Complete Restoration Inside and Out

The Premium Package in Tampa combines all detailing services in one appointment, completed in our shop for vehicles needing full restoration.

When your vehicle has not been detailed in months or years and shows visible neglect in Tampa, the Premium Package is completed in the shop to allow for controlled conditions and access to professional polishing equipment. This package includes everything in the Basic and Deluxe Packages, plus a one-step machine polish to remove light scratches and swirl marks, a full engine bay detail, a windshield ceramic coating, headliner cleaning, and a six-month sealant for the exterior paint.

Carry On Detailing uses a machine polisher to remove paint imperfections that hand washing cannot address, and applies a six-month sealant that repels water, dirt, bird droppings, and road grime. The windshield is coated with a ceramic treatment that causes rain, bugs, and dirt to bead off, and the engine bay is cleaned to remove grease, dust, and buildup. The headliner is gently cleaned to remove stains without damaging the fabric. Pricing starts at four hundred eighty dollars for small vehicles, five hundred ten for medium, and five hundred forty for large.

Schedule a ceramic coating consultation and protect your vehicle's finish long-term with the most thorough package available.

Why Machine Polishing and Full Cleaning Matter

The Premium Package in Tampa begins with the same decontamination steps as the Deluxe Package, followed by a one-step machine polish that removes light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation from the clear coat. The polisher levels the surface of the paint to restore clarity and gloss, making the vehicle look newer and better maintained than it has in months or years.

After polishing, a six-month sealant is applied to protect the paint and create a hydrophobic surface that causes water to bead and roll off. The windshield is treated with a ceramic coating that repels rain, dirt, bird droppings, and bugs, which improves visibility and reduces the need to use windshield wipers during light rain. Inside, the headliner is gently cleaned to remove stains from moisture, smoke, or spills without soaking or damaging the fabric.

The engine bay is fully detailed to remove grease, dust, and buildup from hoses, covers, and metal surfaces, which makes it easier to spot leaks or worn components during routine maintenance. The Premium Package is only completed in the shop because machine polishing requires controlled lighting, a dust-free environment, and access to power tools that cannot be safely used outdoors in Tampa's heat and humidity.

You will want to know what to expect

The Premium Package is the most involved service available, so most people have specific questions about timing, preparation, and what the service actually includes before booking.

How long does the Premium Package take to complete?
The Premium Package takes four to six hours depending on the size of the vehicle and the condition of the paint and interior. You will need to drop off your vehicle at the shop and pick it up later the same day or the next morning.
What does the one-step machine polish correct?
The one-step polish removes light scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation that dull the clear coat. It does not remove deep scratches, rock chips, or dents, which require more extensive paint correction.
What is the benefit of the windshield ceramic coating?
The windshield ceramic coating causes rain, bugs, and dirt to bead off and roll away, which improves visibility during light rain and reduces the need to scrub the windshield during washes. It lasts longer than traditional rain repellent treatments.
Why is the Premium Package only available in the shop?
Machine polishing requires controlled lighting, temperature, and access to professional polishing equipment that cannot be safely or effectively used outdoors. The shop environment ensures the polish is applied evenly and cures properly.
What should I do to prepare my vehicle for the Premium Package?
Remove all personal items, trash, and loose belongings from the interior and trunk. If your vehicle has aftermarket or custom parts, let the detailer know in advance so they can plan around them.
