Ceramic Coatings in Ipswich, Brisbane and Gold Coast

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds chemically with your vehicle’s paint to form a protective, durable, and glossy layer. It shields against UV rays, dirt, contaminants, and minor scratches while enhancing the car's appearance with a deep, glossy finish. 

The longevity of ceramic coating depends on the product used and maintenance. Professional-grade coatings can last anywhere from 2 to 5 years or more with proper care. 

  Enhanced Protection

• Shields against bird droppings, tree sap, road salt, bug splatter, and harmful UV rays.
• Acts as a protective barrier, preventing damage to the vehicle’s paintwork.

 Extended Paint Longevity

• Forms a durable layer that resists oxidation, fading, and paint degradation.
• Helps preserve the paint’s condition for years to come.

Water and Dirt Repellency

• Hydrophobic properties cause water to bead up and roll off, carrying dirt and contaminants away.
• Creates a self-cleaning effect, making regular maintenance easier.

Our ceramic coating process is included in all paint protection packages and follows these steps:

• Deep cleaning of wheels and arches to remove dirt and grime.
• Snow foam exterior hand wash to thoroughly clean the vehicle’s surface.
• Clay bar and chemical decontamination to eliminate contaminants like road tar, bug residue, and industrial fallout from the paint surface.
• Microfiber drying towel used to avoid scratching, followed by blow drying to remove water from hard-to-reach areas.
• Polishing or paint correction to remove any imperfections and restore the paint’s smoothness.
• IPA (isopropyl alcohol) wipe-down to ensure a perfectly clean surface, free from oils or residues, before applying the coating.
• Tire dressing and window cleaning to complete the exterior.
• Hand application of the ceramic coating of your choice to protect and enhance the paint.
• Vehicle kept indoors for 12 hours to allow the coating to properly cure and bond with the surface.
• 7 Day Follow Up Complimentary Exterior Detail to ensure coating has cured correctly, and to guide you through maintaining your vehicle correctly

While ceramic coatings significantly reduce the need for frequent detailing, they still require proper maintenance and care. Over time, dirt and contaminants can build up and "clog" the coating, which is why regular washing is essential to refresh and maintain its effectiveness. Neglecting this maintenance can lead to the degradation of the coating.

Proper care, cautious driving, and consistent maintenance are key to preserving the coating. However, it's important to note that ceramic coatings do not prevent:

• Scratches and swirl marks (they offer protection against light scratches but not deep ones).
• Impact damage (such as chips or dents from rocks or collisions).
• Chemical damage (they offer resistance but cannot completely protect against harsh chemicals).
• Extreme environmental conditions (they provide excellent UV and oxidation protection but not against severe natural disasters).
• Water spotting (may not fully prevent water spots).

Ceramic coatings are semi-permanent and will gradually wear over time, making regular maintenance necessary to ensure continued performance.

Maintaining your ceramic coating involves regular hand washes using pH-neutral car shampoo and avoiding abrasive tools or automatic car washes. Refrain from using harsh chemicals, and consider annual maintenance checks to extend the coating’s life.
