Car Detailing Package Configurator
Pick a vehicle size, a package and optional extras to see an illustrative price, an estimated duration and exactly what is included. A sample booking step shows how a detailer could collect a slot — nothing is submitted.

Understanding the numbers
Valeting vs detailing: what's the difference?
A valet is a thorough clean: wash, dry, vacuum, glass and a tidy interior. Detailing goes further — decontaminating the paint with iron fallout remover and a clay bar, correcting swirls and scratches with a machine polish, and protecting the finish with a sealant or ceramic coating. The more correction and protection involved, the longer the job and the higher the price.
Why vehicle size changes the price
Larger vehicles simply have more paint, glass and interior to work on. That is why most detailers price by size band — hatchback, saloon or estate, SUV, van — rather than by make. In this configurator, size scales the package price more than it scales the time, because preparation and set-up stay similar regardless of size.
Choosing the right package
A maintenance wash suits a car that is already in good condition. A mid-level package with decontamination and a sealant is a good seasonal reset. Machine polishing and ceramic protection make sense when the paint has visible swirls or when you want longer-lasting protection. Add-ons like pet hair removal or seat shampoo are priced separately because they depend entirely on the car's condition.
Every price here is a sample value chosen to demonstrate how a configurator works. Real detailers price on local rates, products and the condition of the paint, and the booking step on this page is a simulation that sends nothing.
How it works
The logic, in plain English
- 1
Each package has an example base price and duration for a small car.
- 2
Larger vehicles apply a size multiplier to price and a smaller one to time.
- 3
Add-ons carry their own example price and time.
- 4
The booking preview is a simulation — no booking is created or sent.

Questions
Are these market prices?+
No. They are sample values chosen to demonstrate the configurator. Real prices vary by region, paint condition and products used.
Can I book from here?+
No. This is a showcase tool. The booking step is a preview of how a flow could look.
How long does a full detail take?+
It depends on size, condition and the level of correction. In this configurator, durations range from about an hour for a maintenance wash to a full working day for polishing and ceramic protection.
Is ceramic coating worth adding?+
Ceramic products offer longer-lasting protection than waxes or spray sealants, which suits cars that are kept for several years. It is worth it mainly when the paint has been decontaminated and corrected first.
