Where is Lawson's Car Cleaning located?
I'm based in Bateau Bay, NSW, running a drop-off only studio (no mobile or at-home service). It's a convenient spot if you're searching for a car wash near me around Bateau Bay, Long Jetty or the wider Central Coast. All bookings are by appointment only.

Do you offer mobile car cleaning or call-outs?
No — I don't do mobile cleans or call-outs, and I don't travel out to customers. Every car is done at my drop-off spot in Bateau Bay on the Central Coast. Working from the one place means I've got control over the environment, the products and the equipment, and that's a big part of how I keep the price flat: $45, $80 or $120 for every car, whatever you drive. You book a time online, drop the car to me, and pick it up clean.

What is included in your $80 car clean?
Here's exactly how an $80 Full Clean goes, in order. Mats come out, every seat gets moved forward and the whole inside gets vacuumed, right under the seats and into the crevices. The mats get vacuumed separately outside, the dash, steering wheel, console and door trims get a microfibre wipe to lift the dust, then the mats go back in. Once the inside's done I'll text you a before and after of it and let you know how it's tracking. The outside starts with two full rinses around the car before any soap touches the paint, then a shampoo hand wash (no wax), the wheels and tyres, exterior windows streak-free, and a dry-off with a proper drying towel. Then you'll get a text that it's ready to grab. The $120 Premium Clean does all of that plus a wax-boosted wash, Terminator degreaser on the wheels, tyre shine, Magic Plastiq on the door sills and door trims, and the door jambs wiped down. The $45 Exterior Clean is the outside only. Same flat price whatever you drive.

How long does a standard cleaning session take?
The $45 Exterior Clean takes about 45 minutes, the $80 Full Clean about 1 hour 15, and the $120 Premium Clean about 1 hour 45. On the $80 and $120 I'll text you a before and after of the inside halfway through, then text you again when your car's ready to pick up.

Do I need to book an appointment in advance?
Yes. I work strictly by appointment so I can give each car the time and attention it deserves. Booking ahead also helps you secure a time that suits you, especially if you're coming from nearby suburbs like Long Jetty or Shelly Beach.

Do you clean larger vehicles like SUVs or 4x4s?
Yes, I clean most passenger vehicles, including hatchbacks, sedans, SUVs and 4x4s. If you're unsure whether your vehicle is suitable for my cleans — $45 exterior only, $80 full inside and out, or $120 premium — get in touch and I'll let you know what to expect and whether any extra time may be needed. The price never changes — $45, $80 and $120 are flat for every vehicle, whatever turns up.
