How Much Are High-End Upgrades?
- Paint correction: A one-step gloss enhancement (50–80% improvement) often starts in the mid-hundreds; multi-step correction (80–95%+) typically costs more and takes a full day or longer.
- Ceramic coatings: Professional coatings usually start around the high hundreds and scale with durability and prep level; most shops require at least a one-step polish first.
Are Odor Removal, Engine Bay, and Pet Hair Extra?
Yes—these are labor-intensive. Odor remediation can require steam extraction and an ozone cycle; engine bays require careful masking and controlled cleaning; pet hair removal is priced by severity due to the time needed to get fibers out of fabric.
