1. Size: Many car detailers group sizes into four categories - Small (compact or hatchback), Medium (small sedan or coupe), Large (large sedan or station wagon) and Extra large (4WD or van).
2. Service: Car detailing services range from a standard wash to deep scratch removal. Popular services include:
- Standard maintenance - this usually covers an exterior wash, covering all surfaces of a vehicle and its wheels/tyres and under guards, exterior glass cleaning, interior vacuum, polish of interior surfaces, exhaust polish and spray wax.
- Protection work - this includes standard service (above), as well as the application of a sealant across paintwork and glass surfaces to protect against environmental factors, as well as an interior surface treatment.
- Light restoration - such services aim to remove light marring and scratches.
- Full restoration - this is a service that aims to remove deeper scratches in the paintwork, with a wax finish.
Pricing
- A basic car detailing service will cost around $150 to $200 for a standard-sized car, which thoroughly cleans your car outside and inside.
- Generally, an Exterior Clean will be around $100 and an Interior Clean will be around $75.
- Optional services, such as seat and floor mat shampooing, engine cleans and leather polish, won't be included in a standard package. These will cost around $50 to $100 each, depending on your vehicle size.
- Before agreeing to any detailing service, ask if the price includes GST. Many companies pay for car detailing and GST is less relevant to them. Having a GST-inclusive quote is important if you're paying for it out of your own pocket.
