How much does a full car detailing package cost in Dubai?

A full car detailing package in Dubai typically costs AED 300–AED 900 for a standard detail, and AED 900–AED 2,500+ for a premium or full paint correction detail. The range is wide because 'full detail' means different things to different operators.

A standard full detail (what most people need annually) should include: full exterior wash and decontamination, clay bar treatment to remove bonded surface contamination, machine polish to remove light swirl marks and restore gloss, sealant or wax protection applied, full interior vacuum and wipe-down, leather conditioning (if applicable), glass cleaning inside and out, and tyre dressing. This takes 4–6 hours and costs AED 400–AED 800 at a reputable studio.

Paint correction (for heavy scratches, swirls, or oxidised paintwork) is a multi-stage machine polishing process and costs AED 1,500–AED 4,000+ depending on the number of stages and the vehicle size.

Mobile detailing vs studio: mobile detailers come to your home or office and are convenient, but studios generally have better equipment, controlled lighting for paint inspection, and more consistent results for polishing work. For a basic interior and exterior refresh, mobile is perfectly adequate. For paint correction or ceramic coating application, a studio with a dust-free bay is strongly preferable.

In Dubai's climate, a quality paint sealant or ceramic coating after detailing is worth the extra cost — UV oxidation and the frequent sandstorms here degrade paint significantly faster than in cooler countries.
