How to hire a car detailing & wash pro in Ireland
- Distinguish valeting from detailing when comparing quotes
- Confirm motor trade insurance if they drive your car
- Ask about interior damp/mould treatment (a real issue in the Irish climate)
- Get size-based pricing
- For correction, ask for paint-depth readings and portfolio
- Check mobile valeters' water and power needs
Valeting is unregulated in Ireland; the buyer protections are ordinary consumer law, so use registered businesses with VAT receipts for higher-value correction and coating work.

Frequently asked questions
Is mobile detailing as good as a workshop?
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.
How much does car detailing cost in Dublin?
In Dublin, a basic wash-and-vac sits at the low end, a full interior-and-exterior detail costs several times that, and paint correction or ceramic coating is a premium job priced per panel condition and vehicle size.
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.
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.
Is ceramic coating worth the money?
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.
What does a full valet cost in Ireland?
A full valet typically runs €110-280 on a family car, with mini valets at €35-90. Detailing with machine polish starts around €350.
