How Long Does a Car Detail Take?, What to Expect from Premier Detailing LLC

Interior Reset: 2.5 to 3.5 Hours

A sedan in average condition takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours. An SUV or vehicle with significant pet hair, heavy soiling, or a complex interior (multiple rows, third row) takes 3 to 4.5 hours.
