Detail Lab is a car detailing studio in Singapore, built on years of experience working with major dealerships and international trainers on paint care protection suited to a tropical climate. The team frames its approach around four attributes: craftsmanship, premium products, attention to detail, and mindset — with deep technical expertise in paint correction across both Continental car paintwork and newer water-based finishes.
Detail Lab holds the position of Singapore's only Authorised Importer for its range of car care products and is a Swissvax Detailing Partner, giving clients access to Swissvax's latest waxes, coatings and leather care products, including Swissvax Leather Milk and Swissvax Autobahn wheel coating. Services span new car preparation, synthetic paint protection coatings, multi-stage paint correction, Swissvax wax rejuvenation, an Enthusiast Car Spa wash, a dedicated Wheel Spa, leather and interior reconditioning, and specialised care for matte/frozen paint finishes, as well as industrial fallout and alien spot removal, dent removal, a courtesy car, and car pickup & delivery.
The studio is based at Premier@Kaki Bukit, and clients can reach the team directly through Ben for enquiries and bookings.
For car owners in Singapore who treat their vehicle's paintwork as a serious investment, Detail Lab positions itself as a studio built on technical expertise rather than a quick wash-and-go. The team draws on years of experience working with major dealerships and international trainers, applying that background to a holistic approach to paint care suited specifically to Singapore's tropical climate.
Detail Lab frames its philosophy around four attributes: craftsmanship, premium products, attention to detail, and mindset. On the craftsmanship side, the team has years of hands-on experience with Continental car paintwork as well as the newer generation of water-based paintwork, aiming for what they describe as a Show Car Finish. On products, Detail Lab holds the position of Singapore's only Authorised Importer for its range of car care products, and is a Swissvax Detailing Partner — giving clients access to Swissvax's latest waxes, coatings, and technical knowledge directly through the studio.
At the core of Detail Lab's work is paint correction: a painstaking, multi-stage polishing process aimed at removing the hairline scratches and swirl marks that build up from careless washing or polishing over time. The team says it has experience across a wide range of cars, from fragile, aged vintage paint to modern lacquers, tailoring the approach to each vehicle.
For cars that spend most of their time exposed to Singapore's harsh weather, Detail Lab also offers a range of tough, fully synthetic protective coatings, built to resist strong UV exposure, acid rain, and industrial pollutants — some of which have even been tested to resist fire without damaging the paintwork underneath.
For owners who have just collected a new car, a New Car Preparation session refines the factory finish and removes impurities picked up during transport and storage, finished with a choice of Swissvax wax or PPS protection. The Detail Lab Wheels Spa takes a similarly careful approach to rims — removing wheels for proper cleaning of stains, brake dust and grime, then applying coatings like Swissvax Autobahn before hand-torquing bolts back to spec on reinstallation.
Interior care is handled through leather and interior reconditioning, using products including Swissvax Leather Milk to clean, restore and protect car leather without drying it out. Detail Lab also caters to the more specialised end of paint finishes, with trained solutions for matte and frozen paint surfaces — which stain more easily than conventional gloss clearcoats — and for industrial fallout or 'alien spot' contamination, such as iron oxide filings picked up near shipyards or sandblasting facilities.
Rounding out the service list are an Enthusiast Car Spa wash for owners wanting to maintain a scratch- and swirl-free finish between full details, dent removal, a courtesy car for customers without alternative transport, and car pickup & delivery for added convenience. Detail Lab also runs a retail shop covering accessories, interior products, wax, wheel care, leather care, and kits from its Master Collection and Opaque Series ranges.
Detail Lab is based at Premier@Kaki Bukit, 8 Kaki Bukit Ave 4, #02-03/04, Singapore 415875. Enquiries can be directed to Ben, either by phone or email, and the studio also maintains a presence on Twitter, Facebook and Pinterest.
