Car Cleaning in Terrigal — $45, $80 or $120

Terrigal cars cop it. Park anywhere near the beach for an afternoon and you'll come back to salt sitting on the paint and half the sand dune through your carpet. It doesn't rinse off on its own — it just stays there and works away at the clear coat.

I clean cars out of my place at Bateau Bay, straight up the Central Coast Highway from you, about a 15-minute drive. It's drop-off only. You bring the car to me, I do the work, you pick it up looking a lot better than it went in. I don't do call-outs.

I know that end of the coast properly — I'm out on the bike trails through the bush around there most weeks, and I've got family and mates living down that way. It's not a suburb I've put on a page because it looked good in Google.

Three prices and that's the lot. $45 is the outside — wash and wax, wheels and tyres, exterior windows, towel dried, about 45 minutes. $80 is the full one, inside and out, about an hour and a quarter, and it's what most people book. $120 is the Premium: everything in the $80 plus the Terminator degreaser through the wheels, tyre shine and Magic Plastiq, about an hour and three quarters.

The $45 outside is the same for any car. A big 4WD, a ute or a 7-seater takes me a fair bit longer inside, so the full and premium are $100 and $140 on those — no hidden costs. And if a car's had a rough life I'll tell you straight what I can and can't get out of it rather than promise you a miracle.

One thing worth knowing before you book: I need about 12 hours' notice, so I can't do same-day.
