SUV Detailing Service in St. Louis
Bigger rides need bigger care.
So one time, this guy pulls up in a black Yukon XL. Mud caked so thick on the side panels you coulda planted corn in it. Dog hair stuck like Velcro in every crevice. Sticky juice spills on the back carpet from the kids, and that smell? Man… like something got lost under the seat back in 2022 and never made it out. He steps out and goes, “Think there’s still a truck under all that?”
That’s what SUV detailing is all about. Bigger vehicles, bigger messes—and way more pride when we bring it back to life.
At Arch City Detail, right here in High Ridge, just outside of St. Louis, we treat SUVs like the rolling homes they are. Whether it’s your daily family hauler, your muddy trail machine, or your workhorse full of tools and gear, our SUV Detailing Service gets it back to clean, inside and out.
What is SUV Detailing, Really?
SUVs are different from cars. They got more seats, more cargo space, more stuff to clean. You’ve probably got kid footprints on the back of the front seats, maybe a dog that sheds like crazy, and probably that one vent that’s been blowing out mystery crumbs since last winter.
Our SUV Detailing Service isn’t just a “bigger car wash.” It’s a full-on deep clean for bigger rides. We go after every nook, every stain, every bit of built-up grime. And we do it by hand, the old-school way, so nothing gets missed.
What's Included in Our SUV Detailing Service?
Let’s break it down:
✅ Exterior Detailing (Big SUV Edition)
Hand wash with high-suds shampoo to loosen all the stuck-on dirt
Foam cannon soak (great for SUVs with thick grime)
Clay bar treatment to get rid of all that bonded stuff paint picks up
Machine polish to smooth out swirls and minor scratches
Bug and tar removal (especially if you’ve been out past Fenton or through backroads near Pacific)
Wheel and tire clean + shine—because SUV wheels get filthy
Trim restore for faded plastics (those big bumpers and fender flares need it)
Optional upgrade: Ceramic Coating. If you’re tired of washing your SUV every week, this is the move. Makes it easier to clean, shinier, and protected from St. Louis road salt and sun.
Interior SUV Detailing
Vacuum everything—under seats, in between, even under the third row
Steam clean carpets and mats (yes, even those gross ones behind the driver’s seat)
Shampoo seats or extract spills—cloth or leather, we got you
Pet hair removal (this one’s big—we have tools made just for this)
Clean vents, buttons, trim, and cupholders
Interior glass cleaned so it’s streak-free
Odor treatment (no more “gym bag meets drive-thru” smell)
Optional add-on: Leather Cleaning and Conditioning—especially good for Denali’s and Explorers with worn spots or faded seats.
Why Bigger Vehicles Need Special Attention
SUVs got more square footage than most apartments in The Grove. More glass, more carpet, more stuff that collects dirt. Plus, folks in St. Louis use their SUVs hard. We’re talkin’ weekend trips to the Meramec, tailgates in Soulard, hauling kids from Ballwin to Kirkwood and back.
All that adds up fast. If you let it sit, grime starts to damage surfaces. Salt from winter roads chews up your paint. Dog drool etches into the plastic. Even sunscreen from arms on the door can mess with interior trim over time.
Detailing isn’t just about looks. It’s about saving your ride from long-term damage.
The Benefits of SUV Detailing
Save time: Stop trying to clean all that yourself. It’s a full-day job and you’ll still miss spots.
Boost resale value: Clean SUVs sell for way more. We’ve seen trade-in offers jump after a good detail.
Protect your paint: Washing isn’t enough. You need protection from sun, salt, and grime.
Feel better driving: It’s like putting on clean clothes. Driving a clean SUV just feels better.
Help your health: Interior detailing kills bacteria and removes allergens like dust, pollen, and pet hair.
Cut stress: No more worrying about that sticky spot in the third row or the smell of old fries.
How Often Should You Detail an SUV?
If you're using it daily, especially for work or kids, every 3-4 months is solid. Got dogs? Bump that up. Drive it less or mostly garage-kept? Twice a year is fine.
And if you just bought a brand-new SUV, now’s the perfect time for ceramic coating and a full interior protectant. Keeps it newer longer and saves you money down the road.
SUVs take a beating in Midwest weather. Ceramic coating adds a real shield. Rain slides right off, bird poop and bugs don’t bake into the paint, and cleanup becomes way easier. Plus, it makes the paint pop—especially on darker colors.
We use professional-grade coatings right here at our shop in High Ridge, and folks from all over St. Louis—Webster, Sunset Hills, even Chesterfield—come down for it.
