DJM Detailing is a certified ceramic coating and detailing studio in Spring Gully, Bendigo, and plenty of our customers come to us from Long Gully 3550. Long Gully is roughly a 15-minute drive from our Spring Gully studio — drop the car on the way to work and it's ready to collect on the way home.
Historic goldfields suburb north-west of the centre, close to the Central Deborah Mine, with older weatherboards on hilly streets and a lot of cars that live on the street in the sun.
We're certified installers for Envoke Pro Coat+ and Angelwax professional ceramic coatings, applied indoors under controlled conditions — which is what most Long Gully customers come to us for. Around that we do everything from a full in-and-out detail to mould remediation, boats, caravans, trucks and farm machinery.
Most requested in Long Gully
Headlight Restoration
Oxidised, yellow or cloudy headlights wet-sanded, machine polished and sealed with a UV coating so they stay clear — brighter at night and better looking in the day.
Paint Correction & Polishing
Single and multi-stage machine polishing to remove swirl marks, scratches, oxidation, water spots and holograms — the foundation for every great coating.
Full Car Detailing (In & Out)
Our full in-and-out detail: deep interior clean, decontamination wash, wheels, glass, trims and a protective finish. The reset button for your car.
Local conditions in Long Gully
Long Gully sits in the same climate band as the rest of Bendigo: roughly 511 mm of rain a year, a January mean maximum of 30.4°C and about 110 clear days (BOM, Bendigo Airport). That's a lot of UV on a car that lives in the driveway or on the street, which is why oxidised clear coat, faded plastics and yellowed headlights are so common here.
Street-parked and driveway cars in Long Gully also pick up the full Bendigo mix — red dust on a north wind, bird droppings under the street trees, bugs from highway runs and water spotting from tank or bore water if that's what you wash with. A ceramic coating stops all of that biting into the paint and turns a weekly wash into a ten-minute rinse.
Getting from Long Gully to the studio
Book by phone or the form and we'll give you a drop-off time at the studio in Spring Gully (about 15 minutes away). Leave the keys, and we'll call when it's ready — same day for most details, next day for ceramic coatings so the coating gets its first cure indoors. You'll get a walk-around under lights when you collect, and a written care guide for coated vehicles.

Long Gully detailing questions
Do you come to Long Gully?
We're studio-based in Spring Gully — you bring the vehicle to us (about 15 minutes away). That's deliberate: coatings and paint correction need clean, controlled, well-lit conditions. For fleets and large farm machinery that genuinely can't be moved we can arrange on-site work.
How long will you have my car?
Most full details are drop-off in the morning, collect the same afternoon. Ceramic coatings and multi-stage corrections stay overnight so the coating cures indoors. We'll confirm timing with your quote.
What do I need to do before drop-off?
Just take out anything valuable or personal if we're detailing the interior. No need to wash it first — the decontamination wash is part of every job.
Do you do headlight restoration for Long Gully work vehicles and fleets?
Yes — single vehicles, tradie utes and scheduled fleet programs. Ask about multi-vehicle pricing, and on-site options for fleets.
