WHAT IS A CAR DETAIL?

Car detailing is a systematic, thorough cleaning, polishing and waxing of an auto vehicle. It includes detailed work on both the interior and exterior, restoring, and in some cases, exceeding showroom quality. We offer a range of car details to ensure that we suit all customer requirements and budgets.

WHY DETAIL MY CAR?

Detailing your car will help preserve the vehicle's interior and paint work. There are numerous reasons why to detail your car. An interior detail will make the car clean and fresh and will remove bacteria and germs. For example, according to research, your steering wheel could harbor nine times more germs than a public toilet seat. Imagine what could be hiding in your children’s seats, with all their dropped food and wrappers.

If you are looking to sell your car, having it professionally detailed will increase your chances in receiving top dollar, and will sell it quicker than your competition. Getting a car detail on a pre-loved car will also help professionally clean the interior for you while making the car look even better than when you bought it.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY CAR PROFESSIONALLY WASHED AND WAXED?

While everyone’s preferences are different, ideally your car should be washed once a week to avoid contaminants bonding to your paintwork. While we provide weekly car wash packages, we find many of our customers prefer to take advantage of our fortnightly or monthly car wash packages.

Depending on circumstances, and the package we recommend for your car, wax or paint sealant should be applied every three to four months. Alternatively look at ceramic coating, which offers a permanent solution that only requires a touch up annually.

THE PAINT WORK ON MY CAR DOES NOT FEEL AS SMOOTH AS WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED

Washing the car regularly is not enough to remove oxidisation build up that occurs from UV rays and parking under trees, which can deteriorate unprotected paintwork. That is why, here at Auto Perfection Detailing, we have come up with a detailed schedule, so your car is protected all year round, using a variety of methods.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN POLISH AND WAX?

Polish is the first step to remove oxidisation and an array of scratches, while enhancing a deep gloss to the paintwork. Wax is either a liquid or paste protectant that will form a barrier on your paint work - like sunscreen.

IT HAS JUST RAINED ON MY RECENTLY DETAILED CAR, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Your car is now protected with wax. In the event of bad weather, the rain will bead off the paint and glass. Another quick rinse with a high pressure or garden hose, then a gentle chamois off will return it back to a perfect finish.

WHAT ARE THE KEY FEATURES OF A CERAMIC COATING OVER A CAR WAX?

Ceramic Coating protection for your car will last much longer than car wax and it’s a more permanent option.
The ceramic coating is extremely hydrophobic, causing it to actively repel dirt and grim so the vehicle stays cleaner for longer.
The ceramic coating adds more gloss and depth to your paint work.

HOW LONG DOES A CAR CERAMIC COATING LAST?

The length of time your ceramic coating lasts will depend on the product used and the way you treat your paintwork. We offer ceramic coating services which, with small maintenance will last 5-10 years.
