Selling your vehicle? A clean, well-maintained car can significantly boost its value and help you sell it faster. While you can wash your car yourself, professional detailing takes it to the next level, restoring your vehicle to showroom condition.
Espresso Car Wash, New Zealand’s leading hand car wash and detailing provider since 2005, offers expert services that enhance both the interior and exterior of your car.
In this guide, we’ll show you how pre-sale car detailing can help you achieve the best price and sell your car quickly.
What is pre-sale car detailing?
Pre-sale car detailing is a comprehensive cleaning and reconditioning service designed to thoroughly clean and recondition your vehicle before you put it up for sale. A pre-sale car detail typically will involve :
- Exterior wash – A high-pressure rinse is used to rinse and remove any built-up grime and debris. We then use PH neutral shampoos, mitts and sponges to thoroughly wash your vehicle, before rinsing clean and chamois and cotton towel drying it for a streak-free finish.
- Interior clean – A thorough cleaning of your vehicle’s interior includes vacuuming the entire vehicle as well as cleaning interior glass, dashboard, console, air vents, interior door panels, plastics and pockets.
- Wheel treatment—An acid wheel treatment removes grime and brake dust, leaving your rims sparkling, while the application of silicone and tyre shine provides a long-lasting shine to match your vehicle.
- Additional services—We can also offer professional polishing services to ensure your vehicle leaves us with a desirable high-shine finish. We also provide a range of specific services to tackle common problem areas, such as headlight restoration, air-con treatment, odour elimination, and engine bay cleaning. Find out more about the additional services we offer.
Our thorough cleaning process addresses both the interior and exterior of your car and pays close attention to the areas that often get missed by non-professional car detailers. This ensures you get a high-quality finish that restores your vehicle so it is in the best possible condition and ready for sale.
Benefits of pre-sale car detailing
The benefits of pre-sale car detailing include :
- Enhances aesthetic appeal – a pristine vehicle with a high-quality shine and immaculate interior has more appeal so it can attract more buyers
- Increases resale value – investing in professional car detailing services can help enhance the resale value you achieve, so can be a worthwhile investment
- Quicker sale – a car that is immaculate is more likely to sell quicker than a similar model that looks a bit worn and uncared for

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
How long does the detailing process take? – The exact time it takes to detail your vehicle will depend on the package you choose and the size and condition of your vehicle. Our expert detailers can provide a more accurate estimate on how long your car will take to detail when you drop it off with us, to help you plan your day.
Many of our locations are conveniently situated near shopping centres, cafes and restaurants enabling you to enjoy some downtime while you wait for your vehicle to be groomed.
Can detailing increase my car’s resale value? – Yes, car detailing can help boost your resale value and make it more saleable. That’s because a car that looks well-looked after is likely to stand out more in a crowded market and attract more potential buyers. This gives you more power to hold to your desired asking price rather than feeling like you must fold to the first offer you get.
