Erase Swirl Marks. Restore Your Car's Resale Value.

The primary difference is paint preservation versus potential paint damage. Our mobile detailing service is designed to protect your vehicle's value. In contrast, automated car washes prioritise speed, often using harsh chemicals and abrasive brushes that can inflict the fine scratches and swirl marks we are hired to remove. We use pH-neutral soaps and a meticulous two-bucket hand-wash method to enhance your car's condition.

The time required depends on the specific service and vehicle size. For planning purposes, here are our typical timeframes in Forest Hill:

• Maintenance Detail: 1-2 hours.
• Interior Deep Clean: 2-3 hours.
• Pre-Sale Detail (with machine polish): Approximately 4 hours.

We provide a more precise time estimate upon booking.

Yes, a modest onsite fee applies for mobile detailing in Forest Hill. This is because the location is outside our standard 10km service radius from our Springvale workshop. This fee covers our travel time and costs, and it is always included in your initial 15-minute fixed-price quote, ensuring no hidden charges.

Choosing between our mobile service and our Springvale workshop depends on the specific outcome you need. Here is a direct comparison:

• Our Mobile Service is ideal for: Convenience, Pre-Sale Details, Interior Deep Cleans, Maintenance Washes, and single-stage Paint Enhancement to remove light swirl marks.
• Our Workshop is necessary for: Multi-stage paint correction to remove deeper scratches, and for the application of accredited, multi-year ceramic coatings like Magnum, which require a sterile, dust-free environment.

Yes, we can perform our full range of mobile detailing services in an apartment complex, provided the following conditions are met:

• Permission from building management or body corporate.
• Access to a standard power outlet.
• Access to a standard water tap.
• Sufficient space to fully open all car doors and work safely.

A designated wash bay is ideal for this purpose.

Our rain-day policy is straightforward. If you have an undercover area like a double garage or carport, we can proceed with the detail as scheduled. If no adequate shelter is available during heavy rain, we will contact you on the morning of your appointment to reschedule to the next suitable day, with absolutely no cancellation fee.

Our mobile Paint Enhancement service is designed to remove the light swirl marks and haze that dull your paint, achieving approximately 70% improvement in clarity. It is not designed to remove deep scratches. A general rule is if you can feel a scratch with your fingernail, it has likely penetrated the clear coat and will require our more intensive multi-stage paint correction service at our Springvale workshop to safely repair.

For the best availability, we recommend booking your mobile detailing appointment 3-5 days in advance. Our Friday and weekend slots are the most popular and tend to fill up quickly. However, we can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests, so it is always worth calling our team to check our schedule.
