AfterGlow Maintenance Plans

Keep your car this clean, every month.

AfterGlow brings a Glosswerks crew back once a month for an interior reset and an exterior wash with sealant, at your home or office in Kyle, Buda, and San Marcos.

No long contract · 3-month minimum, then month-to-month.

Just Detailed

Without upkeep, this finish fades in about six weeks.

Why It Fades

Today it's perfect. In six weeks, it won't be.

Pollen, road film, Texas sun, the daily drive. Every car fades back. You can rescue it later, or never let it get there.

Week 1

Showroom finish. Glass is clear, paint is slick, the interior still smells new.

Week 6

Dust, water spots, crumbs in the seams. Still okay, but the edge is gone.

Week 12

Now it needs a full detail again, the expensive reset you just paid for.

The Math

Keeping it clean costs less than fixing it.

A full detail rescues a car that's fallen behind. Upkeep is faster, so it costs less to stay ahead than to keep catching up.

The Rescue Route

Book a full detail when it gets bad

$240 each time. To hold this finish you'd book one about every month.


$240 × 12 details a year
Yearly cost $2,880

...and it still dips between visits.

Afterglow Essentials

Monthly upkeep on a set schedule

$150/mo, done in 60 to 90 minutes. Annual plan: $1,620.


Annual plan a year
Yearly cost $1,620

Save $1,260, and it never dips.

Figures shown for a sedan. SUV / truck: roughly $5,040 in rescue details vs. $2,250 on the Essentials annual plan.

What Customers Say

Cleaner than the day they left the dealership.

★★★★★

"...going above and beyond to leave my car even nicer than the day I picked it up from the dealer... The maintenance plan they offer is convenient and affordable for in between cleanings. Google should add a 6th star for companies like Glosswerks."

Russell K.

Questions, answered

Am I locked into a contract? +

No long-term contract. We require a 3-month minimum to get your vehicle on a proper maintenance cycle, then it goes month-to-month. After that, cancel any time before your next billing date.

What if my car is already past upkeep? +

AfterGlow is maintenance, not a first-time detail. If your vehicle needs more than upkeep, we start with a full detail to bring it back, then set up your plan from there. We will tell you upfront.

Do I have to be home for each visit? +

No. We're fully self-contained and bring our own water and power. As long as we have access to the vehicle, you don't need to be there.

What's the difference between Essentials and Elite? +

Essentials is one standardized monthly visit: vacuum, wipe-down, and an exterior wash with sealant, done in 60 to 90 minutes. Elite pairs you with the same technician whenever possible, with flexible frequency and fully customized service each visit. It's for clients who want their car handled as an ongoing priority. See Elite.

Does AfterGlow help my ceramic coating warranty? +

Yes. GlossGuard's registered warranty covers up to 10 years when the coating is maintained by Glosswerks, and 3 years without. AfterGlow visits are that maintenance. About GlossGuard.

Keep The Finish You Paid For

Set up AfterGlow after your next detail.
