Summernats Top 60 · RockyNats · MotorEx. Mobile detailing across the Sunshine Coast, out of Kunda Park.

I'm Mitch, and I work on every car myself. My vehicles have competed at national level - when you book me, your car gets the same zero-defect standard I hold myself to in competition. I come to you, wherever you are on the Sunshine Coast.

Competition-Proven

Summernats Top 60. RockyNats. MotorEx. Show-car judges see every defect under raking light at arm's length. My clients get the same zero-defect standard I hold myself to on the show floor.

Fully Mobile · I Come to You

No drop-off queues. No transport risk. No strangers driving your car. I bring everything I need to your driveway or workplace, across the entire Sunshine Coast.

Owner-Operated

There's only one person touching your car. Me. No staff, no hand-offs, no junior with a buffer finishing what I started. That's not a marketing line - that's just how I run it.

Services

What I Do

From daily-driver protection to show-car preparation. Three services that work as a system, or standalone.

Ceramic coating application · Sunny Coast Auto Detailing
Highest Protection

Ceramic Coating

A ceramic coating bonds semi-permanently with the clear coat - harder than the paint itself, hydrophobic, UV-resistant. Road grime, bird lime, and industrial fallout lift off with a rinse rather than a scrub session. Maintenance washes take a fraction of the time and the results hold for years, not months. I apply ceramic only after full paint correction. There's no value in locking imperfections in under a coating.

Defect Removal

Paint Correction

Machine-polishing removes the layer of clear coat where swirl marks, buffer trails, marring, and light scratches live. Done properly - with the right compound sequence, the right polish, and the right finishing pass - your paint comes back to what it looked like when it left the factory. Often better. Paint correction is also the necessary foundation step before any ceramic coating application. You do not lock defects in under protection.

Show-car preparation detailing · Sunny Coast Auto Detailing
Competition Finish

Show-Car Preparation

Show prep is a different discipline. A multi-stage process covering every panel, every gap, every piece of trim. Engine bay, wheel arches, door shuts included. Show judges get close - really close - and they are looking for anything you missed. The standard for show prep is not "looks good in photos." It is "holds up under raking light at arm's length from someone who does this for a living." I have competed at Summernats, RockyNats, and MotorEx. I know what that scrutiny looks like and I know what it takes to pass it.

Results

Competition Results

National show-car events. The credentials that no other mobile detailer on the Sunshine Coast can replicate.

Show-car judging at national level is not a participation exercise. To place or present well at these events, the paintwork has to hold up under professional scrutiny at close range. The detailer who prepares the car is as much on the line as the builder. I have competed at all three of Australia's most recognised show-car events and I bring that same standard to every vehicle I work on.

Summernats Top 60
Canberra · National

Australia's largest custom car show, held in Canberra. A Top 60 show-judged result requires paintwork that is defect-free under the scrutiny of experienced judges. It is not a participation trophy - vehicles are assessed and placed. This is the strongest single credential Sunny Coast Auto Detailing holds and the hardest for any local competitor to match.

RockyNats
Rockhampton · National

CQ Nationals, Rockhampton - a serious event for the modified and custom car community. Entered and presented at national event level, where preparation standard is scrutinised by experienced judges and a knowledgeable crowd.

MotorEx
Premier Indoor Show

One of Australia's premier indoor show-car exhibitions. MotorEx entry represents work at the high end of the Australian show-car scene, where build quality and finish are the primary evaluation criteria.

Media

As Seen on Skid Factory

Skid Factory is one of Australia's biggest automotive YouTube channels. My work has been featured on it. That is not something I put on the website to sound good - it is documented. The standards they hold to on camera are the same standards I hold on every client's car.

About

About Mitch

I started Sunny Coast Auto Detailing because I wanted to do the kind of work that holds up under a show-car judge's magnifying glass. Not just for competition builds - for anyone on the Sunshine Coast with a vehicle they actually care about.

My vehicles have competed at Summernats, RockyNats, and MotorEx. When you present at one of those events, the judging is serious. Under raking light at every angle, by people who do this for a living and know exactly what they're looking at. That pressure either makes your process tighter or it exposes what you've been cutting corners on. It made mine tighter.

I run this completely solo. When you book Sunny Coast Auto Detailing, you get me. I do every decontamination pass, every correction stage, every coating application myself. For the kind of vehicles my clients bring me, that accountability isn't optional.

Based in Kunda Park, mobile across the whole Sunshine Coast - from Caloundra in the south up through Maroochydore to Noosa in the north. Wherever your car lives, that's where I work.

FAQ

Common Questions

Do you come to me or do I bring the car to you?
I come to you. Fully mobile. I bring all my equipment to your driveway, your workplace, or wherever the car lives. Your car stays put. I work around your location and your schedule.
What areas do you cover?
I cover the whole Sunshine Coast - Caloundra in the south up through Maroochydore to Noosa in the north. My base is Kunda Park. If you're on the fringes and not sure I reach you, just ring and ask - I'll give you a straight answer.
What's the difference between paint correction and ceramic coating?
Paint correction removes defects from the clear coat - swirl marks, marring, buffer trails, and light scratches. Ceramic coating goes on after correction and protects the now-defect-free surface with a semi-permanent hydrophobic layer. You can do correction without coating. But you should not do coating without correction - otherwise you're sealing the imperfections in under the protective layer.
How long does a ceramic coating take to cure?
The coating session itself takes a full working day or more depending on the preparation required. After application, the coating continues to cure for 24 to 48 hours - during that window you want to keep the car dry and away from heavy dust. After that it's fully hardened. I'll walk you through the correct wash method to maintain it going forward.
Is ceramic coating worth it for my car?
For a vehicle you care about, the maths works over time. A quality ceramic coating, properly maintained, can last several years. That means years of significantly quicker washes, better paint appearance, and a surface that repels contamination rather than holding onto it. For high-value, modified, or classic vehicles the protection case is straightforward. For a car you're not keeping long, it probably doesn't make sense. I'll give you an honest assessment when we talk.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Clear access around all four sides of the car and access to a power point nearby if possible. That's it. I bring everything else. Don't pre-wash or try to prep the surface beforehand - I'd rather handle that myself so I know exactly what condition the paint is in when I start.
Do you work on classic or modified vehicles?
Yes, and it's a big part of what I do. Older original paint, bare-metal resprays, and modified builds all have their own surface characteristics. I adjust the correction approach accordingly. If you've got something unusual or something you're particularly careful about, ring me and we can talk through it before booking.
