The detail that pays for itself

First impressions determine whether a buyer makes an offer, and how much. A car that presents immaculately invites higher offers and fewer negotiations. A pre-sale detail typically returns several times its cost in sale price.

The Pre-Sale Detail goes beyond a standard clean. Paint decontamination and clay bar remove embedded contaminants that dull the finish. Ozone treatment eliminates odours that buyers notice immediately. Carpet and seat shampooing removes stains that photographs and in-person inspections expose.

Joe has helped dozens of Blue Mountains sellers get their cars photo-ready and sold faster. Give your car the best possible chance.

Duration: 4–6 hours (full day service). Arrange for a day when you don't need the car.

Pre-Sale Detail FAQ

  • Is the cut and polish upgrade worth it?
    If your car has visible swirl marks, fine scratches, or faded paint, absolutely yes. The cut and polish removes significantly more surface defects and makes the paint look dramatically better in sale photos. At $200 extra, it often adds far more than that to the sale price.
  • Can you remove smoke smell with the Pre-Sale Detail?
    Yes, the ozone treatment specifically targets embedded odours including cigarette smoke, pet smells, and mould. It's one of the most effective treatments available for persistent odour problems.
  • Will the Pre-Sale Detail remove all scratches?
    The standard polish and wax improves minor surface scratches and swirls. For deeper scratches, the cut and polish upgrade removes more, but deeper paint damage may require touch-up work before detailing. Joe will assess and advise on the day.

Joe did an absolutely incredible job on my car. It was in a bit of a state after all the rain inside and out (parked under a pine tree) and it literally was a night and day difference when I picked it up. Feels brand new again. Highly recommend!

Joe is absolutely amazing. My car looks and smells brand new, I didn't want to put my feet in and drive it, it looked so good. He was on time, efficient and the job was great value for money. So glad I've used Driven Detail, will do again. Thanks Joe.

Magic! Had a very bad bird poo stain all over (and I mean all over) the passenger door. Even scraping the glass with a razor blade wouldn't shift it until I also put some bicarb solution on it. Using a scraper clearly wasn't possible on the duco so I called Joe. Not only did he clear it all off, he also repaired a scratch that was beyond a well known smash repair place in Katoomba. Highly recommended.
