Car Detailing in Pakenham, Interior & Exterior
We detail in-house, in a workshop that can tell why a car looks the way it does. A musty smell can be a blocked sunroof drain rather than a dirty carpet, and swirl marks come from how the paint's been washed, not from age. We tell you honestly what's fixable, quote it up front, and lock in the price before we start. Text us photos or call.
Exterior detailing
- Hand wash and decontamination. This removes bonded contaminants like iron fallout, tar and tree sap, which an ordinary wash leaves behind.
- Clay bar treatment for smooth paint
- Paint enhancement and correction: single-stage machine polish to bring back gloss, or multi-stage correction for swirl marks and light scratches. We tell you honestly what's achievable. Deep scratches through the clear coat need paintwork, not polish.
- Headlight restoration for hazy, oxidised plastic lenses
- Wheels, tyres and arches deep cleaned
- Trim restoration for faded black plastic
- Protection: wax, sealant or ceramic coating [confirm which you offer], to help paint resist Australian UV, bird droppings, bugs and road grime
Interior detailing
- Full vacuum, including seat runners, door pockets and boot
- Steam or hot-water extraction for carpets, mats and fabric seats
- Leather clean and condition
- Dash, console, door trims, vents and screens cleaned (with screen-safe products on touch displays)
- Stain removal: food, drink, ink, child seat marks
- Pet hair removal
- Odour treatment [confirm method, e.g. ozone] for smoke, pets and damp smells
- Glass cleaned inside and out

FAQs
What's the difference between a car wash and a detail?
A wash removes surface dirt. A detail decontaminates and polishes the paint, protects it, and deep cleans and conditions the interior.
How long does a detail take?
It depends on the package and the car's condition. [Add typical times for each package.]
Can polishing remove scratches?
Light scratches and swirl marks, yes. A scratch you can catch with a fingernail has usually gone through the clear coat and needs paintwork, not polish. See {Bodywork & Painting}.
Can you remove stains, smells and pet hair?
Most of them. Set-in stains, burns and mould need assessing first, and we'll tell you honestly what's achievable. A persistent damp smell can also point to a leak, which we can look into.
Do you do ceramic coating?
[Confirm and describe what you offer. For example: wax, sealant or ceramic coating, and how long each is expected to last.]
Should I detail my car before selling it?
It's worth it. A clean car photographs better and signals that it's been looked after. We offer a pre-sale package.
How much does a detail cost?
See our packages above. If you're not sure which one you need, text us photos and we'll quote it and lock in the price before we start.
Can I book a detail with a service?
Yes. Book your detail with a {minor}, {major} or {logbook service} and collect the car serviced and clean.
Book it with your service
If your car is already in for a {minor service}, {major service} or {logbook service}, add a detail and you collect it clean as well as serviced. If it needs panel or paint repairs, see {Bodywork & Painting}.
