How We Perform Maintenance Detailing
Every vehicle has different needs, which is why our maintenance detailing process is tailored to your car’s condition and driving habits. Whether you schedule cleanings every few weeks or just want regular upkeep between full details, our goal is to keep your car spotless and protected without missing a single detail.
Step 1: Inspection and Preparation
We start each appointment by walking around your vehicle to assess its condition. This helps us determine the right cleaning products and techniques for your paint, wheels, and interior surfaces.
Step 2: Exterior Cleaning and Protection
Your car receives a careful hand wash using premium, pH-balanced soaps to lift dirt and grime safely. We clean wheels, tires, and door jambs, then apply a light wax or sealant to preserve shine and paint protection until your next visit.
Step 3: Interior Cleaning and Refresh
Inside, we vacuum carpets, mats, and seats to remove dirt, crumbs, and debris. Dashboards, consoles, and door panels are wiped down to remove dust and smudges, leaving your cabin clean and comfortable.
Step 4: Glass and Finishing Touches
We finish every service by cleaning interior and exterior glass for streak-free clarity, dressing tires for a clean, satin finish, and doing a final inspection to make sure your vehicle looks its best from every angle.
Our maintenance detailing service is the perfect balance of convenience and care, helping San Diego drivers enjoy a clean, well-kept car all year long.

“I highly recommend True Shine Mobile Carwash/ Detailing Service. Jacari Cook did an outstanding job cleaning my Audi Q3 inside and out. It has not looked this good since I drove it off the showroom floor in 2016.” – Sarah King
“Ethan was absolutely amazing! He was very detail-oriented, punctual, and polite throughout the entire process. I got an interior detail, and my car looks brand new—like it just rolled off the lot! I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for top-notch car detailing.” – Abbas Rizvi
“Ethan and his helper (sorry I didn’t get his name) were on time and very friendly. I had them clean interior, exterior plus clay bar and wax my Ford F150. The truck looks beautiful and feels so smooth again. Their price was absolutely reasonable, well worth the money spent. I would recommend them to anyone needing their vehicle detailed.” – Megan Rose
How to Keep Your Car Clean Between Maintenance Details
Park in Covered or Shaded Areas
Whenever possible, park under cover or in the shade to protect your paint from harsh UV rays and heat. This simple habit helps preserve wax and sealant protection longer.
Clean Up Spills Quickly
If you notice a spill or stain inside your car, address it right away. Quick cleanups prevent permanent marks and keep odors from developing over time.
Rinse Off Dirt and Bird Droppings
Road grime, bug splatter, and bird droppings can damage your paint if left too long. A quick rinse or wipe keeps your finish looking clean and protected between visits.
Vacuum Regularly
A quick vacuum every couple of weeks keeps carpets and seats free of debris and prevents dirt from becoming embedded in fabric or fibers.
Avoid Automatic Car Washes
Touch-style car washes can leave swirl marks or scratches. Stick to gentle hand washes, or schedule a professional maintenance detail for a safer, more thorough clean.
Use Microfiber Towels
When wiping your car’s surfaces, always use soft microfiber towels. They lift dirt safely without scratching or leaving lint behind.
Schedule Regular Detailing
Even with good habits, dirt will accumulate over time. Booking maintenance detailing once or twice a month keeps your car consistently clean, protected, and looking its best.
