What is a Ceramic Coating?
A Ceramic coating is a LONG LASTING Protective coating that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect against external paint damage and natural elements such as;
- UV Rays
- Road Grime
- Bug Squash
- Tree sap
- Tar
- Bird Droppings,
- Industrial fallout
- + more
Ceramic Coating is a nanoscopic paint treatment that’s applied in liquid form, but cures to form a hard layer over your vehicle’s paint. When the chemicals bond with your car’s paint, they create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) effect which keeps your car looking great and makes it much easier to wash and maintain.
One of the main reasons why we recommend ceramic coating your vehicle is due to the protection it provides from UV rays. Overseas car manufacturers don't take into account the ferocity of the Australian sun. A Ceramic coating will keep your vehicles paint and clear coat from fading and cracking, ensuring your vehicle looks and performs its best for years to come.
Ceramic Coatings are also extremely good at Elevating the GLOSS of your vehicles paintwork and produce a SHINE unlike anything else on the market.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating your vehicle
Ceramic coatings offer superior protection for your vehicle's paint, making them one of the best investments for long-term car care. Unlike traditional waxes or sealants that wear off quickly, ceramic coatings create a strong, semi-permanent bond with the paint, forming an ultra-durable layer of protection. This advanced technology repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making it easier to keep your car clean while reducing the frequency of washes.
The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coatings ensure that water beads up and rolls off, taking dust and grime with it, which helps maintain a glossy, showroom-like finish for years. Additionally, ceramic coatings provide excellent resistance against oxidation, UV rays, bird droppings, and chemical stains that can cause fading, etching, or discoloration over time. Their high-gloss finish enhances the depth and clarity of the paint, giving your vehicle a sleek and polished look.
Beyond aesthetics, ceramic coatings also reduce the chances of minor scratches and swirl marks, preserving the integrity of your car's exterior. For those looking to maintain their vehicle’s value and minimize the need for frequent detailing or repainting, a ceramic coating is a smart, long-term solution that ensures lasting shine and protection.
Ceramic Coating Process
The application of a ceramic coating is a meticulous, multi-step process designed to ensure maximum durability, protection, and shine. It begins with a thorough exterior wash using a high-quality pH-neutral shampoo to remove dirt, grime, and previous waxes or sealants, ensuring a clean surface.
After the initial wash, the paint decontamination stage follows, where an iron remover is applied to dissolve embedded contaminants such as brake dust and industrial fallout. A clay bar treatment is then used to further remove any stubborn particles, leaving the paint smooth to the touch.
Once the surface is decontaminated, we complete a multi stage paint correction. This step involves machine polishing to eliminate swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other imperfections, restoring the paint’s clarity and depth. Paint correction is crucial because ceramic coatings lock in the surface's condition, and any imperfections left untreated will become permanently sealed under the coating.
Next, we prepare the surface using an isopropyl alcohol (IPA) wipe-down to remove any remaining oils, residues, or polishing compounds, ensuring the ceramic coating bonds properly with the paint.
Finally, once the vehicle is absolutely perfect, the ceramic coating application begins. The coating is carefully applied in small sections using an applicator pad, allowing it to bond to the surface before being buffed off with a microfiber towel.
Once applied, the coating undergoes a curing process, which can take several hours to a few days, during which the vehicle should be kept dry and free from contaminants. When done correctly, this process results in a high-gloss, hydrophobic, and ultra-durable protective layer that enhances the car’s appearance while providing long-term resistance against environmental damage.
How to Maintain your Ceramic Coating
Tips: How To Keep Your Car Looking Flawless
One of the biggest advantages of ceramic coatings is their ease of maintenance compared to traditional waxes and sealants. The coating forms a strong, hydrophobic barrier that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, reducing the need for frequent cleaning while keeping your car’s paint looking glossy and protected. However, proper maintenance is still essential to maximize the lifespan and performance of the coating. Here are some expert tips to keep your ceramic-coated vehicle in top condition.
1. Use a pH-neutral car shampoo. Always wash your car with a high-quality, pH-neutral shampoo that is free from harsh chemicals or wax additives. Harsh soaps can degrade the hydrophobic properties of the coating over time.
2. Follow the two-bucket wash method. Use the two-bucket method—one bucket for clean soapy water and another for rinsing your wash mitt. This minimizes the risk of scratching the coating with dirt and debris.
3. Avoid automatic car washes. Touchless washes are fine, but avoid automatic car washes with rotating brushes, as they can cause swirl marks and gradually wear down the coating.
4. Use a microfiber drying towel. After washing, use a soft microfiber towel to dry the car. Avoid air drying, as water spots can form, especially if you live in an area with hard water.
5. Apply a silica spray every few months. To enhance and prolong the hydrophobic properties, apply a silica-based spray sealant every two to three months. This boosts water repellency and maintains that just-coated shine.
6. Remove bird droppings and contaminants immediately. Even though ceramic coatings provide resistance to stains, acidic substances like bird droppings, bug splatter, and tree sap should be removed as soon as possible to prevent etching.
7. Avoid washing in direct sunlight. Wash your car in the shade or during cooler parts of the day to prevent soap and water from drying too quickly, which can cause streaks and water spots.
8. Do not use wax or harsh chemicals. Ceramic coatings eliminate the need for traditional waxes. Using wax or polish can create buildup and reduce the effectiveness of the coating. Stick to products designed specifically for ceramic-coated vehicles.
By following these simple maintenance steps, you’ll enjoy longer-lasting protection, as a well-maintained coating can last several years. Cleaning will become effortless, as the slick surface repels dirt and makes washing much easier.
Regular care enhances gloss and shine, keeping your car looking like it just left the showroom. Your paint will also maintain its resistance against UV rays, oxidation, and environmental contaminants.
With proper care, your ceramic-coated vehicle will remain in pristine condition, turning heads wherever you go while maintaining its resale value.
