In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for comprehensive car detailing can be challenging. However, maintaining your vehicle’s cleanliness is essential for both aesthetics and longevity. At Premier Autos Detailing, we understand the need for efficient solutions. Here’s a streamlined guide to help you detail your car in under an hour.
1. Prepare Your Tools and Products (5 Minutes)

-
Two buckets (one with soapy water, one with clean water)
-
Microfiber towels
-
All-purpose cleaner
-
Glass cleaner
-
Tire and wheel cleaner
-
Vacuum cleaner

Having everything within reach minimizes interruptions and keeps the process smooth.
2. Interior Quick Clean (15 Minutes)
a. Declutter
Remove all personal items, trash, and floor mats. This step clears the way for effective cleaning.
b. Vacuum
Use a vacuum to clean seats, carpets, and mats. Pay special attention to crevices and under the seats.
c. Wipe Surfaces
Spray an all-purpose cleaner on a microfiber towel and wipe down the dashboard, console, and door panels. For stubborn spots, let the cleaner sit for a few seconds before wiping.
d. Clean Windows
Use a glass cleaner to wipe the interior windows, ensuring a streak-free finish.
For a deeper interior clean, consider our Interior Only Detailing Package, which includes steam cleaning and stain removal.
3. Exterior Wash and Shine (25 Minutes)
a. Wheels and Tires
Spray wheel cleaner on the tires and rims. Use a brush to scrub away dirt and brake dust, then rinse thoroughly.

Use clean microfiber towels to dry the car, preventing water spots. Drying from top to bottom ensures efficiency.
