Detailing & Maintenance · Ceramic Pro Elite Dealer, Davie FL

How much is a typical detail?

A typical full detail from a proper shop is a few hundred dollars, by vehicle size. Ours start at $300 and include decontamination, a safe wash, the interior and a protection step. Quick washes with dressing are cheaper and are not details.

The typical range

Specialist shops charge by size and by how much the car needs. A coupe that is maintained is at the bottom of the range; a large SUV with a year of beach sand and pet hair is at the top. From $300 here.

Machine paint correction (from $500), a new Ceramic Pro coating (from $499), engine bay, headliner, odor treatment.

What a typical detail is not

Related questions, answered.

Are car detailers worth it?
A good one, yes: they do things a car wash cannot, like decontaminating paint, correcting it, and protecting it, and they do the interior without silicone. A bad one adds swirls and charges for shine. The difference is the process, not the price. Full answer →
Is restoring your headlights worth it?
Yes, if you protect them afterward. Restoration alone buys a season or two, because the factory UV coating is gone once the lens is sanded. Restoration followed by clear paint protection film on the lens is the version that lasts. Full answer →
How do you fix cloudy headlights permanently?
Restore the lens, then cover it with clear paint protection film. Sanding and polishing clear the haze; the film replaces the UV protection that sanding removed and takes the pitting from then on. Without the film, the cloud comes back. Full answer →
Why is detailing so expensive?
Because it is hours of skilled labor, not a car wash. A proper detail decontaminates the paint, cleans every surface inside, and protects what it cleaned. A $30 wash takes ten minutes; a detail takes most of a day. Full answer →
