There are several advantages to being on a maintenance detail plan, beginning with the most obvious, it is cheaper! Because the car is detailed on a regular basis, it does not require the same amount of product, effort, and cleaning that a one-time customer's car requires, and it is for this reason that a maintenance plan does not cost the same amount as the standard full detail cost. One thing that I like to tell all of my customers is "Maintenance is better than the cure." This is probably very self-explanatory, but most people leave their cars to collect so much dirt that by the time I show up, it cannot be restored to perfection, or "Like new condition." Just like a regular check-up at the doctor's office keeps you from getting sick, and prevents serious disease, a regular detail on a car will keep it in the like-new, or showroom condition because dirt is not allowed to sit for an extended period of time, and therefore does not become a permanent part of the car. Just like anything else in life, regularly cleaning your car's interior and exterior will inevitably extend the life of the car, and not to mention, will probably increase its value if you decide to trade it in.
