18 months later — still delighted
"Highly recommended. Aaron provided an excellent service from start to finish. Good communication before and after the job including follow-up suggestions. A really convenient mobile service — professional with clean tidy equipment. Great final results, the car felt in showroom condition again."
"Update (18 months later): a nice touch — Aaron followed up to check in how my ceramic coating was holding up. An example of the service he gives. In fact, his coating will probably outlast the mechanics & electronics on my car. Gtechniq Crystal Serum — highly recommended."

We are fully mobile and come to your location throughout the Nelson-Tasman region. This provides maximum convenience as your vehicle never has to leave your property while still receiving professional-grade service.
The time varies depending on the service. Basic detailing typically takes 3-5 hours, while ceramic coating applications can range from same-day "drive-away" service to 2+ days for premium coatings, depending on the preparation required and coating selected.
For vehicles without protective coatings, we recommend a full detail every 3-6 months to maintain optimal condition. Vehicles with ceramic coating typically need only a maintenance detail annually, with regular gentle washing in between.
Traditional waxes last 1-3 months and offer limited protection. Ceramic coatings chemically bond to your paint, creating protection that lasts years with superior resistance to environmental damage, chemicals, and UV rays, while also providing enhanced gloss and easier cleaning.
We accept various payment methods including bank transfer, credit/debit cards, and mobile payment options. We can discuss payment details during your consultation.
Yes, we stand behind our work 100%. Our ceramic coatings come with warranties ranging from 5 years to lifetime, depending on the product chosen. We're not satisfied until you're completely happy with the results.
