Straight answers
Full Interior Detail questions before you book.
How long does a Full Interior Detail take?+
Two to three hours for a car or crossover. Larger vehicles, heavy soiling and embedded pet hair run longer, and we will tell you the realistic window when you book rather than quote a time we cannot keep.
Do you do carpet extraction, or just shampoo?+
Hot-water extraction. Solution goes into the carpet and is pulled straight back out with the dissolved soil, instead of being scrubbed in and left to dry. It is the difference between a carpet that looks clean today and one that still looks clean in six months.
Can you get pet hair out?+
Yes, and it is done first — dry, before any moisture is introduced. Embedded hair in heavily used vehicles takes real extra time, so send photos when you book and we will quote it honestly rather than rushing it on the day.
Will this remove smoke or pet odor?+
Cleaning the source removes most of it, because odor lives in the fibre and the headliner, not in the air. For anything stubborn, add the Odor Bomb at $50 — an enclosed treatment that reaches the ductwork and headliner a surface clean cannot.
Is it safe on Alcantara and perforated leather?+
Yes. Alcantara is brushed back to a uniform nap with its own chemistry rather than wiped flat, and perforated leather is cleaned with controlled moisture so nothing is driven through the holes into the seat foam.
How long before I can use the car?+
Cloth carpets and upholstery are usually dry within a few hours with the doors open and airflow through the cabin. We will tell you honestly on the day — if it is a cold, damp morning we will say so rather than pretend otherwise.
Can you do this at my home or office?+
Yes. Our units are fully self-contained with their own water and power, including the extractor, so nothing runs off your property. Confirm the address when you schedule, since access and space rules vary.
Can you protect the interior after cleaning it?+
Yes. ST6 is a Gtechniq Accredited Detailer, so we can install Gtechniq’s interior line on the same visit — I1 Smart Fabric for cloth, carpet and Alcantara, L1 Leather Guard for leather and vinyl, and C6 Matte Dash for the dashboard and trim. Each is matched to the material; C6 is not used on suede or Alcantara, which is what I1 is for. Protection is quoted per vehicle after we see the materials and their condition, and it goes on after the deep clean, never over dirt.
