Target Specific Problems Without Overpaying

Add-On Detailing Services in Columbus

Not every vehicle needs a full interior and exterior detail, but most have at least one area that could use extra attention. Pet hair embedded in carpet fibers, a stained headliner, light scratches on the door panels, or a car seat that has collected crumbs and spills all require focused work that goes beyond a standard wash or vacuum. If you drive regularly in Columbus and use your vehicle for family trips, commuting, or hauling pets, these problem areas build up faster than you might expect.

Lucas Auto Detail Garage offers flexible add-on services that allow you to address specific concerns without paying for a complete package. Options include headliner cleaning, pet hair removal, clay bar treatment and wax, scratch removal, ceramic coating upgrades, and baby or booster seat cleaning. Each add-on is designed to handle a particular issue, and you can combine them with a core detailing service or schedule them individually depending on your vehicle's condition and your budget.

If you want to customize your next detail or address a specific issue in Columbus, contact us to discuss which add-ons make sense for your vehicle and schedule.

What Each Add-On Service Includes

Headliner cleaning removes stains, smoke residue, and discoloration from the fabric ceiling panel without causing sagging or water damage. Pet hair removal uses specialized tools to lift fur from carpet, seat crevices, and cargo areas where standard vacuums often miss. Clay bar treatment removes bonded contaminants from the paint surface before wax is applied, resulting in a smoother finish. In Columbus, where road tar and tree sap are common, this step makes a noticeable difference in how clean the paint feels.

After scratch removal, light surface marks on clear coat or plastic trim will be less visible or completely gone depending on depth. Ceramic coating upgrades provide longer-lasting paint protection than traditional wax, with better resistance to water spots and environmental contaminants. Baby and booster seat cleaning removes food particles, juice stains, and grime from straps, buckles, and fabric covers, leaving the seat ready for safe reuse.

Each add-on is priced separately and can be combined based on your priorities. Some services, such as scratch removal, depend on the severity of the damage and may require an inspection before scheduling. Add-ons do not replace full detailing but allow you to address high-priority areas efficiently.

How to Choose the Right Add-Ons

Many customers want to know which add-ons are worth scheduling, whether they can be done alone, and how long each service takes.

What is the difference between clay bar treatment and regular waxing?
Waxing adds a protective layer on top of existing paint, but clay bar treatment removes embedded contaminants like tar and industrial fallout first. This makes the paint smoother and allows wax to bond more effectively.
How long does pet hair removal take?
Pet hair removal typically takes between thirty minutes and one hour depending on the amount of fur and where it has settled. Vehicles with heavy shedding or long-haired pets require more time.
Can scratch removal fix deep scratches?
Light scratches in the clear coat can often be polished out, but deep scratches that reach the paint or primer require touch-up work or repainting. Lucas Auto Detail Garage will assess the damage and recommend the best option.
Why should I add ceramic coating instead of wax?
Ceramic coatings last longer and provide stronger protection against water spots, UV damage, and environmental contaminants. They also make future washing easier because dirt does not bond as strongly to the surface.
When should I schedule baby seat cleaning?
Schedule this service anytime the seat has visible stains, smells, or has been stored in a garage or vehicle for an extended period. Clean seats are safer and more comfortable for your child.
