What Alstonville does to a car

The Alstonville plateau is greener, cooler and wetter than the coast, and that shows up on paint in a specific way. Big figs and camphor laurels drop sap that bonds hard to clear coat, and the macadamia and avocado country around town means more organic fallout than you get closer to Ballina. Bore water is the one most people miss: washing at home with untreated bore water leaves mineral spotting that can etch into the surface if it dries in the sun.

Farm utes and 4WDs alongside ordinary family cars, most washed at home with tank or bore water.

What we usually recommend here

Decontamination and a proper protective layer make the biggest difference here, because a sealed surface stops sap and mineral spotting keying into the paint.

Getting the car to us, or us to you

Three ways this works, and the right one depends on the job rather than the postcode. Most Alstonville customers drop the car at Ballina, 15 minutes away, because polishing and coating want controlled light and a controlled environment. If that does not suit your day, Jayden can collect the vehicle and return it. For maintenance work, mobile detailing at your home or workplace is straightforward.

Booking from Alstonville

Send photos of the vehicle, pick a 30-minute call between 7am and 7pm any day, and Jayden will confirm a price and a date. Only 4 cars a day get booked in, so the diary does move, particularly before holidays and before a sale.
