PREMIUM

PROTECTION
STUDIO.

Your new car starts losing its factory shine the moment it hits Queensland roads. UV, bird droppings, road grime — it all starts immediately. The best time to protect it is before it even arrives.

About Ricardo's

WE TREAT YOUR CAR
LIKE IT WAS OURS.

Ricardo’s Detail Garage has been operating for 7 years. Not a franchise. Not a dealership add-on. A dedicated studio run by people who are genuinely passionate about paint protection and honest about what works.

Australian-Made Products

Nxtzen Graphene Ceramic is SGS lab-tested for Queensland conditions — not imported and retrofitted.

Real Preparation, Every Time

Full decontamination, clay bar, and machine polish before every coating. The prep is where durability is decided.

Aftercare That Means Something

Ricardo’s Aftercare Guarantee is included with every package. We’re not done when you drive away.

Honest Advice — Always

We’ll tell you if a more expensive package isn’t right for your situation. No upselling. Just the right solution.

NEW CAR NOT ARRIVED YET?

We regularly lock in bookings 2 to 6 months ahead of delivery. Get in touch now and we’ll hold your spot for when your car arrives.
