How to hire a car detailing & wash pro in Canada
- Book interior salt-stain removal in spring — the classic Canadian job

- Ask about undercarriage wash and rustproofing referrals
- Check insurance for mobile visits
- Get size-based pricing (sedan vs SUV/truck)
- For coatings, ask about winter durability claims in writing
Detailing is unlicensed in Canada; seasonal reality (road salt, winter tires swaps) drives demand peaks in spring, and municipalities may restrict driveway wash runoff.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a car wash, a valet and a detail?
A wash is exterior cleaning only. A valet (or 'groom') adds interior vacuuming, wipe-downs and windows. A detail goes deeper — clay bar, machine polishing, engine bay, and often paint protection — and takes hours rather than minutes.
What does pet hair or smoke odour removal cost?
Both are common surcharges — typically 15-40% on top of an interior detail. Ozone or enzyme treatment for smoke can be a standalone service; heavy pet hair is often quoted after inspection.
How do I find a good detailer near me in Ajax?
Look for detailers in Ajax whose portfolio shows before/after paint correction photos of cars like yours, and check reviews mention punctuality and interior results — those two predict overall quality well.
Can detailing remove scratches and swirl marks?
Machine polishing removes most swirl marks and light scratches that haven't broken through the clear coat. Deep scratches that catch your fingernail need touch-up paint or a body shop.
How much extra do SUVs and vans cost to detail?
Most detailers price by size: expect a 20-50% premium over a sedan for large SUVs, 7-seaters and vans, simply because there's more surface area and interior to cover.
How much is detailing in Canada?
Full details on a sedan typically run $200-475, with salt-stain extraction and pet hair as common surcharges. Spring slots book out weeks ahead in snowy provinces.
