A proper hand wash and exterior detail built for Cairns' salt air and sun — no harsh machines, no drive-through swirls. Drop it to our Trinity Beach shop or we come to you.
A drive-through wash drags grit across your paint and leaves swirls. An exterior detail is the opposite — it's all done by hand, the slow way, so the car comes up clean without the damage.
We don't just wash the dirt you can see. We decontaminate the paint, clean the wheels and tyres properly, and finish with a protective seal so the car stays cleaner for longer and the next wash is easier.
Cairns is a tough place to keep a car looking good. None of this is to scare you — it's just why a regular exterior detail is worth it here more than most places.
Near the coast, salt settles on your car every day and works into the paint and metal. A clean and a seal keeps it from bonding on and doing damage.
Our UV fades and dulls unprotected paint fast. A protective seal — or a ceramic coat if you want longer — slows that right down.
Rain, mud and that sticky film between storms build up quickly. Hand washing gets it off without grinding it into the clear coat.
A foam soak to lift the loose dirt before anything touches the paint, so we're not dragging grit around.
Washed by hand, panel by panel, with the grit rinsed out of the mitt between passes. No machines, no swirls.
A clay treatment pulls bonded contaminants — fallout, tar, tree sap — out of the paint so it's properly clean, not just surface-clean.
The dirtiest part of the car gets its own clean — wheels, barrels, tyres and arches — then dressed.
Dried by hand to avoid water spots, then a protective seal so water beads off and the shine lasts.
Every car's different — size and condition change things — so we'll give you an exact quote on a quick call rather than a flat number. Here's where it starts:
Hand wash, decontamination, wheels and tyres, and a protective seal. Priced by size; a hatch starts at $325.
Add a ceramic coat to your wheels so brake dust and road grime rinse straight off instead of baking on.
A ceramic coat on the glass so rain beads and runs off — genuinely handy in a Cairns wet season.

What customers say after a Posh Wash detail.
“Recently had our car detailed by Grace — friendly, professional, and great communication from start to finish. We booked the Signature Detail package and every surface was spotless. The car looks and feels like new again. Highly recommended.”
“Had two vehicles fully detailed inside and out. Both cars came up better than expected. The whole process from booking to completion was seamless. Grace was a pleasure to deal with.”
“Happiest I could be after Grace’s amazing service. Professionalism from booking through to the finished cars was outstanding — attention to detail was exceptional. We look forward to booking again.”
“I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my car. Grace does a beautiful job — no nasty chemicals that make me feel sick. Lovely energy. Posh Wash is 5 stars from me.”

Straight answers about exterior detailing in Cairns — no jargon.
An exterior detail starts from $325 and goes up with the size of the car — a hatch at the lower end, a big 4WD or van more. We'll give you an exact quote on a quick call, GST included.
A two-bucket hand wash, paint decontamination (a clay treatment), a proper wheel, tyre and arch clean, a hand dry, and a protective seal. It's the outside done top to bottom, not just a quick wash.
Every few months keeps on top of the salt and UV up here. If you park near the water or under trees, a bit more often helps — but we'll be honest if your paint's fine and doesn't need it yet.
For your paint, yes — by a long way. Drive-through brushes drag grit across the panels and leave swirl marks over time. A two-bucket hand wash gets the car just as clean without that damage.
Always — and properly. Wheels, barrels, tyres and arches are the dirtiest part of the car, so they get their own clean and a tyre dressing to finish.
That's ideal, actually. Working out of direct sun gives a better finish, so a shaded driveway or carport is perfect — or just drop it to our Trinity Beach shop.
Drop into our shopfront at 29 Vasey Esplanade, Trinity Beach, or stay put and our mobile vans come to your home or work right across Cairns and the Northern Beaches.
