Interior Detailing Prices in Toronto
We offer two tiers of interior detailing, designed for different levels of mess and maintenance need.
Standard Interior — From $70 (Sedan)
Our standard interior is built for cars that are reasonably maintained and just need a proper reset. It covers everything a weekly driver accumulates — dust, crumbs, fingerprints, light grime, and interior window film.
- Full vacuum — seats, carpets, trunk, and crevices
- Dashboard and console wipe-down
- Interior window cleaning
- Door panel and crevice clean
Premium Interior — From $140 (Sedan)
The premium interior is our deep-clean service. It’s built for vehicles with kids, pets, food spills, winter salt stains, or anything that a basic vacuum won’t solve. This is also the service we recommend for lease returns — a professional deep clean can save you $200–$500 in damage fees.
- Deep hot-water extraction steam clean throughout
- Seat and carpet shampoo
- Salt and stain removal
- Interior plastics and trim clean and dress
- Everything in the standard interior
GTA-specific note: Ontario road salt gets tracked into cars all winter. Salt stains on carpets need hot-water extraction to remove properly — a standard vacuum won’t touch them. If your car has white residue on the carpet or mats, you need the Premium Interior.
| Service | Sedan | SUV / Minivan | Truck / Full-Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Interior | $70 | $90 | $110 |
| Premium Interior | $140 | $170 | $200 |
Exterior Detailing Prices in Toronto
Our exterior services range from a proper hand wash to a full wash-and-wax with clay bar decontamination and paint sealant.
Standard Exterior — From $60 (Sedan)
A thorough hand wash that a drive-through car wash simply cannot match. We wash, rinse, clean the wheels and tires, clean exterior windows, and apply tire dressing. Perfect for regular upkeep.
Wash & Wax — From $120 (Sedan)
Our most popular exterior package. On top of the standard wash, we clay bar the paint to remove bonded contaminants (road tar, iron particles, industrial fallout), apply a spray paint sealant that lasts up to 6 months, clean door jambs, and finish with a high-gloss tire shine. This is what your car should get twice a year at minimum in Toronto.
| Service | Sedan | SUV / Minivan | Truck / Full-Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Exterior | $60 | $80 | $100 |
| Wash & Wax | $120 | $150 | $180 |

Ceramic Coating Prices in Toronto
Ceramic coating is a long-term paint protection service that bonds to your paint at a molecular level and lasts 3+ years. It’s the best investment you can make in a vehicle you plan to keep — especially in Toronto where road salt destroys unprotected clear coat within 2–3 years.
| Vehicle Type | Starting Price | Protection Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan / Compact | $599 | 3+ years |
| SUV / Crossover | $799 | 3+ years |
| Truck / Full-Size SUV | $999 | 3+ years |
Every ceramic coating includes a full decontamination wash, clay bar treatment, IPA wipe-down, multi-layer coating application, and a free aftercare guide. The full process takes 6–10 hours depending on vehicle size and condition.
Important: If your paint has swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, we recommend paint correction before coating. Ceramic locks in whatever is underneath it permanently. We inspect your paint and advise honestly before booking.
Paint Correction Prices in Toronto
Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, water spots, and oxidation through machine polishing. It’s custom-quoted because every car’s paint condition is different. Here are typical ranges:
| Correction Level | Sedan Range | What It Fixes |
|---|---|---|
| Single-Stage Polish | From $199 | Light swirls, minor hazing, dull paint |
| Two-Stage Correction | From $350 | Moderate swirls, light scratches, water spots |
| Multi-Stage Full Correction | From $550 | Heavy scratches, oxidation, deep marring |
Paint correction is most commonly booked before ceramic coating to ensure the coating locks in a perfect finish rather than imperfections. We assess your paint in person and quote transparently before any work begins.
Headlight Restoration & Engine Bay
Headlight Restoration — $80/Pair
Headlight restoration brings cloudy, yellowed headlights back to clarity through multi-stage wet sanding and a UV-resistant sealant. At $80 per pair it’s one of the best-value services we offer — it’s also a safety upgrade since cloudy headlights reduce your night visibility significantly on the 401 and DVP.
Engine Bay Detailing — $80
Engine bay detailing is recommended before selling a vehicle or after a salt-heavy winter. We degrease, clean, and dress all plastics and hoses — the engine bay looks factory-clean and inspects better. $80 flat for all vehicle sizes.
How Vehicle Size Affects Price
Larger vehicles take more product, more time, and more labour. Here is a general guide to how size affects pricing across all services:
| Vehicle Category | Examples | Premium vs Sedan |
|---|---|---|
| Sedan / Compact / Coupe | Civic, Camry, Mustang, Model 3 | Base price |
| Midsize SUV / Minivan | RAV4, CR-V, Sienna, Model Y | +$20–$40 |
| Full-Size SUV / Pickup | Suburban, F-150, Ram 1500 | +$40–$80 |
What Else Affects the Price
Beyond vehicle size, a few other factors can affect your final quote:
- Paint condition — heavily contaminated or damaged paint takes longer to prepare and may require additional decontamination steps
- Interior condition — heavy pet hair, excessive salt staining, or embedded dirt requires more time and product
- Vehicle age — older vehicles with years of accumulated grime take longer to restore to a high standard
- Location — we serve 9 GTA cities with no travel surcharge within our standard coverage area
We always give you a transparent quote before booking — and if anything changes when we see the vehicle in person, we tell you before we start.
