Save $10 Star Polish & $35 Full Detail for Online Booking!

Getting your car professionally detailed is one of the best ways to protect your automobile investment. Not only will the look and feel of your car be dramatically improved, you will also enhance your car’s resale value while protecting your paintwork from wear and tear.

While an automated car wash may be less expensive than professional car detailing, it simply cannot restore your car to its original pristine condition. During professional car detailing, an expert detailer will use specialised products and tools to wash, polish and protect your vehicle, restoring that “like-new” feeling.

Keep reading to learn more about the average cost of car detailing and what services you can expect from the car detailing experts at Star Car Wash.

What is car detailing?

A professional car detail is the art and craft of restoring a car to its showroom look and feel, both inside and out.

Detailing is much more thorough and labour intensive than a simple automated car wash. A detail technician will meticulously clean, polish and protect both the exterior and interior of your vehicle by hand, including hard-to-reach areas like the trunk jambs and wheel wells.

While an automated car wash simply cleans the exterior of your vehicle, car detailing focuses on preserving its value. Car detailing can remove stains, odours and blemishes, revitalise interiors, restore paintwork and protect it from wear and tear.

 

What is involved in car detailing?

When you choose to have your car detailed, there are many different services available. Most professional detailers offer an interior detailing package and a full-detailing package that combines both the interior and exterior detailing of your car.

Interior detailing services can include:

  • A thorough vacuum of all mats, footwells, seats and boot
  • Leather seat cleaning and conditioning treatments
  • Upholstery cleaning
  • Cleaning and conditioning of dashboard and internal trims
  • Interior glass cleaning to remove smears and streaks

Exterior detailing services can include:

  • Wheel cleaning
  • Tyre shine
  • Clay bar and buffing restoration
  • Protective wax polish to clean and enhance paintwork
  • Conditioning of external trims
  • Exterior glass cleaning

Additional services may also be available like premium paint protection.

How much does car detailing cost?

Car detailing typically costs between $185 and $400 depending on the service you choose. Naturally, interior detailing only will be less expensive than a full car detail. This cost may be influenced by your vehicle’s size and condition.

Remember that while price is an important factor, it is not the only one you should consider. An automated car wash is much cheaper at face value, but car detailing is performed by hand and provides better and longer lasting results.
