Auto Detailing in Destin, FL
Professional interior and exterior detailing, paint correction, and more.
Every Vehicle Deserves a Fresh Start
There’s a difference between a car wash and a detail, and if you’ve never experienced a professional detail, the difference is significant. Auto detailing is a thorough, methodical process that goes well beyond surface cleaning. It addresses the buildup, staining, oxidation, and wear that accumulates over months and years of regular use, and it restores your vehicle’s appearance to a standard that a drive-through wash simply can’t touch.
At Island Time Mobile Detailing, we offer interior, exterior, and combination detailing packages for vehicles of all types, along with paint correction services for owners who want to take things a step further. Every service is performed with professional-grade products. Whether your vehicle needs a deep interior clean, a thorough exterior treatment, or both, we’ll get it to where it should be.
We offer all detailing services at our Destin shop, and select services as a mobile option throughout the Emerald Coast.

A Closer Look at What’s Included
Interior Detail
Our interior detail is a thorough top-to-bottom clean that addresses every surface inside your vehicle. We vacuum and shampoo carpets and seats, deep clean vents and crevices, treat the headliner for spots, condition leather and vinyl surfaces, scrub cloth seats by hand, and clean interior glass and the sunroof. High-intensity stain treatment is included for stubborn areas, and door panels are deep cleaned and treated as part of every service.
Exterior Detail
Our exterior detail starts with a proper hand wash using professional products, followed by tire degreasing, tar and bug removal, and a thorough microfiber dry. We clean exterior glass, perform a light headlight cleaning, and do a deep clean of the rims and grille. Every exterior detail finishes with a coat of wax and tire shine for a clean, polished result.
Combination Package
For owners who want a complete reset inside and out, our combination packages bundle the full interior and exterior detail at a combined rate. It’s the most thorough single-service option we offer and the most popular choice for seasonal cleans, pre-sale preparation, or vehicles that have gone a while between professional services.
Paint Correction
Paint correction is the process of removing surface-level defects from your vehicle’s clear coat using professional polishing equipment and compounds. Swirl marks from automatic car washes, water spots from mineral-heavy water, and light scratches from everyday use can all be significantly reduced or eliminated. If you’re considering ceramic coating, paint correction beforehand ensures the coating bonds to a clean, defect-free surface.

Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Detailing
Q: What is the difference between a car wash and auto detailing?
A car wash is a surface-level clean, typically focused on removing visible dirt from the exterior. Auto detailing is a comprehensive, multi-step process that deep cleans both the interior and exterior, addresses staining and buildup on all surfaces, and restores your vehicle’s appearance to a significantly higher standard.
Q: How long does a professional detail take?
It depends on the service and the condition of your vehicle. An exterior detail typically takes 1 to 2 hours. A full interior detail can take 2 to 4 hours or more depending on the vehicle size and how much attention certain areas require. Combination packages and paint correction services take longer. We’ll give you a time estimate when you book.
Q: How often should I get my car detailed?
For most vehicle owners, a full detail every 3 to 6 months is a reasonable cadence. Vehicles that see heavier use, haul kids or pets, or are regularly exposed to Florida’s coastal conditions may benefit from more frequent interior services. We’re happy to recommend a schedule based on your specific situation.
Q: Do you offer mobile detailing in Destin?
Yes. We offer mobile detailing services throughout the Emerald Coast, including Destin, Fort Walton Beach, Miramar Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, and 30A. Contact us to confirm availability for your area and to schedule a mobile appointment.
Q: What is paint correction and does my vehicle need it?
Paint correction is the process of removing surface imperfections from your vehicle’s clear coat, including swirl marks, light scratches, and water spots. If your paint looks dull, hazy, or shows swirling when the light hits it at certain angles, paint correction can make a significant difference. It’s also strongly recommended before any ceramic coating application.
Q: Can you detail vehicles with heavy pet hair or odors?
Yes. We offer pet hair removal as an add-on service starting at $50, and ozone treatment for odor removal at $100. For particularly difficult interiors, pricing may be adjusted based on condition. Contact us in advance if you have questions about a specific situation.
Q: Do you offer detailing for luxury or high-end vehicles?
Absolutely. A significant portion of our clientele are owners of luxury and performance vehicles, including BMWs, Porsches, Teslas, and similar. Every vehicle receives the same thorough, careful service regardless of make or model.
