Car Detailing Staffordshire Costs
The cars I detail come in various shapes and sizes. Have different levels of scratching, different paint hardness, different levels of cleanliness, are made from different materials (steel, aluminium, plastics, GRP). Some have been polished at least once before, making it difficult and more time consuming to polish again. Some have fabric seats, some are leather. Some have hard wearing piled carpets, some have fabric. Therefore, I do not offer menu pricing. As a bespoke, professional detailer, I offer a service which matches your exact requirements and budget. In the first instance you can call me on 07970 222591, then book an appointment for the studio in Fenton, or I can visit your home and undertake a free vehicle appraisal. Once your vehicle has been appraised, and the work involved has been agreed, an estimate is normally emailed. The estimate will detail all works and the level of protection required.
I currently charge £245 per 7-hour full day, and £35 per hour thereafter. These charges include all overheads ( insurances, heating, electricity, rent etc) and basic cleaning materials supplied by Auto smart, but do not include other specialist materials, the use of infra-red heat lights, paints and coatings, which are charged as an additional cost. My details vary in cost, from as little as £250 for a day’s work, to thousands of pounds if you are looking to have a vehicle fully corrected with CarPro Cquartz protection.
Loan car available. To be fully insured by the driver on their own policy. Customers will need to have, or will need to arrange comprehensive cover. Then provide evidence in advance of any car loan. I also offer a free delivery and collection service within a 20-mile radius of Fenton or Uttoxeter, for cars with a market value of £150k or less.

Maintenance Cleans
Maintenance decontaminations usually £200 depending on the vehicle size and level of cleanliness. They are usually booked 6-12 months after your car has been detailed. This allows me to give a thorough exterior decontamination to remove debris stuck to paintwork, glass, and wheels. Restoring the post detail finish, maybe topped up with a CarPro soft silica sealant or a fresh coat of wax.
