterways and bridges creates ideal conditions for heavy insect activity, turning every drive into a collision course. Bug acids begin softening and staining paint within hours on a hot day, and chrome grilles on Bentleys and Range Rovers are particularly susceptible to permanent pitting.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Horizontal paint surfaces, windshield, convertible tops, window seals. The dense tropical landscaping lining Palm Beach's private estates and golf club drives releases waves of pollen that settle across every horizontal surface. When humidity or light rain activates it, the pollen becomes adhesive and begins bonding to clear coat, leaving a hazy residue that dulls even the deepest paint finishes.

🌊 Salt Air & Water Staining

Where it shows up: Chrome trim, door handles, wheel faces, convertible hardware, painted surfaces. Just blocks from the Atlantic, salt-laden air deposits a fine, corrosive film on every exterior surface — accelerating oxidation on paint and pitting chrome trim on vehicles parked in open driveways near the water. Even garaged vehicles in Palm Beach show salt-related wear faster than cars in inland Florida cities, simply due to the constant coastal humidity.

🌳 Tree Sap

Where it shows up: Roof, hood, trunk lid, windows. Palm Beach's canopy of palms, ficus, and sea grapes drop sticky sap onto vehicles parked along residential streets and near the marina. In the South Florida heat, that sap hardens quickly into a bond that standard washing won't break, and if left too long it pulls clear coat with it when removed improperly.

Palm Beach Car Detailing Packages

Most Palm Beach vehicles need more than a basic wash to stay in true showroom condition — the salt air, pollen, and hard water the island dishes out daily call for real paint correction and protection. Whether you're maintaining a daily driver on US-1 or preserving a weekend convertible that lives near the ocean, we have a package built around what the Palm Beach environment actually does to your vehicle.

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

Palm Beach draws one of the most vehicle-conscious populations in Florida — from wealth managers commuting over the Southern Boulevard bridge to seasonal residents who only want the best for their Bentley during the winter season. Arete serves every driver on the island and beyond, bringing professional results to wherever life keeps their vehicle.

Busy Professionals

Professionals working in financial services firms along Okeechobee Boulevard or making the daily run to Good Samaritan Medical Center don't have hours to spare at a detail shop. Arete fits the detail around your workday so your car is clean and ready without costing you a single billable hour.

Parents & Families

Between school drop-offs on Palm Beach County roads and weekend runs to Phil Foster Park, family vehicles take a real beating inside and out. Arete tackles the crushed snacks, sandy footwells, and sunscreen-smeared door panels that come with raising kids near the water.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Residents in Palm Beach condo buildings often have no access to a hose or outdoor wash space, making traditional detailing nearly impossible to arrange. Arete works within structured garages and assigned parking stalls, using self-contained equipment that requires no exterior water hookup from the building.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare drivers navigating Palm Beach traffic along US-1 and picking up guests outside The Breakers know that a spotless interior directly affects their ratings. Arete keeps your vehicle smelling fresh and looking passenger-ready between busy season rushes when the snowbird crowd floods every route.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Contractors and tradespeople working luxury renovation projects across Palm Beach proper deal with cement dust, paint overspray, and salt-laced road grime that accumulates fast. A clean, professional-looking work vehicle reflects the standard of the job — and Arete helps you maintain that image on an island where appearances matter.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Owners of Bentleys, Range Rovers, and high-spec convertibles parked along A1A know that salt air and hard water spots can degrade a flawless finish faster than anywhere inland. Arete uses paint-safe, surface-specific products calibrated for the delicate coatings and open-pore leathers found in Palm Beach's most prized vehicles.

💰 See My Price

Vehicles We Detail

Palm Beach roads are lined with everything from sleek European sedans to oversized luxury SUVs and golf carts — and the size, surface type, and interior complexity of each vehicle directly shapes what a proper detail requires. Arete prices transparently by vehicle class so you're never paying a flat rate that ignores the reality of what your specific car actually demands.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans along Palm Beach's A1A corridors collect salt film on their lower body panels and hard water spots on glass after every summer downpour. A thorough detail restores that clean, polished profile that stands out in a Breakers valet line or a Worth Avenue parking space.

SUVs & Crossovers

The large luxury SUVs favored by Palm Beach families and seasonal residents bring serious interior square footage — three rows, cargo areas, and oversized floor mats all need dedicated attention. Outside, their taller body panels and roof lines catch the salt spray and pollen that blow in off the Atlantic with every passing weather system.

Pickup Trucks

High-end pickup trucks used by Palm Beach tradespeople and weekend adventurers accumulate road grime from I-95 runs and debris from hurricane-season cleanup in the bed and undercarriage. Arete addresses both the working surfaces and the premium cab interiors that most truck owners care about keeping in showroom condition.

Minivans

Minivans hauling families between Palm Beach County schools, sports practices, and beach days develop interior wear that goes well beyond surface dirt — stained upholstery, sticky cup holders, and ground-in sand become the norm fast. Arete's interior process is thorough enough to reset even the most heavily used family hauler to a clean baseline.

Luxury Vehicles

A Rolls-Royce, Bentley, or top-spec Mercedes parked near Ibis Golf and Country Club or in a Palm Beach waterfront driveway deserves a level of care that accounts for every sensitive surface — from aniline leather to hand-finished exterior trim. Arete treats high-value vehicles with product selections and techniques that match the standards of the car itself, not just a general detailing checklist.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles servicing Palm Beach's hospitality and retail sector — from resort supply vans to luxury concierge shuttles — represent the brand they carry on every trip down Dixie Highway. Arete keeps fleet and commercial vehicles clean enough to reflect the premium environments they serve, on a schedule that doesn't interrupt operations.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Palm Beach presents a uniquely varied parking landscape — gated estate driveways, structured condo garages, marina-adjacent surface lots, and metered street spots along Royal Poinciana Way all serve as the starting point for an Arete detail. Wherever your vehicle rests between drives, that's exactly where we bring the equipment and get to work.

Driveways

Palm Beach estate and residential driveways give Arete the ideal setup — ample space, no foot traffic interruptions, and the privacy to work methodically through every panel and surface. Whether the home is in El Cid or a waterfront compound on the north end of the island, a driveway detail means your vehicle never leaves the property.

Condo Garages

Structured parking garages in Palm Beach condo towers are no obstacle for Arete's self-contained mobile setup, which requires no building water access and fits within standard stall dimensions. Residents get a full professional detail without coordinating with building management or giving up their assigned parking space for the day.

Apartment Parking Lots

Apartment surface lots in neighborhoods like Flamingo Park and SoSo give Arete enough working room to set up and deliver a complete detail without disrupting other residents. We work quickly and quietly, leaving the lot exactly as we found it — minus the salt film and pollen coating your vehicle arrived with.

Office Parking Lots

Office and financial district parking lots along Okeechobee Boulevard are a natural fit for a midday detail — your car gets a full service while you're in meetings, and you return to a clean vehicle without adjusting your schedule at all. Arete handles the logistics of working in shared lots professionally and without interfering with neighboring vehicles.

Street Parking

Street parking along Palm Beach's side streets and A1A corridors works fine for Arete's mobile setup, provided there's reasonable access around the vehicle. Salt air and hard water spots hit street-parked cars especially hard here, making regular detailing more than just cosmetic — it's active paint protection.

Commercial Lots

Commercial lots serving Palm Beach's retail corridors and marina facilities see constant vehicle turnover, but Arete can coordinate a detail during off-peak hours when your vehicle has room to breathe. Whether you're parked near a Worth Avenue boutique or a waterfront dock, we come to you and work within the space available.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A drive-through wash rinses the surface and leaves everything else behind — the salt that's worked into door jambs, the love bug residue baked onto the hood after a summer drive on US-1, and the interior grime that builds up unnoticed over a season. Arete works through a complete process that treats the vehicle as a whole, not just the parts that are visible at a glance.

Better Interior Access

Getting into the tight corners of a Range Rover third row, the cargo well of a Bentley SUV, or the deep footwells of a convertible requires tools designed for the job — not a shop vac and a general-purpose brush. Arete's interior access equipment reaches the areas that accumulate the most debris in the vehicle types Palm Beach drivers actually own.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Upholstery in Palm Beach vehicles takes on a specific kind of wear — sunscreen residue, salt transferred from beach gear, and the humidity that lingers after every summer storm. Arete uses fabric-safe extraction and cleaning solutions that lift that embedded grime without weakening the fibers or leaving moisture trapped in the seat cushions.

Surface-Specific Products

Painted surfaces, chrome trim, tinted glass, and soft-close rubber seals each respond differently to cleaning chemistry, and using the wrong product on the wrong surface leaves a mark. Arete selects surface-appropriate solutions for every zone of the vehicle — nothing that strips a wax coat, etches a clear bra, or dulls a hand-finished trim piece.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch interior surfaces — steering wheels, center console controls, door pull handles, and air vents — carry more bacteria and residue than any other part of a vehicle's cabin. Arete uses steam to sanitize and loosen buildup from these areas without introducing excess moisture or chemical residue to the surfaces your hands contact most.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Wheels on Palm Beach vehicles collect brake dust, salt residue, and road film from everything between A1A's beachside curves and the stop-and-go of the bridges connecting to West Palm Beach. Arete cleans each wheel face, spoke gap, and barrel thoroughly — because salt left in those crevices doesn't just look bad, it corrodes.

Final Walkaround

Before the job is closed out, your Arete technician walks every panel, surface, and interior zone with you — nothing is signed off until you've seen the work firsthand and are fully satisfied. It's a standard we hold to on every detail, regardless of the vehicle or location.

Palm Beach Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Palm Beach's climate is relentless on vehicle finishes — the dry winter season, the punishing summer rains, and everything that hurricane season deposits between August and October each create distinct damage patterns that compound if they go unaddressed. Staying ahead of the season is the most effective form of paint and interior protection available to Palm Beach drivers.

Winter

Palm Beach winters bring the snowbird influx, doubling traffic on US-1 and Worth Avenue and filling every valet lot from The Breakers to Ibis Golf and Country Club. Dry conditions mean heavy pollen settling across hoods and windshields daily, while love bug swarms leave acidic residue that can etch paint if it sits through the warm afternoons. A winter detail before the season peaks sets a clean, protected baseline before the island's most demanding months begin.

Spring

As the snowbird crowd thins and palm trees begin shedding, vehicles parked under canopy along Palm Beach's residential streets collect organic debris that traps moisture against the paint. Love bug activity intensifies through April and May, and the oily splatter they leave on grilles, hoods, and windshields needs to be removed promptly before the heat bakes it in. A spring detail clears the winter's accumulated wear and prepares the vehicle for the rainy season ahead.

Summer

Summer in Palm Beach means daily afternoon downpours that rinse the surface but leave behind hard water mineral deposits and stir up road grime from Okeechobee Boulevard and Southern Boulevard. The humidity that follows every storm keeps interiors damp and promotes mildew growth in carpet fibers and upholstery seams. A mid-summer interior and exterior detail pulls that moisture-driven buildup before it becomes a persistent odor or a finish problem.

Fall

Hurricane season keeps Palm Beach on alert through October, and even storms that don't make landfall deposit salt spray and airborne debris across every parked vehicle on the island. Tree sap, leaf tannins, and wind-driven grit settle into paint and trim and start breaking down the clear coat if they go untreated. A post-storm or late-fall detail removes what the season left behind and prepares the vehicle's finish for the dry winter months to come.

Palm Beach Car Detailing FAQ

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Palm Beach.

Do you service Palm Beach Shores in Palm Beach?

Absolutely — Arete Car Detailing services Palm Beach Shores as well as Palm Beach proper, El Cid, Flamingo Park, SoSo, and Ibis Golf and Country Club. Our mobile team travels throughout the Palm Beach area so you never have to leave your neighborhood to get a professional-grade detail.

Can you detail near The Breakers Palm Beach?

Yes, we can coordinate detailing service near The Breakers or anywhere along Palm Beach's barrier island corridor. Whether your vehicle is parked at a nearby residence, a marina, or a private lot, we'll come to you and have it looking resort-worthy in no time.

What package is best for salt air and sun damage in Palm Beach?

For Palm Beach's constant salt air, intense UV exposure, and heavy summer rain, we strongly recommend our full exterior detail with paint decontamination and a protective wax or sealant finish. This combination removes oxidation-causing salt residue, shields against the subtropical sun, and helps water sheet off cleanly after the next downpour.

What package is best for regular maintenance in Palm Beach?

For ongoing upkeep, our maintenance detail package is ideal and can be scheduled on a recurring basis to stay ahead of Palm Beach's harsh coastal conditions. Regular washing, interior wipe-downs, and tire dressing keep your vehicle consistently clean without letting salt, humidity, or dust build up over time.

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

Yes, Arete services every vehicle type in Palm Beach, from family SUVs and minivans to full-size trucks and ultra-luxury vehicles like Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Porsches, and exotic sports cars. Our packages are priced by vehicle size and type, so you always get a fair, transparent quote tailored to what you drive.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Clicking See My Price gives you an instant, accurate quote based on your specific vehicle type, size, and the services you want — no guessing, no vague estimates. It takes just a few seconds and ensures the price you see is exactly what we've priced for your car before you ever book.

Will the price change after I book in Palm Beach?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay, period. Arete believes in full transparency, and we never hit customers with surprise charges or add-on fees once we arrive at your Palm Beach location.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

We do not upsell at the appointment. Our detailers are there to perform the services you booked, not to pressure you into spending more once we're standing next to your car. If you ever want to add a service, that conversation happens on your terms and in advance.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

Our satisfaction guarantee means that if something isn't right when we finish, we'll make it right — no arguments, no hassle. Simply let us know before we leave or contact us promptly after the appointment and we will return to address anything that didn't meet your expectations.

Do you have a detailing shop in Palm Beach?

Arete is a fully mobile detailing service, which means we bring the shop to you rather than asking you to drive anywhere. This is especially convenient in Palm Beach, where bridge traffic, limited parking, and a busy lifestyle make dropping a car off at a fixed location a genuine inconvenience.

Do I need to provide water or power in Palm Beach?

In most cases, access to a standard outdoor water spigot and a grounded electrical outlet is helpful and appreciated. However, if you're at a location where those aren't available — such as a marina dock or a guest parking area — just let us know in advance and we'll do our best to accommodate with self-contained equipment.

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

Yes, we regularly detail vehicles inside condo and apartment garages throughout the Palm Beach area, including high-rises near the waterfront and buildings close to Worth Avenue. Just confirm with your building management that outside service providers are allowed in the garage and let us know of any height restrictions or access procedures.

Can you clean a vehicle parked on the street in Palm Beach?

Yes, we can work on vehicles parked on residential streets or legal public parking areas throughout Palm Beach. Just make sure the spot will be available for the duration of the appointment and that street cleaning schedules won't interfere with the booking time.

Do you remove salt air residue and sand from carpets in Palm Beach?

Absolutely — salt residue, beach sand, and the fine grit that blows in off the Atlantic are among the most common interior complaints we hear from Palm Beach clients. Our interior detail includes thorough vacuuming, carpet shampooing, and mat cleaning to extract embedded particles and leave your floors fresh and clean.

Can you remove every stain?

We work hard to remove or significantly reduce the vast majority of stains using professional-grade cleaners and extraction equipment. Some stains that have been set for a long time or caused by certain chemicals may not come out completely, and we'll always be honest with you about what's realistic before we begin.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes, pet hair removal is part of our interior detailing process, and we use specialized tools designed to pull embedded hair from carpet fibers and upholstery. If your vehicle has heavy pet hair accumulation, we recommend noting it at booking so we can allocate the proper time for a thorough job.

How long does a Palm Beach detailing appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the package and vehicle size, but most standard details range from 1.5 to 3 hours, while full interior and exterior packages on larger vehicles can take up to 4 to 5 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 Palm Beach?

Yes, Arete details work trucks and can accommodate fleet vehicles for businesses operating in and around the Palm Beach area. Contact us directly to discuss fleet pricing and scheduling options that keep your vehicles clean and professionally presented without disrupting your operations.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Palm Beach?

Definitely — Uber, Lyft, and delivery drivers navigating the busy routes along US-1, Okeechobee Boulevard, and the bridges into Palm Beach can put serious wear on a vehicle's interior. We offer frequent-use packages that keep rideshare and delivery vehicles fresh, odor-free, and presentable for every passenger and pickup.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove personal belongings, valuables, loose items in the trunk or back seat, and any important documents before we arrive. This allows our detailer to work efficiently through every surface without having to move or inventory your personal items.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed child car seats as thoroughly as possible, but we do not remove or reinstall them for liability and safety reasons. If you'd like the area beneath the seat cleaned, we recommend removing and reinstalling the seat yourself before and after the appointment.

What happens if it rains in Palm Beach?

Palm Beach's afternoon summer storms are legendary, and we monitor weather closely before every appointment. If rain is expected to interfere with an exterior detail, we'll contact you to reschedule at no charge or, if a covered parking area is available, we may be able to complete the work under shelter.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Palm Beach?

Luxury vehicle detailing is one of our specialties, and Palm Beach's concentration of Rolls-Royces, Bentleys, Porsches, Lamborghinis, and custom builds means we have extensive experience with high-end paint systems, delicate trim materials, and the elevated expectations that come with owning a prestige automobile.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes, leather cleaning and conditioning is included in our interior detail packages. We use pH-balanced products designed to clean without stripping natural oils, followed by a conditioner that keeps leather soft and prevents the cracking that Palm Beach's heat and UV exposure can accelerate.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes, hot water extraction shampooing of cloth seats and carpets is part of our full interior service. This process lifts embedded dirt, neutralizes odors, and removes stains far more effectively than surface-level wiping, leaving your interior genuinely clean rather than just looking it.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes, wheels and tires are included in our exterior detail packages. We degrease brake dust and road grime from wheels, scrub tire sidewalls, and apply a tire dressing that gives a clean, finished look appropriate for everything from a family SUV to a weekend sports car on Palm Beach's roads.

Can you remove odors from a Palm Beach vehicle?

Yes, we address odors through thorough interior cleaning, fabric shampooing, and odor-neutralizing treatments rather than simply masking them with fragrances. Palm Beach's humidity can trap musty, mildewy smells in upholstery and carpets, and our process targets those odors at the source for a genuinely fresh result.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

We do handle biohazard cleanup including vomit, and we use appropriate sanitizing agents to thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas. Please disclose any biohazard situations at the time of booking so we can bring the correct products and allocate sufficient time for proper remediation.

How do I pay?

Payment is collected digitally at the time of booking or at the completion of service, and we accept all major credit cards as well as common digital payment methods. There are no cash requirements and no awkward on-site payment exchanges — the process is simple and secure from start to finish.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We ask for reasonable advance notice if you need to cancel or reschedule so we can offer your time slot to another customer. Please check the cancellation policy displayed during the booking process, and when in doubt, reach out to us as early as possible and we'll do our best to work with you.

Can you come today in Palm Beach?

Same-day availability in Palm Beach depends on our current schedule, but we frequently have openings and it's always worth checking. Use the booking tool to see available slots for today, or give us a call and we'll do our best to get a detailer out to you as quickly as possible.

What if I am not happy with something?

Customer satisfaction is at the core of everything we do at Arete, and if you're not happy with any aspect of the service, contact us right away and we will make it right. We stand behind our work and will return to address any concerns without charging you again for the corrected service.

Is mobile detailing better than going to a shop in Palm Beach?

For Palm Beach residents, mobile detailing is often a far superior option — there's no need to navigate bridge traffic, sit in a waiting room, or arrange a ride back home while your car is serviced. We come to your driveway, marina slip, or condo parking spot and handle everything while you enjoy your day, which is exactly the kind of convenience this lifestyle demands.

How often should I detail my car in Palm Beach?

Given Palm Beach's salt air, intense subtropical sun, heavy summer rains, and the winter influx that increases road grime on A1A and US-1, we recommend a full detail every 3 to 4 months with a maintenance wash in between. Vehicles parked outdoors near the water or driven frequently may benefit from even more regular attention to stay ahead of paint oxidation and interior wear.
