Interior detailing
Interior Car Detailing
Interior detailing removes sand that surface vacuuming leaves behind: pile agitation and seat-rail extraction reach what a normal clean cannot. The service runs 60 to 90 minutes and starts at 200 MAD for a compact car, 260 MAD for a saloon or SUV.

What does an interior detail include?
Interior detailing works twelve points a normal vacuum pass over the carpet leaves untouched, from the seat-rail channel to the seatbelt reel slot. Agitation loosens what extraction then removes, which is why the cabin stops feeling gritty after the appointment ends.
- Loose items and floor mats removed
- Every loose item comes out of the cabin and both floor mats lift clear before vacuuming starts.Sand trapped under a mat keeps grinding into the carpet backing every time a foot presses down on it.
- First vacuum pass over seats and carpet
- A wide nozzle clears the visible surface layer of sand and dust across every seat and the full carpet.This pass removes the loose top layer only, not the sand worked down into the pile.
- Carpet pile agitated with a stiff brush
- A stiff-bristle brush works the carpet pile against the grain, in the footwells and under the front seats.Sand lodges against the carpet backing, and agitation is the step that lifts it back to the surface.
- Seats moved fully back and forward on their rails
- Each seat slides to both ends of its rail so the technician reaches the full length of the channel beneath it.The seat-rail channel is the recessed track a seat slides on, and sand collects along its full length out of sight.
- Sand extracted from the seat-rail channel
- A crevice nozzle follows the rail channel end to end once the seat has moved clear of it.Sand left in the rail channel works into the sliding mechanism and grinds the metal track under body weight.
- Seatbelt reel slot cleared
- The seatbelt is drawn fully out and the reel slot at the pillar base is vacuumed and brushed.The seatbelt reel slot is the narrow housing the belt retracts into, and sand entering it never clears on its own.
- Door-card pockets emptied and brushed
- Every door-card pocket is emptied, brushed out and vacuumed at the seam where it meets the door panel.Sand and grit collect in the pocket seam and stay there until the pocket is opened and brushed directly.
- Boot well vacuumed and wiped
- The boot well is cleared, vacuumed under the spare-wheel cover and wiped down.Surfboards, wetsuits and beach gear carried loose in the boot leave sand in the well that a quick sweep misses.
- Dashboard vents and switch surrounds brushed out
- A soft-bristle brush clears each vent louvre and every switch surround before the surface is wiped.Wind-driven sand enters through vents and door seals on a chergui day and settles behind the switch surrounds.
- Plastic surfaces wiped and treated
- The dashboard, door cards and centre console are wiped clean and treated with a matte-finish product.A glossy finish reflects in the windscreen and shows dust faster than a matte one does.
- Glass cleaned last, both faces
- Interior and exterior glass are cleaned in that order, after every other surface, with a separate microfibre for each face.Cleaning glass earlier only reintroduces dust raised by the vacuuming and brushing that follow it.
- Cabin filter checked
- The cabin air filter is inspected and its condition reported at the end of the appointment.A filter clogged with fine desert or beach dust reduces airflow and lets odour back into the cabin.
What is not included in an interior detail?
Five services sit outside interior detailing: odour removal, pet hair removal, leather conditioning, mould remediation and steam sanitising. Each needs equipment or a process this sand-focused, brush-and-vacuum service does not carry, so each keeps its own page and its own price.
- Persistent tobacco, pet or damp odour trapped inside seat foam, which needs an ozone generator to reach the source rather than a surface clean.Car Odor Removal Service
- Pet hair embedded deep in carpet fibre, which needs mechanical extraction tools beyond a standard brush and vacuum.Pet Hair Removal from Car Interiors
- Cleaning and conditioning of leather seats, which needs a pH-specific product and a cold process rather than the agitation used on fabric.Leather Seat Cleaning & Conditioning
- A visible mould colony in carpet backing or door cavities, which needs a dedicated remediation step beyond agitation and extraction.Mold Removal from Car Interiors
- Heat-based sanitising of vents, seams and switchgear, which uses steam rather than the brush-and-vacuum method this service is built around.Steam Car Cleaning
How do we work, step by step?
Interior detailing runs eight fixed steps in a set order: clearing, vacuuming, agitating, extracting, brushing, wiping, cleaning glass and inspecting. Agitation always precedes extraction, because sand worked loose from the carpet pile has to be lifted out before the cabin is treated further.
- 5 min
Clear loose items and floor mats from the cabin
Every loose item and both floor mats come out before any vacuum or brush touches the interior.
- 10 min
Vacuum seats and carpet in a first pass
A wide nozzle removes the loose surface layer of sand and dust across seats and carpet.
- 15 min
Agitate the carpet pile and seat bolsters
A stiff-bristle brush works the carpet pile and seat bolsters against the grain, loosening sand held below the surface.
- 20 min
Extract the loosened sand from rails, reel slot and boot well
A crevice nozzle pulls the loosened sand out of the seat-rail channel, the seatbelt reel slot and the boot well.
- 10 min
Brush vents, switch surrounds and door-card pockets
A soft-bristle brush clears each vent louvre, switch surround and door-card pocket seam before wiping begins.
- 8 min
Wipe the dashboard and plastic surfaces
The dashboard, door cards and centre console are wiped and treated with a matte-finish product.
- 8 min
Clean interior and exterior glass, last
Glass comes last in the sequence, cleaned on both faces with a dedicated microfibre for each.
- 5 min
Inspect the cabin and the cabin filter
The technician checks the cabin under working light and reports the condition of the cabin filter, with a free redo within 24 hours if a zone needs another pass.
What products and equipment do we use?
Five items complete interior detailing: a stiff-bristle brush, a crevice-tool vacuum, a soft-bristle detailing brush, a pH-neutral upholstery cleaner and two separate microfibres for glass. No single tool replaces agitation, since sand held below the carpet surface responds only to mechanical brushing.
- Stiff-bristle detailing brush
- A brush with firm, short bristles worked against the carpet pile and the seat bolsters.Firm bristles reach sand packed against the carpet backing that a vacuum nozzle alone passes over.
- Crevice-tool vacuum nozzle
- A narrow nozzle fitted to the vacuum for the seat-rail channel, the seatbelt reel slot and the boot well.A narrow tip reaches gaps a wide nozzle cannot enter, where loosened sand collects after agitation.
- Soft-bristle detailing brush
- A brush with soft bristles used on vents, switch surrounds and door-card pockets.Soft bristles clear fine dust from these gaps without scratching plastic trim.
- pH-neutral upholstery cleaner
- A cleaning solution close to neutral pH, applied to seat fabric carrying salt residue from damp swimwear.A neutral pH lifts salt and body oils without bleaching or stiffening the fabric fibre.
- Two separate microfibres for glass
- One microfibre for the interior face of the glass, one for the exterior, used in that order.A single microfibre used on both faces spreads the interior film onto the exterior pass.
Which interiors do we work on most?
Four situations bring a car in for interior detailing sooner than a routine clean. Surf and beach trips, dogs after a beach walk, family cars with children, and desert or piste travel each add sand through a different route into the cabin.
- Surfer's car after a session at Taghazout or the Agadir beachesBoards and wetsuits carried loose in the boot leave sand in the boot well and salt on the seat fabric after every session.
- Dog owner's car after a beach walkA wet dog shaking off sand and salt water on the back seat drives sand deep into the seat bolsters and the boot carpet.
- Family car with a daily school runSand walked in from a playground or a weekend beach trip collects under the rear seats and along the seatbelt reel slots.
- Desert or piste traveller returning from an off-road tripFine desert dust enters through the vents and settles behind switch surrounds during hours spent on unpaved tracks.
- Car parked outdoors through a chergui wind eventWind-driven sand enters through vents and door seals on each of the roughly 25 chergui days a year, settling into the cabin without the car ever leaving its parking space.
What result can you expect?
Expect a carpet that feels clean underfoot rather than gritty, with the seat-rail channel, the seatbelt reel slot and the boot well cleared of sand rather than the visible surface. Interior detailing does not treat leather, remove odour at its source or clean exterior paint.
The clearest result shows underfoot: a carpet agitated and extracted no longer sheds sand onto a dark floor mat within days of the appointment. The seat-rail channel and the seatbelt reel slot come back visibly clear, checked with the seat pushed fully back and the belt drawn out to its full length.
Salt residue from damp swimwear and wet towels lifts from seat fabric during the same visit, since the pH-neutral upholstery cleaner used on the fabric targets that residue directly. A boot well carrying sand from surfboards or beach gear comes back vacuumed and wiped. A full deep clean of the spare-wheel recess sits outside the standard pass and is available as an add-on.
Interior detailing does not condition leather, remove odour trapped in seat foam, or treat mould in carpet backing. Each of those problems needs its own product and its own process, and each sits on its own page rather than folded into this one.
What do we need at your address?
Four conditions cover an interior detailing visit at your home, residence parking or hotel. A 220-volt socket within 20 metres, a 5 m by 3 m space, personal items cleared from the cabin, and access wide enough for our van complete the list.
- 220 V socket within 20 m
- The vacuum and any powered brush draw mains power from the same socket every other appointment at your address uses.
- 5 m by 3 m space beside the vehicle
- The technician needs room to open every door fully and to lay tools and removed floor mats down beside the car.
- Personal items removed from the cabin before the appointment
- Documents, electronics and valuables come out of the vehicle before vacuuming and brushing start, clear of any nozzle or brush pass.
- Access wide enough for our 2.25 m van
- An underground residence or hotel car park needs at least 2.3 metres of clearance before the van can park beside the vehicle.
How much does interior detailing cost in Agadir?
Interior detailing costs 200 MAD for a compact car, 260 MAD for a saloon or SUV, in a visit of 60 to 90 minutes. Four factors move that price: vehicle size, soiling level, a boot deep clean and a combined exterior wash.
From 200 to 260 MAD depending on vehicle size, with no travel supplement across the 24 districts we cover in Greater Agadir.
- Vehicle size
- A saloon or SUV costs 260 MAD against 200 MAD for a compact car, since the larger cabin carries more carpet, seat and boot area to agitate and extract.
- Sand or soiling level
- A cabin carrying heavy sand, pet hair or spilled food adds 80 MAD for the extra agitation and extraction time it needs.
- Boot deep clean
- Removing the spare-wheel cover and cleaning the full boot recess is a 200 MAD option beyond the standard boot-well vacuum.
- Combined exterior wash
- Booking interior detailing with an exterior wash on the same visit moves the total to the complete-wash price, 300 MAD to 380 MAD, instead of two separate call-outs.
What is the difference between a valet and an interior detail?
A valet vacuums the visible surface of the carpet and wipes the plastics in 60 minutes or less. Interior detailing works the seat rails, the seatbelt reel slot and the carpet backing over 60 to 90 minutes, removing sand a valet leaves behind.
| Criterion | Valet | Interior Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Carpet method | Surface vacuum only | Agitated with a brush, then extracted |
| Seat rails | Not moved | Seats moved fully back and forward, rail channel cleared |
| Vents and switch surrounds | Not brushed | Brushed out before wiping |
| Duration | 60 minutes or less | 60 to 90 minutes |
| Price, compact car | Not listed separately | 200 MAD |

How does coastal sand and salt air shape car care in Agadir?
Sand is an interior problem in Agadir; salt air is the matching exterior one, both settling on a parked car overnight from the same Atlantic coastline. Ceramic coating answers the exterior half of that climate pressure, protecting paint the way agitation and extraction protect carpet.
Salt reaches roughly 1 kilometre inland from the Agadir shoreline and settles on parked cars overnight. Sand migrates into carpet, rails and door pockets the same way, during a beach day or a chergui wind event. Both problems share a mechanism. Fine particles work into a surface faster than they wipe off it, and both need a process built for that migration rather than a wipe over the top.
A car with its interior agitated and extracted on schedule, and its paint coated against salt air, holds its condition through an Agadir season with fewer full details in between. Ceramic coating extends that protection to the exterior for years rather than weeks, on the same coastline that drives the interior side of this page.
Interior detailing questions
Why does my car still feel gritty after a normal clean?
A normal vacuum pass removes the visible surface layer of sand and leaves the rest packed against the carpet backing and inside the seat-rail channel. Agitation with a brush before extraction is the step a quick clean skips.
Does interior detailing remove sand from under the seats?
Yes. Seats move fully back and forward on their rails during the appointment, and a crevice nozzle extracts the sand collected along the exposed rail channel.
How long does interior detailing take?
Interior detailing runs 60 to 90 minutes, across eight fixed steps from clearing the cabin to a final inspection.
What is the difference between interior detailing and a valet?
A valet vacuums the visible surface and wipes the plastics. Interior detailing agitates the carpet pile before extraction and clears the seat rails, the seatbelt reel slot and the boot well, points a valet does not reach.
Does interior detailing remove pet hair or bad odours?
No. Pet hair embedded in carpet fibre needs a separate mechanical extraction service, and a persistent odour needs an ozone treatment. Both sit on their own page rather than inside this one.
Can interior detailing be done at a hotel or a rental property?
Yes. The service runs at your home, your residence parking or a hotel forecourt, provided a 220 V socket sits within 20 metres.
How far ahead do I need to book?
24 hours ahead as standard, and a request placed before 11:00 can be served the same day.
