Cut, Polish & Paint Correction in Ballina

Machine polishing that removes the swirl marks, oxidation and light scratches dulling your paint, then locks the result in with a protective layer.

Quoted individually1-2 daysBallina & Northern RiversFully insured

What is included

  • Full decontamination wash and clay treatment
  • Paint depth and condition assessed before any cutting
  • Machine compounding to remove defects
  • Refining polish for clarity and gloss
  • Panel wipe to reveal the true, honest finish
  • Protective wax, sealant or coating to finish

What you actually get out of it

Colour comes back with depth and reflection instead of the flat, hazy look that swirl marks leave behind.

Why the price is a range

Two identical cars can need completely different work. A polish & wax on a well-kept vehicle sits at the bottom of the range; the same job on something that has carried dogs, kids and beach sand for three years sits at the top. Photos settle it in minutes, which is why Jayden asks for them before quoting rather than after.

Priced per vehicle

Quoted from photos

This work depends entirely on the condition of the paint, so a headline price would be a guess. Photos and a short call give you a figure that holds.

Common questions

How much does car detailing cost in Ballina?
Jayden publishes his prices, which most detailers do not. A Basic Detail is $110 for a small car, $130 large and $140 extra large. A Full Detail — the complete inside-and-out reset most people mean by detailing — is $180, $200 and $220. An Extreme Detail, for vehicles that have been genuinely lived in, is $300, $350 and $400. Interior-only work starts at $150 and exterior-only at $220. Cut and polish and ceramic coating are quoted individually, because the price depends on the condition of the paint rather than the size of the car.
How long does a full car detail take?
A Basic Detail takes two to three hours and a Full Detail three to five. An Extreme Detail is usually a full day, because the interior work is the slow part. A cut and polish is a one to two day job since the paint is corrected in stages, and ceramic coating runs two to three days because the coating has to cure before the car goes back on the road.
Why do you need photos before quoting?
Because condition drives the price far more than the make and model does. Two identical cars can need completely different work depending on how they have been used and cared for. A few clear photos let Jayden quote accurately the first time, instead of guessing on the phone and then revising the price when the car arrives.
How do I book, and how far ahead should I be?
Send photos and request a quote call, and Jayden will confirm a price and a date. Because only a small number of vehicles are detailed each day, the diary does fill, particularly before holidays and before a sale or trade-in. A week of notice is comfortable; less than that is often still possible, so it is always worth asking.
