How Much Does Car Cleaning Cost on the Central Coast in 2026?

One of the first things people ask before booking is simple: how much does it actually cost? Fair question — and one a lot of car cleaning services on the Central Coast dodge with "quote on inspection." I don't do that.

Set prices, no surprises

• $45 Exterior Clean (45 min), any car — exterior hand wash with Suds 'n' Wax, rims, wheels & tyres, exterior windows

• $80 Full Clean (1hr 15), $100 for 7-seaters, 4WDs and utes — everything above, plus interior vacuum (carpets, mats, under seats, boot), interior wipe-down (dash, steering wheel, console), exterior hand wash with Suds 'n' Wax

• $120 Premium Clean (1hr 45), $140 for 7-seaters, 4WDs and utes — everything in the Full Clean, plus Terminator wheel degreaser, tyre shine and Magic Plastiq on the door sills, trims and jambs

Exterior windows come up streak-free on all three.

Why set prices matter

A lot of mobile detailers price on condition or "how dirty" your car is — which means you don't actually know what you're paying until they've seen it. Mine's all on the list before you book. The outside is $45 for any car, and the full and premium are $20 more on 7-seaters, 4WDs and utes because the inside of a big car takes me a fair bit longer. The price you book is the price you pay.

Which tier is worth it?

For most people, the Full Clean is the sweet spot — it covers everything that actually matters day to day, inside and out. If you're getting ready to sell or just want that extra bit of finish, the Premium adds Terminator wheel degreaser, tyre shine and Magic Plastiq on the door sills, trims and jambs on top.
