Quick Answer

What's included in a motorcycle detail, and is it worth it?

A motorcycle detail is a careful, by-hand reset of your bike. Hand wash, degreasing of the wheels and grime-packed spots, wax or sealant on the paint, and seat and leather care. From $199, done in 2 to 3 hours, right in your San Diego garage or driveway.

Worth it? Salt air, sun and road grime work on a bike every ride, and a driveway wash can do more harm than good. Keep scrolling for what is included, exact pricing, and ceramic coating for riders who want the shine to last.

You wipe the tank down after every ride, and the rest of the bike deserves the same

You notice the bug guts on the fairing. The grime packed around the engine. The water spots that show up the second the sun hits the tank.

Here is the twist: the driveway wash can make it worse. Dish soap strips the wax off your paint and the lube off your chain, and a strong hose pushes water into bearings and wiring. A pro detailer does it by hand, at your place, with the same care they bring to car detailing in San Diego.

No trailer, no shop, no waiting room. Your bike gets detailed right where it already lives.

A portion of every detail supports Frosted Faces, a local rescue that gives senior dogs and cats a second chance.

What Your Detailer Takes Care Of

Every motorcycle detail starts at $199 and covers the four things a bike needs most. Your detailer brings the water, power and products.

Every motorcycle detail includes:

A careful hand wash around gauges, cables and connectors
Degreasing for the wheels and the grime-packed spots
Wax or sealant so dirt and water slide off the paint
Seat and leather care, cleaned and conditioned against the sun

Want the shine to last longer than wax can? Riders who love their bike add ceramic coating, quoted by text further down. Between details, a gentle hand rinse and a soft microfiber towel keep it looking right.

Want the Shine to Last for Years? Ceramic Coating for Motorcycles

Wax lasts weeks. A ceramic coating bonds to the paint and keeps that just-detailed shine for years: water beads off, bugs and brake dust wipe away, and the tank holds its color in the sun. Here is a real job from the network, filmed at the owner’s home.
