If you've searched "car detailing near me" in Brisbane, you've probably noticed the same frustrating thing we did before starting HaDa Detailing: almost nobody publishes real prices. It's all "contact us for a quote," which leaves you guessing whether a service is $150 or $1,500.
We do things differently — every price on our site is published upfront. But we also get asked constantly what a fair price actually looks like across Brisbane, so here's a straight breakdown for 2026.
Brisbane car detailing prices at a glance
| Service | What's included | Typical Brisbane price |
|---|---|---|
| Express wash | Quick exterior wash, wheels, tyre dressing | $130+ |
| Exterior detail | Full hand wash, decontamination, wheels, glass, tyres | $140+ |
| Interior detail | Vacuum, shampoo, dash & trim clean, glass | $179+ |
| Full detail (interior + exterior) | Combines the above, most popular option | $268+ |
| Paint correction (single-stage) | Machine polish, removes light swirls & scratches | $400–$600 |
| Paint correction (2-stage) | Heavier compounding + fine polish for deeper defects | $600–$900+ |
| Ceramic coating (3-year) | 1-stage correction + GYEON Q2 MOHS coating | $800+ |
| Ceramic coating (5-year) | Correction + GTECHNIQ Crystal Serum Light | $950+ |
These are HaDa Detailing's actual published rates — not industry averages pulled from a survey. Vehicle size and paint condition can move the price up or down slightly, but this is what you should expect to pay for genuine, professional work in Brisbane in 2026.
If a quote comes in dramatically below these numbers — think $80 "full details" — ask exactly what's included. It's almost always a wash, not a detail, with no decontamination, no interior deep clean, and no paint work.
What actually changes the price?
- Vehicle size — a hatchback takes less time than a dual-cab ute or large SUV
- Paint condition — heavy swirl marks or oxidation mean more correction time
- Interior condition — pet hair, stains, and odours add labour
- Mobile vs in-shop — mobile detailing near you (at your home or office) is genuinely convenient, and most Brisbane mobile detailers, including us, don't charge extra for it within their service area

Is it worth paying more for a proper detail?
Yes, and here's the maths. A $268 full detail that's done properly — decontamination wash, interior deep clean, protective sealant — will keep your car looking good for 6–8 weeks. A rushed $80 "wash and vac" often needs redoing within 2–3 weeks, because corners get cut on prep work that you can't see but absolutely notice the results of.
Our verdict
Budget $130–$268 for a one-off wash or full detail depending on what your car needs, $400–$900 for paint correction if your clear coat has visible defects, and $800+ once for ceramic coating if you want to stop paying for protection every few months. Always ask for a fixed price upfront — if a Brisbane detailer won't give you one, that's a red flag.
