Everything You Need to Know

What does a full car detail include?

A full car detail typically includes both interior and exterior detailing. This means vacuuming, steam cleaning, and deodorising the cabin; followed by an exterior hand wash, clay bar treatment, paint decontamination, polishing, and wax or ceramic protection. At Distinct Details, we tailor each full detail to your vehicle’s condition and finish goals.

Most vehicles benefit from a professional detail every 4 to 6 months. However, if your car is exposed to harsh sunlight, red dirt, coastal air, or pets and kids — more frequent maintenance detailing can preserve the paintwork and interior condition long-term.

A car wash focuses on a quick clean, usually just the exterior. In contrast, detailing is a deep-clean and surface restoration process that targets stubborn grime, faded paint, and minor scratches. It includes premium tools and techniques not found in your typical drive-through wash.

Yes — Distinct Details is a fully mobile car detailing service based in Perth, operating across northern suburbs including Malaga, Balcatta, Joondalup and more. We come to your home, worksite, or marina — fully equipped and with no compromise on quality.

Absolutely. Regular detailing maintains your vehicle’s appearance and condition, which increases curb appeal and buyer confidence. Vehicles that are well-presented often sell faster and for a better price, especially when paint and interiors are cared for properly.

Do you clean leather and fabric interiors?

Yes, we clean and condition leather, cloth, suede, and Alcantara interiors using safe, professional-grade products. Steam cleaning and gentle agitation lift dirt and oils without damaging sensitive surfaces. Leather is then conditioned to stay supple and crack-free.

We specialise in pet hair removal and deep deodorisation. Using commercial vacuums, brushes, and neutralising sprays, we eliminate stubborn hair and unwanted smells caused by pets, spills, or mildew — leaving your cabin fresh and allergen-free.

Our exterior detailing includes foam pre-soak, hand wash, clay bar, iron fallout removal, machine polishing, and wax or ceramic coating. We correct minor paint defects and protect against future environmental damage with high-quality sealants and coatings.

Yes — we offer engine bay detailing that removes dust, grease, and grime from all accessible components. We use low-pressure steam and safe degreasers to clean without damaging wiring or sensitive parts, improving aesthetics and resale value.

Detailing can improve or fully remove light surface scratches and swirl marks through paint correction techniques like machine polishing. While deep gouges may require repainting, many common imperfections can be dramatically reduced during a full exterior detail.

Do you detail SUVs and 4WDs?

Yes — we specialise in 4WD and SUV detailing, perfect for vehicles exposed to mud, red dirt, or off-road wear. Services include underbody cleaning, chassis coating, and full interior rejuvenation, ideal for daily drivers and recreational vehicles alike.

Absolutely. We provide motorcycle detailing for cruisers, sport bikes, and custom builds. Services include chrome polishing, plastic restoration, engine degreasing, and hand waxing — all done with extreme care to highlight your ride’s finish and features.

Yes — Distinct Details offers detailing for boats, jet skis, caravans, and RVs. We remove salt, grime, oxidation, and mildew inside and out. From hull polishing to awning cleaning and UV protection, we prep your recreational vehicle for water or road.

We detail trucks, trailers, utes, and heavy machinery, with flexible scheduling and volume pricing for fleet and commercial clients. From acid-washing chassis to degreasing cabins and applying protective coatings, we help keep your business vehicles presentation-ready.

We detail everything from motorcycles to prime movers and excavators. For large or specialty equipment, we provide custom quotes based on condition, size, and location. If you’re unsure — just ask and we’ll advise the best package.

What is paint protection film (PPF)?

Paint protection film is a clear, self-healing urethane layer applied over your paintwork to guard against stone chips, light scratches, and environmental damage. While we don’t apply PPF directly, we offer Icon Rocklear — a more advanced, longer-lasting alternative.

Ceramic coating chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint, creating a slick, hydrophobic surface. It repels water, dirt, and UV rays, making maintenance easier and keeping your vehicle glossy for longer. We use only premium-grade coatings.

Yes — especially for newer vehicles. Paint protection helps prevent fading, oxidation, and surface damage, reducing long-term maintenance costs and boosting resale value. It’s a must-have for coastal, high-sun, or off-road conditions.

Durability varies by product. Our standard ceramic coatings last 1–3 years, while Icon Rocklear offers up to 15 years of guaranteed protection — making it one of the longest-lasting solutions on the market today.

Yes — but we first perform paint correction to remove existing swirls and oxidation, then seal it with protection. Even older cars and classics benefit from coatings that enhance gloss, protect value, and simplify future cleaning.
