Basic car detailing costs around $45 to $130 for an average-sized car and $75 to $150 for an SUV. The service includes a wash, wax, interior vacuuming, interior polish, window wash, mirror and trim cleaning and tire cleaning.

However, a full car detail requires attention to detail, taking more time and effort to make the car back to new condition. It targets all stains, marks, and imperfections. Detailing also will focus on waxing and polishing. This will also include a through wipe and clean of interior as well and can cost you between $150 and $500 depending on the vehicle size and level of clean you go for.

Car detailing is the art of cleaning and restoring a car or vehicle to like-new condition. The process is labour intensive but more thorough than a standard car clean, and is often broken down into interior and exterior sections, as well as engine cleaning.

Exterior cleaning includes Wash and dry, Paint Claying, Polishing and waxing. Still, it can involve trim repainting, glass chip repair, engine detailing, engine pressure cleaning, headlight polishing, bumper repair, and paint touch up.

Interior cleaning involves scrubbing and brushing, vacuuming, glass cleaning, leather trimming, steam cleaning and perfuming.

Car detailing keeps your car shiny and like now and will also help increase the resale value but improves your pride of ownership. A complete valet can make your vehicle look as good as new when done by someone who has experience in cleaning cars, so you get a tangible return on your investment!

This really depends on how dirty the car is as well a car’s size, and how thorough the detailer plans to get.
For a full detailing, i.e., both interior and exterior, it takes an average of 1-2 hours. However, for a car that isn’t excessively dirty could take longer. If you were doing an inside and out of a caravan, with full interior vacuums and polish, this would take a full day.

We recommend you wash your car every two weeks generally at least. However, you can wash your car every week, depending on how dirty it gets. If you live in salty areas where it’s a rainy climate, you may need to wash your car more often. Salt corrodes metal causing rusting and dirt splashing from puddles will soil the car quicker.

If your car has minor scratches and chips, the detailers can apply touch-up paint to cover them up. However, in case of severe damage, you will need a full paint and clear coat, which is then subjected to sanding and waxing and will have additional costs involved.

Car detailing keeps your car brand new and shiny, which not only increases the resale value but boosts your pride of ownership. A complete detailing can make your vehicle look as good as new when done by professionals. That makes worth the cost.
