Most detailing companies make you call just to hear a number. We'd rather put ours in writing. These are our real 2026 prices for mobile car detailing across South Florida: what each service costs, what's included, and what makes a job land at the top or bottom of a range.
The Short Answer
- Full detail (sedan): $350–650
- Full detail (SUV / truck): $450–750
- Exterior-only detail: $350–450
- Paint correction: from $1,000
- Ceramic coating: from $1,200
- Recurring maintenance washes: custom quote based on schedule and vehicle
Every price is for mobile service: we come to your home or workplace, and travel within our service area is included.
What a Full Detail Costs
A full detail runs $350–650 for a sedan and $450–750 for an SUV or truck. That covers the complete interior and exterior: interior detailing of seats, carpets, leather, and consoles without over-saturation, plus a thorough exterior wash, decontamination, and protection.
Where you land in the range comes down to condition. A car that gets regular care sits near the bottom. Pet hair, embedded stains, years of buildup, or heavily contaminated paint mean more hours, and the price reflects the hours.
Exterior-Only Detailing
If the interior is already in good shape, an exterior-only detail runs $350–450. Same exterior process as the full detail (wash, decontamination, and protection) with the cabin left out of scope. It's the right call for garage-kept cars that mostly need their paint looked after.
Paint Correction Pricing
Paint correction starts at $1,000. It's priced separately from detailing because it's a different job: defects (swirls, scratches, oxidation, water spots) are machine-polished out of the clear coat in stages, and the hours depend on paint condition, vehicle size, and how far you want the finish taken. A one-stage enhancement on a newer car costs less than a multi-stage correction on neglected paint; we quote after seeing the vehicle.
Ceramic Coating Pricing
A professional ceramic coating starts at $1,200. The number includes what actually determines a coating's lifespan: the prep. Paint has to be washed, decontaminated, and corrected before the coating locks in, because a coating seals in whatever sits under it. That prep is most of the labor, which is why a professional install costs what it does, and why bargain coatings over uncorrected paint disappoint.
What Moves the Price
Across every service, the same few things set the final number:
- Condition: hours scale with neglect; nothing moves a price more.
- Size: an SUV has more of everything (glass, paint, carpet).
- Scope: correction stages, coating tiers, add-ons.
- Upkeep: cars on a regular maintenance-wash schedule stay at the bottom of every range that follows.
If you want a number for your specific car, request a quote. We'll ask a few questions and give you a real price, not a teaser.
