Exterior car detailing in Adelaide, gloss that lasts
Adelaide's sun, dust and bird droppings are hard on paint. Our exterior detail cleans it safely, removes what a wash leaves behind, brings back the gloss and protects it. All done at your place.
What's included
Every part of the exterior, done by hand
Safe hand wash
pH-neutral wash with careful technique, so we clean the paint without adding swirl marks.
Decontamination
Removes bonded grime and fallout that a normal wash leaves stuck to the paint.
Clay bar treatment
Lifts the last of the contamination so the paint feels glass-smooth and is ready to polish.
Stage 1 machine polish
Refines the paint to reduce light swirls and dullness and bring back depth and gloss.
6-month ceramic protection
A ceramic protection layer that makes the car easier to wash and helps protect the finish.
Glass and finishing
Windows cleaned outside and a final wipe-down so the car is ready to drive away.
Problems we fix
What we see most in Adelaide cars
- Dull, tired paint
- Years of sun and car washes take the shine off. A polish brings back the depth.
- Paint that feels rough
- Run your hand over it after a wash. If it feels gritty, that is bonded contamination, and the clay bar takes it off.
- Light swirls and marks
- Visible in the sun. Stage 1 reduces them, and Stage 2 paint correction goes further (add $149 to the Enhancement Detail).
- Cloudy headlights
- Yellowed lenses look tired and reduce light output. Add headlight restoration from $49 each.

FAQ
Exterior car detailing: common questions
Will a polish remove every scratch?
A Stage 1 polish reduces light swirls and restores gloss. Deeper scratches may need Stage 2 paint correction, and some that go through the clear coat cannot be polished out. We will tell you what to expect before we start.
How long does the ceramic protection last?
It is rated for around six months. How long it lasts on your car depends on how it is washed and stored.
Can you detail the car in the sun?
Shade is best for products and finish. A carport, garage or shaded spot works well. If there is none, let us know and we will plan around the weather.
Can you do just the outside?
Yes. Exterior-only details are quoted per car. Send a photo of the paint and tell us the make and model.
