From coffee spills and trips with your pets to kids with crayons, there are many reasons to have your car professionally detailed. Maybe you’re headed out for a special evening, wanting to do a little spring cleaning, or just don’t have time to get the look you want yourself.
Our dedicated auto detailing services guarantee that your car will look its very best. In fact, every car that comes through Bemac’s doors is cleaned on the way in, and washed and detailed on the way out. This process ensures that you have a clean car and that our mechanics, painters and auto body professionals can properly assess imperfections and damage.
Auto detailing services (wash, interior and exterior detailing) are FREE with every mechanical, auto body, collision or paint job! But you can also bring any car in for some TLC including a wash, shine, detailing and more (see our list of TLC detailing services below).

Absolutely fantastic people to deal with. We brought our SUV in for a detailing after our windshield was broken. Joe took the time to even blow out the glass from the vents! The detailing was absolutely fantastic, it felt and smelt like a brand new vehicle!

Our Car Detailing Services
You can start with the exterior car detailing and wash and add on any other services from our list below as well.
- Exterior Wash. This is a thorough but gentle wash of the entire exterior of the car.
- Interior and Exterior Auto Detailing Service. Includes an interior vacuum, interior wipe down, and tire shine.
- Clay Bar Treatment. Brake dust, metal particles, and even the finest dirt sticks to the clay resin and is removed without scratching. You can learn more about how detailing clay works here >
- Wax and Buff. This includes a Sanctiond wax application by hand and machine buff. Sweet shine! We also do the tire shine as part of this treatment.
- Rims. We use a non-acid acid remover to protect against brake debris.
- Windshield Aquapel Treatment. Once the Aquapel protective treatment is applied, you almost don’t need windshield wipers – water just beads up and rolls off. Snow and even bugs are easier to clean off of the windshield.
- XPEL Paint Protection Film. XPEL is a clear film that protects your car’s headlights and the paint on the hood, front bumper, and mirrors.
- Interior Shampoo. If your car has salty floors after a long winter or a coffee spill on the seats, a good shampooing treatment will make your fabrics look as good as new.
- Deodorizing Treatment. For lingering odours like spoiled milk, vomit or diaper explosion (don’t you just love kids), you may need to get serious.
- Interior Leather Conditioning. If you want to keep your leather seats and trim looking like new, a leather conditioning treatment will work like magic.

It also includes waxing, polishing, interior vacuuming, steam cleaning, and conditioning of surfaces.
Car Detailing FAQs
If you want to keep your car looking great, we recommend getting it detailed every four to six months. Regular cleaning and detailing is your secret weapon against dirt, grime, and the elements. More than just looking sharp—detailing protects your paint, gets out blemishes, and keeps your interior pristine. Plus, it keeps your car’s value and extends the life of its components by eliminating harmful dust and contaminants.
The average Canadian car owner gets their car detailed 2-3 times per year, showing a strong demand for professional-level cleaning.
Our car detailing service makes a huge difference. The benefits can include:
- Enhanced Appearance: We’re talking showroom shine. A thorough clean and polish will get rid of scratches, swirl marks, and any other blemishes, making your car look a million bucks.
- Protection: Think of detailing as your car’s armour. It shields your paint from UV rays, road salt, bird droppings, tree sap—you name it. A coat of wax or sealant adds an extra layer of defense, keeping your paint looking pristine longer.
- Increased Resale Value: A clean, well-maintained car is a hot commodity. Regular detailing keeps your car looking its best, which increases its resale value when it’s time to sell.
- Improved Comfort: A spotless interior looks great and puts your mind at ease. Deep cleaning seats, carpets, and upholstery gets rid of stains, odours, and dirt, making every drive more enjoyable.
- Health Benefits: Dust, allergens, bacteria—all gone. Regular detailing improves air quality inside your car, lowering health risks and making your ride better for everyone.
- Extended Lifespan of Interior: Detailing preserves your car’s materials. Clean and condition those leather seats, dashboards, and surfaces to prevent cracking, fading, and wear.
- Attention to Detail: Professional detailing catches the small stuff before it becomes big problems. This meticulous care can save you money on repairs down the line.
- Makes Your Car Safer at Night: In order to be safer on the road at night or in bad weather, you need to be seen. And in order to be seen your headlights and taillights need to be as clean as possible.
- Increases the Lifespan of Your Tires: Your tires pick up oil and chemicals from the road, and also accumulate brake dust. By getting these cleaned off regularly, you help prevent sidewall cracking and even help prevent corrosion on the wheels themselves.
A typical detailing session can run from two to six hours, depending on your vehicle's size, condition, and what kind of TLC it needs. Our skilled techs dive into every detail, from a thorough wash and wax to deep-cleaning the interior, conditioning the leather, and restoring the finish, depending on the services you request. We use high-end products and cutting-edge techniques to make your car look and feel amazing.
That really depends on your preferences. But here’s a golden rule: detail it at least twice a year to keep it looking sharp and protect it from the grind.
Spring and Fall: These seasons are prime time for detailing in Ottawa. After a brutal winter, a spring detail gets rid of salt stains, road grime, and all the winter gunk, protecting your paint and undercarriage. Come fall, prepping your car for winter will make sure it's clean and shielded before the cold hits.
Before Special Events: Have a wedding or big event coming up? Show up in a car that’s sparkling. A detailed ride leaves a lasting impression, and a spotless interior shows you’re organized and in control of your life.
After Long Trips: Just back from a 30 hour road trip? Your car’s probably seen better days. A deep clean and thorough detail will wipe away the accumulated dirt and grime, keeping your vehicle in tip-top shape for your next adventure.
Regular Maintenance: Consistent detailing every few months keeps your car looking good, extends its lifespan, and retains its value. Get an interior cleaning with pet hair removal, an exterior cleaning, salt removal—the works. Maintain that showroom shine and protect your investment.
Car detailing and car wash are two different services that cater to the maintenance and cleanliness of your vehicle.
While both aim to enhance the appearance of your car, there are distinct differences between the two automotive services.
Car Detailing: Car detailing is a comprehensive and meticulous process that involves cleaning and restoring both the exterior and interior of the vehicle.
Detailing goes beyond the standard car wash, focusing on removing dirt, stains, and imperfections from every nook and cranny. It includes services like waxing, polishing, interior vacuuming, steam cleaning, and conditioning of surfaces.
Car detailing provides a thorough and long-lasting result, leaving your vehicle looking almost brand new.
Car Wash: Car wash, on the other hand, is a quicker and less detailed process primarily focused on cleaning the exterior of the car. It usually involves a machine or hand wash, where the car’s surface is washed, rinsed, and sometimes dried.
While a car wash is effective in removing surface dirt, it may not address more stubborn stains or provide the same level of shine and protection as car detailing.
