Eight car grooming shops, ceramic coating specialists and mobile detailers with their prices read off their own websites on 17 September 2026. A 9H coating runs from $250 to over $1,000 for the same small car, and the gap is mostly about what prep work is included.
Car grooming prices in Singapore are hard to compare because every shop bundles different prep work into its coating.
> Quick view: best value is Gleam Auto's 9H coating at $338; cheapest shop coating is Lambency's $250 CC ONE. Most small cars pay $250-$700, and the cheapest walk-in wash is about $10 at Carpow.
Gleam Auto's FY2026 catalogue is the most complete price list of any detailer here, and its coatings undercut shops charging far more for similar grades. The entry **System X Crystal 9H coating is $338 for a small or medium car and $368 for a large one**, with a 1-year warranty and one free Classic Spa. **System X Diamond** (2-year warranty) is $398/$458, **10H Nano Graphene** (3-year) is $498/$558, and the flagship **IGL Kenzo Graphene** (4-year warranty plus three spas) is $888/$988. Walk-in washes start at **$28** (Classic Spa, $32 for a large car), the Premium Spa is $65/$70, and interior details run $128, $168 and $258 by tier (+$20 for 7-seaters). A 4-in-1 pest fumigation with wash is $78. The homepage still says coating is "from $298", but the catalogue's lowest car price is $338, so budget for that. **Where:** 50 Serangoon North Ave 4, #01-10/11 First Centre, S555856. **Hours:** Tuesday to Sunday from 9am (its site says 8pm in one place and 9pm in another), closed Mondays and public holidays. WhatsApp +65 9644 0051.

Revol has been running since 2003 and is the pick if you want one bill that covers the prep work other shops charge extra for. **Every coating tier includes paint correction, interior grooming, engine cleaning, leather conditioning, wheel polishing, door shut detailing and exhaust polishing.** Prices by size (small/medium, large, MPV/SUV, luxury): **Glass Coating 6H $588 / $688 / $788 / $788** with a 36-month warranty; **ZeTough Ceramic 9H $688 / $788 / $888 / $888**, also 36 months and extendable to 5 years on conditions; **Titanium $888 / $988 / $1,088 / $1,088** with a 60-month warranty extendable to 7 years. Without a coating, its Exquisite Polish & Interior Grooming (about 4 hours) is $430, $480 or $530. Coated cars get a **$10 wash with vacuum** in the evenings (6pm to 8pm, to 7:45pm Sundays) while their protection programme is active. **Where:** 10 Ang Mo Kio Industrial Park 2A, #01-12 AMK AutoPoint, S568047 (daily 8:30am-6:30pm) and Blk 42 Toh Guan Road East, #01-75 Enterprise Hub, S608583 (same hours, closed Tuesdays). Both close on public holidays. WhatsApp +65 9322 2313 (AMK) or +65 9322 9331 (Toh Guan).

Lambency is a SONAX-authorised detailer, and its **Basic CC ONE package is $250 for a small car, $300 medium, $350 large and $400 for XL or exotic cars**. That price is not a bare coating: it lists a snow foam wash, clay bar, 1-stage paint correction, interior vacuum, leather and plastic conditioning, sanitisation, a windscreen coating (1 layer), engine bay detailing and rims coating. Lambency has been advertising this package as a "Special Promo" (its own MyCarForum listing, 14 Sep), but those are the same numbers as its normal price list, so there is no extra discount to wait for. Step up to **Advance CC PRO at $600-$1,000** or **Signature CC EVO at $1,000-$1,300**. Interior detailing is $128 (Basic, 2-3 hours), $288 (Advance) or $488 (Signature), a Basic Car Spa starts at $70, headlight restoration from $280, and pick-up and drop-off costs $60 one way. **Where:** 53 Ubi Ave 1, #01-31 Paya Ubi Industrial Park, S408934 (+65 9658 5808) and 1 Bukit Batok Crescent, #03-22 WCEGA Plaza, S658064 (+65 8070 9008). **Hours:** daily 9am-6pm, closed public holidays.

CARs works out of basement carparks at 17 locations: Bukit Panjang Plaza, Lot One, Jurong Point, Westgate, Bishan (HDB carpark above the bus interchange), Compass One, Waterway Point, City Square Mall, Raffles City, Suntec City, Marina Square, One Holland Village (new, B2), Ngee Ann City, Paragon, Parkway Parade, Tampines Mall and Jewel. You park, shop and collect. Its 2026 menu (uploaded 11 Sep) says **all prices include 9% GST**, which is rare here. The catch is the non-member price: an **Eco-Tech Hydroshot wash is $55 for a sedan and $65 for an SUV/MPV**, against **$18 for members**. Other non-member prices: waxing $150/$180, complete interior cleaning $150/$250, **glass coating $488**, ELITE coating $1,088 and GRAPHENE coating (12-month warranty) $1,288. Membership starts with **Silver at $488 for a year**, which loads 170 stored-value points (1 point = $1) and unlocks member rates, so it only pays off if you wash every couple of weeks. Gold is $888 for two years with 370 points. **Hours:** most counters open 10am-6pm on weekdays and 10am-7pm on weekends; Paragon, Jewel and Bukit Panjang stay open later. Bookings 6846 0663.

Hydrowash sells its coatings as fixed packages on its own online store, priced across five sizes (S to XXL), and every one includes **three free maintenance car spas and a photoshoot**. **Level 1 IGL EZCoat is $378 to $498**, **Level 2 IGL CQuartz $448 to $568**, **Level 3 SONAX CC-EVO $648 to $848** and **Level 4 IGL Kenzo Graphene $888 to $1,288**. Add a 10-step interior clean for $100 or an 18-step one for $168. If you only want a clean, Package 1 (car spa plus standard interior) is **$138 to $218**, and Package 2 (polish plus interior, marked "Promotion" on the store with no end date) is $288 to $368. Two things to check before paying: the store tags prices "excluding sales tax", so ask whether GST is added, and the older services page still lists SONAX coatings from $318 that the store no longer sells. **Where:** 2 Yishun Industrial Street 1, #03-01 Northpoint Bizhub, S768159 (ignore the old Upper Thomson Road address on its contact page). **Hours:** daily 9am-7pm, closed public holidays. WhatsApp 8028 0868.

Wash Collective comes to residential carparks (HDB, condo or landed) across Singapore and posts every price on its own store. **Mobile prices (sedan / SUV / MPV):** Premium Exterior Foam Wash **$38 / $44 / $50**, Wash & Vacuum $68 / $78 / $88, Interior & Exterior Grooming $128 / $144 / $160, fumigation with a 7-day warranty $138 / $153 / $168, and polishing with a ceramic coating $298 / $348 / $398. Sentosa and non-residential carparks cost $10 more, and bookings take a $10 non-refundable deposit. If you can drive over, its **Cloud Wash studio** at 1 Corporation Drive, #03-14, S619775 is far cheaper: exterior wash from **$16**, wash and vacuum from $32, interior and exterior from $66, with a kids' playground while you wait. **Studio hours:** Monday, Wednesday and Friday 9am-6pm; Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 9am-9pm; closed Sundays.

Carpow is a no-appointment hand wash for drivers who just want a clean car cheaply. There are four packages: **Standard** (body wash, tyre shine), **Premium** (adds an interior vacuum), **Extreme** (adds water wax and a chemical rim clean) and **Kilat** (adds a ceramic sealant, interior wipe-down and leather cleaning). The price list its website links to reads **$8 / $12 / $18 / $30** for a small car, but a newer September 2024 menu on the same site reads **$10 / $14 / $20 / $30**, rising to $14 / $20 / $28 / $45 for a large car. Budget for the newer figures, and check the board at the counter. Car sizes are not defined on either list. **Where:** 1 Bukit Batok Crescent, #03-33 WCEGA Plaza, S658064 and 2 Yishun Industrial Street 1, #02-14 Northpoint Bizhub, S768159. **Hours:** Sunday to Thursday 12pm-9pm, Friday and Saturday 12pm to midnight, and the queue is cut at closing time. WhatsApp +65 8539 6843. The evening hours are the real draw: most detailers here close by 6pm or 7pm.
$3 off your first visit, claimed by WhatsApp from Carpow's website. No code, no end date published.
Jerga is the pick for two jobs the other shops here do not lead with. The first is upkeep: its **Premium Car Spa / Coating Maintenance wash is $30 for a sedan or SUV and $35 for a large MPV**, and it is the one service you can book online. That makes it a cheap place to maintain a coating you had done elsewhere. The second is paintwork: Jerga is running **$500 off a full car respray**, so an exterior respray is **from $800 (usual $1,300)** and an inside-and-out colour change is **$1,600 (usual $2,100)**, both with free 3-stage polishing worth $199 and a 3-year warranty. Full vinyl wraps start from $1,280 with a free wrap coating. Its own ULTIMEA Self Heal coating is quoted on enquiry and bundles freebies Jerga values at up to $1,600 (windscreen, rim, leather and headlight coatings). **Where:** 8 Kaki Bukit Ave 4, #01-05 Premier @ Kaki Bukit, S415875; enter from Gate 1, turn right and go down the slope. Some directories still show an old Woodlands address. **Hours:** Tuesday to Sunday 10am-7pm, closed Mondays. Call or WhatsApp +65 9755 5282.
$500 off a full car respray: exterior from $800 (U.P. $1,300), colour change $1,600 (U.P. $2,100), free 3-stage polishing worth $199. No end date published.

Every price above was read on 17 September 2026 from each business's own website, online store or published price list: Gleam Auto's FY2026 catalogue, Revol Carz's coating and grooming pages, Lambency Detailing's SONAX package page, CARs International's 2026 services menu, Hydrowash Detailing's online store, Wash Collective's store, Carpow's two price menus and Jerga Details' spray painting page and booking calendar. Where a shop's own pages disagree (Gleam Auto's homepage versus its catalogue, Carpow's two menus, Hydrowash's services page versus its store), we quote the more recent or the higher figure and say so. Promotions without a published end date can end at any time. We left out a Pioneer paint-protection shop whose web address now points to an unrelated site, a detailer whose own site carries spam posts and publishes almost no prices, and two mobile services whose photos looked like stock or AI images.
For a small or medium car, shop prices checked on 17 September 2026 start at $250 (Lambency Detailing's SONAX CC ONE) and $338 (Gleam Auto's System X Crystal 9H), with most mid-range 9H and graphene coatings between $400 and $700. Premium multi-year coatings cost $888 to $1,300 (Gleam Auto and Hydrowash's IGL Kenzo Graphene, Lambency's CC EVO, Revol's Titanium), and CARs International's GRAPHENE+ is $1,888. Large cars and MPVs usually add $50 to $100 per tier. Compare what is included: Revol's price includes paint correction and interior grooming, and Hydrowash adds three maintenance washes.
Of the shops we checked, Carpow's walk-in hand wash at WCEGA Plaza (Bukit Batok) and Northpoint Bizhub (Yishun) is the cheapest, from about $10 for a small car on its newer menu, and first-time customers can claim $3 off by WhatsApp. Wash Collective's Cloud Wash studio in Jurong charges $16 for an exterior wash. Mall-carpark washes cost much more unless you are a member: CARs International charges non-members $55 for a sedan and members $18.
Usually not. Wash Collective's doorstep foam wash is $38 for a sedan, while its own studio charges $16 for an exterior wash and Carpow's walk-in wash starts at about $10. You pay for the convenience of not driving anywhere. Mobile coatings can be cheaper, though: Wash Collective's polish plus ceramic coating is $298 for a sedan. Check the carpark rules first; mobile services generally need a sheltered residential carpark for interior work, and Wash Collective adds $10 for Sentosa or non-residential carparks.
Most shops do not say. CARs International's 2026 menu is the clear exception and states that all prices include 9% GST. Hydrowash's online store labels its prices as excluding sales tax, so ask before booking whether GST is added. Revol Carz, Lambency Detailing, Gleam Auto, Jerga Details and Carpow publish no GST note, so confirm the final amount when you get a quote.
Go by the warranty rather than the marketing. Among these shops, entry coatings carry 1 year (Gleam Auto's System X Crystal) to 36 months (Revol's Glass and ZeTough coatings), and top tiers carry 4 years (Gleam's IGL Kenzo) to 5 years (Revol's Titanium, extendable to 7 with annual inspection). Revol itself warns that lifetime claims rarely hold up in Singapore's climate. Most warranties depend on regular maintenance washes, which is why shops like Gleam Auto and Hydrowash bundle free spas and Jerga sells a $30 coating maintenance wash.
