Meticulous Car Detailing Melbourne

Think of it like this: our ‘In & Out’ detail is your essential refresh for a clean car inside and out. The ‘Pre-Sale Detail’ significantly steps up the cleaning, decontamination, and restoration to maximise buyer appeal. Our premium ‘Ceramic Coating’ package is the ultimate investment for vehicle protection – it includes meticulous prep like decontamination and Stage 1 Paint Correction, plus the long-lasting 8-year Gtechniq ceramic coating for superior protection and incredible gloss maintenance.

Magnum guarantees the coating material itself for 8 years with proper maintenance. Its peak performance lifespan depends on driving conditions in Melbourne, how often you wash your car, and using safe washing methods. Regular safe washing is key. We provide simple aftercare guidance to maximise longevity, and our 8-year workmanship warranty covers the quality of our ceramic coating application at our Springvale facility.

For the best possible results and coating longevity, yes, we strongly recommend at least Stage 1 Paint Correction. This process removes most minor paint defects (~70% swirl removal) and creates a much smoother, glossier surface. This allows the ceramic coating to bond perfectly. Applying a coating over existing imperfections essentially seals them in, compromising the final look. Our Free Paint Inspection determines the necessary level of paint correction for your specific vehicle’s paintwork.

• Single Stage Paint Correction: Removes approximately 70% of light imperfections like minor swirls and hazing. You’ll notice a significant improvement in gloss and paint clarity. It’s ideal for newer cars or vehicles with only light paint defects.
• Stage 2 Paint Correction: Eliminates 80-90% of paint imperfections, including deeper swirl marks and light to moderate scratches. This results in a dramatic visual enhancement of your car’s paintwork.
• Multi-Stage Paint Correction: This is our most intensive process, aiming for near-perfect paint (90%+ defect removal). It tackles deeper scratches and defects to achieve maximum clarity, depth, and a true mirror finish. The final result depends on the initial condition and thickness of your car’s paint.

The time required varies significantly based on the specific detailing service:

Premium car detailing is incredibly beneficial for vehicles of all ages! While applying ceramic coating protection to a new car from day one is ideal for preserving its factory finish, our services offer fantastic transformations for older cars too. Professional paint correction can restore faded, swirled, or scratched paintwork, making an older car look years younger and significantly boosting its appearance. Deep interior detailing can revitalise a tired, worn cabin space. Our premium detailing enhances, protects, and adds value to cars regardless of age.

Proper maintenance is crucial for maximising the life and performance of your ceramic coating. We recommend using pH-neutral car wash soaps, employing a safe wash technique (like the two-bucket method with grit guards), and using high-quality, soft microfibre towels for drying. Avoid automatic car washes that use harsh brushes or strong chemicals. Regular maintenance washing (ideally every 1-2 weeks) prevents contaminant build-up and keeps the coating performing optimally. We provide specific, easy-to-follow aftercare instructions upon completion of the service, and also offer Maintenance Detail packages designed for coated vehicles.

Yes, definitely. Our comprehensive car detailing process includes intensive pre-wash stages and snow foam application designed to safely loosen and lift heavy, stubborn contamination before we make physical contact with your vehicle’s paintwork. Combined with specific decontamination steps (like iron fallout removers and clay barring where needed) and careful, meticulous hand washing techniques, we can safely and effectively remove heavy grime that standard car washes simply cannot handle, without inflicting damage.

We aim to make payment convenient. We accept various methods including major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard), EFTPOS payments, and cash. Please feel free to confirm your preferred payment method when booking your appointment if you have any specific questions.
