Frequently Asked Questions

How much does car detailing cost in NZ?

A basic exterior wash and vacuum starts around $120. A full interior and exterior detail for a standard car costs $250–$400. Premium services like paint correction and ceramic coating run $500–$1,500+.

How often should I get my car detailed?

For paint protection, a full detail every 3–6 months is ideal. Ceramic-coated vehicles may only need a maintenance wash and inspection once or twice a year.

What is paint correction?

Paint correction uses machine polishers and compounds to remove surface scratches, swirl marks, and oxidation from the clear coat, restoring a like-new finish.

How long does a full car detail take?

A thorough full detail takes 4–8 hours depending on vehicle size, condition, and services included. Book in advance as detailed jobs require a full day.
