Why Dorado

In Colombia, taking care of your car by hand is a point of pride. I brought that standard with me to Melbourne — and I don't cut corners on it.

Dorado means golden — the standard every panel, every headlight, and every interior is finished to before we call a job done. This isn't a quick wash-and-go outfit. It's detailing treated as a craft, built on techniques learned back home and sharpened to match what Melbourne drivers expect.

COLOMBIAN CRAFTSMANSHIP  —  MELBOURNE STANDARD
What is it?

Complete hand detailing

Every job runs the same way: an Exterior Signature Wash on the outside, then the interior taken as deep as you choose. No machines cutting corners, no rushed turnaround — each surface is worked by hand and checked before we hand the keys back.

We come to you — all we need on-site is access to a tap and a power point. Or drop the car at our base in Sunshine North. Either way, the standard doesn't change.

Full Detailing

Every panel, done properly.

From a weekend refresh to a full interior deep clean, each service is built around one goal: a finish that holds up after we drive away.

Most Requested
01

Exterior Signature Wash

Foam pre-wash, safe-contact hand wash, wheels and glass, finished with tyre shine and protective wax.

Interior Detailing

Deep vacuum, steam sanitising, and fabric or upholstery conditioning — seat to headliner.

04

Headlight Restoration

Cloudy, yellowed lenses brought back to crystal clarity. See it below.

Headlight Restoration

Drag the line. See the difference.

Oxidised lenses aren't just cosmetic — they cut real light output at night. We wet-sand, polish, and seal each lens in stages to bring back clarity that lasts.

  • ✓ UV-resistant protective sealant included
  • ✓ Most jobs finished the same day
  • ✓ Noticeably better night visibility, not just looks
  • ✓ Both lenses $89 launch price until 30 Nov (then $115), sealed with a Cerakote ceramic headlight coating

The Process

Five stages. No shortcuts.

The same sequence every time, whether it's a full detail or a single headlight lens.

01

Inspect

We walk the car with you first — noting problem areas, existing damage, and what "done" should look like.

02

Wash & Prep

Every job starts with proper prep — a hand wash or surface prep, so nothing gets sealed in under the work that follows.

03

Hand Detail

Careful hand work on every surface — from trim and glass to the headlight lenses, sanded and polished stage by stage.

04

Protect

Wax or sealant locks in the finish and buys you time before the next detail.

05

Final Inspection

We check the work in direct sunlight with you before we call it finished — not before.

We're just getting started in Melbourne, so we don't have a wall of reviews yet — and we'd rather tell you that than fill this space with words we made up.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Either works. If we come to you, we'll need access to a tap and a power point where the car is parked. No tap or power where you are? Drop the car at our base in Sunshine North and pick it up once it's done.

Yes. Our Full Interior Detail covers every interior step from the Complete Detail — extraction, stains, headliner, leather, the lot — without the exterior wash. It starts from $289 for a sedan or hatch. If you'd like the outside done as well, the Complete Detail adds our Exterior Signature Wash from $30 more.

We're based in Sunshine North. Anywhere within 30 km by road is free — that covers most of Melbourne. From 30 to 60 km there's a flat $25 travel fee, and further out we'll quote the trip or you're welcome to drop the car off with us. Any travel fee is always in your quote before you book.

It depends on the size and condition of the car and the package you choose. We'll give you a realistic time frame with your quote rather than rushing to hit a number.

Each lens is sanded, polished and finished with a UV-resistant sealant, which is what keeps the yellowing from coming straight back. How long it takes depends on how far gone the lenses are — we'll give you a realistic time frame with your quote, and most jobs are finished the same day. Both lenses are $89 at our launch price until 30 November (then $115), sealed with a Cerakote ceramic headlight coating.

Not at the moment. We're focused on doing hand detailing and headlight restoration properly — if you need paint correction or ceramic coating, we'd rather tell you straight than take the job.

Listed prices are starting points. Extras like pet hair, heavy sand or mud, excessive rubbish or extreme dirt carry a surcharge — but we always confirm any of it with you before we start, never at the end.

No — clay bar is an optional extra from $69, not part of the standard Signature Wash. You can add it to any package; just ask when you book.
