I’m trying to understand the actual difference between regular interior cleaning and professional interior detailing. For example, is interior detailing just a more thorough cleaning, or does it involve additional processes such as deep cleaning carpets and upholstery, leather conditioning, stain removal, dashboard treatment, and odor removal?

For those who regularly maintain their cars, what services do you consider essential for interior detailing, and how often do you usually get it done? I’d also be interested to hear whether professional detailing makes a noticeable difference compared with a normal interior cleaning.

I live in an area where dust accumulates on my car within a day or two, even after washing it. I'm considering getting a ceramic coating, but I'm wondering whether it's actually worth the investment in dusty conditions.

I have a daily-driven car and live in an area with dust, hard water, and strong sunlight. I'm considering spending around ₹15–25k on ceramic coating, but I'm unsure if the benefits justify the cost in Indian conditions.

I'm looking to upgrade my car detailing products and would love some recommendations from people with real-world experience.
