Keep Your Car Protected & Shining with Our Maintenance Detail in South East Melbourne

A Maintenance Detail is a specialised car care service designed for vehicles that already have a ceramic coating or sealant applied. It involves a safe car wash process specifically designed not to harm the existing protection, followed by the application of a 'top-up' product (like a compatible sealant or SiO2 spray) to rejuvenate the coating's hydrophobic properties and gloss. It's about maintaining paint protection, not applying it from scratch or correcting major defects.

This detailing service is ideal for owners of vehicles that have previously received a professional ceramic coating or sealant application. If you want to ensure that protection lasts as long as possible and keeps looking great, regular Maintenance Details are the perfect vehicle maintenance solution. It's also great for those who want a higher level of clean than a standard car wash offers, focusing on safe methods.

The ideal frequency depends on how you use your car, where it's stored, and environmental conditions in Melbourne. As a general guide, every 2-4 months is recommended for daily driven vehicles exposed to the elements. For garaged weekend cars, you might stretch this to 4-6 months. Regularity is key to maximising the life of your primary coating protection.

A Maintenance Detail focuses purely on safely cleaning and boosting existing car protection. A Full Detail is more comprehensive, often including deeper cleaning, light polishing, and potentially applying a base layer of protection. Paint Correction is an intensive process specifically aimed at removing swirls, scratches, and other paint defects before protection is applied. Our Maintenance Detail assumes the paint is already in good condition and protected.

We use premium SiO2-based sprays or sealants from reputable brands like Gtechniq and Gyeon. These are chosen for their compatibility with existing ceramic coatings and sealants, effectively boosting hydrophobicity, slickness, and gloss without interfering with the base layer – crucial for effective sealant maintenance.

No, a Maintenance Detail is not designed to remove paint defects like scratches or swirl marks. Its primary purpose is cleaning and protection maintenance. If defect removal is needed, you would require one of our Paint Correction services before applying protection or performing maintenance.

Absolutely. We use pH-neutral soaps, soft microfibre wash mitts, the two-bucket method, and filtered water – all chosen to be gentle on all paint types and safe for existing ceramic coatings, sealants, and waxes. This ensures a truly safe car wash.

Yes, you certainly can. While the standard Maintenance Detail focuses on the exterior, we offer comprehensive Interior Cleaning services that can easily be added to your booking for a complete vehicle refresh and thorough car care.

During the initial contact or inspection, we can assess the condition of your current coating. If it appears to be nearing the end of its life, we might recommend a more thorough service, potentially involving a full decontamination, polish, and reapplication of protection, rather than just a maintenance wash top-up. We'll always provide honest advice based on your vehicle's paint protection maintenance needs.
