See Your Price Before You Book

Windsor roads are dominated by full-size trucks, work vans, and large SUVs — vehicles that take longer to detail properly and carry a lot more surface area than a compact sedan. Our pricing reflects the actual size and condition of what you're driving, not a one-size number that shortcuts the work.

1. Choose Your Vehicle

Start by selecting your vehicle type — whether you're bringing in a crew cab, a loaded SUV, or a family minivan, size is factored in from the start so Windsor drivers always see an accurate number.

2. Pick Your Package

Choose the package that matches what your vehicle actually needs — from a focused exterior detail after a rough Windsor winter to a full interior and exterior restoration.

3. Confirm Online

Your total is locked in at that point — no add-ons waiting at the door, just the price you agreed to when you booked.

No Upsells. No Bait & Switch.

You'll see the full price before anything is confirmed — no surprises added at the end, no pressure to upgrade mid-appointment. What you book is what you pay, and we'd rather earn your trust on the first visit than squeeze extra out of it.

Why Windsor Vehicles Get Dirty So Fast

Windsor vehicles face a relentless one-two punch: Ontario road salt chews through paint and undercarriages every winter, while cross-border industrial fallout from the Detroit corridor settles onto everything in between. Trucks and SUVs hauling daily commutes along Huron Church Road and the 401 accumulate layers of grime that ordinary car washes simply can't touch.

Salt-Soaked Windsor Roads

From the first freeze to the last thaw, the City of Windsor salts aggressively — and E.C. Row Expressway, Tecumseh Road, and Walker Road stay coated for months. That brine doesn't just wash off; it packs into wheel wells, clings to rocker panels, and creeps under the clear coat on full-size trucks and work vehicles. By February, most Windsor rigs are carrying more salt than the road itself.

Detroit Industrial Fallout Drifts Over

Living directly downwind of one of North America's most active industrial corridors means Windsor paint takes a hit even on dry, sunny days. Microscopic metal particles and chemical particulates drift across from the Detroit side, embedding into clear coat and leaving a rough, contaminated surface that looks dull even after a wash. Crossovers and SUVs parked near the Ambassador Bridge or the industrial strips along Walker Road tend to show the damage fastest.

Spring Pollen Blankets Everything

Windsor's location along Lake Erie means spring arrives with heavy, sustained pollen seasons that coat every horizontal surface in a thick yellow-green film. SUVs and minivans left overnight in driveways off Tecumseh Road or near the riverside parks wake up looking like they haven't moved in a week. Pollen is also mildly acidic — left to sit in the heat, it begins etching into paint before most drivers even notice it's there.

Common Vehicle Problems We See in Windsor

Every kilometre driven in Windsor leaves a mark — whether it's the salt-packed lanes of Highway 401 in January or the bug-heavy summer runs down Huron Church Road toward the bridge. The conditions here are tough enough that even newer vehicles start showing wear faster than their owners expect.

🧂 Road Salt Buildup

Where it shows up: Undercarriage, rocker panels, wheel wells, lower door edges. Windsor roads stay salted well into March, and trucks and SUVs with high ground clearance trap brine in every crevice underneath. Left untreated, it accelerates rust on frames and suspension components that are already working hard through pothole season.

🌿 Pollen Coating

Where it shows up: Hood, roof, trunk lid, windshield cowl, side mirrors. Windsor's spring pollen season hits hard and fast, leaving minivans and crossovers blanketed within hours of a fresh wash. The longer it sits in the sun, the more the acidity works against your clear coat — especially on darker paint colours.

💧 Hard Water Spots

Where it shows up: Glass, paint panels, chrome trim, mirrored surfaces. Windsor's municipal water supply leaves behind mineral deposits that etch into paint and glass when they dry in the sun. Vehicles that go through drive-through washes regularly — or get rinsed and left to air dry — tend to accumulate stubborn spotting that compounds over time.

🛞 Brake Dust

Where it shows up: Wheels, inner barrel, lower fender wells. Stop-and-go commutes through Windsor's busiest corridors — Tecumseh Road, Walker Road, and the E.C. Row Expressway at rush hour — put real heat through brakes and deposit thick, iron-rich dust on rims. On alloy wheels especially, brake dust bakes on fast and stains if it isn't removed regularly.

🐛 Bug Splatter

Where it shows up: Front bumper, grille, hood leading edge, windshield. Summer runs across the Ambassador Bridge or out Highway 401 toward Tilbury mean trucks and SUVs come back with front ends plastered in insects. Bug protein is acidic and starts breaking down clear coat quickly in Windsor's summer heat — the longer it stays, the harder it is to remove without leaving a mark.

🚬 Smoke Odor

Where it shows up: Headliner, seat fabric, carpet fibres, HVAC vents. Windsor's cross-border driving culture means many vehicles have picked up smoke odors on both sides — whether from previous owners, passengers, or years of border idling with windows down. Standard air fresheners mask the smell temporarily, but proper odor elimination requires treating the fabric, surfaces, and ventilation system directly.

Windsor Car Detailing Packages

Windsor vehicles don't just need a rinse — they need decontamination, salt removal, and protection that holds up against industrial fallout and four hard seasons. Our packages are built around what local trucks, SUVs, and commuter vehicles actually face on these roads, not a generic checklist borrowed from somewhere with milder winters.

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

Windsor's roads are hard on vehicles, and the drivers who use Arete reflect just how wide a range of people are ready for a cleaner, better-protected car. From Stellantis shift workers heading off Huron Church Road to families loading up after a weekend along the Riverfront, mobile detailing fits into real Windsor life.

Busy Professionals

Whether you're logging hours at Windsor Regional Hospital, commuting across the Ambassador Bridge, or putting in long days at the University of Windsor, your schedule doesn't leave much room for a trip to a detailing shop. Arete works around your hours so your vehicle gets a proper clean without costing you a day off.

Parents & Families

Between school runs on Tecumseh Road, weekend activities in Tecumseh and LaSalle, and everything a full minivan or SUV collects in between, family vehicles take a beating fast. Arete handles the juice spills, crumbs, and muddy footwells so you're not the one doing it after the kids are in bed.

Condo & Apartment Residents

Plenty of Windsor residents in Walkerville, downtown, and along the Riverside corridor don't have a private driveway to work from — but that's not a problem. Arete is set up to detail your vehicle right in your building's parking garage or your designated lot space.

Rideshare & Delivery Drivers

Rideshare and delivery drivers in Windsor put serious kilometres on their vehicles across the E.C. Row Expressway, Walker Road, and into Detroit-area routes, and passengers notice when an interior isn't clean. Regular detailing keeps your ratings strong and your vehicle smelling like a professional operation.

Tradespeople & Work Vehicles

Work trucks and vans moving through Windsor's industrial corridors, construction zones, and cross-border haul routes collect road grime, salt residue, and cab clutter faster than almost any other vehicle type. Arete cleans them where they're parked — at your yard, your site, or wherever they end the day.

Luxury Vehicle Owners

Windsor has no shortage of well-kept luxury vehicles, and owners in South Windsor and LaSalle know that a coin-op wash is never the right answer for paint, leather, or clear coat that deserves real care. Arete brings the product knowledge and technique those finishes require, right to your garage door.

💰 See My Price

Vehicles We Detail

Windsor roads are filled with full-size trucks, loaded SUVs, minivans, and heavy-duty work vehicles — and the sheer scale of these vehicles means a proper detail takes more time, more product, and more labour than a compact sedan. Pricing reflects the actual work involved, not a flat number that shortcuts the job on larger vehicles.

Sedans & Coupes

Sedans driven daily through Windsor's commuter corridors — including the cross-border run into Detroit — still accumulate road salt, highway grime, and interior wear that a quick wash leaves behind. A thorough detail restores the interior and protects the paint before seasonal damage has a chance to settle in.

SUVs & Crossovers

SUVs are the dominant vehicle on Windsor roads, and their extended interiors, rear cargo areas, and larger surface area mean there's simply more ground to cover for a complete clean. Whether it's a family hauler from LaSalle or a loaded crossover off a Stellantis employee lot, Arete treats the whole vehicle.

Pickup Trucks

Full-size pickup trucks are everywhere in Windsor — hauling equipment through industrial zones, commuting on the 401, and sitting in driveways across East Windsor with bed liners full of work week residue. We clean cabs, door jambs, running boards, and beds with the attention these hardworking vehicles actually earn.

Minivans

Windsor families rely on minivans to move kids, gear, and sports equipment across the city, and the interiors show every bit of that daily use. Arete works through all three rows, cleans under seats, and restores the kind of fresh interior that makes the next school run feel like a reset.

Luxury Vehicles

Luxury vehicles in Windsor deserve detailing that matches their standard — proper paint decontamination, leather conditioning, and products chosen specifically for the surfaces being treated. Arete doesn't apply a one-size-fits-all approach to a vehicle that was built with anything but that in mind.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial vehicles running Windsor's industrial routes, port roads, and cross-border freight corridors carry grime that accumulates fast and sticks harder. Arete handles fleet vans, service trucks, and work vehicles with the same thoroughness applied to personal cars — because first impressions matter even on a job site.

Where We Can Detail Your Vehicle

Windsor is a city of driveways, surface lots, and underground garages — and Arete is built to operate in all of them without asking you to rearrange your day. Wherever your vehicle is parked right now is likely somewhere we can work.

Driveways

A private driveway in South Windsor, Tecumseh, or LaSalle is the most straightforward setup — there's room to work, access to a water source nearby, and no logistics to navigate. Your detailer arrives, sets up, and gets to work while you stay home and get on with your morning.

Condo Garages

Condo parking garages in Riverside and Walkerville are fully workable for Arete — low clearance, tight stalls, and shared spaces are environments we're used to operating in cleanly and efficiently. We bring everything we need and leave the surrounding area exactly as we found it.

Apartment Parking Lots

Surface parking lots at Windsor apartment buildings work well for mobile detailing, and we coordinate access ahead of time so there are no surprises on booking day. If your building requires any lot permissions, we help you sort that out before your appointment.

Office Parking Lots

Office and hospital parking lots across Windsor are some of the most convenient places to have your vehicle detailed — your car gets cleaned while you're already inside working, and you walk out to a finished result. Arete has worked in lots from the University of Windsor to employer sites along Walker Road.

Street Parking

Street parking in older Windsor neighbourhoods like Walkerville and Central Windsor is common, and Arete can work with a street-parked vehicle when the setup allows for it. We'll confirm the specifics at booking so your detailer arrives prepared for the exact location.

Commercial Lots

Commercial and industrial lots across Windsor's east end and along Huron Church Road are practical staging points for fleet and work vehicle detailing. We can coordinate multi-vehicle bookings at a single site to keep downtime minimal and turnaround efficient.

What Makes A Professional Detail Different

A proper detail isn't a faster version of a car wash — it's a systematic process that addresses what Windsor roads actually do to a vehicle over days, weeks, and seasons. Arete works through every surface with the right tools and products, not a spray bottle and a rag.

Better Interior Access

Getting into the tight spots of a full-size Windsor truck cab or a three-row SUV requires the right tools — not just a vacuum passed over the easy surfaces. Arete uses detailing-specific attachments and slim tools to pull debris from seat tracks, seatbelt channels, and console gaps that standard cleaning never reaches.

Fabric-Safe Cleaning

Windsor upholstery takes on stains from road trip coffees, kids' spills, and muddy gear tracked in from a wet spring or a salty winter commute. Fabric-safe extractors and ph-balanced cleaners lift those stains without degrading the material or leaving residue behind.

Surface-Specific Products

Plastic trim, leather seating, painted surfaces, and chrome accents each require a different product applied correctly — not one all-purpose spray applied everywhere. Arete matches the product to the surface so nothing gets stripped, stained, or left looking worse than before.

Steam & High-Touch Areas

High-touch surfaces — steering wheels, gear selectors, door handles, and vent slats — harbour bacteria and grime that a wipe-down doesn't fully address. Steam penetrates and sanitizes these areas without chemicals that leave residue where Windsor drivers touch their vehicles every single day.

Wheel-Safe Cleaning

Windsor's heavy road salt season and the construction grit on roads like E.C. Row and Walker Road pack brake dust and corrosive residue deep into wheel faces and barrel surfaces. Arete uses iron-dissolving wheel cleaners and dedicated brushes to clear that buildup before it etches the finish.

Final Walkaround

When the work is done, your detailer walks the entire vehicle with you in good light — checking every panel, every surface, every interior section before the appointment is closed. If anything doesn't meet the standard, it gets addressed on the spot.

Windsor Seasonal Car Detailing Guide

Windsor's position between Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie means four distinct and genuinely demanding seasons, each one doing something different to your vehicle's paint, interior, and undercarriage. Staying ahead of each transition keeps damage from compounding into something a basic clean can't fix.

Winter

Windsor winters arrive with road salt spread heavily across the 401, Huron Church Road, and every residential street in the city, and that salt doesn't just sit on the surface — it climbs into wheel wells, undercarriages, and lower panel seams. Lake-effect moisture from Lake St. Clair keeps everything wet long enough for salt to work its way into every gap it can find. A thorough winter detail and protective coating before the season hits is one of the most useful things a Windsor driver can do for long-term paint and metal health.

Spring

When Windsor's road salt finally rinses away, it leaves behind residue on paint and trim that needs to be properly removed before it continues doing damage in the warmer months. Spring also brings heavy pollen from the city's mature tree cover — particularly in Walkerville and Riverside — coating every horizontal surface in a layer that holds moisture against the paint. A spring decontamination detail removes both, giving you a clean foundation before the heat of summer arrives.

Summer

Windsor summers are humid and hot, and that combination bakes bug splatter onto front bumpers and hoods faster than most drivers expect — particularly on Highway 401 runs and cross-border highway stretches. Water spots from summer rain or irrigation overspray etch into clear coat if left to sit in the heat. Regular summer detailing removes these before they become permanent, and a quality sealant keeps new contamination from bonding as aggressively.

Fall

Fallen leaves in Windsor's residential neighbourhoods sit wet against paint and glass long enough to leave tannin stains that are harder to remove the longer they linger. Early frosts begin arriving before most drivers have addressed the summer's accumulated contamination, sealing in whatever's still on the surface. A fall detail clears the slate and prepares your vehicle's paint and seals for the salt season that follows.

No matter where you live in the Windsor area, our mobile detailing team comes to you — fully equipped, fully prepared, and ready to restore your vehicle.

South Windsor

South Windsor's tree-lined streets are filled with family SUVs, minivans, and commuter vehicles that take a beating from lake-effect winters and road salt season after season. Arete brings professional interior and exterior detailing right to your driveway, so you never have to leave the neighbourhood to get a spotless vehicle.

Walkerville

Walkerville's mix of heritage homes and urban streets means vehicles often sit roadside collecting industrial dust and grime blown in from nearby corridors. Arete's mobile detailing service comes directly to your street or parking spot, giving your car the deep clean it deserves in this storied Windsor community.

Riverside

Riverside drivers enjoy stunning views of the Detroit skyline, but cross-border commutes and waterfront humidity can leave vehicles coated in grime, salt residue, and interior moisture year-round. Arete's full detailing packages are built for exactly this kind of wear, restoring your vehicle inside and out while you relax at home along the river.

Tecumseh

Tecumseh residents frequently drive trucks and larger SUVs through busy corridors like Tecumseh Road, accumulating road salt, construction dust, and seasonal mud that work deep into carpets and wheel wells. Arete's mobile detailing team handles it all on-site, delivering a thorough clean without disrupting your day in east Windsor's growing community.

LaSalle

LaSalle's suburban sprawl means longer daily drives and more opportunities for interior wear, exterior road film, and salt buildup to take hold on your vehicle. Arete Car Detailing comes right to your LaSalle home or workplace, giving your car a professional-grade refresh that keeps up with your busy lifestyle.

Frequently Serviced Windsor Areas & Landmarks

Windsor's busiest landmarks are surrounded by vehicles that sit for hours accumulating dust, bird droppings, and grime — making them perfect spots for Arete's mobile detailing service to meet you where you already are. Whether you're parked near the casino, the hospital, or the university, we can schedule around your plans and bring the detail to you.

Caesars Windsor

Visitors and employees at Caesars Windsor often leave their vehicles in surface lots and parkades for extended periods, giving road film, dust, and cross-border grime plenty of time to settle in. Arete can coordinate a detail while you're inside, so you return to a vehicle that looks as good as you feel walking out.

University of Windsor

Students, faculty, and staff at the University of Windsor park their vehicles for long stretches across campus lots, often returning to interiors packed with fast-food wrappers, coffee spills, and months of daily-commute buildup. Arete's mobile service can meet you on or near campus, turning your next long class day into a full vehicle refresh.

Windsor Regional Hospital

Healthcare workers and visitors at Windsor Regional Hospital log demanding hours and long shifts, leaving little time to worry about the state of their vehicles accumulating salt and grime in the parking structure. Arete's mobile detailing makes it easy — book during a shift and come back to a clean, fresh-smelling car waiting for you.

Devonshire Mall

Devonshire Mall's sprawling parking lot is one of Windsor's busiest, and vehicles there are constantly exposed to exhaust, road spray, and the kind of light-duty exterior film that builds up faster than most people notice. Let Arete detail your vehicle while you shop, so you pull out of that lot with a ride that turns heads on Huron Church Road.

Straight answers before you book mobile detailing in Windsor.

Do you service South Windsor and other Windsor neighbourhoods?

Absolutely — Arete Car Detailing services all Windsor neighbourhoods including South Windsor, Walkerville, Riverside, Tecumseh, East Windsor, and LaSalle. If you're in the Windsor area, we come to you with everything needed for a complete detail right at your door.

Can you detail near Caesars Windsor or other local landmarks?

Yes — we can meet you near Caesars Windsor, Devonshire Mall, Windsor Regional Hospital, the University of Windsor, and other busy Windsor locations. Just let us know where you'll be parked and we'll coordinate a time that works around your schedule.

What package do you recommend for road salt and winter grime in Windsor?

Windsor winters are hard on vehicles — lake-influenced weather, heavy road salt on E.C. Row, Huron Church, and Tecumseh Road, and industrial residue all combine to cause serious buildup. We recommend our full interior and exterior package with special attention to carpet extraction, underbody wheel wells, and paint decontamination to combat Windsor's tough seasonal conditions.

What package do you recommend for regular maintenance in Windsor?

For drivers who want to stay on top of their vehicle's condition year-round, our maintenance detail package covers interior vacuuming, wipe-downs, window cleaning, and exterior wash and polish — ideal for Windsor commuters who deal with daily road film and want their vehicle looking sharp without waiting for a full deep clean.

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

Yes — we detail all vehicle types in Windsor, from the trucks and SUVs that dominate Windsor's roads near the Stellantis Assembly Plant corridor to minivans, sedans, and high-end luxury vehicles. Our pricing and packages are sized to your specific vehicle, so you always get the right level of service.

Why do I need to click See My Price?

Every vehicle is different — size, condition, and the services you need all affect the final price. Clicking See My Price takes you through a quick, simple process so you get an accurate, transparent quote tailored to your exact vehicle and chosen package before you ever commit to booking.

Will the price change after I book in Windsor?

No — the price you see when you book is the price you pay. Arete believes in complete pricing transparency, so there are no surprise charges added on the day of your appointment in Windsor or anywhere else we serve.

Do you upsell at the appointment?

Never. Our detailers arrive focused on delivering the package you booked, not on pushing additional services you didn't ask for. If you'd like to add something, that conversation is always available — but it will never be pushed on you at the door.

What does the satisfaction guarantee mean?

It means that if you're not completely happy with the results of your Arete detail, we'll make it right — no hassle, no runaround. We stand behind every appointment we complete in Windsor and want every customer to feel confident booking with us.

Do you have a detailing shop in Windsor?

Arete operates as a fully mobile detailing service, which means we don't have a fixed shop — we come directly to your home, workplace, or wherever your vehicle is parked in Windsor. This saves you the trip and fits around your schedule rather than the other way around.

Do I need to provide water or power in Windsor?

In most cases, no — our mobile units are self-sufficient and carry their own water and power supply. If your specific booking does require access to an outdoor tap or outlet, we'll let you know clearly in advance so there are no surprises on the day.

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

Yes — we regularly service vehicles in condo and apartment parkades throughout Windsor, including buildings in Riverside and Walkerville where urban living is common. Just confirm with your property management that outside vendors are permitted, and we'll handle everything else within the space available.

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

Yes — street parking is not a problem for our mobile team. We're equipped to work in standard on-street conditions, so if your vehicle lives on a Windsor neighbourhood street rather than a driveway, we can still deliver a full professional detail right where it sits.

Do you remove road salt and construction dust from carpets in Windsor?

Yes — road salt, construction dust, and the industrial grime that builds up on Windsor roads like E.C. Row and Walker Road has a way of working deep into carpet fibres and floor mats. Our interior packages include thorough vacuuming and hot water extraction to pull out that embedded debris and leave your carpets truly clean.

Can you remove every stain?

We use professional-grade stain treatment products and techniques that address the vast majority of common stains including coffee, food, mud, and salt residue. Some stains that have been set for a long time or have penetrated deep into material may be permanently bonded, and in those cases we'll always be honest with you about what's achievable rather than overpromising.

Do you remove pet hair?

Yes — pet hair removal is included as part of our interior detailing process. Windsor pet owners know how thoroughly fur works its way into upholstery and carpet fibres, and our team uses the proper tools to extract it effectively during every applicable interior service.

How long does a Windsor detailing appointment take?

Appointment length depends on the size of your vehicle, its current condition, and the package you've selected. A standard detail typically runs between two and four hours, while a more intensive deep-clean package on a larger truck or SUV may take longer. You'll have a clear time estimate when you book.

Can you detail work trucks or fleet vehicles in Windsor?

Yes — Windsor's automotive and industrial heritage means there are plenty of hard-working trucks and fleet vehicles on the road, and we're fully equipped to handle them. Whether it's a single work truck or multiple fleet vehicles, contact us to discuss a service plan that keeps your equipment looking professional.

Can you clean rideshare or delivery vehicles in Windsor?

Absolutely — rideshare and delivery drivers in Windsor put serious mileage and wear on their vehicles, and a clean interior is essential for ratings and professionalism. Arete can get your vehicle turned around quickly and thoroughly so you're back on the road with a fresh, client-ready interior as soon as possible.

What should I remove before the detailer arrives?

Please remove any personal valuables, important documents, loose items from the seats and floor, and anything in the trunk you'd prefer to keep private. The more cleared out the interior is beforehand, the more efficiently our team can focus on actually cleaning every surface of your vehicle.

Do you clean child car seats?

We clean around installed child car seats and address the surrounding seat and carpet areas thoroughly. For a deep clean of the seat itself, we recommend removing it prior to the appointment so our team can properly access the upholstery or carpet beneath it without risk of damaging the harness or installation.

What happens if it rains in Windsor?

Windsor weather can shift quickly, especially with lake influence from Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. If rain is in the forecast on your appointment day, we'll reach out to discuss rescheduling or work under covered parking when available. We never rush a detail to beat the weather — your results matter more than the schedule.

Can you detail luxury vehicles in Windsor?

Yes — Arete uses products and techniques appropriate for high-end paint finishes, premium leather, and delicate trim materials found in luxury vehicles. Whether you drive a European sedan or a luxury North American truck through Windsor, your vehicle will be treated with the care and attention it deserves.

Do you clean leather seats?

Yes — leather seat cleaning and conditioning is part of our interior packages. We use leather-safe cleaners to lift dirt and oils from the surface, followed by a conditioner that keeps the leather supple and protected against Windsor's humidity swings and dry winter air.

Do you shampoo cloth seats and carpets?

Yes — cloth seat shampooing and carpet hot water extraction are available as part of our deeper interior packages. This process lifts embedded dirt, salt residue, food stains, and odour-causing bacteria from fabric fibres far more effectively than vacuuming alone can achieve.

Do you clean exterior wheels and tires?

Yes — wheel and tire cleaning is included in our exterior detailing packages. Windsor roads leave brake dust, road salt, and road film baked onto wheels, and we treat them with appropriate wheel-safe cleaners to restore their appearance and protect against continued buildup.

Can you remove odors from a Windsor vehicle?

Yes — odour elimination is part of our interior deep-clean process. Whether the smell comes from road salt and moisture tracked in during a Windsor winter, food, pets, or cigarette smoke, we target the source through thorough cleaning and odour-neutralizing treatment rather than simply masking it with fragrance.

Do you clean vomit or biohazards?

Yes — we handle biohazard situations including vomit, and we treat these cleanups with the seriousness and thoroughness they require. Additional charges apply for biohazard cleaning given the products, time, and care involved, and we'll be upfront about that before the appointment begins.

How do I pay?

Payment is simple and handled digitally — we accept all major credit and debit cards processed securely at the time of your appointment. There's no need for cash, and you'll receive a clear record of your transaction for your own records.

Is there a cancellation fee?

We understand that plans change. We ask for reasonable notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your Windsor appointment so our team can adjust their day accordingly. Please review the cancellation policy provided at booking, and when in doubt, reach out as early as possible and we'll work with you.

Can you come today in Windsor?

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

For most Windsor drivers, mobile detailing is a significantly better experience — there's no driving across town on E.C. Row or waiting in a shop lobby for hours. We come to your home, workplace, or wherever your vehicle is, work around your schedule, and deliver the same professional results without any of the inconvenience of a fixed-location shop.

How often should I detail my car in Windsor?

Windsor's conditions make regular detailing more important than in many Canadian cities — heavy road salt from October through April, industrial dust near manufacturing corridors, cross-border grime, and high humidity all accelerate wear on paint, interiors, and trim. We recommend a full detail at least twice a year with maintenance details in between, ideally after winter salt season ends and again heading into fall.
