Full interior and exterior detailing for cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans across Kelowna and the surrounding Okanagan. Owner-operated, one vehicle at a time, since 2017.
A car wash removes what's loose on the surface. A detail removes what's bonded to it. Those are genuinely different jobs, and the gap between them is where most of the disappointment in this industry lives.
On the exterior, that means chemical decontamination to pull out embedded iron and industrial fallout, a clay treatment for what's left, and machine polishing to remove the swirls and marring that automatic washes put in. On the interior it means hot-water extraction, steam sanitation of every touch surface, and pulling the seats forward to reach what a shop-vac never does.
Done properly on a neglected vehicle, that's a full day of work. We book it as a full day.

Why the Okanagan Is Hard on Vehicles
Every step in our detailing process exists to counter something specific about this valley. Here's what we're actually fighting.
Highway 97 and the Coquihalla are treated with salt brine and calcium chloride from November through March. That solution wicks into seams, wheel wells, and frame rails and keeps working long after the road dries. It is the single biggest driver of undercarriage corrosion on Okanagan vehicles.
Okanagan wildfire season leaves a fine alkaline ash on every horizontal surface. Left on the paint through a heat cycle it etches clearcoat, and it pulls into cabin air intakes and upholstery where the smoke smell sets in. It needs chemical decontamination, not a rinse.
Kelowna averages over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year — among the highest in Canada. That UV load oxidises single-stage and older clearcoats, fades dashboards and door cards, and dries out leather and vinyl faster than almost anywhere else in the country.
Orchard and vineyard irrigation overspray, plus hard tap water, leaves mineral deposits that bond to glass and paint. Once those spots bake in the sun they etch below the surface and no longer wash off — they have to be polished out.
Ponderosa pine sap and spring pollen are relentless across the valley. Sap is acidic and cures hard onto clearcoat within days in summer heat. The longer it sits, the more likely removal means paint correction rather than a wash.
Winter traction gravel on Highway 97, the Connector, and the Coquihalla chips front-end paint every season. Chips expose bare metal, and bare metal in a road-salt environment is where rust starts.

Our Process
Send the form or call. We ask what you drive, what condition it's in, and what's bothering you about it.
Jordan reviews every request personally and sends a line-by-line quote — usually same day, always within 24 hours.
We take one vehicle at a time. You get a firm date, not a window, and your car isn't sitting half-done overnight.
We walk the vehicle with you before you pay, in daylight. If something isn't right, it doesn't leave until it is.

Common Questions
Peak Detailing is an owner-operated auto detailing and ceramic coating shop serving Kelowna BC and the surrounding Central, North, and South Okanagan since 2017. We specialise in interior and exterior detailing, paint correction, and multi-year ceramic coatings built for Okanagan conditions — high UV, wildfire ash, tree sap, and winter road brine. Every vehicle is handled by Jordan, the owner. Free written quotes at (250) 555-0182.
In Kelowna BC, a full interior and exterior detail on a mid-size car typically runs $250 to $400, and a truck, SUV, or van generally runs $350 to $550 depending on size and condition. Paint correction is quoted separately by the stage of correction required. Ceramic coating packages start around $900 for a one-year coating and run to $2,500 or more for multi-year systems with paint correction included. Peak Detailing provides free written quotes with no hidden fees.
A full interior detail at Peak Detailing takes 4 to 6 hours, and a full exterior detail takes roughly 2 to 3 hours. A combined interior and exterior detail is a full-day service. Paint correction adds 1 to 3 days depending on the stage required, and a multi-year ceramic coating is a 2 to 4 day booking because the coating has to cure properly between layers. We book one vehicle at a time — your car is never parked half-finished.
Yes — the Okanagan is close to a worst-case environment for automotive paint, which is exactly why ceramic coating pays off here. Kelowna sees over 2,000 hours of sunshine a year, wildfire ash through late summer, ponderosa pine sap, hard-water and sprinkler etching through orchard country, and salt brine on Highway 97 and the Coquihalla all winter. A ceramic coating from Peak Detailing puts a hard, UV-stable, hydrophobic barrier between your clearcoat and all of it, and makes ash, sap, and mineral spotting rinse off instead of bonding.
A car wash removes loose surface dirt. Auto detailing is a full decontamination and restoration process. At Peak Detailing a detail includes chemical and mechanical decontamination of the paint, machine polishing to remove embedded defects, interior steam cleaning and extraction, sanitation of every touch surface, and protection applied to paint, trim, glass, and upholstery. A wash takes fifteen minutes; a detail takes a day, and the result lasts months rather than until the next rain.
