Defect reduction is typical and depends on paint condition and hardness. Deeper scratches, stone chips and clear coat failure won’t be fixed by polishing. Targeted wet sanding is assessed individually. Studio drop-off is Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
This is where the studio takes over.
Sunshine Coast Detailing looks after your car on the driveway. When it needs machine work, it comes into our Quantum Detail studio at Corbould Park. Same people, better light.
Same team One crew, two names Same phone 0458 165 810 Same address Corbould Park studio Why the studio
You can’t fix what you can’t see.
Correction means levelling the clear coat, so the light, the conditions and the measurements matter. That’s why the machine work happens at Corbould Park instead of being forced onto a driveway.

Good to know.
Are Sunshine Coast Detailing and Quantum Detail the same business?
Yes, one team with two names. Sunshine Coast Detailing is our mobile detailing brand. Quantum Detail is our studio at Corbould Park, where the machine polishing, correction and protection work is done. Whichever name you found us by, you’re dealing with the same people.
What’s the difference between cut and polish and paint correction?
Cut and polish is a gloss enhancement: one cut on a firm pad that improves light marks by about 30 to 40%. Paint correction is defect removal: single stage takes out about 50 to 65%, and multi-stage, with a heavy cut and refining stages, about 80 to 90%.
Can you polish the car at my house?
The Cut and Polish add-on ($199) can be done with a mobile Revitalise, but only in an enclosed garage with good lighting. The standalone Cut and Polish and all paint correction are done in the studio, where the lighting is purpose built for it.
Will it remove scratches and stone chips?
Light scratches, swirls, wash marring and minor oxidation improve a lot. Deeper scratches, stone chips and clear coat failure won’t be fixed by polishing. Targeted wet sanding for severe spots is assessed individually.
How long will you have the car?
Cut and Polish takes about 5 to 6 hours, single stage about 8 and multi-stage about 10. Studio drop-off is Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
How do I protect it afterwards?
The sealant we finish with protects for several months. For years of protection, Correct and Coat adds a Gtechniq ceramic coating from $1,499, and every coating includes a free wash 7 days after handover.
