Why O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing? What separates us?

Who is behind O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing?

“Hi, I’m Ethan, the owner of O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing. I’ve lived here on the Sunshine Coast since I was 3 years of age and have always had a strong passion for all things auto. Cars have always had a special place in my heart, and I love looking after them. I have spent more time than I’d like to admit looking after my own car, currently a 1999 Subaru Impreza WRX. I meticulously wash it most weekends, and always make sure that the paint glows and that the interior is in tidy condition. I hate when it’s dirty! I’ve spent a lot of time sourcing my ideal pick of detailing products, and have field tested all of them on the cars I’ve owned. If they’re good enough for my cars, they’re good enough for my clients’ cars as well.

My hobby of being a weekend car detailer eventually turned into a ‘what if’ scenario. “What if I started my own detailing business and used my knowledge and expertise to help other people keep their cars clean and maintained?” I got started and the business took off, replacing my job within a short time. Since then, I have been consistently honing in on my craft, getting better at what I do every day. I have patience and high attention to detail when it comes to cars, and it’s been very enjoyable watching this elevate alongside my skillsets.

My true passion lies in luxury and performance cars, where brands come together to bring their finest to the world. To help fill a need for people who own such vehicles is an honour and nothing makes me happier than having the privilege of working on these cars. Having a passion for car photography has helped me to get closer to high-end vehicles, much of which is featured here. I’m looking forward to helping even more people in the future and delivering clean, enhanced vehicles.”

Why is it important to have your car detailed?

Bring back clean transportation for you and your family.

Your vehicle is one of your most heavily-used possessions and as with all parts of life, when things get used, they need to be cleaned. Cars transport your family, friends, pets and groceries in a small and confined space. Add that to the dirt and germs on shoes, bacteria build-up from hands, bodily sweat and food crumbs, and your car is a recipe for hygienic disaster when left untouched.

O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing recognises this and works hard to ensure that the entirety of your car is properly tidied up. Our mobile Sunshine Coast detailing services will leave surfaces germ-free, refreshed, shiny and smelling great again. Who doesn’t like the sound of that?

We also recognise the satisfaction that comes with having a tidy car; it’s simply confidence-inspiring and makes one proud of what they own. We always like to think that there is a clean car hiding under all of the dust and grime, and it’s our job to bring it out! You can book car detailing online using our easy quote form, or you can give our friendly team a call to discuss your options.

How come Sunshine Coast car detailing can take so long and be so expensive?

Comprehensive detailing results take time.

Car detailing can be a long and arduous process, particularly when the vehicle hasn’t been maintained and is in for more of a “resurrection” type detail. The associated costs that can come with a high-level detail are due to the amount of parts that a car has. Every car has four wheels, the same exterior parts, windows, seats, interior trims, a dashboard, carpet (most of the time), and plenty of other nooks and crannies that require meticulous attention to detail to get clean. While having a professional car detail does allow for a much faster process with better results, there’s no getting around the fact that a detail is going to take some time to get done properly.

Quality detailing is well worth the cost.

Sure, there are some detailers who prioritise time efficiency and value, who will get the job done quite quickly. When comparing apples to apples, however, to do a thorough job that meets a high standard and quality requires time, and sometimes lots of it. More time spent equals a higher labour cost, which can see the price of a detail rise significantly depending on the type of detailing work being done and the level of transformation required.

Sometimes high-end sports cars and supercars can sometimes incur higher costs and longer timeframes to clean due to their complexity and build quality. You may find a roll cage where the back seats should be, complex wheel designs, large brake calipers, aero and spoilers, as well as delicate materials that require special care and chemicals to treat.

Professional results make a massive difference and are long-lasting.

The amount of labour involved with a thorough detail is not for nothing, however. Oftentimes a car detail, particularly interior-focused, involves removing years of gradually built-up filth and grime that detracts from the overall appearance of the vehicle. Particularly here on the Sunshine Coast, where sand, salt and humidity is aplenty, it doesn’t always take long for the elements to take their toll on a vehicle.

When a car detail is finished, the results truly speak for themselves. It never fails to amaze us how good a car can look once its been restored to a clean, high standard that can be enjoyed for years to come. There are significant benefits to enjoy with a professional car detail.

Your detail can oftentimes pay for itself.

When it comes to resale, a thoroughly detailed car can add literal thousands of dollars in value, as well as attract potential buyers into purchasing a newly-tidied up car. Mobile paint correction and ceramic vehicle coating is a fantastic way to ensure that you’re getting the maximum resale amount for your car. Not only is increased value a positive factor, but it’s also an act of courtesy to restore a car to its best condition before passing it on to the next owner to enjoy.

Why should you get your car regularly maintained?

Total peace of mind.

There’s no better feeling than picking up your brand new car from the dealership, or buying a freshly detailed car from a private seller. Everything is tidy, smells nice, and is, well, clean. There’s something that we as people thoroughly enjoy about having clean possessions that are in good and tidy working order. It truly makes us appreciate it all that much more, and motivates us to take better care of it. When something gets to a certain level of dirtiness, it’s simply less appealing and not as inviting as it used to be. The benefits a clean car have on a person’s mental state is quite incredible.

Instead of embarrassment and perhaps even shame about the state of their car, they become proud of what they own and enjoy driving it all the more. So, why are there so many dirty cars around if having a clean one feels so good? The root cause comes down to a few factors: people lack an understanding of how to properly take care of their car, they lack the motivation, or just simply can’t be bothered.

Bring back the concept of looking after things.

This is where O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing sees a niche that needs to be filled; proper, high-quality attention to detail and cleanliness that most car owners once experienced and want to experience again. We also understand that if more people understood what it took to maintain a car to a respectable standard, we would see a lot less filthy cars getting around town. We’ve taken the time to write a comprehensive blog section that aims to educate readers on the basic principles of using proper cleaning techniques and products, whilst being time-friendly and not breaking the bank. Even though we’re only a Sunshine Coast detailing small business, we believe that small pockets of value and education go a long way to helping the general public.

Professional-level cleanliness, all the time.

But what if you’d just rather hand it all over to a detailing professional to look after? No problem! That’s where our detailing services and passion for all things cars truly shines. When we say we love cars, we really love cars. There’s nothing we would like more than to restore your pride and joy to its former glory, using our market and product research, expertise and high attention to detail to transform your vehicle.

To maximise the advantages of having your car detailed, we recommend enquiring about a car detailing maintenance plan with us. A maintenance plan involves a routine clean with the main goal to keep your car looking as fresh as when it got its initial detail. Common Sunshine Coast car detailing maintenance schedules with our existing customers are every 2, 3 and 4 weeks for best results. With our experience, we personally recommend keeping to a maximum once-a-month timeframe to ensure cleanliness and to avoid higher costs involved with getting the car back to a clean state.

What’s involved with our car maintenance cleaning?

A maintenance program with O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing includes the following after an initial detail:

- Wheels, tyres, brake calipers and wheel arches thoroughly cleaned.

- Foam cannon pre-rinse and two-bucket hand wash with premium shampoo.

- Premium, high-gloss sealant applied every 6 months, with sacrificial topper sealant applied each wash to maximise base sealant longevity.

- Door jambs flushed.

- Premium tyre dressing applied.

- Interior trims refreshed.

- Glossy interior trims treated with high-gloss lubricant, greatly improving scratch resistance and having anti-static properties that reject dust.

- Thorough interior vacuum and rubbish removal.

- Windows cleaned.

- Seats wiped and refreshed.

With these steps in place, we guarantee you’ll be amazed. We have enjoyed high success with our curated maintenance program, with many first-time clients subscribing to a routine clean schedule. This is particularly advantageous if you have just purchased the car or just looking to keep it in top-level condition.

What benefits can I expect from this?

There are so many benefits you can expect with having your car regularly detailed.

You will experience, and enjoy:

- High level of pride and satisfaction with having a professional-grade, clean vehicle.

- Increased resale value associated with having a well-maintained vehicle throughout ownership.

- A consistently clean car, with no effort required on your part.

- Incredibly glossy paint and extreme water-beading capabilities on paintwork and glass.

- Fresh-smelling interior and high-gloss trim pieces that scratch less easily.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

How long does car detailing take?

This can vary significantly depending on the car, its age and the condition it is in. For the average, mid-sized vehicle, expect 6 - 7 hours for a full inside-and-out car detail (excluding paint correction, paint protection and other premium-level additions). Submitting a quote request will allow us to provide you with an accurate estimate.

How much does car detailing cost?

Once again, this is a variable that can be quite different car-to-car, and depends on the age and condition. There are so many factors that come into play when it comes to someone’s vehicle. Not to mention all of the many intricate areas and materials present that each require unique attention and understanding. For the most accurate price, we highly recommend taking a look at our services, submitting a quote request or calling us to obtain a price for your vehicle. Please also understand that this is a sight-unseen quote. Prices may always be subject to change depending on the overall condition of the car.

Is it worth getting my car detailed before selling?

Absolutely. A properly detailed car will increase the value by the thousands depending on the car, and is more likely to sell quickly on the market. People like to know that you’ve cared for your car! A detailed car will also provide the next owner with a fresh slate.

What products does O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing use?

We have tried and tested many different chemicals and products on the market, and have found a combination of Bowden’s Own, Autoglym Professional, Nv Car Care and Gtechniq to be the best. We use these products in complete confidence on our own vehicles because we believe if they’re good enough for ours, they’re good enough for yours.

Should I put my car onto a maintenance program?

Absolutely! We couldn’t recommend a car maintenance cleaning routine enough.  This allows you to experience a fresh, clean car on a repeated basis, without having to put in any of the work yourself. You can trust the professionals on the OPD team with their knowledge, experience and expertise to use the best products and techniques on your car. If the car is newer or brand new, a maintenance routine will preserve its qualities and keep it looking fresh for years to come. This is especially important if resale value is a priority for you.

What paint protection should I get for my car?

While there are a plethora of ceramic-based sealants and synthetic waxes out there in the market that offer reasonable protection, your best bang-for-buck solution is going to be a ceramic coating for cars. At fairly affordable pricing, mobile ceramic coating provides a combination of convenience and highly durable paint protection near you.

What affects mobile ceramic coating costs?

Ceramic coating prices can be largely influenced by the amount of car paint correction required prior to installing the coating. An car that is several years old and has seen some use will almost always require more preparation than a new car. Mobile paint protection can add to costs due to convenience and flexibility. Lastly, the warranty options of ceramic paint protection can vary anywhere from 3 years all the way to lifetime, affecting prices.
