Living in the Pacific Northwest — especially places like Vancouver and Ridgefield, WA — means your car faces constant rain, mud, pollen, and even tree sap. That’s why so many of our clients ask us:

“How often should I get my car detailed?”

Here’s your expert answer, based on real conditions in Washington.

🚗 Exterior Detailing: Every 2–3 Months

Between rain, bugs, bird droppings, and road grime, your car’s paint takes a beating. We recommend exterior detailing every 2–3 months to:

  • Protect your clear coat

  • Maintain paint shine

  • Prevent oxidation and scratches

A ceramic coating can reduce how often you need full exterior services — more on that below.

🪑 Interior Detailing: Every 3–4 Months

Think about what’s in your interior:

  • Coffee spills ☕

  • Kids, pets, snacks, and crumbs 🧃🐾

  • Dust and bacteria in the vents 😷

In rainy, muddy weather, it's easy to track dirt inside.That’s why we suggest full interior detailing every 3–4 months, or more often for rideshare or daily-use vehicles.

💎 Bonus: Clay Bar, Wax, or Ceramic Coating?

To extend the life of your exterior, adding a clay bar and wax every few months keeps things protected.Or upgrade to a ceramic coating for 2–5 years of paint protection — perfect for harsh Ridgefield and Vancouver conditions.

🧼 What If I Want to Keep It Clean All Year?

Easy. We offer maintenance detail plans for customers who want regular cleanings with no hassle. We’ll come to your home or office on a schedule that fits your lifestyle.
