Built on passion...
Square 1 Detailing was built on a long-standing passion for automotive detailing and the pursuit of exceptional results.
Owner and operator Gareth began detailing in 2004, initially working on his own vehicles before turning a passion into a professional pursuit. Over the years, he has continually developed his knowledge through professional training, industry groups and hands-on experience.
Today, Square 1 Detailing provides professional vehicle detailing, paint correction and protection services throughout Canberra and its surrounds. Every vehicle is treated with the same care and attention to detail we would give our own.
We use professional products, equipment and techniques to enhance, restore and protect your vehicle, with a focus on achieving the best possible finish—because it’s the small details that make the difference.
The Square 1 Difference
We offer a comprehensive range of automotive detailing services, from routine maintenance washes and interior detailing through to paint correction, restoration and ceramic coatings. We understand that your vehicle is an investment, and our services are designed to enhance its appearance, restore its finish and provide long-term protection.
Using professional products, equipment and proven techniques, we focus on the details that make the difference—ensuring your vehicle looks its best and stays that way.
Exterior Detailing
Our exterior detail is designed to safely clean, refresh and protect your vehicle’s exterior finish. The process begins with a thorough pre-wash and snow foam to loosen and remove surface contaminants, followed by a careful hand wash using professional detailing products and techniques.
Wheels, tyres, glass and exterior trim are meticulously cleaned before the vehicle is dried using safe, paint-friendly methods. The paintwork is then inspected and, where required, treated for embedded contaminants before a suitable finishing product is applied to enhance gloss and provide protection.
The result is a clean, refined finish that looks great and is easier to maintain.
Interior Detailing
Our interior detail is designed to thoroughly clean, refresh and rejuvenate your vehicle’s cabin. The process begins with a comprehensive vacuum of carpets, seats, mats and hard-to-reach areas, followed by detailed cleaning of interior surfaces, plastics, trims and controls.
Seats and carpets are treated according to their material and condition, with targeted cleaning of areas that require additional attention. Glass is cleaned to a streak-free finish, while interior surfaces are carefully dressed where appropriate to protect against UV degradation.
The result is a fresh, clean and well-presented interior that looks and feels its best.
Ceramic Coatings
Square 1 Detailing is Kamikaze Collection and Angelwax certified, allowing us to offer professional-grade ceramic coating systems backed by specialist training and product knowledge.
Our ceramic coating services provide long-term protection while enhancing the depth, gloss and overall appearance of your vehicle’s paintwork.
The result is a highly durable, hydrophobic finish that helps protect your vehicle from environmental contaminants while making it easier to maintain and keeping it looking its best.
Motorcycle Detailing
Our motorcycle detail is designed to safely clean, refresh and protect your bike’s finish. The process begins with a thorough pre-wash and snow foam to loosen surface contaminants, followed by a careful hand wash using safe, professional techniques.
Wheels, spokes, engine components and trim are meticulously cleaned before the vehicle is dried using safe, touchless methods. The paintwork and chrome are then inspected and, where required, treated for embedded contaminants before a suitable finishing sealant is applied to enhance gloss and provide protection.
Critically, we take specialized care to ensure controls, footpegs, and tyres are kept free of slick dressings, keeping your ride completely safe and road-ready. The result is a clean, refined finish that looks great and is easier to maintain
