Full detailing, by appointment.

A complete interior-and-exterior detail at Hector's takes between 4 and 6 hours depending on vehicle size and condition. SUVs and trucks usually take longer than sedans. We book one car per slot, so your appointment time is your time — no double-booking. You can drop off in the morning and pick up the same afternoon.

A hand wash cleans your car. A detail restores it. Washes focus on surface dirt — soap, rinse, dry, vacuum. Detailing goes deeper: clay-bar treatment that pulls embedded contaminants out of the clear coat, hot-water shampoo and extraction on carpets and upholstery, leather conditioning, plastic restoration, paint polishing to remove light swirl marks. A detail at Hector's is what your car gets two or three times a year. A wash is what it gets every week or two.

Our full detailing service starts at $300 for a standard sedan and ranges to $500+ for larger SUVs, trucks, and vehicles in heavier condition. The price depends on size and the work needed. Every detail includes interior shampoo, exterior polish, clay-bar treatment, wheel and tire dressing, and a thorough vacuum and wipe-down. We give you an exact quote before any work starts.

Yes. Detailing is by appointment only — book through Calendly. We don't do detail work as a walk-in because each one takes hours and we want to give your car our full attention. Washes are walk-in. Details are scheduled.

Pet hair: yes. We use specialized rubber tools and pneumatic vacuums that pull embedded pet hair out of fabric and carpets. Sand: yes, with high-suction extraction and brushes that get into seat seams and floor edges. Salt damage to paint and chrome: yes, with clay-bar and polish on paint, and chrome polish on trim — though salt corrosion that's already pitted metal can't be fully reversed. The earlier you bring the car in after salt exposure, the better.

For most Palm Beach drivers, two to three times a year. Once before snowbird season (October), once mid-winter when salt air has had a few months to work on the paint, and once after hurricane season to remove debris and any storm-related grime. Daily drivers may need more. Garage-kept weekend cars can usually go six months or longer between details.

Yes. Bentleys, Aston Martins, Mercedes, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, and Tesla all regularly come through Hector's. Our staff is trained on luxury finishes — including ceramic-coated paint, soft-touch interiors, and Tesla glass. If your car has a coating you want preserved, tell us at booking and we'll use coating-safe chemistry only.

Heavy interior conditions — pet odors, smoke, food stains, mold — need an enzyme treatment and ozone session that take additional time. We handle these on case-by-case basis; please mention any specific issues when you book. We'll quote separately for severe restoration work.
