Exterior Hand Polish & Wax
Machine-free polish to lift light swirl marks, finished with a protective wax layer for a deep, glossy shine.
Clyde North · Open 7 Days
Hand polish and wax, clay bar decontamination, leather care and engine bay detailing — a deeper clean than a standard wash, done by hand.
A standard wash keeps your car looking presentable week to week, but it won't touch the fine contaminants bonded to your paint, or restore leather and carpet that's had a few years of daily use. Detailing goes further — hand polishing to lift light swirl marks, a clay bar pass to pull embedded grime out of the clear coat, and a proper interior deep clean rather than a quick vacuum.
Below is exactly what's covered in our interior & exterior detailing service. Prefer just one half of the job? We're happy to quote interior-only or exterior-only — just mention it when you call 0450 007 415.
What's included
A complete interior and exterior detail, from paint correction to the last wipe-down.
Machine-free polish to lift light swirl marks, finished with a protective wax layer for a deep, glossy shine.
Lifts bonded contaminants — brake dust, tar and industrial fallout — that a wash alone can't remove from the clear coat.
Seats, carpets and mats shampooed and extracted, not just vacuumed, for a genuinely fresh cabin.
Leather cleaned and conditioned, fabric upholstery treated to resist stains and keep its finish longer.
A careful, degreased clean of the engine bay that leaves it looking tidy without disturbing sensitive components.
Cloudy, oxidised headlights polished back to clear for better night visibility and a sharper front-end look.
Good to know
Seats, carpets and mats are shampooed and extracted, not just vacuumed, with dash, console and door trims cleaned and dressed, and glass finished streak-free.
Our standard hand polish lifts light swirl marks and restores gloss. Heavier paint correction for deeper scratches can be quoted separately — ask our team when you call.
A well-maintained interior and swirl-free paint make a real difference at resale and trade-in, since buyers and dealers judge condition on first impression.
Yes — we use pH-balanced leather cleaners and conditioners suited to factory leather, avoiding harsh products that dry out or crack the surface over time.

Detailing guide
Clyde North's mix of new-estate dust, tree sap on tree-lined streets and daily commuter grime means paint and interiors pick up wear faster than a wash alone can keep on top of. As a general rule, a full detail every 3 to 6 months keeps swirl marks from building up and stops interior grime from setting into carpet fibres and leather, while a regular hand wash in between keeps the surface clean day to day.
If you've just bought a used car, towed a trailer through a dusty site, or had pets in the back seat for a while, it's worth booking a detail sooner rather than waiting for the next scheduled one — the longer contaminants sit on paint or fabric, the harder they are to fully remove.
Questions, answered
A car wash cleans the surface — foam, rinse and a vacuum. Detailing goes deeper: hand polishing, clay bar paint decontamination, leather and upholstery conditioning, and engine bay cleaning to restore your car inside and out.

From our customers
The clay bar treatment made a huge difference — paint feels glass-smooth and the swirl marks from my last detailer are gone.
— Priya M., Cranbourne★★★★★
Had the full interior done after a road trip with the dog. Seats and carpets came back looking brand new, no smell at all.

Engine bay detail was worth every cent, first time it's been properly cleaned since I bought the car.
