The philosophy

Appreciating
your assets.

The daily you rely on. The exotic you saved for. The classic you inherited or hunted down. The enthusiast car that keeps you up at night. Each one is an asset — financially, emotionally, practically. What we do protects it, preserves it and makes it worth more in every sense. That's not a marketing line. That's the job.

The standard

Every car.
Every time.
No exceptions.

It doesn't matter if it's a daily driver or a six-figure exotic. The prep is the same. The process is the same. The result is the same. Thomas reviews every enquiry personally, assesses every car at drop-off and handles every install himself. No teams. No shortcuts. No compromise.

7 years in Adelaide. 48 five-star reviews. Not one below five.

What we do

Three ways to protect
what you've built.

01
Paint Protection Film

Front ends, track packs, full body wraps, satin and colour conversions. The film between your paint and everything the road throws at it. STEK DynoShield preferred. Every make and model.

From $2,700

02
Ceramic Coating

We don't believe one coating fits every situation. Tell us how you use your car and we'll recommend the right product for it. SA's only Modesta accredited installer. Undrdog HCC for the daily driver.

From $1,100

03
Paint Correction

Essential prep before any coating, or a standalone tidy-up. Swirl marks, scratches, oxidation. Classics that need denibbing and block polishing. Enhancement polish is where every coating starts.

The story

Built from the
ground up. No shortcuts.

There was a crossroads. Software development on one side. Detailing on the other. Thomas chose the one that made him lose track of time and started doing it out of his mum's garage. That was the beginning.

Three locations later, Thomas Mayer Automotive Detailing is now on a main road in a fully insured commercial premise in eastern side of Adelaide, Magill. Every dollar earned has gone back into the business. No loans. No handouts. No investors. Just the work, reinvested.

We are a small business. We feel the ups and the downs. We rely on every single customer to enjoy their experience because it's the smiles that keep the doors open and the ongoing friendships curated. That hasn't changed from the garage to the workshop.

"When I was a studying, my own car was written off, friends and family lent me their cars to get around in. For payment, I would detail every square inch of the vehicle. My best friend told me to pursue detailing further as he could see how much joy it brought me."

In the workshop

McLaren 750S.

STEK DynoShield. Full body gloss template finish. When the paint costs this much, it's worth spending the time protecting every square inch.

Rare metal

047 of 400.
Subaru 22B STI.

One of 400 ever made. One of a very small number in Australia. When it came to us it deserved the same care it received the day it left the factory. The kind of work you only do once and never rush.

"As soon as I met Tom, I knew I had found the right place."

Gave me options, explained the process and more than happy to answer any questions. First time getting paint correction, ceramic coating and PPF done properly.

"Amazing attention to detail, and the BEST after sales service."

Had a competitor's ceramic coating removed after 10 months and PPF applied instead. Could not be happier with the result or more grateful for the care.

The only Modesta
installer in South Australia.

Modesta is a science-led Japanese glass coating. Multi-layer primer that bonds to a wide variety of paintworks. Infrared heat curing that physically changes the molecular structure of the coating to form a hard, dense glass layer. The gloss has to be seen in person. It doesn't photograph well because it's genuinely three-dimensional. Authorisation requires meeting Modesta's standards. We went to Tokyo for training. No shortcuts.
