Mobile Detailing in Pickering

Pickering carries a flat $49 travel and fuel fee — the same at a Bay Ridges townhouse as at a farmhouse north of the 407 — added to your package price at checkout and collected up front with the deposit. It is the first thing anyone asks a mobile detailer in Pickering and the last thing most of them publish, so it is at the top of this page instead of buried in a quote call.

Boat Detailing in Pickering

Frenchman’s Bay is a natural harbour on the Pickering waterfront, and a boat that lives on Lake Ontario collects things a car never does: hard water spotting along the rail, oxidised gelcoat on the freeboard, and a cockpit that has been damp since May. It is a different job from a car detail and it is priced as one.

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.

The scheduling point matters more here than anywhere else we work: book the detail around your haul-out, not before it. Once the boat is on the hard we can do the full exterior, the correction and the coating in one visit.

The Pickering Travel & Fuel Fee: $49

A flat $49 covers every Pickering address, from the lakeshore to the top of Brock Road. Mobile auto detailing in Pickering is priced the same whether the address is a townhouse or a farm: the fee does not move with the size of the job, the number of add-ons, or how far north you sit, and it is collected with your deposit rather than added on the day.

If you have searched car detailing near me from a Pickering postal code, the travel charge is the line almost none of the results print. Here it is once: $49.

Pickering and Ajax share that $49 band. From Whitby eastward — Oshawa, Bowmanville and the rest of Clarington — the fee is $99. Toronto and Scarborough sit inside the free GTA zone with no distance charge at all.

Exterior Detailing and Ceramic Coating in Pickering

Exterior detailing in Pickering starts at $159 for the Express Exterior: foam soak and rinse, premium hand-wash shampoo over the whole vehicle, emblems, handles, mirrors and running boards detailed, a deep wheel and wheel-well cleanse with every trace of iron and brake dust removed, tire dressing with UV protection, and door jambs wiped down. Executive Exterior is $249 and adds paint decontamination, a clay bar treatment, water spot removal, trim dressing, bug and tree sap removal, and a ceramic sealant. If you have been weighing a mobile car wash and detailing in Pickering against the tunnel on the way home, the Express Exterior is where the difference shows: the emblems, grooves, jambs and wheel wells a machine physically cannot reach are all done by hand.

A ceramic coating is a different order of thing from that sealant — a long-term chemical bond measured in years rather than a top layer applied during the detail. On sale until 31 October 2026: 3-year $1,799 $1,499, 5-year $1,999 $1,699, 8-year $2,299 $1,899. Each tier includes a free Executive Exterior detail (a $249 package on its own) plus a 1-step paint correction and polish, so the coating locks in corrected paint rather than sealing existing swirls under it. If the vehicle needs more than a 1-step, the technician inspects on site, tells you, and the price may go up from there. There is a fuller explanation on our ceramic coating page.

Interior Car Detailing in Pickering, and the Full Detail

Interior car detailing in Pickering starts at $199 with the Express Interior — deep vacuum, full air blow-out of the tight spots, cockpit restoration, all seats cleansed and wiped down, crystal-clear glass, infotainment and cupholders deep cleaned, doors, storage compartments and pedals restored, rubber mats dressed and protected. Executive Interior is $399, adding hot-steam seat and mat cleansing, fabric and carpet shampoo with extraction, interior vinyl and trim protection, and salt stain removal.

Taken together the same day, a full car detail in Pickering is $299 Express or $499 Executive. The Ultimate Package is $899 — a full-day appointment with the headliner steamed and extracted, the seats lifted for a proper clean underneath, and every add-on except biohazard removal included. Ultimate + Paint Polish & Buff is $1,399, which adds a full machine polish for gloss; it will not remove scratches or swirls, and if that is what you are after, a paint correction is the honest answer instead. 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 Pickering 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 Pickering carries the same flat $49 travel and fuel fee on top.

Paint Correction in Pickering

Paint correction removes clear-coat defects by machine polishing rather than masking them with wax. 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. Machine Polish is a single-stage gloss enhancement best suited to a newer vehicle with minimal wear — it will not remove real scratches or swirls, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. A 1-Step removes 60–70% of defects and a 2-Step, which compounds before it polishes, removes 85–95%. All three include a free exterior detail. See the paint correction page for what each stage can and cannot do.

RV Detailing in Pickering

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, the same price on its own or added to a detail. Camper vans built on a van chassis are quoted at car rates.

What the Address Needs

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is the travel fee to Pickering?

A flat $49 on every Pickering address, added to the package price at checkout and collected up front with your deposit. It does not change with the neighbourhood or the size of the job.

Do you detail boats in Pickering?

Yes — boat detailing starts at $300 for interior or exterior and $550 for both, and boat paint correction with ceramic coating starts at $1,599, quoted on size and condition. All exterior work, correction and coating is done on land, never docked or in the water.

Can you come to a rural address in north Pickering?

Yes, at the same $49 fee — Claremont, Greenwood and Brougham are priced identically to the lakeshore, provided there is an outdoor tap and a working electrical outlet within about 75 feet of the vehicle.

How long does a full car detail take?

An Express Full Detail runs about 2.5 to 4 hours and an Executive Full Detail up to 4, depending on add-ons. The Ultimate Package is a full-day appointment.

What is the difference between the ceramic sealant in the Executive Exterior and a ceramic coating?

The sealant included in the $249 Executive Exterior is a protective top layer applied during the detail; a ceramic coating is a long-term chemical bond measured in years, starting at $1,499 for three years and including a 1-step paint correction so it bonds to corrected paint.

All of it at the same fee — Bay Ridges and the Frenchman's Bay waterfront, West Shore, Amberlea, Rougemount, Duffin Heights, and the rural north around Claremont, Greenwood and Brougham.
