Question 1

How much does mobile car detailing cost in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

ReLuxe mobile car detailing in Melbourne starts from $150 for our Express exterior detail, $250 for the Premium full detail, and ceramic coating packages from $899. Final pricing depends on your vehicle's size and condition.

Question 2

What is included in a full car detail?

Accepted Answer

A full car detail includes a thorough exterior hand wash and decontamination, interior vacuum and steam cleaning, leather conditioning, glass cleaning, wheel and tyre detailing, and a protective wax or sealant finish. Premium details add clay bar treatment and engine bay cleaning.

Question 3

Is ceramic coating worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection against UV, contaminants and minor scratches while delivering a deep, liquid-metal gloss that wax can't match. It reduces how often your car needs washing and helps preserve resale value.

Question 4

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

Our professional ceramic coatings last up to 5 years when correctly maintained, thanks to multi-layer application and a durable hydrophobic formula that resists water, dirt and chemicals.

Question 5

How often should I detail my car?

Accepted Answer

For most vehicles we recommend a full detail every 3 to 6 months, with a maintenance wash in between. Cars exposed to harsh weather, daily commuting or long-term outdoor parking benefit from more frequent care.

Question 6

What is the difference between a car wash and detailing?

Accepted Answer

A car wash removes surface dirt quickly. Detailing is a thorough restoration and protection process. It decontaminates paint, conditions leather, cleans every crevice, and applies protective coatings for a like-new finish.

Question 7

Do you come to my home or workplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. ReLuxe is a fully mobile detailing service. We travel to your home, office or apartment car park across Melbourne CBD and the Eastern Suburbs, so your vehicle is detailed without you leaving.

Question 8

How long does a detail take?

Accepted Answer

An Express exterior takes around 1.5 hours, a Premium full detail 3 to 4 hours, and ceramic coating with paint correction takes 1 to 2 days depending on vehicle size and paint condition.

Question 9

Do you need access to power or water?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We require access to a standard power point and a water tap at your location to run our equipment and complete the detail to a professional standard.

Question 10

Can you remove stains and odours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our interior detailing includes steam cleaning, stain treatment and odour neutralising to lift embedded dirt, spills and lingering smells from carpets, seats and upholstery.

Question 11

Is paint correction permanent?

Accepted Answer

Paint correction permanently removes swirl marks, light scratches and oxidation from the clear coat. To keep the finish flawless we recommend protecting it with a ceramic coating or sealant and maintaining it with proper wash techniques.

Question 12

How long does paint correction take?

Accepted Answer

A single-stage paint correction is usually completed in around half a day, while multi-stage correction on larger or heavily swirled vehicles can take one to two days. We confirm the exact timeframe when you book, based on your vehicle's size and paint condition.

Question 13

How do I maintain my ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Maintain your ceramic coating with regular touchless or two-bucket hand washes using pH-neutral shampoo, avoid automatic car washes, and book a maintenance detail every 6 to 12 months to refresh the hydrophobic layer.

Question 14

Do you detail luxury vehicles?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We specialise in luxury and high-performance vehicles, using paint-safe techniques and premium products trusted on high-end finishes. We also welcome everyday cars with the same level of care.

Question 15

What areas do you service?

Accepted Answer

ReLuxe services Melbourne CBD and the Eastern Suburbs, including surrounding areas. As a fully mobile detailer we come to your home or workplace across greater Melbourne.
