Mobile detailing time depends on the vehicle size, condition, and the level of service selected. A maintenance detail typically takes between 1.5 to 2.5 hours, while a standard full detail may take 3 to 5 hours. Paint correction or ceramic coating services can take significantly longer, sometimes a full day or multiple days depending on paint condition. On the Gold Coast, environmental factors such as salt air, sand, UV exposure, and water spotting can increase the time required to properly clean and protect a vehicle.

For most vehicles, professional detailing is recommended every 2 to 4 weeks to maintain paint protection, interior cleanliness, and resale value. Vehicles regularly exposed to coastal environments, sun exposure, or daily commuting may benefit from more frequent maintenance detailing. Regular detailing helps prevent long term damage from UV fading, salt contamination, and embedded dirt. Many customers choose maintenance detailing plans to keep their vehicle consistently clean while reducing long term correction costs.

Yes, paint correction services can significantly reduce or remove swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and hazy paint. The level of correction depends on the depth of the defect and the thickness of the paint. Most swirl marks caused by automatic car washes or poor washing techniques can be safely corrected. Deeper scratches that go through the clear coat may require touch up paint or body repair. A proper paint inspection is usually performed before correction to determine the best and safest approach.

Professional mobile detailing uses safe wash methods, pH balanced chemicals, and specialised tools designed to protect paint, plastics, leather, and fabrics. Safe washing techniques such as pre-foam, contact-safe hand washing, and proper drying methods help reduce the risk of scratches. Interior cleaning products are chosen based on the material type to prevent damage or fading. When performed correctly, professional detailing helps extend the life of vehicle surfaces and improves long term appearance.

The Auto Detailers are fully self-contained and can bring their own water and power supply if needed. This allows detailing to be completed at homes, apartments, workplaces, and commercial locations. In some cases, access to power or water can help speed up the process, but it is not always required. Self-contained setups are especially useful for customers living in units, offices, or locations without direct outdoor connections.

A typical mobile detailing service usually includes an exterior safe wash, wheel and tyre cleaning, interior vacuum, wipe down of interior surfaces, window cleaning, and protective finishing products. Higher level services may include machine polishing, paint correction, ceramic coating application, interior shampooing, and leather conditioning. Service inclusions can vary depending on the package selected and the condition of the vehicle. Custom detailing plans are often available for customers wanting ongoing maintenance or specialised protection.

The Auto Detailers offer maintenance detailing plans designed to keep vehicles consistently clean while reducing overall detailing costs. Regular maintenance helps prevent heavy contamination buildup and reduces the need for major correction work. Customers who book recurring services often receive discounted rates compared to one-off detailing services. Maintenance detailing is especially popular for daily driven vehicles, luxury vehicles, and vehicles protected with ceramic coatings.

The Auto Detailers are specialists at maintenance detailing.

Yes, professional mobile detailing is suitable for luxury, performance, and classic vehicles when performed using safe techniques and specialised products. Higher end vehicles often require paint safe wash methods, premium protection products, and careful interior cleaning techniques. Classic vehicles may require additional care due to older paint systems or delicate interior materials. Many detailing services tailor their process based on the vehicle type and owner requirements.

Mobile detailing services can typically be booked online, by phone, or through social media messaging. Most bookings require basic vehicle information such as size, condition, location, and preferred service type. Some services may provide quotes based on photos or inspection. Booking in advance is recommended, especially during busy seasons or holiday periods. Many customers schedule future maintenance appointments at the time of service to maintain availability.

The Auto Detailers will travel to customer homes, workplaces, or other approved locations. Service areas commonly include major suburbs, residential areas, and commercial zones. Travel distance may affect booking availability or travel fees depending on location. Customers outside standard service areas can often request custom bookings depending on schedule availability. Some examples of this would be Ashmore, Surfers Paradise, Benowa, Bundall, Broadbeach and more. Check out our locations page for every suburb we service.

Yes, interior detailing services can remove many stains from carpets, seats, and fabric surfaces using specialised extraction machines and stain removal products. The success of stain removal depends on the stain type, how long it has been present, and the material affected. While most organic and common stains can be improved or fully removed, some permanent staining may remain if the material has been permanently damaged.

High quality mobile detailing requires specialised equipment, proper training, and significant time per vehicle, which limits how many bookings can be completed per day. Many premium detailers focus on quality over volume, which can result in limited availability. Demand for professional detailing services has increased as more vehicle owners look to protect their investment and maintain resale value. Booking in advance is often recommended to secure preferred appointment times.
