Getting Here from Pakenham
Allow roughly 50 minutes from Pakenham outside peak hour. The route is about 49.5 km via Princes Freeway and Monash Freeway, ending at 12/23A Cook Road, Mitcham, where there is parking out the front. Directions and opening hours are on our contact page.
Keeping It Detailed
The fastest way to waste a detail is a brush car wash on the way home. We hand over a simple routine: pH neutral shampoo, two buckets and a microfibre dry.
Water Spot Removal
Mineral rings from sprinklers and summer rain etch into paint and glass if they sit. Fresh spots wash off, older ones need a dedicated remover or a polish, and we tell you which before we start. Our washing dos and don’ts help stop them coming back.
Building Dust in the Cabin
Fine dust from the building sites around Pakenham gets into vents, seat rails and carpets. Full extraction clears it, and the paint gets a proper decontamination at the same time.
Seal the Work After Correction
Freshly corrected paint is bare. A ceramic coating, from $980 including single stage correction, locks in the finish. Correcting without sealing means paying for the same result twice.
Leather and Fabric Protection
After the clean we can protect: Gtechniq L1 for leather and I1 for fabric. Both slow how fast liquid soaks in, which turns a coffee spill from a stain into a wipe.
Why Customers Come to Us
Let us be straight: Mitcham is not around the corner from Pakenham. What you get for the drive is indoor bays, inspection lighting and our own team on your car, rather than a van in a car park. More about who we are, and if you are comparing shops, our guide to the best car detailing in Melbourne lists what to check.
How Long the Car Stays
A maintenance detail is usually a day, and correction runs one to three days. Coming from Pakenham, it makes sense to combine jobs, such as film and coating, or a detail with tint, into one booking so the drive happens once. We confirm the timing when you book.
Selling the Car? Detail It First
Buyers price what they see. A corrected, deep cleaned car photographs and negotiates better, and the detail usually costs less than the first price drop a tired car takes. For high value cars, see prestige car detailing.

Rated 5 out of 5 from 89 verified customer reviews.
I can’t recommend Jacky and his team highly enough. I accidentally opened my boot while the garage roller door was down, which left some nasty scratches. I was expecting the worst and thought I’d be up for an expensive respray, but they were incredibly helpful and managed to repair the damage beautifully. Jacky took the time to explain my options and went above and beyond to achieve a great result, saving me a lot…
Jessica Palmieri
Jacky and the team showed meticulous care and incredible attention to detail when installing a ceramic coating on my new RS3. The car came out far better than when it left the show-room floor and far surpassed my expectations. The handwashing tutorial that Jacky ran me through upon collection was also a great knowledge transfer & showed true dedication to their craft. 11/10, can't recommend enough.
Aidan Croxford
I Had my car cut and polished by Liquid R and can’t recommend these guys highly enough! Jacky thoroughly inspected the car and explained to me what needed to happen and the job was done really well. He also went through the proper washing and maintenance process for my car. Bobby was also very helpful when I picked up the car. Thanks guys!
Arash Koopal
Jacky and the team did a fantastic job on my Golf VW GTI with PPF and Ceramic Coating. The King's Red on the car popped out, with a smooth and slick to the touch! Professional and flexible to your needs without trying to put their opinion on you in an attempt to overwrite you as if your needs are stupid. Competitive pricing as well! Highly recommend these guys. Note: Better book in quick!

Jacky and his team did an amazing job taking all the tree sap off my white Mazda cx5. I had left it on for months so it was really stuck onto my paint nothing i tried worked and other detailers couldn't get it off properly. My car now looks brand new. Was a bit pricey for me but it is worth it since my car looks like it's straight out of a dealership now.

Jacky and team were amazing. From the moment we first walked in the door to make our initial inquiries to the day we dropped off to the day we picked up nothing was too much trouble. Jacky was extremely passionate and knowledgeable and so easy to deal with. The team were very particular in their work. Then there is the final product. An absolutely amazing result.
Tristan McSwain
Extremely happy with the service. Jacky is professional and has a wealth of knowledge. He is honest and actually cares for his customers AND their cars. Would highly recommend.
Anita Shoghi
Jacky and his team have a great eye for detail and did a great job on our new car. He took the time to go over after care thoroughly to ensure I understood it well. He clearly takes pride in his work and I would highly recommend.
Jacinta Kong
Jackie was super helpful from the very start. He was able to work his availability around my shift work roster. Perfect communication about products and price and fully transparent, no secret costs or upselling. Jackie obviously takes pride in his workmanship and it shows. Would recommend his services to anyone. For reference I had package 3 applied to a new vehicle and it looks better than the day I took delivery…

Edit on 19/07/2024: I bought a new car (picture added) and got an updated version of what I got with my i30N (now called Paint Protection Pack 4) with an upgrade on the tint. Same experience as before, so would again wholeheartedly recommend. Also my car feels so silky, its surreal. ### The short version: Bobby and Jacky are running an incredibly knowledgeable and professional business.

Judge any shop on the things that decide the result: inspection before quoting, staged machine correction under proper lights, deep interior work and an honest answer on what will not come out. That is how we work at our Mitcham workshop, about 49.5 km from Pakenham, and we are happy to show you finished cars before you book.
No. Every price is the same wherever you live. The quote depends on the car and the work, never the postcode.
Every job is done at our Mitcham workshop. Film, coatings and tint need clean indoor bays and proper lighting, which a driveway cannot give, and that is what our results depend on.
Machine polishing starts from $850. Interior and maintenance details are quoted on the car, and correction is quoted after inspection.
A maintenance detail is usually a day. Correction work runs one to three days depending on the paint.
