Ceramic Coating for Rims
Brake dust and road grime won't stick to properly coated wheels. Our specialised rim coating application protects alloy, forged, and painted wheels from corrosive brake dust buildup and makes cleaning effortless with just a hose rinse. The coating withstands high temperatures from performance braking systems while maintaining the factory finish on expensive wheel sets.
Glass & Windshield Protection
Hydrophobic glass coating transforms driving in Queensland storms by causing water to bead and roll off at speeds above 60 km/h. This reduces wiper usage and improves visibility during heavy rain while protecting against salt spray and mineral deposits that etch unprotected glass. The coating lasts up to 2 years and makes removing bugs, tree sap, and bird droppings significantly easier.
Interior Leather Protection
Premium interior coating creates an invisible barrier on leather seats, steering wheels, and trim panels that repels sunscreen, food stains, and dye transfer from clothing. The coating preserves the natural feel and breathability of leather while preventing cracking and fading from intense UV exposure. Spills clean up easily without leaving permanent marks on expensive interior surfaces.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does ceramic coating compare to PPF films?
Ceramic coating provides chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties that make washing easier, while PPF offers physical protection against stone chips. Coating is ideal for preserving paint gloss and preventing environmental damage, whereas PPF better suits high-impact areas like bumpers and mirrors. Many owners combine both for comprehensive protection.
What's the cost of ceramic coating?
Professional ceramic coating ranges from $800 for entry-level 2-year protection to $2,500 for premium 7-year coatings with comprehensive paint correction included. The investment varies based on vehicle size, paint condition, coating grade, and warranty length. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific vehicle and protection needs.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Our coatings last 2-7 years depending on the grade selected. Premium coatings with proper maintenance and our care plan can protect for up to 7 years with annual inspections. Environmental factors like UV exposure, washing frequency, and storage conditions affect longevity.
Can ceramic coating be applied to matte paint?
Yes, we use specialised matte-safe ceramic coatings that preserve the factory satin finish without adding unwanted gloss. The coating protects against UV fading and staining while maintaining the distinctive matte appearance that many luxury and performance vehicles feature.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coating provides scratch resistance against light marring from washing and environmental contaminants. However, it won't prevent deeper scratches from keys, shopping carts, or road debris. The coating significantly reduces swirl marks from improper washing techniques.
Will ceramic coating change my car's appearance?
Quality ceramic coatings enhance paint clarity and depth while adding a glossy, wet look. The improvement is most noticeable on dark colours and metallic finishes. Matte coatings preserve the original satin appearance without adding shine or altering the factory finish.
