# Mobile car detailing

> Book a detailing Pro who drives to your home or office. Three tiers, transparent pricing, no trip to the shop.

Zulma car detailing is **fully mobile**. You pick a time, and a vetted Pro drives to your home or office with everything they need. No drop-off, no waiting room, no detour.

There are three tiers, from a quick exterior refresh to a deep multi-hour reset. The price you see at booking is the price you pay.

## The three tiers

| Tier              | From (sedan) | Best for                                               | Typical time |
| ----------------- | ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ |
| **Express Wash**  | **\$55**     | A fast exterior refresh between deeper cleans          | 0.4–0.6 hr   |
| **Full Wash**     | **\$150**    | Inside-and-out clean for everyday upkeep               | 1–1.5 hr     |
| **Detail (deep)** | **\$300**    | A complete reset. Interior and exterior, top to bottom | 3–5 hr       |

Prices above are starting prices for a sedan. Your exact quote depends on your vehicle size and any add-ons. You'll see the final number before you confirm.

<Info>
  Express Wash and Full Wash can be booked as **recurring** visits to keep your vehicle in shape year-round. The deep Detail is a one-time service.

## How vehicle size affects price

When you book, you identify your vehicle through the built-in vehicle database, and the price scales to its size:

| Vehicle size | Multiplier      |
| ------------ | --------------- |
| Compact      | \~0.8×          |
| Sedan        | 1.0× (baseline) |
| SUV or truck | \~1.3×          |

So a Full Wash that starts at \$150 for a sedan scales up for an SUV or truck, and down for a compact.

## Add-ons

Tailor any wash with extras. Pick these at booking:

| Add-on                | Price | Notes                                               |
| --------------------- | ----- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| Engine-bay clean      | \$35  |                                                     |
| Headlight restoration | \$45  |                                                     |
| Leather conditioning  | \$25  | Express / Full only. Already included in the Detail |
| Clay-bar treatment    | \$50  |                                                     |

## Condition surcharges

If a vehicle needs extra work to bring it back to clean, a condition surcharge keeps pricing fair to the Pro doing the work. These are flagged transparently:

| Condition      | Surcharge |
| -------------- | --------- |
| Pet hair       | \$25      |
| Mud / off-road | \$20      |
| Smoker / odour | \$30      |
| Heavy stains   | \$30      |

## Good to know

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does the Pro really come to me?">
    Yes. Every detailing job is mobile. You book a time and the Pro drives to your home or office with their own equipment. You don't drive anywhere.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I keep my car on a regular schedule?">
    Express Wash and Full Wash can be booked as recurring visits. The deep Detail is a one-time service. See [Recurring bookings](/booking/recurring) for how repeating visits work.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How is the exact price calculated?">
    Your tier sets the starting price, your vehicle size scales it, and any add-ons or condition surcharges are added on top. The live calculator at [app.zulma.ca](https://app.zulma.ca) shows the all-in total before you confirm. For the full pricing picture across services, see [Pricing overview](/services/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What's the difference between Full Wash and the Detail?">
    A Full Wash is a thorough inside-and-out clean for everyday upkeep, typically 1–1.5 hours. The Detail is a deep, multi-hour reset (3–5 hours). It goes much further inside and out, and leather conditioning is included.
