Frequently asked questions

Got questions about our detailing techniques, booking process, or maintenance advice? Find clear answers below or get in touch directly.

How long does a full detail take?

Most comprehensive interior and exterior detailing jobs take between four to eight hours. Major paint correction and ceramic coatings may require overnight curing in our workshop.

Where are you located?

We are based locally in Timaru, New Zealand, serving drivers across South Canterbury seeking quality automotive care.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes, we operate by appointment to ensure every vehicle receives dedicated, unhurried time and attention to detail.

What is the benefit of ceramic coating?

Ceramic coatings form a semi-permanent hydrophobic barrier that resists dirt, simplifies future washing, and protects your clear coat against UV oxidation.

Can you remove water spots and swirl marks?

Yes, our paint correction service uses specialised compounds and machine polishers to safely level clear coat imperfections and restore gloss.

How should I maintain my car after detailing?

We recommend a two-bucket contact wash using pH-neutral car shampoo and clean microfibre drying towels to preserve your finish.
