Car Detailing Checklist — Every Step We Take

Every OtoPro detail follows a defined process. No panel gets skipped, no surface gets a quick wipe and ignored. Below is the complete checklist for both our exterior and interior services — so you know exactly what you are getting before we arrive.

Our checklists are the foundation of our quality guarantee. If something on this list is not completed to standard, we come back and fix it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you follow this checklist on every single visit?
Yes. The checklist is the minimum standard for every service. Detailers are evaluated against it and customer feedback is reviewed after each job.
What if a step cannot be completed due to the vehicle condition?
If a surface is too damaged or a step is not possible (for example, leather conditioning on a car with no leather), we skip that step and note it in your service summary.
Are these steps different for trucks or SUVs?
The steps are the same — just applied to a larger surface area. Vehicle size affects duration and pricing, not the scope of work.
