Noctis is a by-appointment car detailing studio on Jalan Pemimpin. Paint correction, ceramic coating, PPF and tint, by hand, one detailer per car. Correction from S$680.
Book a paint inspectionBrush washes, sap and rushed coatings leave dark paint hazy. We measure it, correct it and seal it, one detailer start to finish.
Darren Ong and Farah Iskandar, founders. Ten years in a dealership paint shop before Noctis.
Most cars need two or three of these, in this order. We inspect first, recommend only what your paint needs, and quote each one separately so you can stop wherever you like.
Take the swirls out. Don't just fill them in.
We measure clear-coat depth on every panel with a paint gauge, then machine-polish in stages under 5600K and 3000K lights until wash marring, holograms and water spots are gone. No glazes or fillers that wash off in a month.
A hard, slick shell the rain slides off.
A 9H-rated ceramic coating bonds to the corrected clear coat and cures under infrared lamps. Water beads and sheets away, bird droppings and sap wipe off instead of etching, and the gloss holds through Singapore sun and monsoon rain.
200 microns between your paint and the PIE.
Self-healing urethane film, cut on our plotter for your exact model and wrapped around edges so the seams disappear. Stone chips, keys and car-park door dings land on the film, not the paint, and light scratches heal in the sun.
A cooler cabin that stays LTA-legal.
Nano-ceramic films reject up to 90% of infrared heat without turning the front glass dark, so you keep the 70% windscreen and 50% front-side light transmission LTA requires. No metal layer, so phone, GPS and ERP signals stay clear.
The part of the car you actually sit in.
Steam, extraction and pH-correct cleaners for leather, Alcantara and fabric, then a matte conditioner so seats feel new rather than shiny. Air-con vents are steamed and the cabin gets an odour treatment for the post-gym, post-kids, post-durian smell.
Drag across a black bonnet from last month's two-stage correction: same light, same angle, before we started and at handover. Every car leaves with a sheet like the one beside it.
Drag, or use the arrow keys once the slider is focused.

“I thought the swirls on my black saloon were permanent. Darren showed me the readings first, then took them out in three days.”
“Booked the front PPF before a drive up north. Two months of expressway stone chips later, the bonnet is perfect and I still can't find the edges.”
“The only wash I trust on a coated car. No brushes, no rush, and photos of every panel when it's done.”

Darren and Farah spent a decade fixing paint for a dealership before opening Noctis on Jalan Pemimpin in 2016. The rule they brought with them: one detailer owns your car from inspection to handover, so nothing gets lost between shifts.
The studio is by appointment only. Your car stays indoors in a sealed, dust-filtered bay the whole time, under CCTV and fully insured.
The six questions owners ask us most, answered before you book. Anything else, WhatsApp a photo of your paint and we will reply within two hours.
Ceramic coating starts from S$880 for a 2-year coat on a saloon, S$1,480 for 5 years and S$1,980 for 7 years with a one-step polish included. SUVs and MPVs add 15 to 25 percent. Prices include GST, and you get a fixed written quote after a free 30-minute paint inspection.
Between two and seven years, depending on the grade you choose and how the car is washed. Sun, heavy rain and bird droppings are hard on any paint, so we include a free 4-week check and recommend a pH-neutral hand wash every two to four weeks. Automatic brush washes shorten coating life the most.
Choose PPF if stone chips and scratches worry you, and ceramic coating if you mainly want gloss and easy washing. Film is a 200-micron physical layer that self-heals light scratches; coating is a thin, hard layer for shine and water beading. Many owners film the front and coat everything else.
A maintenance wash takes about two hours and an interior reset about five. Ceramic coating needs one to two days including curing, a two-stage correction with coating takes three to four days, and full-body PPF about five. You get a fixed handover date when you book, plus daily progress photos.
LTA requires at least 70 percent visible light transmission on the front windscreen and at least 50 percent on the front side windows; rear glass can go darker. Our nano-ceramic films keep the front legal while rejecting up to 90 percent of infrared heat, and we hand you the meter reading at handover.
We are on Jalan Pemimpin, off Marymount Road, about five minutes' walk from Marymount MRT on the Circle Line. Packages from S$1,280 include free pickup and return within 10 km of the studio. For shorter jobs, wait in our lounge with coffee and Wi-Fi, or we will book you a ride home.
Thirty minutes under our lights, paint-depth readings on every panel and a written quote. No obligation and no hard sell.
