    Incredible work. The inside of my car looks brand new and does not have a chemical smell. The outside is shiny and they were able to buff out some small stuff. They were absolutely perfect with their timing and very fair pricing. Highly recommend.

    Extreme Detail: The Best AND Worse (Oct 3) Detail Experience (Updated Oct 13) 2 stars - Excellent cloth seat cleaning. +1 star - Decent conversation w/owner to resolve remaining issues -1 star - Radio is now malfunctioning -1 star - 2 Window controls broken I need to post more (DIY kinda guy/10yr Army vet), but I will after my "Extreme" experience. For bad AND good service (I don't like only whiners either lol) but hopefully, this ends well. Stay tuned. First, I'll say they did a !GREAT! job cleaning my interior. The seats were bad, and I'm still pleased. But that's all I initially wanted for $140. After the upsell attempts on the phone and onsite, I went with the Deluxe Detail ($200 for Hyundai Elantra/4Dr) plus $125 for the extra dirty interior. Second, I bought this car off the lot in 2011, it's always been mine, and I know eh-very-thing about it, and the ONLY problem with my car was a "loose" button for the passenger window (that I made sure I informed them of, and THEY SAID WOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM). Third, I took before pics to promote whatever business did the detail (which I'll still show), but it looks like it's also proof of damages now... ****SPOILER start**** After the "detail" and letting the seats dry for two days, MY RADIO DOES NOT WORK! Whatever setting is used (radio, CD, PHONECALLS!! or SiriusXM) the system changes to AUX by itself every 15sec-15min, then it has to be manually changed. Then it does it again...over, and over, and over. It got to be so annoying, I just turned it off. THEN it turns itself on and changes between options again!! UNACCEPTABLE. *But wait! There's more!* That slightly loose front passenger window button was apparently broken off/jammed back into place and now doesn't work. The REAR passenger window button which NEVER had a problem is stuck, like there's a pebble under the button preventing it from lowering the window. It can barely be pulled back, but the window's already raised. This is just shoddy work (except for the seat cleaning)...ESPECIALLY for a $325 detail. ****Spoiler end**** Like most vets, I like my things relatively clean and working well, so car detailings each Spring and Fall is a norm for me. Having to share my car with a s.o. that gave zero effs about car maintenance (inside/outside/mechanical) had me relenting to the cream cloth seats getting pretty bad over the last few yrs plus "our" horrible finance mgmt made things worse. I got the car back this Spring (paid off now too...whoo-whee!), and took care of the overdue engine/suspension work (from Jun-Sept) first, then shopped around and settled on Extreme for the detail since I could drop it off and tour the missed parts of DC while she got her "Extreme" makeover. After the upsell onsite, I asked if the driver's window button for the front passenger window being a little loose is a problem (explaining that some light playing gets the window working). I was assured it wasn't. I was told the work would take from 10:30-6PM. From Bethesda to Ballston to U Street to the Mall, I got it all in and my legs got a workout! Extreme calls @ 5:50 telling me my car wouldn't be ready until 7 PM. Plenty tired, but eager for a clean car, I said, "Sure, no problem", and schlepped around until a little after 7. The seats were almost as clean as when I bought it in 2012!!! AMAZING! With me being so tired, being in a darkened garage, having at least 30 details with various vehicles (mine and gifts) under my belt, and the seats looking so damn good, I was satisfied. Seats still damp, I was told the seats should be fully dry in 1-2 days. Cool. I leave in the sun for the next 1-2 days w/carbon bags take out humidity/scent. After the 4pm NFL game, the seats dry! Stuff back in, looks good, smells good!! Going to pick up my son, the driver's passenger window buttons are screwed. AND the radio's acting funny. I've NEVER had issues like this after a detail. Normally, the car's just been cleaned and I move on with other stuff. UNACCEPTABLE. I'd only recommend a basic interior/exterior for now. It's 12 Oct, and I'll be taking it back for them to resolve these issues and I'll post an update. Update: Spoke with owner about all issues and we're working to get them resolved next week. I was upset about my car's condition; he had a problem with me not coming to him first, but I think we understand each other's viewpoint. Edited my review and added a star.

    Car after ceramic sercice

    TAKE your car to them. I have been coming for a few years and they are consistently the best in town. Their ceramic service is top notch. My car looks brand new. I can't say enough about how good they are. I tell everyone about them.

    Before: water stains

    If I could give Extreme Detail 10 stars I would. My wife owns a compact car that has only ever been washed and never detailed since it was bought in 2012. Of course, over the years, there have been spills and stains. The most recently being water that was spilled and eventually dried, leaving a disgusting stain. My wife hired a car detailing service that came to our home and they were awful - a true waste of money (I'll leave that for another Yelp review). Needless to say the car still needed to be clean and so naturally, I went on Yelp and found Extreme Detail. I called the morning of and was able to bring the car in on the same day (I was already impressed). Finding the place can be a bit challenging and frustrating because of where they are located. *You have to go on Park Rd NW and park in the parking garage for the shopping area, get a parking ticket, and go to the lower level of the parking garage where Target signs are posted.* There are a few signs for Extreme Detail, but you have to pay attention to see them. After finally finding them and being over 30 minutes late (one way streets are not our friends), Leo greeted us with a smile and kindness. I showed him the specific areas in the car that needed the most work and he told me they would do their best and walked be through the process. They said they would be done with the car in about 4 hours (around 6:00 pm). I spent my time in Target and Marshalls while they worked on the car. Around 5:30 pm Leo gave me a call to tell me that the car was ready (more points for being done early). However, he also told me that the seats had to be washed twice due to the tough stains and the seats were wait. We had two options: 1. take the car with the wet seats and possibly have a humid smell (no thanks) or 2. leave the car with them so they can run their fans throughout the night and pick it up in the morning. We decided to leave the car and Leo was nice enough to validate the ticket (more points)! The car was picked up the next morning and I cannot believe how good it looks. It seriously looks better than when it was bought. Being honest, I was skeptical but I am now a true believer and supporter of Extreme Detail. Leo and his team got out the stubborn stains, cleaned every crevice, polished the rims, etc. The total for the the full interior and exterior was $110.00 w/out the generous tip we left. This was a promotional offer and is usually more. If you decide on a promotional offer, the 10% check-in with Yelp cannot be combined - decide wisely. This place is the real deal. The team is hard working, pay attention to detail, and know true customer service. I can't wait to take the car back to Extreme Detail!

    This is my second time using this hand wash service, it's near my home and convenient. First time was great even tho they performed an up-charged service I didn't request, this time not so much. Someone on this staff is a thief and tried to steal a USB iPhone charger from me. I purposely removed it from its port and put it into my dash console and closed it. Yet and still they tried to steal. I helped them look for it and this person returned it after finding it on the driver side floor--where I just so happened to be searching. So future advice if you use this service, hide ya wife hide ya kids they'll steal from your car. I also tipped them too! I didn't ask for it back, but I'll never come back!

    I typically have my car professionally detailed one time / year. I purchased the Exotic Detail for $100 hoping to have the interior of my car looking better, but they went above and beyond. My car feels brand new - not a crumb in site. My rims and cup holders have never been this clean, not a speck of dust on my dashboard, my floors look perfect. Literally, every surface of my car was cleaned, and the outside is super shiny as well. I dropped off my car at 4PM and picked it up by 7PM. I got Chick fil A, went to Target and Marshalls, then sat at a coffee shop until my car was ready. This was the best car service I've ever had, and I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Before & After
    Vinita P.

    I researched a couple of auto detail places in DC and Extreme Detail was the closest/most convenient to me and had most competitive prices. I usually don't get my car cleaned other than the complimentary vacuum during my check ups but after a few long distance road trips and actually feeling gross in my own car I knew it was time to invest in a detail. I got the full interior detail combo (#4 & #9) with exterior wash and the improvement was like night and day. It was my first detail so there was 7 years worth of build up they made disappear. I was shocked they were even able to get bike chain grease off my fabric seats. I feel crappy I didn't have more cash to tip them better but I hope this 5 star review will bring them more business! Now that I know how great it feels to have a clean car I'll prob work a wash and/or interior clean into my monthly routine now.

    Good as new!

    See all

    I see the pricing for SUVs but not Mini-vans. Approximately, how much would it cost to detail a mini-van?

    I don’t know. I got a car done there. Your best bet is to give them a call ‭(202) 750-6644‬. Hope this is helpful.

    I want to get the exterior of my car detailed, how much would it cost?

The wheels and tires looked brand new, the interior was spotless, and the finish on the exterior was flawless. What really sets them apart is consistency. Every time I go back, they deliver that same "new car" look, feel, and even smell. It's honestly addictive. I've gotten so many compliments on how good my car looks, inside and out. They also hooked me up with a lifetime discount on detailing packages, which means I'm a regular now--and happily so. A quick tip for first-timers: they're located on the bottom level of a parking garage, so you'll need to grab a ticket to enter. Don't worry though--the team will take care of letting you out so you won't be charged for parking. If you're looking for a detailer that truly cares about their work and consistently delivers amazing results, Capitol Shine is it. Five stars all the way.

Very thorough, and while their price is high it's in line with the area. The issue I had was with their tint jobs. I've had 5 vehicles tinted at Capitol Shine, and while the first 4 were absolutely flawless, the 5th one had to be redone *three* separate times for major issues -- I'm not talking about a little speck of dust here or there, but major contamination. The final time they tinted the last vehicle, they ended up damaging the leather in the car by letting the tinting spray sit on the leather under the window for too long. To their credit, they apologized and refunded me for the tint job -- but I still had to go and have the leather replaced, which was a major pain in the ass. So, if you're looking for detailing - A+ work. If you're looking for tinting, be careful.
