Overview

Detailing, Protection and Restoration

Our work falls into three buckets: fixing what's wrong with your paint, protecting it so it stays right, and preparing cars for the moments that matter — a concours lawn, a sale, or delivery day.

Choosing

Which Service Is Right for Your Car?

Your paint looks dull, swirled or scratched

You need paint correction. Nothing else fixes defects — a coating applied over swirls simply seals them in.

You want the car to stay clean and glossy

You want a ceramic coating. It's the single best value protection for most Melbourne cars.

You're worried about stone chips

Paint protection film is the only thing that genuinely stops them. Coatings do not.

The car is brand new

See new car paint protection — and please read it before you sign up for the dealer's package.

You're selling

Pre-sale detailing is the highest-return money you'll spend on a car you're about to list.

The car is being judged or shown

Concours detailing — every panel, shut, seam and the engine bay prepared to judging standard.

You want to cut cabin heat and glare

Window tinting — quality automotive film, applied cleanly and kept legal for Victoria.

You just want to look after it properly yourself

Our car care tips — the two-bucket wash step by step, the products we use, and how to maintain PPF and ceramic coating between visits.

Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Which service does my car actually need?

It depends on the car's condition and how you use it. As a rule: correction fixes what's wrong, ceramic coating keeps it clean and glossy, and PPF stops physical damage. Most cars benefit from correction plus one form of protection. Send us photos and we'll tell you honestly.

Can I combine multiple services?

Almost every job we do is a combination. The most common package is paint correction, then PPF on the front end, then a ceramic coating over the whole car including the film.

Do you offer mobile services across Melbourne?

Yes, for detailing and maintenance work — we need power, a tap and an undercover area. Paint correction, ceramic coating and PPF are done at our Richmond studio where conditions are controlled.

How much do your services cost?

Detailing starts around $350, paint correction from $600, ceramic coating from $1,200 and a full front of PPF from around $2,500. Every car is quoted individually after we've seen it — honest pricing requires actually looking at the paint.

How far in advance do I need to book?

Detailing can often be accommodated within a week. Correction, coating and PPF bookings typically run two to four weeks out, as those jobs occupy a bay for several days.

Do you work on classic and collector cars?

Extensively. Air-cooled Porsches, Ferraris, restoration projects and concours entrants are core work for us. Original paint gets a measured, conservative approach and paint depth readings before anything touches it.

Do you offer gift vouchers?

We do — see our gift vouchers, available in $350 and $650 denominations and redeemable against any service.

What's the difference between your detailing and a cheaper mobile detailer?

Time, lighting, products and knowing when to stop. Paint correction done badly permanently thins your clear coat. We measure, we test, and we tell you when a service isn't worth the money on your car.
