Ceramic coating & full detailing

Ceramic coating and full detailing for Doreen and Mernda locals. Book the car in with us here in Doreen, and the coating keeps it looking like this for years, not weeks.

Serving Doreen & Mernda since 2025
What we do

Detailing that lasts

Cars, 4WDs and utes. Booked by phone, one call and we'll sort a time.

Full detail, inside and out

The lot, in one go. This is the one most people book.

  • Snow foam pre-wash, then a safe two-bucket contact wash
  • Wheels, arches and tyres cleaned back and dressed
  • Paint decontaminated and clay barred, then protected with wax or sealant
  • Interior vacuumed, mats out, seats and carpets steam cleaned
  • Dash, console, vents, door cards and jambs
  • Engine bay cleaned and dressed
  • All glass, inside and out
From $350Sedans and hatches. SUVs, 4WDs and utes are more, there is simply more car. Quoted after I look at it.

Ceramic coating

A hard protective layer bonded to the paint. Dirt and water sheet straight off, washing gets easier, and the colour keeps its depth for years instead of months.

  • Full decontamination and paint correction first, a coating locks in whatever is under it
  • CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0, applied by hand, panel by panel
  • Wheels and glass can be coated too
  • Aftercare talked through so it actually lasts
From $750CarPro CQuartz UK 3.0, 2+ years, and longer if you look after it. Includes decontamination and paint correction. Scratched or older paint is quoted after I look at it, I would rather see the car than guess.

General clean

The regular one. Keeps a car that gets looked after looking like it.

  • Snow foam pre-wash so the grit comes off before anything touches the paint
  • Two-bucket contact wash, clean mitt
  • Wheels and tyres cleaned and dressed
  • Dried properly with a plush towel, this is where swirls come from
  • Windows and mirrors
  • Interior tidy, vacuum, dash and console wiped down
From $80Small cars from $80, SUVs and utes from $110. The regular maintenance clean, not a full detail.

Interior detail

Everything you actually touch, done the slow way.

  • Mats out and cleaned separately, the carpet underneath is where the smell lives
  • Carpets worked properly, not shaken and put back
  • Cloth seats shampooed and extracted; leather cleaned and conditioned
  • Dash, console, vents, buttons and door cards
  • Door jambs and sills, the bit everyone misses
  • Glass cleaned inside, where the film builds up
  • Deodorised at the source, not perfumed over the top
From $220Steam cleaned seats and carpets. Price moves with how much has gone on in there, kids, dogs and tradies all cost more, and I would rather see it than guess.

Paint decontamination and clay bar

What a wash leaves behind. Do the bag test, if it feels gritty, it needs this.

  • Iron fallout remover for embedded brake dust and rail dust
  • Tar and tree sap dissolved off, not scrubbed
  • Clay bar over every panel until the paint is glass-smooth
  • Has to happen before any wax, sealant or coating will bond properly
  • Darker cars can show some marring or swirling afterwards and may need correction, every car and colour is different
From $180Usually done as part of a full detail or before a coating. On its own for paint that feels gritty but does not need correcting.

Pre-sale detail

Selling it? A proper detail is the cheapest thing you can do to the price.

  • Full inside and out, finished for photos
  • Engine bay tidied and dressed
  • Headlights restored if they have gone cloudy, it ages a car more than anything
  • Wheels and tyres dressed
  • Glass streak-free so the listing photos come up clean
From $350Same work as a full detail, finished for photos. Cheapest money you will spend on the asking price.

Car fault diagnostics

Paying $150 to know what the problem is beats guessing and buying three parts to find out.

What I do

  • Diagnose fault codes, all makes and models
  • Bidirectional scanner, it talks back to the car and commands components, not just reads from it. That is how you prove which part has actually failed
  • Pinpoint the fault, not just the warning light
  • A written report sent to you afterwards, yours to take to whoever does the work
$150

Includes travel, the diagnostic work and the written report. One flat price.

What I don't do: key programming and module programming. If that's what your car needs, I'll tell you straight so you're not paying me to find out.
