How to hire a car detailing & wash pro in Ireland

  1. Distinguish valeting from detailing when comparing quotes
  2. Confirm motor trade insurance if they drive your car
  3. Ask about interior damp/mould treatment (a real issue in the Irish climate)
  4. Get size-based pricing
  5. For correction, ask for paint-depth readings and portfolio
  6. 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

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.

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.

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 long does a full detail take?

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.

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.
