Bigger vehicle, bigger price. That's the only variable.
We size the job by the vehicle, not by how dirty it looks. Heavy sand, mold or pet hair gets a heads-up and a number before anyone touches the car.
Golf carts, boats on trailers and campers are welcome. Text a photo and we'll price it.

The beach is great for you. It's rough on your car.
A week at the Outer Banks puts more wear on paint and carpet than a season somewhere inland. Here's what we're actually cleaning off.
Salt mist, every single day
You don't need to drive on the beach to get salt on the car. The wind carries it across the whole island and it dries into a film that dulls paint and chalks black trim.
Sand in the places a vacuum skips
It settles under the seat rails, inside the seams of the seats and down in the carpet backing. We extract it instead of pushing it around, which is why the interior stays clean longer.
Sun with nothing to block it
Flat land, no shade, long summer days. Dashboards crack, clear coat oxidizes and headlights go yellow. A sealant or ceramic layer is the cheapest way to keep a car looking its age instead of twice its age.
Sunscreen, wet dogs and sandy kids
Vacation cars take a beating from the inside. Sunscreen stains leather, wet towels start mildew and dog hair weaves into carpet. We've seen all of it and we have a product for each one.
Here's the whole process.
You text, we reply with a time
Year, make, model, which package and where the car is parked. That's all we need. We answer with a day, a window and a price.
The van shows up, you don't have to
Water tank, generator, extractor and all the chemicals ride with us. Leave the car unlocked or hand us the key and go to the beach.
Walk around, then pay
You get a text with photos when it's done. Look it over in person if you like. Anything we missed gets fixed before you pay. Card, cash or Venmo.
Corolla down to Hatteras Village, plus Roanoke Island.
We're based in Kill Devil Hills. Anywhere between Corolla and Nags Head is included in the price. Hatteras Island and the Carova 4x4 beaches carry a small travel charge that we tell you before booking.
