How often you should detail your car depends on how you drive. Here’s the simplest schedule for keeping your car clean and protected.
There’s no single rule for how often a car should be detailed. It really depends on how you use your vehicle — weather, roads, kids, pets, and parking habits all play a part. But there is a general timeline that keeps your car looking great year-round.
🤝 And the cleaner your car stays, the longer your interior and paint will last.
Most drivers should aim for:
If you:
✔ park outside
✔ drive in winter / salted roads
✔ spill drinks or have kids & pets
→ You may want more frequent care.
It’s easier (and cheaper) to maintain cleanliness than fix damage later.
Your detailing needs increase if you:
Your lifestyle determines the right plan — not just the calendar.
A clean car is more comfortable to drive — and worth more when you decide to sell. Sticking to a simple detailing routine protects both your upholstery and paint over time.
