Florida Is Brutal on Cars. Your Driveway Is the Fix.
Start with the sun. The UV index here runs high nearly year round, and it cooks clear coat until the finish chalks over and dulls out. A dark hood in an August parking lot can pass 180 degrees. Paint was never built for that.
And the sun has accomplices. Park within a few miles of the coast and salt air settles on your car every single night, working into any chip or thin spot it can find. Love bugs swarm in May and again in September, and their remains turn acidic as they bake, etching marks into clear coat in about 48 hours. Most summer afternoons deliver a 3pm downpour followed by full sun, which dries mineral deposits straight into the finish as water spots. Even the cabin isn't safe. Shut a damp car up tight in July heat and mold can get going within days. Detailers down here see it every single week.
So regular detailing in Florida is maintenance, not vanity. But you shouldn't have to burn a Saturday in a shop lobby to keep up. The pros we refer run mobile rigs with water and power on board, which means the whole operation comes to you. You stay on the couch or the conference call while the work happens outside your window. It typically costs the same as a shop or a little less, since nobody's paying rent on a waiting room. And when the job wraps, you inspect the car ten feet from your front door instead of across town in a strip mall.

The full works, inside and out, done at your home or office. Runs $120 to $350 by vehicle size. The rig brings its own water and power, so even a condo garage can work.
How mobile service worksInterior Detailing
Extraction shampoo pulls years out of the carpet, and an ozone treatment kills odors that survived everything else. Kid messes and pet hair are daily work here. Most jobs land between $100 and $250.
What a deep interior coversExterior Detailing
A proper hand wash at the low end, clay bar and machine polish at the top. It's the cure for salt film and love bug scars. Packages run $80 to $300.
Exterior packages, explainedCeramic Coating
A real SiO2 layer gives the sun something to chew on besides your clear coat. Done right, with proper prep, expect $600 to $1,500. Ignore anyone promising you'll never wash again.
Ceramic without the hypeBoat Detailing
Dockside service for the other thing Florida sun destroys. Chalky gelcoat gets compounded back to a real shine, $15 to $45 per foot based on condition. The boat never leaves the slip.
Marine detailing at your slipHeadlight Restoration
UV haze yellows your lenses and steals your night vision. A pro restoration runs $60 to $120 a pair and takes about an hour, against $250 or more to replace one housing.

What Detailing Really Costs in Florida
"Full detail" means five different things depending on who's selling it. These are the honest ranges quoted through our line right now, and what pushes a job toward the top of each one.
| Service | Typical range | What moves the price |
|---|---|---|
| Full detail, sedan | $120 to $180 | Condition, pet hair level |
| Full detail, SUV or truck | $150 to $250 | Third-row seats, overall size |
| Interior detail only | $100 to $250 | Stains, odor treatment |
| Exterior detail only | $80 to $300 | Wash only vs clay and polish |
| Ceramic coating | $600 to $1,500 | Prep hours, paint correction |
| Boat detailing | $15 to $45 per foot | Oxidation level, dock access |
| Headlight restoration | $60 to $120 per pair | Haze depth, sealant type |
One warning from people who hear the aftermath weekly: that $40 "full detail" ad on Facebook is either a rushed wash with a quick vacuum pass, or a teaser that turns into a much bigger number once the rig is parked in your driveway. A real detail takes hours of skilled labor. Nobody profitable sells hours for $40. For the complete breakdown, package by package, read our guide to car detailing prices in Florida. Thinking bigger? Here's our honest take on whether ceramic coating is worth it in this climate.

Detailing Questions, Answered Straight
Do you really come to me? What do I need to provide?
Yes, really. The pros in our network run self-contained rigs with a water tank and a generator on board, so most jobs need nothing from you but a legal parking spot and about six feet of room around the vehicle. Driveways are easy. Office lots and condo garages usually work too, though some buildings want a certificate of insurance first, and the detailer can send that ahead. If your spot has quirks, say so on the call. A pro who knows there's no hose bib nearby just plans around it.
How much does a full detail cost?
For a sedan, a genuine full detail (inside and out) runs $120 to $180 across most of Florida. Trucks and SUVs land between $150 and $250, since there's simply more surface to cover. Condition matters as much as size does. A commuter that gets washed monthly sits at the low end. A pet-hair situation with years of baked-in grime pushes toward the top, and sometimes past it. You'll hear a range on the phone based on what you drive and what shape it's in, before anything gets booked.
How long does a mobile detail take?
Plan on 2 to 4 hours for a full detail. An exterior wash and wax can wrap in about 90 minutes, while an interior that survived a toddler or a fishing season can stretch past five hours. Ceramic coating is the outlier, since prep and cure time turn it into a one or two day job. The nice part of mobile service is that the clock runs at your place. You're inside getting things done, not camped in a lobby chair flipping through a 2019 magazine.
Can my boat be detailed at the dock?
Yes, dockside is how most boats get done in Florida. The detailer works from the finger pier or a slip-side platform, and the boat never leaves the water. Pricing runs per foot, roughly $15 to $45 depending on condition. A salt rinse and wax on a well-kept 24-footer sits near the bottom of that range. Heavy oxidation that needs compounding pushes toward the top. One heads-up: some marinas ask contractors for proof of insurance before opening the gate, and the pros we refer deal with that paperwork all the time.
Is Detail Gods one company?
No, and we'd rather tell you straight than pretend. Detail Gods FL is a free referral service. When you call, we match you with an independent detailer covering your part of Florida, one who carries insurance and runs a proper mobile rig. That pro does the work and sets the final price. We may be paid by the partners we refer, which is why calling costs you nothing. What you get out of it is one number instead of six open tabs, and a detailer who actually picks up the phone.
