Targeted sanding
Where polishing alone isn't the right approach, defects can be levelled locally. Paint condition and available material are assessed first, then the area is refined back through the polishing stages.
Assessed case by case
Automotive detailing studio · Sunshine Coast
Built to expose what the finish is hiding.
Our Corbould Park studio is built for work that needs control: machine correction, targeted sanding, deep interior restoration, window tint, Gtechniq ceramic coatings and LLumar PPF, all done under dedicated lighting with commercial equipment and uninterrupted access to the vehicle.

Why the studio exists
The environment is part of the process.
Routine maintenance and general care can be done extremely well in a mobile setting. The studio exists for work where lighting, contamination control, equipment and consistent conditions directly change what we can see and how precisely we can work.
01
Consistent inspectionThe car is assessed under the same controlled lighting before, during and after refinement, so progress is measured, not guessed.
02
Uninterrupted accessCorrection, film, tint and interior work carry on without relying on weather, shade or the light at someone's driveway.
03
Commercial equipment on handExtractors, dual-motor vacuums, polishing and sanding systems and specialist lighting stay set up for the work.
Lighting and defect detection
If we can't see it, we can't correct it.
The same panel looks completely different depending on the light. Switch between the three light sources we use in the studio and see what each one reveals.

Core studio capability
What happens inside these walls.
The studio is set up for finishing work that goes beyond a normal detail. Some cars need a light refinement. Others arrive with sanding marks, previous polishing damage, heavily contaminated interiors or film work that needs a clean installation environment.
01 · Paint refinementMachine correction
From Cut & Polish gloss enhancement ($399) through single-stage ($699) and multi-stage correction ($1,099) for swirls, haze, oxidation and polishing damage.
Paint correctionInterior restoration
Commercial extraction, deep vacuuming, interior chemistry and disassembly where the condition needs more than a normal cabin clean.
Deep Interior 04 · Controlled film installWindow tinting
Window film installed indoors, away from wind, weather and the dust of an open outdoor environment. From $349.
Window tinting 05 · Physical protectionLLumar PPF
Paint protection film prepared and fitted with the lighting and panel access accurate fitment needs. Front End from $3,199.
LLumar PPF
06 · Surface protectionCeramic coatings
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Ultra, applied after the paint is corrected and inspected under studio lighting. From $1,499.
Ceramic coatingsInterior restoration
Sometimes extraction isn't enough.
Most interior work is cleaning, extraction and restoring the existing materials. In rare cases contamination has travelled through the carpet, underlay or trim, and the affected parts need to come out of the car.
We've stripped and rebuilt interiors after fuel and chemical contamination, including replacing AMG carpet, underlay and affected trim when cleaning alone couldn't reasonably restore the cabin.
Rare capability · assessed individually
Strip.Inspect.Replace.Rebuild.
Where the car and the contamination suit the work, the studio gives us the room, equipment and uninterrupted access to remove affected components and rebuild the cabin properly.
Contamination work is assessed case by case. Quantum Detail is not a hazardous materials remediation provider and may decline work that needs specialist hazardous material handling.
Commercial equipment
Built for repeated professional use.
The point of the studio isn't how the workshop looks. It's having the right environment and equipment ready when the car needs it.
Vacuum systemsDual-motor commercial vacuumsHigh-capacity units for deep cabin work and constant studio use.
ExtractionCommercial carpet extractorsFor upholstery and carpet where embedded contamination needs deeper removal.
ChemistryProfessional-grade chemicalsChosen around material compatibility, contamination type and the job in front of us.
InspectionScanlight correction towersHigh-CRI lighting for the most critical paint defect detection.
RefinementMachine polishing systemsMachine, pad and abrasive combinations for different paints and correction stages.
SandingTargeted sanding equipmentUsed selectively where a defect needs controlled levelling before polishing.
FilmPPF and tint installation toolsDedicated kit for preparation, fitment, finishing and inspection.
LightingTunnel and hex illuminationBroad and directional light sources that keep the finish readable across the bay.
Built from the work backwards
From bare workshop to purpose-built studio.
When Paint Protection Pro and Sunshine Coast Detailing joined Quantum Detail, the specialist protection work came under one brand and the Corbould Park facility was rebuilt around the work we wanted to do here. Lighting, flooring, bays and equipment were placed around correction, protection and restoration, not added as decoration afterwards.
2023Quantum Detail founded on the Sunshine Coast.
Jul 2025Sunshine Coast Detailing and Paint Protection Pro join Quantum Detail.
Oct 2025The Corbould Park studio is rebuilt and opens.
Nov 2025Paint Protection Pro retires. Its protection work continues here.
Studio and mobile
Different work needs different environments.
Quantum Detail and Sunshine Coast Detailing are built to work together. Mobile detailing is ideal for regular care at home or work. The studio is where cars come when the work benefits from fixed lighting, specialist equipment and a controlled indoor space.

Before you drop it off.
Unit 1, 38 to 40 Claude Boyd Parade, Corbould Park QLD 4551, between Caloundra and Kawana on the Sunshine Coast. Cars are dropped off and collected Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
Paint correction, targeted sanding, Gtechniq ceramic coatings, LLumar paint protection film, window tinting, new car protection and complex interior restoration are all studio work. Regular mobile detailing at home or work is done by our sister business, Sunshine Coast Detailing.
Swirls, haze, holograms and sanding marks only show under the right light. We use broad hex lighting to read the whole car, tunnel lighting to read panel shape and reflections, and Scanlight high-CRI towers to find the fine defects we correct, so the result is checked under the same light it was worked under.
Yes, selectively. Targeted sanding is used where polishing alone won't remove a defect. We assess the paint condition and available material first, then refine the area back through the polishing stages. It's assessed and quoted case by case.
Often, yes. Most interiors can be cleaned and extracted. Where contamination has gone through the carpet, underlay or trim, we have removed and replaced the affected parts, including AMG carpet. Each job is assessed individually, and we may decline work that needs specialist hazardous material handling.
Book online through our Square booking page, call 0458 165 810, or send us photos through the contact page if you're not sure which service the car needs. We'll assess it under the studio lighting and recommend the level of work that actually makes sense.
