How Often Should I Get My Car Detailed?
How often you should get your car detailed depends on how you use and store your vehicle, but for most drivers on the Gold Coast, a professional detail every 3 to 6 months is ideal. Regular detailing helps protect your paint from UV exposure, salt air, dirt, and road grime while keeping your interior fresh and hygienic. At The Auto Detailers, we recommend scheduling maintenance detailing every 2-4 weeks if you want your vehicle to stay in top condition year-round. This not only maintains that showroom shine but also preserves your car’s long-term value and reduces the need for costly paint correction in the future. With our mobile detailing services, we come directly to you—making it easy to maintain your car’s appearance with our repeat-service discount plans. -
A Pre-Sale detail includes a deep exterior clean, paint decontamination, interior vacuum and shampoo, plastic and leather conditioning, and window cleaning. At The Auto Detailers, we tailor every package to your vehicle’s needs—whether you want showroom perfection or regular maintenance care.

A regular wash removes surface dirt, while detailing restores, protects, and enhances your car’s appearance. Detailing involves paint correction, ceramic coatings, and interior treatments designed to preserve your car long-term. The Auto Detailers offer both quick maintenance cleans and full restorative details. In order to cater to everyone’s needs, we’ve decided to offer both express car cleaning for those who are used to going through an automatic car wash/express hand car wash. On the other hand, the detailing we offer is catered for those who want their paint to remain near perfect, and want all components of the car cleaned in depth whilst protecting and maintaining these components.

Paint correction, or more commonly known as Cut & Polish or Buffing, removes swirl marks, oxidation, and light scratches from your car’s clear coat to restore true gloss and clarity. It’s ideal for vehicles that have lost their shine over time from UV exposure or incorrect wash methods such as automatic car washes and express hand washes. When combined with our ceramic coating or paint protection services, the results last for years.
-
Depending on the service, a detail can take anywhere from 1.5-2 hours for a basic maintenance clean, 3-4 hours for a Pre-Sale detail all the way up to 2+ days for multi-stage paint correction and ceramic coating. We’ll always provide an estimated time before starting so you can plan your day easily.

A ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer over your paint, offering exceptional gloss, UV protection, and hydrophobic water-beading. It makes cleaning easier, reduces scratches, and maintains that freshly-detailed look for years—especially important under Gold Coast’s strong sun.
