Why Choose Ceramic Coating for Your Car?
Unlike wax or sealants that wear off quickly, ceramic coatings chemically bond to your car’s paintwork, creating a durable, hydrophobic surface. This means:
✅ 5 to 9 Years Protection – depending on your chosen Gtechniq coating
✅ Deep Gloss Finish – mirror-like reflections that turn heads
✅ UV & Environmental Resistance – prevents fading, oxidation & stains
✅ Swirl & Scratch Resistance – harder surface that reduces micro-marring
✅ Hydrophobic Self-Cleaning – dirt, water, and grime simply slide off
✅ Easier Maintenance – wash less, shine more
When you choose Automotive Car Detailing, you’re getting more than just protection – you’re investing in peace of mind with coatings that are scientifically proven and backed by official manufacturer warranties.
Our Ceramic Coating Application Process
At Automotive Car Detailing Melbourne, we follow a strict multi-step process to ensure your coating is applied flawlessly:
Pre-Wash & Decontamination
thorough cleaning to remove dirt, iron fallout, tar, and other contaminants.
Clay Bar Treatment
smooths the surface by removing bonded impurities.
Paint Correction (Stage 1 or stage 2)
For 2025 models around 3 weeks old (dealer delivery), we typically perform a Stage 1 Paint Correction to refine the finish and remove light imperfections.
For older vehicles (prior to 2025 models) with swirl marks, light scratches, or buffer trails, we perform a Stage 2 Paint Correction to fully restore the paint before coating.
This step is critical to ensure the coating bonds to a flawless, corrected surface.
Panel Wipe Down
The paintwork is wiped with a specialised solution to remove any polish oils or residues, ensuring a clean surface for bonding.
Ceramic Coating Application
The Gtechniq coating is carefully applied by hand, one panel at a time, ensuring even coverage across the entire vehicle.
Curing Process
fter application, the coating is left to bond and cure under controlled conditions. Curing time allows the ceramic layer to harden properly, ensuring long-term durability and performance.
Final Inspection
We carry out a full inspection from every angle, making sure the finish is flawless before handing the vehicle back to you.
FAQ - CERAMIC COATING
Ceramic coating has become increasingly popular among car owners for its numerous benefits. This premium protective layer offers long-lasting protection to your vehicle’s exterior, providing a range of advantages that make it a worthwhile investment. Here are some of the key benefits of ceramic coating:
Typically, a quality ceramic coating can serve you robustly for about 3 years or lifetime depending on the coating you choose. Its longevity greatly depends on your car maintenance routine, including how you wash and dry your vehicle.
Despite an initial higher cost, ceramic coating can prove to be an investment that pays for itself in the long run. It protects your car’s paint from significant damage and reduces the necessity for frequent car washes and wax jobs, saving time and money in the process.
Simply put, ceramic coating works to protect your car acting like a second layer of skin. The nanotechnology doesn’t provide this toughness by building up a thick layer but rather works on a microscopic level. As applied, the coating forms a strong bond with the car’s existing paint.
When it comes to protecting your car’s paintwork and ensuring it stays looking shiny and new, two popular options are ceramic coating and wax. While both serve the purpose of enhancing and safeguarding your car’s exterior, there are some notable differences between the two. In this blog post, we will explore the dissimilarities between ceramic coating and wax, helping you make an informed decision on which option is best for your vehicle.
Ceramic coating is a popular choice for car owners looking to protect and enhance the appearance of their vehicle. But does this advanced coating require special maintenance? The answer is yes.
Perfect preservation of your ceramic coated car comes down to one essential chore: cleaning. Master the art with simple tools – a microfibre wash mitt, pH-neutral shampoo, and a two-bucket wash system to prevent scratches and keep the coat shining.
Assessing the suitability of ceramic coating for all vehicles, it is rendered largely inclusive. Whether you own an old classic, a modern sports car, or a family minivan, adherence to ceramic coating is successful on almost all vehicle surfaces.
When choosing a professional ceramic coating service, ensuring a strong warranty is vital. As we are accredited installers for Gtechniq and Onyx YES we offer warranty giving you peace of mind, knowing your investment is protected against blemishes, flaws, or premature wear and tear.
