Car Detailing Prices in Richmond, KY: Choosing the Right Package
By Kyle Massingill, owner of Forged by Heart — five years of hands-on detailing experience in Richmond, KY. Published 2026-09-21.
Detailing prices move with two things: how big the vehicle is and how much work the interior needs. Below are the actual Forged by Heart prices, plus a straightforward way to decide which package fits.
Package prices by vehicle size
A car is a sedan or coupe. An SUV covers most crossovers and mid-size SUVs. Large Vehicle covers full-size trucks, three-row SUVs and vans.
- Heartfelt Refresh — Car $180 · SUV $210 · Large Vehicle $240
- Signature Deep Clean — Car $240 · SUV $265 · Large Vehicle $315
- Forged Finish — Car $365 · SUV $415 · Large Vehicle $490
- Fresh Start — Car $540 · SUV $665 · Large Vehicle $740
À la carte starting prices
À la carte services are starting prices because condition changes the work involved. Packages are fixed prices for the listed scope.
- Basic Interior — from $145 (car), $165 (SUV), $195 (large vehicle)
- Full Interior — from $195 / $220 / $270
- Exterior Only — from $115 / $135 / $155
- Engine Bay — from $35 / $45 / $55
- Clay Bar Treatment — from $85 / $105 / $125
Choosing by condition, not by price
- Regularly maintained, no pet hair, light dust: Heartfelt Refresh.
- Carpet or seats need shampooing, or there is pet hair or a dirty headliner: Signature Deep Clean.
- Interior is handled and the paint feels rough or you want wax protection: Forged Finish.
- Interior is heavily soiled, has heavy pet hair, or needs decontamination: Fresh Start.
What changes the final number
Vehicle size is the first factor and is already in the price table. Condition is the second: heavy pet hair, ground-in carpet soil, spills and contamination all add time. Extreme mold and biohazard cases are quoted separately after inspection rather than squeezed into a package price.
Final scope is confirmed at booking, so the price you are quoted is the price for the work agreed on.
