Every Panel, Every Seam
Multi-stage paint correction to the highest achievable finish, then hand-refined. Door shuts, jambs and lower sills get the same attention as the bonnet.

For cars that will be judged. Every surface a judge can see — and every surface they'll look for — prepared without compromise.
Concours detailing is a different discipline to normal car detailing. It isn't about making a car look excellent from three metres away — it's about a car that survives inspection from ten centimetres, with a torch and white gloves, by someone actively looking for faults.
Engine bays, boot channels, door shuts, suspension components, the underside of the bonnet, the back of the wheels, the seams no one washes. We've prepared cars for Motorclassica and private concours events, and we've spent a week on a single vehicle when that's what the brief required.
Multi-stage paint correction to the highest achievable finish, then hand-refined. Door shuts, jambs and lower sills get the same attention as the bonnet.
Judges look here as closely as they look at the paint. Every bracket, hose and boss detailed and dressed to a standard that survives inspection from thirty centimetres with a torch.
Leather cleaned and conditioned to correct sheen, carpets restored, every switch, vent and seam addressed. Originality preserved — we don't over-dress anything.
Transport arrival prep, final wipe-down on the lawn, and a detailer on hand through judging. The last hour before a judge arrives matters as much as the first week.
Motorclassica, marque club concours, private lawn events. If it's being judged, it needs preparing to that standard, not to a retail detailing standard.
We look after cars that don't get driven much and need to be perfect whenever they are. Ferrari F40s, Enzos, Carrera GTs, CLK GTRs — see our work.
When presentation directly changes the hammer price, this level of preparation pays for itself many times over.
The final finishing stage of a restoration — bringing a freshly-painted car up to a standard the paint alone won't reach.
We've prepared cars not just for the biggest events in Australia but for world-class concours in Europe and America — taking away awards all over the world. Our concours work can take over a week to complete, even when you hand us a “clean” car.

Concours detailing is preparation to competitive show standard — where a car is judged at close range on every visible and semi-visible surface, including the engine bay, underside, door shuts and boot channels. It's far more thorough than even a premium retail detail.
It's quoted per car and per brief, because the hours vary enormously. As a guide, concours preparation typically starts around $4,000 and can run well beyond $10,000 for a significant car being prepared for a judged event from a poor starting condition.
Anywhere from three days to several weeks. We've spent over a hundred hours on a single vehicle. The timeline is driven entirely by the car's starting condition and the standard the event demands.
Yes — we've prepared entrants for Motorclassica and various private and marque-club concours events around Melbourne. We can also provide event-day support and final preparation on the lawn.
Yes, and for concours it's essential — judges absolutely look there. Engine bays, subframes and undersides are detailed by hand to the same standard as the paint, with careful masking of anything sensitive on original components.
That's much of what we do. The key with an original car is knowing what not to touch — over-restoration is penalised. We work with owners to preserve originality and patina where it counts.
We do. Several Melbourne collections are on regular maintenance schedules with us, which keeps every car in show condition without needing a full concours preparation each time.
Yes, and it makes maintaining show condition dramatically easier between events. We'll discuss whether a coating is appropriate for the class you're entering, as some concours classes have preferences about modern coatings.
