A full detail cleans the inside and the outside in one visit. Salt Lake City detailers publish it as a three-class price: sedan, small SUV, and truck or XL SUV.
This page explains what a full detail includes, what the published Salt Lake City price bands are, how vehicle class changes the number, and what to ask before you book. The detailers are local independents; this site matches you to them and you pay them directly.

A full detail is two jobs on one vehicle: an exterior wash and protection service, and a complete interior clean. The exterior side is a hand wash, wheels and tires, glass, and a wax or sealant. The interior side is a full vacuum, every hard surface wiped, carpets and mats shampooed, and leather or fabric treated.
Because both halves run in one appointment, expect two to four hours on site for a sedan, and longer for a truck or a badly soiled interior. The detailer brings water and power, or asks about a hookup before the visit.
Local operators publish these bands:
A maintenance plan at one local shop takes $100 off a full detail. The gap between the low and high end is not quality theatre: it is the difference between a wash-and-vacuum job and a decontamination with machine work on the paint.
Every Salt Lake City price table we read prices a coupe or sedan, a small SUV, and a truck or XL SUV separately. The spread is real work: more paint surface, more glass, a taller roof line to reach, and a bigger cabin to vacuum. A three-row SUV can sit $70 to $140 above a sedan at the same shop for the same package.
State the exact vehicle when you ask for a quote. A quote given for a sedan and applied to a Tahoe is the most common billing surprise in this trade.
Winter road salt and brine stay on rocker panels for months, spring dust blows in, and the high-altitude sun is hard on clear coat.
Salt Lake City Public Utilities delivers mountain snowmelt, which is moderately hard and leaves rings on glass if it dries.

Two to four hours for a sedan in average condition. A truck, a three-row SUV, or a vehicle with pet hair and heavy dust can take five hours or more, and the detailer should say so in the quote.
Most mobile detailers carry their own water and a generator or battery setup. Ask before the visit, because some add a hookup fee if they must use the customer's supply.
The published Salt Lake City band is $187 to $217 for a full detail on a truck or XL SUV, against a per-vehicle quote for a sedan.
