Why choose professional car detailing?
Professional detailing offers significant benefits for your vehicle's appearance and durability. Expert care and regular maintenance can transform your car inside and out, as well as dramatically improve resale value that you can enjoy when it comes time to sell. You get to experience that clean-car feeling and total peace of mind, knowing that your vehicle has been treated to a white-glove standard by the pros.
Maximise resale value through expert care.
Professional detailing can increase your car's resale value by 10-15%, oftentimes even more if the car is older or is a sought-after model. A thorough detail removes built-up, long-term grime and restores your vehicle's finish to a showroom-like condition. This meticulous care protects your paintwork - usually your car’s most valuable asset - from environmental damage and preserves the interior.
Our detailing team uses specialised cleaning tools and products to clean hard-to-reach areas. We can remove stubborn stains and odours that DIY methods often miss. Our comprehensive approach helps maintain your car's value over time.
We also have the expertise to safely address issues like minor scratches or swirl marks in the paint. These small improvements can make a big difference when it's time to sell or trade in your vehicle. Addressing the small, finer details is our specialty.
Experience total peace of mind with regular maintenance cleaning.
Regular professional cleaning prevents long-term damage to your car's surfaces. It removes harmful contaminants like bird droppings, traffic film, tree sap, and industrial fallout before they can cause lasting damage.
At O’Keefe’s Prestige Detailing, we use pH-neutral products that are gentle on surfaces but tough on dirt. This helps preserve your car's paint, trim, and upholstery over time. Consistent maintenance detailing means that only low-intensity cleaning products are needed; being gentle on your car and ensuring you get the most out of your investment.
Regular detailing also removes consistently allergens, bacteria, and other harmful particles that can accumulate in your car's interior, preventing the chance for them to grow out of control and become a health hazard.

State-of-the-art, advanced paint protection.
Your vehicle is an investment. Protect your vehicle's paintwork with our cutting-edge solutions. We offer ceramic coating and Paint Protection Film (PPF) applications.
Ceramic coatings provide a durable, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants. This makes washing easier and maintains your car's shine for much longer than traditional waxes and sealants will. Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent and are often sold with warranties from 3-year, all the way to lifetime. PPF, on the other hand, is a thin but highly durable polyurethane film that offers physical protection against stone chips and minor scratches. Many are also now self-healing to a certain degree; something never before seen in the automotive industry.
Both options are more than capable of providing high quality paint protection; something Sunshine Coast residents have been growing more and more enthusiastic about over recent years. So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch with our friendly and knowledgable team today.
We’re excited to meet you.
Caring for your car in Caloundra’s climate.
Caloundra’s coastal environment poses unique challenges for vehicle maintenance. The combination of sun, salt, and rain can take a toll on your car's exterior and interior.
Shield against sun, salt air and corrosion.
Caloundra’s sunny climate and proximity to the ocean creates harsh conditions for vehicles. The intense UV rays can fade paint and damage interior surfaces. Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal parts; a problem that many Sunshine Coast residents are faced with.
Regular car detailing is crucial to protect against these elements. A thorough wash removes salt deposits, while having an active paint sealant creates a protective barrier against UV damage. For maximum protection, consider a ceramic coating or PPF wrap. This advanced treatment provides semi-permanent defence against sun and salt.
Consistent interior detailing is equally important. UV-resistant coatings on dashboards and seats prevent cracking and fading. Proper cleaning and conditioning of leather surfaces maintain their appearance and prevent drying out.
Dealing with corrosion and paint contaminants.
Rust is a major concern in Caloundra’s humid, salty environment. Regular washing and protective coatings are essential to prevent corrosion. Paint protection film (PPF) can shield vulnerable areas from salt air and spray, water spots, stone chips and the everyday challenges that vehicles face whilst on the road.
Bird and bat droppings are another common issue, especially near popular spots in Caloundra such as Dicky Beach and Bulcock Beach. These droppings are highly acidic and can quickly and easily etch paint if left uncleaned. Swift removal and proactive detailing techniques prevent permanent damage.
Our professional detailing services use specialised cleaning products to safely remove contaminants without harming your car's finish. They’re developed by car detailers, for car detailers. Regular maintenance cleaning helps preserve your vehicle's value and appearance in Caloundra’s coastal climate. Don’t feel like doing it yourself? Not to worry. Our Sunshine Coast detailing team specialise in car maintenance cleaning to ensure that you experience adequate year-round vehicle protection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
How does professional car detailing help my vehicle last?
Professional car cleaning removes harmful contaminants that can damage your vehicle's paint and interior over time. Regular detailing helps to actively preserve your car's finish, preventing oxidation and fading. Here in the Sunshine Coast, we need to be vigilant with maintaining our vehicles due to the excessive heat and UV exposure we receive most of the year.
Professional detailing on the Sunshine Coast also keeps the interior clean and well-maintained, preventing unnecessary wear and tear on upholstery and interior trims. This comprehensive level of care improves your vehicle’s durability and maintains its aesthetic appeal.
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.

Our team's expertise in paint correction, ceramic coating, and mobile window tinting sets us apart. We prioritise customer satisfaction and provide personalised attention to each vehicle.

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, CarPro, Nv Car Care, System X, Gtechniq and Black Armor to be the best. We use these in complete confidence, and also use them on our own cars, because we believe if it’s good enough for ours, it’s good enough for yours.
Does regular detailing protect the paint and overall finish of my car?
Yes, regular detailing plays a crucial role in protecting your car's paint and finish. It removes contaminants like dirt, water spots, bird droppings, and tree sap that can etch into the paint.
Detailing also involves applying protective coatings that shield the paint from UV rays, oxidation, and environmental pollutants. This proactive approach helps maintain both your car's glossy finish and its resale value.
What are the benefits of ceramic coating my car?
Ceramic coating provides long-lasting protection for your vehicle's paint. With proper maintenance and the right coating, you can get up to a decade’s worth of protection out of your car ceramic coating. It forms a durable, hydrophobic glass layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, while enhancing the factory clear coat underneath it.
The coating enhances your car's gloss and makes it easier to clean. It also offers superior protection against UV rays, oxidation, and chemical stains compared to even the most robust synthetic wax sealants.
How does car window tinting add resale value?
Mobile window tinting offers increased privacy and reduces heat inside your vehicle. Our window tint blocks 99.9% of harmful UV rays, protecting your car's interior from fading, cracking and melting over time. Here on the Sunshine Coast, we experience a lot of intense UV exposure and heat, which certainly takes its toll on vehicle interiors. Keeping your interior safe with window tint is a sure way to maximise your car’s value when it’s time to sell.
Window tint also adds a level of sleekness and prestige to any car. A potential buyer who sees window tint already installed on a car may see it as a more attractive buying opportunity.
