same disclaimer - assuming you're serious:
it's sort of like "good", "bad", and other terms relative to your own judgement. "car wash" is like that too, at least the way used in common vernacular.
to some, a car wash is just hosing down the car. others require at least some vague soap like ingredient and brush/mitt/cloth. others include all major body surfaces, moldings, etc. maybe a wax, maybe not. so "car wash" is admittedly kinda not a very objective standard.
however, imho, "detail", while also still subjective, at least implies the upper range of whatever most deem to be a car wash plus at least one single thing extra that you don't do for whatever you call a car wash. in short, generally if you have your car detailed, you are having someone (or yourself) do the minute, small scale, fine work you would normally skip in your normal "car wash", no matter how extensive. also, again in my opinion, but while "car wash" is subjective about whether the interior is done, waxed, etc, the way most people commonly refer to detailing is that exterior and interior is cleaned, as well as a wax/polish involved.
i believe it would be an easy majority agreement that it is possible to refer to a "car wash" that includes everything but polishing/waxing and possible exlude the interior. but that it would be only a very small minority that would refer to something as a detail job if polishing/waxing wasn't involved.
