Car Detailing & Wash in Sha Tin Wai

A full interior and exterior detail typically takes 3-6 hours. Paint correction adds a day, and multi-stage correction plus ceramic coating can take 2-3 days with curing time.

For washes, valets and interior work, yes — mobile units carry water and power. Machine polishing and ceramic coatings are better done indoors where lighting, dust and temperature are controlled.

It buys easier washing and gloss retention for 2-5 years, not invincibility. It only makes sense on paint that's been properly corrected first — a coating over swirl marks locks the damage in.

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.

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.

Look for detailers in Sha Tin Wai 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.

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.

Basic washes run HK$300-800 at car-beauty shops, full details HK$1,200-3,500, and correction-plus-ceramic packages commonly HK$4,000-12,000 depending on vehicle size and coating brand.
