The short answer
A truck detail starts with the dirtiest areas, which on a truck are the bed, the wheel wells, and the lower panels, and works up. A Full Detail on a truck starts at $225 and a Full Detail at $225.
The difference from a car is not difficulty. It is that a truck usually has a working half and a personal half, and they need different things.
The bed, and what can honestly be done with it
A spray-in liner cleans up well: degreaser, agitation, rinse, and it looks close to new. A drop-in plastic liner traps grit and moisture underneath and should be pulled to be cleaned properly. A bare painted bed can be washed and protected but it will show every scrape it has earned.
What no detail fixes is gouging and rust in a bare bed. We will clean it, protect it, and tell you honestly what it is going to look like when we are done.
Where truck grime actually lives
| Area | What is in it | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Wheel wells and liners | Packed mud, gravel, road salt film | Pressure-safe rinse and dedicated cleaner |
| Bed and tailgate seams | Grit, sawdust, spilled material | Blow out, degrease, rinse, dress |
| Rocker panels and mud flaps | Tar and road grime | Tar remover, never abrasive scrubbing |
| Cab floor | Job-site dust ground into carpet | Compressed air, then extraction |
| Door seals and steps | Grime that transfers onto your legs | Detail brushes and steam |
The five areas that decide how a truck looks
The working cabin
Work truck interiors fail in a predictable order: the driver's seat bolster, the steering wheel, the door handle area, and the floor in front of the driver. That is not neglect, it is contact wear, and it responds well to steam and proper conditioning far more than to another vacuum.
All-weather mats are the single best investment for a working truck. They cost less than one carpet extraction and they take the abuse the carpet otherwise absorbs. If the carpet is already there, a Interior Detail with extraction starts at $149.
Book a truck detail
Trucks are priced in our SUV and truck class: Full Detail from $225, Full Detail from $225. Running several company trucks? Fleet work is priced separately.
Lifted, off-road, and towing rigs
Lifted trucks need more time simply because the roof and upper panels are harder to reach safely, and the undercarriage collects far more. Off-road use packs mud into places that need to be blown out before water is introduced, or the mud just moves.
Towing rigs collect a specific film on the tailgate and rear bumper from the trailer, and it responds to a tar and adhesive remover rather than to more soap.
