Car Detailing Cost in Fountain Valley, CA: Interior, Exterior & Full Detail
Car detailing prices range from $129 for an express hand wash up to $1,099+ for paint correction and ceramic coating. Interior reset, steam extraction, leather feed, and two-stage polish each add value based on vehicle condition and size.
Detailing Price Ranges
An express hand wash and interior tidy starts around $129. A full interior detail — steam extraction, leather cleaning and conditioning, every vent and crevice — typically runs $199 to $349 depending on vehicle size and condition.
Exterior decontamination and machine polish packages range from $399 up to $1,099+ for multi-stage paint correction with ceramic coating.
What Affects the Quote
Condition is everything. Pet hair, heavy staining, kids' snacks ground into the third row, or years of automatic-car-wash swirls all add hours. Size matters too — a three-row SUV simply has more surface than a coupe.
Add-ons like engine bay cleaning, headlight restoration, and ozone odor treatment each carry their own line item.
Getting the Most From a Detail
If your paint has swirls or dull spots, a one-stage polish before any coating is the highest-impact upgrade you can buy — it is the difference between a clean car and a car that looks new.
