French Riviera detailing guide

This guide helps you pick a job on the French Riviera: mobile wash, interior, clay, polish or ceramic. Right time-to-budget — no 3-step correction if a Protection wash is enough.

Area: Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Monaco, Sanremo, Genoa — French Riviera and Liguria.

Wash (€90–€150)

At your place. Essential €90: body + wheels. Protection €150 if you want it to last (decon + wax).

Interior (€150–€180)

Seats, mats, steam, plastics. Add hair, ozone or leather if the cabin is heavy.

Combined (€180–€400)

Complex or full detail. Best first visit if the car has been neglected.

Polish & ceramic (€690–€990)

After wash and decon. 1–3 steps by defect. A light polish can be done at your place; ceramic needs an enclosed garage. Ceramic does not replace a monthly wash.

Frequently asked questions

Wash or detail?

Wash = upkeep. Detail = decon, deep interior, sometimes polish. Ceramic only after prepared paint.

When is the €990 ceramic worth it?

Marked paint, holograms, selling the car, or 4–5 year protection. Otherwise €690 or €850 is often enough.
