Services & Pricing

Express Wash

Quick exterior refresh + tire shine
(25–45 mins)

Platinum Shine

Hand-dried exterior, interior vacuum, and wax
(45–60 mins)

Fancy Mud Polish

Deep clean inside/out, clay bar treatment, and polish
(60–90 mins)

Absolutely! Larger vehicles (like LandCruisers or RAMs) take a bit longer, so pricing scales with size. Vintage cars get extra love—just ask for our “Classic Care” add-on.

Adventure mud is our love language! 🚙💨 Just give us a heads-up—we’ll bring out the heavy-duty gear. For safari-level messes, a small "Mud Tax" might apply (we’ll always chat with you first!)..

Fun fact: Our record is 12kg of mud removed from one 4WD! (We’re still finding red dirt in weird places…) 🌿

Nope! Basic bird-bomb removal is included. For stubborn messes (looking at you, tree sap), we’ll suggest a polish or clay bar treatment.

Go Full Detailing! It’s our superhero package for extreme messes. Heads up: Super muddy? A small “adventure surcharge” might apply (we’ll warn you first!).

Basic wash includes exterior cleaning, while premium wash includes additional services like interior washing vacuuming, tire shine, and waxing.

Big wheels = big love! 🚚💦 Washing SUVs, 4WDs, or tradie vans takes extra time, product, and TLC to reach every nook (we’re looking at you, mud-flap jungles!). But don’t worry—we keep it dirt-cheap (pun intended).

Why Size Matters

  • 2x the scrubbing: Roof racks, trays, and those sneaky wheel arches
  • 3x the suds: Extra shampoo for monster trucks (and monster messes)
  • 4x the drying: Hand-polished from bullbar to tailpipe
Record holder: A LandCruiser that needed 8 buckets of mud removed! 🏆 (We named it “The Redback Rescue”)
Fancy Mud Circle Hack: Get 20% off large vehicle washes with our 10-pack bundle!
(Perfect for tradies, caravan lovers, or mud magnet 4WDs) 🛠️

Adventurous messes (think: mud wrestling-level grime) need extra scrubbing magic. We’ll always chat first—no sneaky fees! Note: Coffee spills are freebies. 🌟

It’s a deep-clean marathon! We tackle every inch: shampoo carpets, condition leather, degrease engines, and even Q-tip your vents. Perfect for pre-sale prep or “I deserve this” moments.

Think of it as superhero duo for your car’s shine:

Wax: The Protector

Shields against UV rays, bird bombs, and Sydney’s salty coastal air
Like sunscreen for your car!

Polish: The Reviver

Buffs out light scratches + restoring your car paint’s natural sparkle
Erases "parking lot oops" moments

Dynamic Duo: Pair them for that "fresh-from-the-showroom" glow! ✨

Think of it as a detox for your car’s skin! 🌟 A clay bar treatment gently lifts embedded grime even washing misses—like industrial fallout, tree sap, and those mystery splatters that stick like gossip. The result? Paint so smooth, raindrops slide off crying tears of jealousy. 💧

Why Clay Bar Magic Matters

  • Detox Deep Dive: Removes contaminants regular washes leave behind
  • Silky Smooth Finish: Prepares paint for flawless waxing or ceramic coating
  • Long-Term Love: Prevents swirl marks and premature aging
  • Eco-Friendly: Our clay bars are reusable and chemical-free
Fun fact: A single clay bar can decontaminate 50+ cars before retiring! ♻️ (We call them “pocket-sized paint paramedics”) 🚑
Glow-Up Deal: Book a Full Detail (includes clay bar + polish + wax) online and save $35!
Perfect for pre-road trips, selling your car, or just feeling fancy AF 🚗✨

Pre-Wash Prep

Remove loose items like snacks, gym bags, or kiddo toys from seats, floor mats, and door pockets. Let us know about any scratches or special requests upfront—we’ll treat your car like our own!

Yes, but only the loose stuff! We’d hate for your gym socks or road-trip snacks to turn into muddy surprises. Pop your valuables in the boot or take them with you—our crew will focus on the sparkle, not your secret chocolate stash.

Psst! Need help with prams, golf clubs, or other bulky items? Just ask—we’ve got muscle and bubble wrap! 🛠️

No worries! Just let us know about accessories upfront. We’ll handle them with care (and maybe whisper sweet nothings to your spoiler).
