Detailing Before You Sell: Small Jobs That Raise Your Price

A clean, fresh-smelling car tells a buyer it has been looked after. A tired one invites lower offers before anyone even opens the hood.

Jobs with the best return

  • Headlight restoration: clear lenses make a car look years younger.
  • One-step polish: removes the dullness that photographs badly.
  • Interior shampoo and odor treatment: buyers notice smell first.
  • Engine bay clean: suggests careful ownership.

Take better photos

Shoot after the detail, on an overcast day, with the car parked away from clutter. Clean glass and dressed tires make a big difference online.

Our Full Detail package includes everything on this list except headlight restoration, which is a $45 add-on.
