Average car detailing costs
Professional car detailing prices varies depending on the level of work required, vehicle condition, and the finish you’re looking for.
As a general guide:
- Exterior detail: from £80 for a safe wash to £150+ including decontamination
- Interior detail: £150 – £300 depending on depth of clean
- Full detail (interior and exterior): from £120 up to £300+ depending on level
- Paint correction: from £350+
- Ceramic coating: from £550+
Every vehicle is different, so the best way to get an accurate price is to request a quote based on your specific requirements.
We tailor each service depending on the vehicle and level of finish required, rather than offering one-size-fits-all packages.
What affects the price?
No two vehicles are the same, and detailing is not a one-size-fits-all service.
The main factors that influence cost include:
- Vehicle size, for example a small hatchback compared with an SUV
- Condition, especially heavily used interiors or scratched paintwork
- Level of service, from a maintenance detail to deeper correction and protection
- Products used, including professional-grade coatings and longer-term protection
Why cheaper detailing isn’t always better
Lower-priced services often come with trade-offs such as rushed work, lower-quality products, and limited long-term protection.
Professional detailing focuses on safe wash methods, proper techniques, attention to detail, and results that last longer. In many cases, that gives better value over time than a quick low-cost clean.
Mobile detailing vs studio-based work
We offer both options depending on the service required:
- Mobile detailing — carried out at your home or workplace for convenience
- Garage-based services in Windsor — ideal for paint correction, machine polishing and ceramic coatings
This gives customers flexibility depending on the level of work needed.
Areas we cover
We regularly cover West London, Surrey, Berkshire and surrounding areas, travelling depending on the service required.
How often should you get your car detailed?
How often you should get your car detailed depends on how you use your vehicle and the level of finish you want to maintain.
For most vehicles, a professional detail every 3–6 months helps maintain both appearance and protection. If your car is used daily or exposed to harsher conditions, more regular maintenance may be beneficial.
For higher-end vehicles or those with ceramic coatings, regular maintenance washes and periodic detailing can help preserve the finish and protect the paintwork long term.
We regularly work on a range of vehicles, from daily drivers to high-end cars, delivering results tailored to each customer.
