Lease return inspections are designed to find problems. Stained seats, scratched paint, curbed wheels, cloudy headlights, mystery odors — the inspector is checking every box, and every checked box is money out of your pocket. Dealers regularly hit returning lessees with $500-$2,000+ in excess wear charges.
A professional lease return detail before your inspection eliminates most of those charges before the inspector even shows up. Stains get extracted. Scratches get corrected. Headlights get restored. You spend $200-$500 on detailing instead of $1,500 on dealer penalties. The math is simple.

Anyone Returning a Lease Within 90 Days Book us before your pre-inspection or before your turn-in date. We address every common wear-and-tear issue that triggers excess wear charges — stains, scratches, odors, headlights, and curb rash.
High-Mileage Lessees If you drove more than expected, your interior and exterior show it. Professional detailing resets the appearance so mileage penalties aren't compounded by condition penalties.
NYC Street Parkers Ending a Lease Three years of NYC street parking means salt damage, door dings, and paint contamination. We can't fix body damage, but we can correct paint, restore headlights, and make your car present as well as possible.
Dealers charge $500-$2,000 in excess wear fees. A $300 detail before your return eliminates most of those charges. This is the easiest money you'll ever save.
Lease Holders
We know what lease inspectors look for because we've prepped hundreds of lease returns. Interior stains, carpet wear, leather damage, paint scratches, headlight clarity, wheel condition, and odors are the top charge categories. Our lease return package specifically targets every one of these areas. See our full detailing services →
Basic Lease Return Clean
Full interior vacuum and wipe down, exterior hand wash, interior and exterior glass cleaning, tire dressing. The minimum to present a clean vehicle. Best for leases with minimal wear that just need a thorough cleaning before inspection.
Full Lease Return Detail
Complete interior deep clean including carpet extraction, seat shampooing, leather conditioning, odor treatment, plus full exterior wash with clay bar decontamination and headlight restoration. Addresses the top 5 excess wear categories inspectors flag. This is what most returning lessees need.
Lease Return Correction & Restore
Everything above plus single-stage paint correction to remove swirl marks and light scratches, trim restoration, wheel detail, engine bay cleaning, and door jamb cleaning. For leases with heavier wear that need to look as close to new as possible. The investment here prevents significantly larger dealer charges.
WHY THIS SAVES YOU HUNDREDS
Wear Assessment We evaluate your vehicle against standard lease inspection criteria and identify every area likely to trigger a charge — before the inspector does.
Interior Reset Hot water extraction on carpets and fabric seats. Leather cleaning and conditioning. Odor elimination. Dashboard, console, and trim restoration. We address every interior wear point.
Exterior Correction Hand wash, decontamination, light scratch correction, headlight restoration, wheel and tire detail. We make your exterior present as clean and well-maintained as possible.
Final Walk-Through We do our own pre-inspection check before we leave. If something isn't right, we fix it on the spot.
Most people don't think about lease return detailing until two days before turn-in. By then, you're scrambling. The smart move is booking 1-2 weeks before your inspection date. That gives us time to do the work properly and gives you time for a second pass if needed.
We've saved clients thousands in lease penalties with a single detail session. Stain extraction that prevents a $300 interior charge. Headlight restoration that avoids a $400 replacement charge. Paint correction that eliminates a $500 excess wear assessment. The ROI on a lease return detail is often 3-5x the cost of the service itself.
