Specialist Detailing, Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating
What Does Your Vehicle Actually Need?
Not every vehicle needs the same amount of work – and not every detail delivers the same result.
Before comparing detailing packages by price, there’s a more important question:
What does your vehicle actually need to achieve the result you’re expecting?
A well-maintained vehicle may only need several hours of cleaning and protection. Another may require a full day of interior and exterior work. Paint correction can require multiple days. A properly prepared ceramic coating installation can occupy the workshop for several days again.
They’re all called “car detailing”.
But they’re not the same job.
That’s why at Custom Car Care Wagga, we don’t start by asking which package you’d like to buy.
We start with your vehicle.
What’s its current condition? What needs improving? What needs protecting? And most importantly, what result are you actually looking for?
The answers determine the work required.
Our services range from half-day maintenance detailing and complete interior and exterior detailing through to multi-stage paint correction and comprehensive ceramic coating treatments requiring several days in the workshop.
We don’t recommend a service simply from the age, kilometres or type of vehicle.
We look at what you’re starting with – and what you’re trying to achieve.
Not sure which package you need? Tell us about your vehicle and the result you’re looking for, and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Before You Compare Detailing Prices, Compare What’s Actually Being Done
It’s easy to compare two detailing services by looking at the price.
What’s harder to see is how much skilled work is actually included for that price.
How much workshop time is being allocated to the vehicle?
How thoroughly is the interior being cleaned?
Is the paint being decontaminated?
Is it being machine polished – and if so, what level of polishing?
Are paint defects actually being corrected?
Is the engine bay included?
What protection is being applied?
If ceramic coating is involved, what preparation happens before the coating is applied?
Those differences matter because the finished result depends on the work that happens before you collect the vehicle.
Our services are priced around the time, skill and workshop processes required to perform the work properly. Our standard workshop rate is $125 per hour including GST.
Vehicle condition matters too.
Heavy soiling, pet hair, sand, staining, contamination or neglected paintwork can require substantially more labour. Even brand-new vehicles can require additional paint preparation before ceramic coating.
That’s why we assess the vehicle in front of us rather than assuming what it needs based on its age or kilometres.
A Cheaper Detail Isn’t Necessarily the Same Detail for Less Money
A lower price can certainly be achieved by reducing the time, preparation or processes involved.
But you’re not necessarily buying the same job for less money. You’re buying less of the job.
A half-day Maintenance Detail isn’t a full-day Premium Detail performed faster.
A single-stage enhancement polish isn’t a two-stage paint correction at a lower price.
And applying ceramic coating isn’t the same as properly preparing, correcting, coating and curing the paintwork.
They’re different levels of work designed to achieve different results.
That’s why simply asking “How much for a detail?” doesn’t tell you very much until you understand what’s actually included.
At Custom Car Care Wagga, we’d rather determine what your vehicle actually needs, explain the work involved, allocate the appropriate workshop time and price that work properly.
Because cutting the price by cutting the process might make the quote look better.
It doesn’t make the result better.
Professional Detailing. Properly Priced. No Rushed Jobs.
Every package below represents a defined level of workshop time, preparation, workmanship and expected result.
As you move through the packages, you’re not simply paying more for a more expensive version of the same detail.
You’re increasing the amount and level of work being performed on the vehicle.
That distinction matters when comparing our services – and when comparing them with anybody else’s.
Compare the work. Compare the process. Compare the result you’re actually paying for. Then compare the price.
Current Availability
We are currently fully booked until Tuesday 10 November 2026.

Professional Enhancement Machine Polish
The machine polishing included in our Premium Detail is a professional enhancement process designed to improve paint gloss, clarity and overall appearance while reducing minor surface imperfections.
We use an advanced one-step polishing formulation containing no glazes or fillers. Using premium modern abrasives, it combines effective cutting ability with an exceptionally refined finish, allowing us to genuinely improve the appearance of the paint rather than temporarily hiding defects.
The result is genuine improvement in gloss and clarity – not an artificial finish created by fillers that simply wash away.
This is not a dedicated paint correction service and is not intended to remove deeper scratches, significant swirl marks, water spot etching or substantial paint defects.
Vehicles requiring a higher level of defect removal and paint refinement are better suited to our Level 2 Correction & Refinement service.
Ideal for: Vehicles requiring a complete interior and exterior refresh, thorough decontamination and a noticeable improvement in the overall appearance of the paintwork.
Level 2 Correction & Refinement
DEDICATED TWO-STAGE PAINT CORRECTION
From $1800
Minimum 2-Day Process
Our Level 2 Correction & Refinement is our most popular dedicated paint correction service and the appropriate choice for the majority of vehicles requiring professional correction beyond the enhancement machine polish included in our Premium Detail.
This comprehensive two-stage machine correction and refinement process is designed to remove or significantly reduce the majority of visible paint defects while dramatically improving gloss, depth, clarity and overall finish.
Unlike temporary glazes or fillers that simply mask defects, this process physically corrects the paintwork to produce a genuine and lasting improvement.
Typical Defects Addressed
- Moderate swirl marks and wash-induced marring
- Light to medium clear coat scratches
- Water spot etching
- Holograms and previous machine polishing marks
- Dull, hazy or lifeless paintwork
- General paint defects accumulated through washing and everyday use
Stage 1 – Cutting/Compounding
The paintwork is machine corrected using the appropriate combination of professional polishing equipment, pads and compounds selected specifically for the vehicle’s paint system and condition.
This stage performs the primary defect removal and restores clarity to the paintwork.
Stage 2 – Polishing/Refinement
A dedicated refining stage follows the initial correction process to remove compounding haze, further refine the finish and maximise gloss, depth and clarity.
The result is a significantly cleaner, sharper and more refined paint finish while preserving the integrity of the vehicle’s clear coat.
What’s Included
- Thorough exterior wash and preparation
- Chemical and mechanical paint decontamination
- Paintwork inspection and assessment
- Two-stage machine paint correction and refinement
- Removal or significant reduction of the majority of visible paint defects
- Final paint protection
- Wheels, tyres and exterior trims detailed
- Exterior glass cleaned
- Final inspection and finishing
From $1800
Final pricing is determined by vehicle size, paint condition and the level of correction required.
Please note: Level 2 Correction & Refinement is primarily an exterior paint correction service. Clients wanting complete interior detailing combined with paint correction and professional ceramic coating should consider our Ultimate Detail.
Ideal for: Vehicles with moderate swirl marks, scratches, wash damage, holograms or other paint defects where a substantial improvement in paint condition is required without progressing to our highest level of restoration.
Ultimate Detail
PROFESSIONAL PAINT CORRECTION & CERAMIC COATING PACKAGE
A complete vehicle detail combined with professional paint correction and long-term Modesta ceramic protection.
The Ultimate Detail includes everything in our Premium Detail, combined with Level 2 Paint Correction & Refinement to properly prepare the paintwork for the application of a professional Modesta BC-X ceramic coating to the exterior paintwork/plastics

Paint Correction
Every vehicle receives the minimum level of paint correction we require before installing a Modesta ceramic coating.
The amount of correction required varies depending on the vehicle’s age, paint type and condition.
Our objective is to produce a properly corrected and refined finish suitable for ceramic coating rather than simply polishing the vehicle and applying a coating over existing defects.
For vehicles requiring extensive restoration and our highest level of safe defect removal, our Signature Restoration Detail is the appropriate service.
Upgrade Options
- Premium Modesta paint coating systems
- Wheels-off detailing and ceramic wheel coating
- Brake caliper ceramic coating

Signature Restoration Detail
OUR HIGHEST LEVEL OF DETAILING, PAINT CORRECTION & CERAMIC PROTECTION
From $6500
The Signature Restoration Detail represents the highest level of workmanship offered by Custom Car Care Wagga – a comprehensive, multi-day vehicle restoration for owners seeking an exceptional standard of detailing, paint correction and long-term ceramic protection.
Typically requiring 50–70+ hours of specialist hands-on work over approximately two weeks, each Signature Restoration is approached individually, with the time and processes dictated by the vehicle rather than a predetermined production schedule.
Wheels are removed, the vehicle is comprehensively detailed inside and out, paintwork undergoes our highest level of Level 3 multi-stage correction and refinement, and multiple surfaces are professionally prepared and protected with Modesta ceramic coatings.
This isn’t simply a detail. It’s a complete vehicle overhaul.
Pricing
Cars — from $6,500
Small SUVs — from $6,500
Full Size SUVs / 4WDs — from $6,500
Final pricing is determined following vehicle inspection and depends on the vehicle’s size, age, condition and level of restoration required.
What’s Included
- Complete interior deep clean and shampoo
- Complete exterior detail and decontamination
- Engine bay detail
- Wheels removed and detailed inside and out
- Wheel arches and accessible suspension components detailed
- Brake calipers cleaned and prepared
- Level 3 multi-stage paint correction

Level 3 Paint Correction
This package includes our highest level of paint correction, using multiple cutting, refining and finishing stages where required.
The objective is to achieve the highest level of correction safely possible, dramatically improving paint clarity, gloss and depth while preserving the integrity of the paintwork.
The multi-stage paint correction and refinement process alone can require up to five full days of specialist work, depending on the condition, complexity and paint system of the vehicle.
Why the Signature Restoration Detail Starts From $6,500
The Signature Restoration Detail isn’t an arbitrary premium price. It reflects the extraordinary amount of specialist time, experience and hands-on workmanship dedicated to a single vehicle.
This service is designed for vehicles requiring far more than conventional detailing or paint correction – particularly vehicles with severe paint defects, significant fading or oxidation, and years of accumulated environmental contamination and deterioration – combined with our highest level of Modesta ceramic protection.
It’s about taking a vehicle that requires an extensive exterior restoration process, reversing years of deterioration wherever possible, then protecting the restored finish with our top-tier ceramic coating system.
That level of restoration takes time. Heavy contamination may need to be removed progressively, faded and weathered surfaces restored where possible, and severely defective paintwork corrected and refined through multiple stages before long-term protection can even be considered.
Years of exposure can’t be properly reversed in a day or two.
We’ve completed nearly a dozen restorations at this level over the years, and the finished vehicles and results speak for themselves. What photographs don’t always convey are the 50–70+ hours of skilled work that can be required to achieve them.
A Signature Restoration can occupy our workshop for eight or more working days, with paint correction and refinement alone potentially requiring up to five full days.
This isn’t simply a more expensive detail. It’s a fundamentally different level of work.
Extensive cleaning and decontamination. Wheels-off detailing. Wheel arches, suspension and areas conventional detailing doesn’t reach. Multi-stage paint correction and refinement. Comprehensive Modesta ceramic protection. And meticulous attention to the smaller details that collectively determine the finished result.
At this level, we’re not trying to fit the vehicle into a predetermined number of hours.
We’re giving the vehicle the time the work requires.
For this level of service to exist, the time, expertise and workshop capacity involved must be properly reflected in the price.
We won’t rush the process, reduce the work involved or compromise the result simply to reach a lower price. If the work can’t be performed properly and sustainably, we would rather not offer it at all.
The Signature Restoration Detail is deliberately an exclusive specialist service. It isn’t intended for every vehicle, every client or every budget.
It’s for owners who want their vehicle given the highest level of individual attention and workmanship Custom Car Care Wagga offers.
50–70+ Hours. One Vehicle. No Shortcuts.
Allow approximately a two-week turnaround, giving us the time to work through each stage properly rather than forcing the vehicle through the workshop to an artificial deadline.
Ideal for: Vehicles with severe paint defects, fading, oxidation or years of accumulated contamination; enthusiast and classic vehicles; collectible or special vehicles; long-term ownership vehicles; and much-loved vehicles whose owners want to restore, protect and preserve them rather than simply give them another detail.
World-class detailing. Master craftsmanship. Results that speak for themselves.

Booking Terms & Conditions
Please read the following before booking your vehicle with Custom Car Care Wagga.
By booking a service with us, you acknowledge and accept the following terms and conditions.
Pricing & Vehicle Condition
All prices displayed include GST and are based on vehicles of typical size and condition for the selected service.
Our detailing packages are calculated around the time, labour and level of work allocated to each service, based on our standard workshop rate of $125 per hour including GST.
Vehicle size, condition and the amount of labour required may affect the final price.
Additional charges may apply for excessive pet hair, sand, staining, biological contamination, tobacco residue, broken glass, vermin contamination or other conditions requiring substantially more labour than normally included in the selected service.
Where additional work is identified during an inspection, this will be discussed before the work proceeds.
For larger, restoration or specialist jobs, a vehicle inspection may be required before a final quotation and booking can be provided.
Payment
All work must be paid in full upon completion and before the vehicle leaves our premises, unless a prior payment arrangement has been agreed to before the work commences.
We do not offer accounts or payment at a later date. Please do not request an account when collecting your vehicle.
Payment can be made by card, cash or bank transfer. Bank transfers can be completed at the workshop using the bank details provided on your invoice.
Please do not request or expect a discount for paying in cash. All work performed by Custom Car Care Wagga is invoiced correctly and includes GST.
We operate a professional, registered business and comply with our taxation and reporting obligations to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The payment method used does not alter the invoiced price of the service.

Choosing the Correct Service
Our detailing packages have clearly defined levels of work and allocated workshop time.
A Maintenance Detail cannot provide the same result as a Premium Detail, just as a Premium Detail cannot provide the level of paint correction and restoration included in our Ultimate or Signature Restoration services or one of our Paint Correction Services.
If a vehicle’s condition is beyond the reasonable scope of the service booked, we reserve the right to recommend an upgraded service, adjust the quotation or decline the work.
For example, heavily deteriorated, oxidised, scratched or faded paintwork may not be suitable for the Enhancement Machine Polishing included in a Premium Detail and may require professional paint correction.
Results & Expectations
Detailing can significantly improve the condition and presentation of a vehicle, but it cannot reverse all forms of age, wear or permanent damage.
Some scratches, paint defects, staining, discolouration, deterioration, corrosion, stone chips, worn materials and previous damage may remain after detailing.
Paint correction is always performed with consideration for the condition and integrity of the existing paintwork. We will not unnecessarily compromise paint thickness or durability simply to pursue complete defect removal.
Our objective is always to achieve the best safe and realistic result within the scope and time allocated to the service booked.
Additional Work
Work outside the scope of the booked service is not automatically included.
Where additional work, labour or specialist treatment is required, we will discuss this with you and obtain approval before undertaking work that will result in additional charges.
Personal Belongings
Please remove all personal belongings, valuables, child seats and unnecessary items from the vehicle before it is presented for detailing.
We cannot be responsible for personal items left inside the vehicle.
Items remaining in compartments, storage areas or the cargo area may prevent those areas from being fully detailed.
Vehicle Adjustments
During the detailing process, it may be necessary to adjust:
- Seats
- Steering wheel position
- Interior and exterior mirrors
- Climate controls
- Windows
- Other vehicle controls required to safely access, clean or move the vehicle
These adjustments are a normal part of the detailing process and may not be returned to their original positions.
Pre-Existing Damage
Vehicles may contain existing scratches, chips, dents, cracks, loose trims, damaged plastics, deteriorated coatings, failing paint, worn interior materials or other defects that become more noticeable once the vehicle has been thoroughly cleaned.
Custom Car Care Wagga is not responsible for pre-existing damage, deterioration or defects that were present before work commenced.
Where we identify a significant concern before or during the service, we may photograph it and discuss it with you.
CCTV & Workshop Security
Our car park, workshop entrances, work areas, reception and office are monitored by time-stamped HD CCTV surveillance.
This provides an ongoing record of vehicles while they are within our premises and assists with the security of our customers, vehicles and business.
Dash Cameras & Recording Equipment
To protect the privacy of our workplace, staff and customers, Custom Car Care Wagga reserves the right to disconnect, switch off or cover dash cameras and other audio or video recording equipment while a vehicle is being serviced.
Our own CCTV system will continue to monitor the vehicle while it is on our premises.
Bookings, Cancellations & Deposits
Some services, particularly multi-day paint correction and ceramic coating packages, may require a booking deposit to secure workshop time.
Where a deposit is required, the applicable deposit and cancellation conditions will be advised before the booking is confirmed.
Please provide as much notice as possible if you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment. Large detailing and coating bookings can reserve several days or even weeks of workshop capacity specifically for one vehicle.
Completion Times
Any completion or collection time provided is an estimate based on the expected condition of the vehicle and work required.
Unexpected vehicle condition, additional authorised work or circumstances outside our reasonable control may extend the completion time.
Our priority is completing the agreed work correctly rather than rushing a vehicle to meet an unrealistic deadline.
Right to Refuse Service
Custom Car Care Wagga reserves the right to decline work where we believe the requested service is unsuitable for the vehicle, could compromise the finished result, or cannot reasonably meet the customer’s expectations.
We also reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service to anyone engaging in abusive, aggressive, threatening, intimidating or disrespectful behaviour toward our staff or business.
We are committed to maintaining a professional and respectful environment for everyone.
Acceptance of Terms
By confirming a booking and leaving your vehicle with Custom Car Care Wagga, you acknowledge that you have selected or approved the agreed service, understand its scope and pricing and accept these Booking Terms & Conditions.
