Blade, who worked alongside Lee from the day the shed door first rolled up, now personally carries out every detail, from paint correction to ceramic coatings, ensuring every customer deals directly with the person working on their vehicle.
Together, Salli and Blade continue to build on the reputation Lee established, combining his high standards with their own passion, precision, and commitment to exceptional results.

Customers regularly point to the same things: attention to detail that’s hard to find anywhere else, honest advice about what a car actually needs, and a finish that still looks great years down the track.
Wouldn’t take our cars anywhere else the passion and quality is second to none. Highly recommend the end result speaks for itself.Legend
Have just picked up my third car after having ceramic coating applied. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Blade’s attention to detail is unmatched. He takes immense pride in his work and always turns out a vehicle that looks amazing.
Modern cars have such thin paint coatings it just makes sense to protect what you have. It doesn’t take a lot of additional time to follow Blade’s easy instructions to maintain the finish and keep that new car look. After two years people often comment on how good my Hyundai Tucson looks.
Looking forward to taking care of the next one. Thanks.
We couldn’t be happier with our car! I had it completely detailed inside and out & it shines better than when we bought it new. My husband was really wrapped about this year’s birthday gift.
Blade and his team did an amazing job.
He offers honest and reliable service of the highest standards.
If you want your car to look it’s absolute best go and have a chat with Blade.
We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Blade went above and beyond from start to finish. I’m incredibly happy with the ceramic coating on my car and his attention to detail was next level. He was very thorough with the handover to explain everything properly. You can tell he takes pride in his work and customer service. Highly recommend.
Blade is an absolute-passionate-perfectionist in his workmanship for ceramic coating of cars. We recently purchased a new car with ceramic coating as an option and then cancelled in order to have enough finances to purchase the vehicle. I saw Blade the following morning after bringing our baby home and I thought I am just going to get some car wash products get back the remainder of my deposit I had paid for the ceramic coating job to be done in the future. Blade went through the workmanship of the other party and showed me all the defects in the ceramic coating that I am glad I did not have to pay a huge sum of money for to protect the micro thin paint job. It was so bad, it was enough to take it back to the dealership and make them redo it. However, with the products being used by the dealership and the technical incompetence of the “kids” doing the work at the dealership, I would not even bother to ask. I will not shame the dealership but I would never recommend a dealership to put a ceramic coating on a new car. Let Blade do it at half the cost and let him have the car for a few days so he has the time to properly do the job. With respect to caring for the current ceramic coating on the car which will only last six to 12 months as opposed to seven years, Blade gave me some excellent tips of how to wash my car that were not covered in the owner’s manual. Trust Blade, he is a top gun in the world of ceramic coating for cars.
Brought the car in not expecting to be able to do much with it considering the condition. Picked it up looking like a completely different car. Done a killer job highly recommend wouldn’t go anywhere else
Best polish and ceramic coat job ive ever seen. Made my coupe like new. an amazing job. thanks guys worth every cent. i couldnt recommend you higher
Went above and beyond to restore my interior & upholstery. Thought seats were beyond hope due to heavy soiling from running a food & delivery business, but they were restored to near new condition. Worth every dollar spent.
All the other reviews are spot on. Blade does an excellent job walking you though the whole process, pointing out the defects and scratches he can and can’t fix. In the end, he overdelivered, going just that little bit further than he promised. We couldn’t be happier with result, and wanted to leave a genuine review to recommend him to others. You won’t be disappointed.
Thank you to Blade at LAD Auto Detailing. When I was looking for someone to fix the scratches that were on my car when I bought secondhand I asked for recommendations LAD Auto Detailing stood out for me. Blade was great to deal with and went over and beyond for me from the beginning. On top of that, he’s super friendly, easy to chat with, and makes the whole experience feel personal. My car has never looked better and was absolutely stoked with the results. I’ll definitely keep coming back for any future repairs.
Highly Recommend
After finishing our travels around Australia our Hilux really needed some love. Blade was great to deal with and went over and beyond for us from the beginning. Our Hilux came out looking brand new. We couldn’t have asked for a better service. We will definitely be going back!
