Gloved hands dripping ceramic coating onto an applicator pad beside a car on the Sunshine Coast

Sunshine Coast ceramic coating that locks in that showroom shine.

Queensland sun, salt air and bird droppings are hard on paint. A properly applied ceramic coating protects it for years, keeps the gloss looking fresh off the showroom floor, and helps your car hold its value.

Why premium paint needs protecting.

Here's what Queensland conditions do to paint that's left unprotected.

  1. Faded, chalky red paint on a car bonnet damaged by the sun
    01

    Oxidised, chalky paint

    UV breaks down the clear coat until the colour looks flat and dull. Reds and blacks show it first.

  2. Bird dropping and etch marks on the bonnet of a blue car
    02

    Etching from bird droppings and bugs

    Both are acidic. Leave them on a hot panel for a day and they eat a mark into the paint that needs machining out.

  3. Dried water spots across the side of a dark car
    03

    Water spots that bake on

    Sprinklers and rain leave mineral deposits that bake on in the sun. Without a coating they bond to the clear coat.

The process

How a ceramic coating job runs

  1. 1

    Inspection and quote

    We look at the paint under proper lighting, measure it, and talk through which coating suits how you use the car.

  2. 2

    Wash and decontaminate

    Full wash, iron fallout remover and clay to get the surface back to bare, clean paint.

  3. 3

    Paint correction

    We machine polish out swirls and marks first. A coating locks in whatever is underneath, so this step matters.

  4. 4

    Coating and cure

    The coating goes on panel by panel under lights. It needs to stay dry for the first 24 hours while it cures.

  5. 5

    Handover

    Your car comes back protected, glossy and far easier to look after, along with simple washing tips to keep the coating at its best.

He spent over 12 hrs bring the wife's car back to life and made it look brand new again. I highly recommend this legend to anyone anywhere coz he will go out of his way to make it shine for u no matter where u are

FAQs

Questions about this service.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

Anywhere from two to seven years depending on the product and how the car is looked after. We will recommend a coating based on how you use the car.

Do I need paint correction first?

Almost always. The coating seals in whatever is on the paint, including swirls. Even new cars usually need a light polish.

Can it be done at my house?

Yes, if the car can be kept under cover and dry for the first day. A garage or carport is ideal.

Does a coating stop stone chips?

No. It adds hardness and makes the paint easier to keep clean, but it will not stop chips. Paint protection film is the answer for that.
