A: Yes! We can deep clean vehicles with heavy soiling, pet hair, or sand. Please note that extra charges may apply for extreme conditions.

A: Absolutely. A clean, detailed vehicle presents better to buyers and can increase its resale price. It shows the car has been cared for and is in excellent condition.

A: Yes — we only use professional-grade products that we trust, including SB3 Coatings for ceramic protection. All of the products we use are also available for sale in our studio.

A: Yes! Light scratches and swirl marks can often be removed through paint correction and polishing. For deep scratches, we can recommend repair or touch-up solutions.

A: Our detailing services are carried out at our Penrose studio in Auckland, where we have the right tools and environment for the best results. Mobile options may be available for fleet or special bookings — contact us to discuss.

A: Our Full Works Detail typically takes 5–6 hours. Smaller packages such as an interior or exterior detail can take 2–4 hours.  Larger and  difficult vehicles can take 7-8 hours. Times can vary depending on your car’s size and condition.

A: We recommend a full detail every 3–6 months, depending on how often you drive and your car’s exposure to dirt and environmental elements. Vehicles with ceramic coatings may only need light maintenance details in between.

A: Car detailing is a deep cleaning and restoration process for your vehicle, inside and out. Unlike a basic car wash, detailing includes thorough cleaning, polishing, stain and tar removal, and protective treatments like wax or ceramic coatings. It helps keep your car looking new and protects its value.

A: Yes. As a certified SB3 installer, we provide official SB3-backed warranties on Alpha, Trinity, and other qualifying coatings. These warranties are registered upon completion and cover longevity, performance, and product failure (conditions apply).

A: Prices vary based on vehicle size and coating type. Our packages start around $350 for entry-level protection and go up to $2,400+ for multi-layer, high-end coatings like SB3 Trinity. Contact us for a tailored quote.

A: Depending on the coating you choose and your vehicle’s condition, the full ceramic coating service takes between 6 to 12 hours, including paint correction prep. Some packages may require an overnight cure.

A: Aftercare is simple. Avoid automated car washes with brushes. Use pH-neutral soaps, like SB3 Soap,  microfiber cloths, and avoid harsh chemicals. We also recommend SB3 Maintain — a coating-safe booster spray available in our store — for top-ups between washes.

A: Yes — in fact, it’s highly recommended. Applying SB3 ceramic coating to a new car protects the paint from the start, locks in that brand-new gloss, and makes maintenance easier from day one.

A: Absolutely. Ceramic coatings last significantly longer (years vs. weeks/months), provide better resistance to UV, water spots, chemicals, and offer superior shine. Wax gives a short-term shine, but ceramic coating offers real long-term protection.

A: That depends on the SB3 package you choose.

• SB3 Trinity lasts up to 7 years
• SB3 Alpha lasts up to 5 years
• SB3 Thirty 3 lasts up to 3 years
• SB3 Omega offers up to 2 year’s of protection

All coatings come with a manufacturer-backed warranty when installed by certified professionals like Detailing Sheriffs.

A: SB3 Ceramic Coating is a professional-grade liquid polymer applied by hand to your vehicle’s exterior surfaces. It chemically bonds with the paint to create a long-lasting protective layer. This coating repels water, resists UV damage, and makes your vehicle easier to clean — all while enhancing gloss and depth.
