Why Your Cars Engine Bay Actually Matters

Look, I’ll be honest with you. Most folks dont even pop the hood unless somethings wrong. But that grime building up? Its not just ugly. Oil leaks get worse when dirts caked on cause you cant see where its coming from. Hoses crack faster when they’re covered in crud and chemicals that shouldnt be there.

Plus when you take your car in for service, mechanics charge extra when they gotta dig through filth to find problems. We’ve had customers save hundreds on diagnostic fees just cause the mechanic could actually see what was wrong.

Around Joondalup and Edgewater, we get that salt air from the ocean. It speeds up corrosion big time if your engine bays not looked after. Same goes for people heading up to the hills on weekends – dust and mud get everywhere.

Full Detail + Buff Polish + Engine Bay – Sedan/Hatch

Duration: 4 hours 20 minutes | Price: $499

This ones our most popular package for your everyday cars. Takes about 4 hours and 20 minutes, costs $499.

Heres what happens: We start with the engine bay cause thats gotta dry anyway. We mask off your alternator, any exposed filters, electrical connections. Then we use a degreaser thats safe for rubber and plastic – not that harsh stuff from Bunnings that’ll crack everything.

The buff polish part – thats where we fix your paint. Light scratches, swirl marks from bad car washes, water spots. We use a DA polisher, not those rotary ones that can burn through your clear coat if you dont know what your doing.

Inside gets vacuumed proper, seats shampooed, dash cleaned. Outside gets a full wash, clay bar to pull out the rough bits, then the polish, then wax. Your cars gonna feel smooth when you run your hand over it.

Works great for Corollas, Mazda 3s, i30s, all them sedans and hatches people drive round Joondalup.

Full Detail + Buff Polish + Engine Bay – Wagon/Small SUV

Duration: 4 hours 20 minutes | Price: $549

Got a wagon or one of those small SUVs? This packages for you. Same 4 hours 20 minutes, but its $549 cause theres more surface area to work with.

See, wagons and small SUVs like the RAV4, CX-5, Forester – they got more paint, bigger cargo areas that get trashed, and usually the engine bays are packed tighter. That means more careful work around all the components.

We do the same full detail buff polish engine bay treatment. Engine bay gets degreased safely, interiors get a deep clean (and trust me, we’ve seen some scary stuff in the back of family wagons), and that paint gets brought back to life.

The extra fifty bucks? Thats just cause it takes more product and more time to do the bigger surfaces right. We’re not trying to rip anyone off – a sedans easier, plain and simple.

Lots of families in Edgewater and Mullaloo bring there wagons to us. Kids make a mess, we clean it up proper.

Full Detail + Buff Polish + Engine Bay – 4WD/SUV/7-Seater

Duration: 4 hours 20 minutes | Price: $599

Big rigs need big attention. 4WDs, proper SUVs, 7-seaters – they cost $599 and take the same time as the others, 4 hours 20 minutes.

These vehicles take a beating. If your doing beach runs down to Mullaloo or heading up north on dirt roads, that salt and dust gets everywhere. Your engine bays usually filthy, your paint cops more stone chips, and the interiors? Three rows of seats means three times the mess.

Full detail buff polish engine bay car detailing for these bigger vehicles means we gotta be extra careful. More electrics under the hood, bigger panels to polish (and more chance of missing spots if you rush it), way more interior to vacuum and shampoo.

The paint correction on a big 4WD is no joke. Theres so much surface area, and usually theres more damage from all the driving you do. But when its done? People always say it looks better than when they bought it.

Landcruisers, Patrols, Prados, Ford Everests – we do heaps of them around Joondalup cause everyone round here loves there 4WDs.

Full Detail + Buff Polish – Ram, Chevy, Patrol, Vans

Duration: 6 hour | Price: $699

Now if youve got one of them massive American trucks or a big van, thats our premium package. Six hours of work, $699.

Why more time? Mate, have you seen the size of a Ram? The bonnet alone is bigger than most sedans. Same with them Chevy Silverados and big Patrols. Vans like Hiaces and Transits too – massive flat panels that show every single swirl mark.

This is full detail plus buff polish but we usually skip the engine bay on the American trucks unless you really want it cause there laid out different and honestly they dont need it as much. But we can do it if you want.

These big vehicles need machine polishing on every panel to look good. One panel on a Ram takes as long as half a normal car. We’re talking serious paint correction work here. But the results? Your trucks gonna turn heads driving through Joondalup.

We get tradies with vans who want them looking sharp for there business. Makes sense – your vans your billboard. We also get plenty of Ram and Silverado owners from around Edgewater who want there pride and joy looking mint.

What Makes Engine Bay Cleaning Risky (And How We Do It Safe)

Real talk – engine bay cleanings where most people screw up. The biggest risks?

Water damage: Spray water in the wrong spots and you short out sensors, corrode connections, or get water in your intake. We’ve seen cars that wont start cause someone pressure washed straight into there alternator.

Chemical damage: Most engine degreasers are way too harsh. They eat through rubber hoses, crack plastic covers, and strip protective coatings off wiring. Then six months later your hoses start leaking and you dont know why.

Inexperienced work: If you dont know what your covering, what your avoiding, and what products to use where, your playing with fire. Or in this case, expensive repairs.

We’ve been doing this in Joondalup for ages. We know which connectors need wrapping, which products are safe on different materials, and how to rinse properly without drowning your electricals. We use low pressure, targeted cleaning, and proper degreasers that do the job without wrecking stuff.

The cost? Yeah, $499 to $699 seems like a lot. But compared to a $2000 repair bill cause you tried it yourself? Or even paying a mechanic $150 just to diagnose whats wrong cause they cant see through the grime? Its actually pretty reasonable.

Paint Correction: Why Buff Polish Beats Regular Wax

Everyone round Edgewater knows someone who just waxes there car and calls it detailed. But wax just covers up problems, it dont fix them.

Buff polish actually removes a tiny layer of your clear coat to smooth out scratches and swirls. When we run the DA polisher over your paint with the right compound, were leveling the surface. Thats why it feels smooth after – cause it actually is smooth.

Then we wax it to protect that fresh surface. The shine you get from proper paint correction? You cant fake that with wax alone.

We see so many cars in Joondalup with paint that looks dull and scratched. Usually from automatic car washes – them brushes murder your clear coat. Or from people washing with sponges that got dirt in them, basically sanding there own paint.

One proper buff polish session fixes months or years of damage. And if you maintain it right after (hand wash, decent products), itll stay looking good for ages.
