When your vehicle needs a little extra TLC, car detailing is one of the best ways to restore its shine, cleanliness, and value. But you may wonder, “How long does car detailing take?” The answer depends on the type of detailing service you choose. Whether you’re looking for a quick clean-up or a complete interior and exterior transformation, Millennium has a detailing package to fit your schedule and your car’s needs.
Car Detailing in Grand Rapids
Unlike a standard car wash, detailing includes deep cleaning, polishing, and protecting various parts of your vehicle, both inside and out. This could include vacuuming, shampooing upholstery, conditioning leather, polishing paint, cleaning windows, and much more. At Millennium Auto Wash and Detail Center, our expert team uses professional tools and products to deliver outstanding results for every vehicle.
