Honest, up-front pricing for detailing, rust protection, ceramic coating, and paint correction. Every detailing package is priced by vehicle size, so here is what things actually cost at our Bowmanville shop and what moves the number up or down.
Every detailing price is set by vehicle size. Compact cars sit at the low end; trucks, 3-row SUVs, and dualies sit at the top. Wash & Wax: $50 to $80. Hand wash and ceramic wax. Small car to XL commercial. Clay Bar & Wax: $140 to $200. Complete exterior with clay decontamination, tires and plastics dressed. Interior Detail: $130 to $200. Compressed-air blowout, full vacuum, surfaces degreased, mats and glass. Interior Deep Clean: $180 to $350. Adds hot water extraction of seats and carpets, steam clean, leather conditioning. Full Detail (interior + exterior): $180 to $280. Interior Detail plus Wash & Wax. Most cars land around $210. Showroom Detail: $320 to $550. Interior Deep Clean plus Clay Bar & Wax. Most cars land around $400.
Rust Check is a two-step, 100% oil-based system, never rubberized. The dripless Coat & Protect undercoat is included in the full service. Ultimate Rust Check (undercoat included): $140 to $200. Two-step oil application. Small car to XL dually. Applied annually. Dripless Coat & Protect undercoat (standalone): From $75. Undercarriage-only oil coat, without the cavity drip step. First-time drill charge: $10 one-time. Only if your vehicle has no access holes yet. Returning vehicles reuse them, no charge.
These are quote-based after we see the paint. Prices below are the standard size-tiered range. Paint Correction (single stage): $300 to $450. Removes 60 to 70% of swirl marks and light scratches. Advanced Paint Correction (dual stage): $500 to $700. Removes 85 to 95% of deeper defects and oxidation. Ceramic Coating: $400 to $550. 3 to 5 year hydrophobic protection, clay prep, 24-hour shop cure. Single correction + Ceramic: $700 to $1,000. Single-stage polish then ceramic coating. Dual correction + Ceramic: $900 to $1,250. Two-stage cut and polish then ceramic coating.
Stack these onto any package. Common ones customers ask about: Headlight Restoration: $90. Wet sand, polish, and UV sealant. A great door-opener add-on. Valet Pickup & Delivery: $30. Bowmanville and Clarington area. Outside that, quoted on request. Engine Bay Cleaning: $85. Full degrease, spray wax, rinse and dry. Pet Hair Removal: From $50. Priced by severity. Ground-in hair takes real time. Ozone Odour Treatment: $40. 45-minute ozone plus air-out. Kills odour at the source. Salt Stain Removal: From $25 per footwell. Winter calcium and salt stains lifted out of carpet.
Vehicle size: This is the single biggest factor. Every package is tiered by size, from small car up to XL commercial. A crew-cab truck or 3-row SUV has far more surface, glass, and cavity than a compact, so it costs more at the same service level. How dirty it is: Pet hair, ground-in road salt, spilled coffee, heavy oxidation, and years of neglect all add labour time. A tidy interior at the same tier costs less than one that needs a full reset. How deep you go: Wash & Wax versus Clay Bar & Wax, Interior Detail versus Deep Clean, single-stage versus dual-stage correction. Each step up buys more removal and more time in the bay. Add-ons: Ozone odour treatment, pet hair removal, engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, and salt removal stack on top of the base package price. First Rust Check only: A one-time $10 drill charge applies only if your vehicle has no access holes yet. Returning vehicles reuse the same plugged holes every year, so there is no drill charge after the first visit.
