Car Detailing
in Melbourne
Professional car detailing for Melbourne drivers. Booked in at our Cranbourne North studio in Melbourne's south-east, about 45 minutes from the CBD.
Why Melbourne drivers book car detailing
Melbourne is hard on cars in ways that creep up slowly. Bayside salt air, city car-park scrapes, tree sap through the leafy inner east, summer sun on a parked bonnet and the fine grit that comes off every freeway. Almost all of it is reversible, but only with a proper detail rather than another quick wash.
Detailing isn't a wash. A wash cleans the outside. A detail cleans the outside AND resets the inside, with deeper attention to vents, carpet, upholstery, trim and the surfaces a wash never touches. The result holds for weeks, not days, which is why most of our Melbourne regulars run on a roughly six-week rotation.
One thing to be upfront about: we're a fixed studio, not a mobile service, and we sit in Melbourne's south-east at Cranbourne North. Most of our metro clients come from the south-east corridor, out through Casey, Dandenong and down towards Frankston. From the CBD and the inner suburbs it's about a 45 minute run down EastLink or the M1. Mobile headlight restoration is the one service we do bring to you.
What car detailing actually does
Car detailing covers the everyday refresh through to the deep interior reset that takes a tired car back to feeling new. Four core stages run through every booking.
Exterior wash and decontamination
Pre-foam, two-bucket wash, wheels cleaned, tyres dressed, microfibre dry. The base every detail starts from.
Interior vacuum and deep clean
Carpets, seats, mats, vents and the spots most washes miss. Upholstery deep clean or leather reconditioning on the bigger packages.
Surface protection
Dashboard, centre console and door cards protected so the deep clean stays looking right for longer.
Glass, plastics, trim
Windows streak-free, trim restored, plastics dressed. The finishing layer that ties the whole detail together.
Three detailing packages
From a quick weekly-driver refresh to a full interior reset. Mix and match with add-ons like odor elimination or leather reconditioning when you enquire.
Basic Interior & Exterior
Interior Reset & Protection
Paint Enhancement
Final pricing depends on vehicle size and current paint condition. We quote every job after seeing the car.

Car Detailing Melbourne - FAQs
How long does detailing take?
Timing depends on the size and condition of the car plus the package you book. A Basic Interior & Exterior typically runs two to three hours. Bigger Interior Reset or Paint Enhancement packages are a half day to full day. We confirm timing when we quote.
What's the difference between a wash and a detail?
A wash cleans the outside. A detail cleans the outside AND resets the inside, with deeper attention to vents, carpet, upholstery, trim and surfaces a wash never touches. The result lasts weeks, not days.
Do you do pre-sale details for cars being listed?
Yes. Our Pre Sale Detail (from $225) is built specifically for cars being prepared for sale. We focus on the touch points and photo-ready surfaces that buyers actually look at.
Can I add odor elimination or leather reconditioning?
Yes. Both run as add-ons to any package. Mention them in the enquiry form or when we call back and we'll factor them into the quote.
Are you mobile? Can you come to Melbourne?
We are not a mobile detailing service. All general detailing is carried out at our Cranbourne North studio in Melbourne's south-east, about 45 minutes from the CBD and a lot less from the south-east suburbs. We do offer mobile headlight restoration as a separate add-on.
How much is car detailing in Melbourne?
Pricing starts from $110 for our Basic Interior and Exterior package and $150 for Interior Reset and Protection. Paint Enhancement is from $300. Add-ons like odor elimination, leather reconditioning and engine bay clean are priced on top. We quote individually after knowing the vehicle.
