Mobile Car Detailing in Oshawa

Mobile auto detailing in Oshawa carries a flat $99 travel and fuel fee, and we would rather you read that on the page than hear it on a quote call — because it should change how you book. At $99 of travel, a $159 Express Exterior is a poor trade. A $499 Executive Full Detail, a paint correction or a ceramic coating is a good one. The fee is identical either way, so it is worth spending on the job that justifies the trip.

Paint Correction in Oshawa

Paint correction is a multi-stage machine polishing process that removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation from the clear coat, restoring real depth instead of hiding damage under a wax that washes off in a month. It is also the service most worth having done at your own address, because the vehicle does not move for most of a day.

On sale until 31 October 2026: Machine Polish $999, 1-Step Paint Correction $1,449 $1,199, 2-Step Paint Correction $1,749 $1,399. A 1-Step is a single polishing stage that removes 60–70% of the defects and includes a free Executive Exterior detail. A 2-Step compounds first, then polishes, and removes 85–95%. Both are typically a half-day to full-day appointment depending on the state of the paint, and both take a 50% deposit.

Machine Polish at $999 is the lighter option and honest about its limits: single-stage, gloss enhancement and light swirl reduction, best on a newer vehicle with minimal wear. If your paint carries real scratches or swirl marks it will not remove them, and a 1-Step or 2-Step is the right call instead. On any of the three, the price can move up or down once the technician has inspected the paint — you hear about it before work starts, never on the invoice. Our paint correction page sets out what each stage actually takes out.

Ceramic Coating in Oshawa

A ceramic coating is a long-term chemical bond to the paint — years of UV resistance, chemical resistance and hydrophobic behaviour, in a different league from any spray sealant. On sale until 31 October 2026: 3-year $1,799 $1,499, 5-year $1,999 $1,699, 8-year $2,299 $1,899. Longer years mean a thicker, more durable coating layer, not a different product.

Every tier includes a free Executive Exterior detail, a $249 package on its own, plus decontamination, clay bar prep and a 1-step paint correction and polish. That correction is built into the price rather than sold beside it for a reason: coating over uncorrected paint locks the swirls in for the life of the coating. If the vehicle needs more than a 1-step, the technician inspects on site, tells you, and the price may rise from there. It is a full-day appointment plus cure time, which is the practical argument for having it done at home. More on the ceramic coating page.

The $99 Oshawa Travel & Fuel Fee, Stated Plainly

Ninety-nine dollars, flat, on every Oshawa address. It does not change between downtown, the north end and the lakeside streets, it does not scale with the job, and it is collected up front with your deposit rather than added when we arrive. Whitby, Bowmanville and the rest of Clarington sit in the same $99 band; Ajax and Pickering are $49; Toronto and Scarborough have no distance charge at all.

Search car detailing near me from an Oshawa postal code and the $99 is precisely the figure the map listings leave out. A mobile detailer in Oshawa who quotes travel only after hearing where you live is working the number out from your address rather than from the distance.

If there are two vehicles at the same address, ask before you book rather than after — call or text 647-453-1299 and we will tell you exactly what the visit costs.

Interior and Exterior Car Detailing in Oshawa

Not everything needs a polisher. Exterior detailing in Oshawa starts at $159 with the Express Exterior — foam soak, full hand wash, deep wheel and wheel-well cleanse with all iron and brake dust removed, tire dressing, door jambs — and interior car detailing in Oshawa at $199 with the Express Interior: deep vacuum, air blow-out of the tight spots, full cockpit restoration, all seats, glass, infotainment, pedals and mats. If you are comparing a mobile car wash and detailing in Oshawa against the tunnel on the way home, the difference lives in the wheel wells, the jambs and the emblems.

The Executive tier is the restoration version of both: $249 exterior with decontamination, clay bar, water spot removal, trim dressing and a ceramic sealant; $399 interior with hot-steam cleaning, fabric and carpet shampoo with extraction, trim protection and salt stain removal. A full car detail in Oshawa — both halves, one visit — is $299 Express or $499 Executive. Above that, The Ultimate Package at $899 is a full-day appointment with the headliner steamed and extracted, the seats lifted for a real clean underneath, and every add-on except biohazard removal included — and Ultimate + Paint Polish & Buff at $1,399 adds a machine polish for gloss on top of it. Larger SUVs, minivans and trucks carry a size surcharge, shown at checkout before you pay.

Full pricing, every add-on and exactly what is included in each package is published on our Services page, and the appointment itself is walked through stage by stage on our auto detailing page. Auto detailing in Oshawa is priced exactly as it is anywhere else we go — the package price is the package price — and every one of our detailing services in Oshawa carries the same flat $99 travel and fuel fee on top.

What We Need From the Address

Two things come from the address rather than the van: an outdoor water tap and a working electrical outlet, each within about 75 feet of where the vehicle is parked. You confirm both when you book, so nobody discovers a problem on the day. Headlight restoration is the one service that needs neither — $180 for one lens, $240 for both, $400 for headlights and tail lights together.

Everything else arrives with us: hot extractors, steamers, dual-action orbital polishers, foam equipment, and the pads, towels and chemistry to go with them. It is the same equipment a fixed detailing bay runs, in the back of a van.

Boat and RV Detailing in Oshawa

Oshawa sits on Lake Ontario, and boat detailing in Oshawa is booked the same way it is anywhere along that shoreline — quoted on size and condition rather than read off a table. Boat detailing starts at $300 for interior or exterior and $550 for a full interior and exterior detail, with paint correction and ceramic coating packages from $1,599. Exact pricing depends on the size and condition of the boat, so call, text or email for a quote rather than guessing off a table. We detail the cockpit, seating areas, bow, gunwale, hull, rail, cleats, stern, transom, chines, freeboard, steering console, windshield and floors; washrooms, kitchenettes and cabins are not included. All exterior work, correction and coating is performed on land, never docked or in the water — outboard motor and propeller detailing is the one exception and does require the boat to be docked.

RV detailing is booked online by the foot with a 20-foot minimum on every tier: $26/ft for an Express Exterior ($520 minimum), $38/ft for Executive Detail & Protect ($760), $80/ft for Signature Polish & Protect ($1,600) and $190/ft for a Professional Ceramic Coating ($3,800). Shorter rigs are welcome and are simply billed as 20 feet, because a setup, a ladder and a full walkaround cost the same whatever the length. RV work is exterior only. RV headlight restoration is $250 for one light, $400 for both and $650 for every light on the rig — those lenses are larger, higher up and usually far more weathered than a car's.
