From $395Why The Lab?
We're not a drive-through. Every car that enters The Detailing Lab NZ receives the same meticulous, hands-on attention — whether it's a daily hatchback or a weekend prestige vehicle.
Palmerston North's UV exposure and road conditions are tough on paint. We use science-backed chemistry and proven technique to protect what you've worked hard for.
No shortcuts. Every surface cleaned, treated and inspected by a trained eye before it leaves the Lab.
We use only industry-leading detailing products — because your car deserves the best.
Drop your car at our professional studio at 72 Bourke Street — we handle everything from there.
Not happy? We'll make it right. No questions, no hassle — that's the Lab standard.
Pricing
All packages include GST. SUV/Ute pricing listed below each package.
The perfect regular detail to keep your car looking its best between full services.
A thorough inside-and-out transformation with machine polish and engine detail.
The full Lab treatment — 2-stage cut/polish, 12-month ceramic sealant & complete restoration.
Next-Level Protection
SiO₂ nano-coating chemically bonds to your paint — creating a rock-hard, hydrophobic shield against UV, bird acid, contaminants & the elements. Not a wax. Not a sealant. A permanent solution.
Our Work
Every photo taken in-house. No filters, no stock "after" shots — just real results from real vehicles.
Facebook Reviews
"Absolutely blown away with the result on my car. The paint correction removed every swirl mark and scratch — it looks better than when I bought it. Professional, thorough and honest. The Lab is the real deal."
"Had the Signature package done. Dog hair, coffee stains, muddy seats — completely gone. The interior looks brand new. Great communication, fair pricing and the finish is outstanding."
"Got the Gold ceramic coating done. The hydrophobic effect is insane — water just sheets straight off. These guys know their products and their craft. Highly recommend to anyone serious about their car."
Our Story

We invest in the best products, the best training, and the best equipment — because anything less is a compromise your car doesn't deserve. Every vehicle that leaves The Lab meets our internal quality standard before it meets your eyes.
