Question 1

How long does a full car detail take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the package and condition of your vehicle. An interior and exterior detail can take up to 3 hours. A ceramic coating is a minimum overnight turnaround. We'll always give you a time estimate when you book.

Question 2

Do you come to me, or do I bring my car to you?

Accepted Answer

Both! We have a studio in Cairnlea where you can drop your car off, and we also offer a mobile service across Melbourne's western suburbs — we come to your home or workplace (excluding ceramic coatings and new car protection packages).

Question 3

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

Our ceramic coatings are designed to last 2–9 years depending on the product used, with proper care. We'll walk you through a simple maintenance routine after the job is done to help you get the most out of your coating.

Question 4

How much does ceramic coating cost?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic coating packages start from $1,295 and vary depending on your vehicle's size, paint condition and the level of protection you choose. Every quote starts with a free inspection so there are no surprises.

Question 5

Is PPF worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — paint protection film is one of the best ways to protect a new car's paint from stone chips, scratches and road debris. It's a self-healing film that keeps your factory paint looking new for years, which is why it's included in our Shield and Elite packages.

Question 6

How long does PPF last?

Accepted Answer

Quality PPF typically lasts 5-10 years with proper care, and many of our packages come with an extended hydrophobic protection warranty.

Question 7

Should I tint my new car?

Accepted Answer

Window tint isn't just cosmetic — it blocks harmful UV rays, reduces cabin heat, and protects your interior from fading. We recommend it for most new cars, and it's a complementary inclusion in our Shield and Elite packages.

Question 8

Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Applying a ceramic coating over PPF adds extra gloss, hydrophobic properties and UV resistance, making the film easier to clean and maintain long-term.

Question 9

What's the difference between a detail and ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

A detail is a thorough clean and finish — inside and out. Ceramic coating is a long-term protective layer bonded to your car's paint that repels water, dirt, UV rays, and minor scratches. We often recommend a detail first, then a coating on top.

Question 10

How long does window tint last?

Accepted Answer

Quality ceramic window tint typically lasts the lifetime of the vehicle without fading, bubbling or discolouring, unlike cheaper dyed films.

Question 11

Do you install dash cams?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we supply and professionally install front and rear dash cams with clean, hidden wiring — available as a standalone service or as an add-on to any package.

Question 12

Do I need to do anything to prepare my car before my appointment?

Accepted Answer

Just remove any personal items from the interior. We'll handle everything else — no need to pre-wash or vacuum.
