Interior presentation
Vacuuming, mats, glass, dust, trim and the overall cabin come first. Pet hair, stains, salt, spills or odour can move part of the job into a deeper quote-reviewed scope.
High-intent use-case service
Pre-Sale & Lease-Return Car Detailing
When a vehicle is being sold, traded or returned, the useful goal is not simply “make it clean.” It is to present the whole vehicle consistently: cabin, carpets, mats, glass, trim, wheels, paint and the visible details a buyer or return inspector is likely to notice. Rosie starts from the existing Complete Detail path and only adds condition-dependent work after review.

What we review before calling the vehicle sale-ready
Exterior presentation
Road film, wheels, glass, trim and visible paint condition are reviewed together. Clay, polishing or protection should be selected only when the paint condition and goal justify them.
Visible problem areas
Cloudy headlights, neglected trim, bug/tar contamination, engine-bay presentation or isolated defects may be useful add-ons, but they are not silently bundled into one flat price.
Useful add-ons when the condition supports them
- Headlight restoration for hazy or yellowed exterior lenses.
- Pet hair removal, odour review or carpet/shampoo recovery for interior presentation problems.
- Clay treatment, paint correction or protection only after the exterior condition is reviewed.
- Engine cleaning only when requested and safe for the specific vehicle.
What this service does not promise
- Detailing does not erase dents, chips, cracked trim, mechanical defects or structural damage.
- It does not guarantee a sale price, trade value or freedom from lease-return charges.
- Rosie does not decide the lessor's wear-and-tear standard; check your lease-return instructions separately.
- Extra restoration work is not performed automatically. Rosie confirms expanded scope before proceeding.
When photos are worth sending first
Send a photo estimate when there is heavy pet hair, stubborn staining, wet/spill history, odour, severe salt, cloudy headlights, paint defects, oxidation or any condition where labour cannot be judged fairly from a simple package name. Photos help Rosie recommend the right existing package/add-on path without inventing a second price list.
Mobile service setup
Rosie brings standard detailing water and power. Please provide a safe, private and permitted work area with enough room to work around the vehicle. Unusual parking, condo/apartment access, site rules, weather or local runoff restrictions should be raised before dispatch.
Frequently asked questions
How far ahead of a sale or lease return should I book?
Allow enough time for the main detail plus any condition-dependent follow-up you may approve after inspection. If the deadline is tight, add it to the booking notes.
Can you focus only on the parts buyers will see?
Yes, but a consistent presentation usually works better than polishing one area while leaving obvious interior or exterior issues elsewhere. Quick Book starts with the whole-vehicle path and lets us narrow or expand it responsibly.
Can I combine this with headlight or paint work?
Yes when the condition supports it. Those services keep their own scope and quote rules rather than disappearing into a vague package promise.
