How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Cornwall in 2026?
We collected the prices published by car valeters and detailers across Cornwall's eight market towns in September 2026. Just three of the forty-nine businesses in this directory publish a price list; the other forty-six ask you to call or message with details of the vehicle before quoting.
| Business | Service | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Wheely Clean, Truro | Headlight restoration | £40 |
| Wheely Clean, Truro | Bronze mini valet | £50 |
| Spandau Valet, Penzance | Bronze valet (car) | £50 |

| Spandau Valet, Penzance | Gold valet (car) | £135 |
| Wheely Clean, Truro | Gold valet | £160 |
| Spandau Valet, Penzance | Ceramic coating (car) | £175 |
| Wheely Clean, Truro | Platinum valet | £190 |

Why the range is so wide
The gap between £40 and £575 mostly separates ordinary valeting from specialist paint-correction and coating work, rather than one business over- or under-charging. Wheely Clean, a mobile valeter working out of Truro and St Agnes, prices a tiered valet structure running from a £50 bronze mini valet to a £190 platinum valet, plus a separate £40 headlight restoration. Spandau Valet, mobile across West Cornwall from Penzance and trading since around 2005, publishes a similar shape: a £50 bronze valet up to a £135 gold valet, with a £175 ceramic coating sitting above the valet tiers. TMS Garage is a different kind of business: a general Truro garage with a dedicated detailing arm, and its price list has no ordinary wash or valet line at all, only a £250 ceramic coating, a £375 one-stage paint enhancement, a £575 two-stage enhancement, and a £50 per-face alloy wheel coating add-on. Treat that £50 figure as an add-on price, not the cost of a full valet there.
