Recommendation for detailing and tinting in Melbourne

[DJ.booth]

Hey guys,

I just bought a new Mazda 3 and am looking to get some tinting and detailing done. I came across Tint a Car which is offering ceramic tinting as well as external and internal detailing for $1000.

I am just wondering if anybody has any feedback - I would personally like a professional to do the detailing and then maintain it myself.

Yes to the tint. No to the protection.

Why no to protections?
Are they waist of time and money? Or just because dealer are way to expensive?
Thanks for clarifying this for me.

My 2c is that they are very different skill sets

Tinting by Tint specialist

Paint protections are best done by experienced detailer - preperation of the paint finish being the key detail - (pun intended) in a good detailers work

for the internal treatments I don't have experience on the products to give useful input sorry.

Tintacar is owned by MotorOne. MotorOne supply car dealership type paint protection which is a waste of money.

Thanks.
What about real paint protection.
I’m thinking having ceramic pro 9H done on a brand new deep black Amarok.
Are they good or they are not making a real difference.
Thanks again.

I've tinted 3 cars at Tint-a-Car North Melbourne. Very happy with their work. Wouldn't use them for detailing though.

You could try out Brighton Panel Works, heard they're pretty good. Ring them up to find out their prices mate. Good luck

i had my car tint installed at the detailer (together with the detailing job). the detailer happens to have a partner who does tinting.

but if it were not that way, i'd get the tinting at tint-a-car (for example) and the detailing at a pro detailer shop

Hi everyone - does anyone have any recommendations on the type of film to get for tinting? I'm being talked into the 3M colour stable film, but it seems to be more expensive. Want to get a quality product, but just not sure whether the extra is worth it.
