What's included

Inside

  • Everything in the full detail
  • Roof lining cleaned

The ultimate mobile detail

This is our most complete package. If the interior is in a bad way, this is the detail you need. Seats are deep cleaned and stains treated, and the same goes for the floor, mats and roof lining. Leather is cleaned and then conditioned with a dedicated leather treatment so it looks and feels right again.

Outside, the car is washed, clay barred to remove bonded contamination and machine polished to bring back gloss, then sealed.

Why it pays off when you sell

Buyers decide in the first minute. Photos of a glossy car with a clean, fresh interior stand out on Carsales and Marketplace, and a car that looks cared for gets fewer lowball offers. Dealers also look closely at the interior and paint when valuing a trade-in.

End of lease returns

Lease and novated-lease companies inspect returned cars for stains, odours and paint condition. A presale detail before the inspection can help avoid cleaning charges. Tell us your return date and we'll book around it.
