Car Detailing & Wash in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve

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.

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.

Look for detailers in Mercier–Hochelaga-Maisonneuve 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.

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.

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.

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.
