What does ceramic coating actually do?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds with your vehicle's factory clear coat at the molecular level — forming a long-lasting protective layer that doesn't wash away like wax or break down as quickly as a sealant. The result is a hard, glass-like finish that repels water, resists UV damage, and makes your car significantly easier to keep clean.
On the Gold Coast, where vehicles face intense UV exposure, salt air from the coast, and frequent washing, ceramic coating is one of the best investments you can make for your car's long-term condition and resale value.
- Extreme hydrophobics — water sheets off effortlessly
- UV protection prevents paint fading and oxidation
- Chemical resistance pH2–pH12 — bird droppings, tree sap, road chemicals
- Improved scratch and swirl resistance — GTECHNIQ-rated 9H
- Deep gloss and colour enhancement
- Easier to maintain — dirt and contaminants don't bond to the surface
- Protects and maintains resale value
Choosing protection
Ceramic coating vs wax, sealant and PPF
Every option protects paint to a different degree, and for a different length of time. On the Gold Coast, where salt air and UV wear paint down faster, the difference matters. Here's how they compare, so you can choose what suits your car and budget. Not sure? Ask us and we'll recommend the right option for your vehicle.
Short-term
Wax
Lasts weeks to a few monthsBest forA quick gloss boost between details.
Protects againstLight contamination. Breaks down quickly in heat, UV and regular washing.
Trade-offNeeds reapplying often to keep any protection.
Mid-term
Paint sealant
Lasts several monthsBest forRegular maintenance routines on a budget.
Protects againstUV, water spotting and everyday grime for longer than wax.
Trade-offStill a thin layer. Reapplied as part of a maintenance schedule, such as our maintenance detailing.
What we apply
Ceramic coating
Lasts years with correct maintenanceBest forOwners who want long-term, low-effort protection and easier washing.
Protects againstUV, salt, bird droppings, road grime and chemical staining. Makes the surface hydrophobic and easier to clean.
Trade-offNot scratch-proof or stone-chip proof. Best applied after paint correction, so the finish is locked in flawless.
Physical barrier
Paint protection film (PPF)
Lasts yearsBest forHigh-impact areas like the bonnet, bumpers and mirrors.
Protects againstStone chips and scratches, as a physical layer over the paint.
Trade-offHigher cost, and installed by a PPF specialist. We can coat over film for easier cleaning.

What Surfaces Can We Coat?
We coat every surface of your vehicle — not just the paint. Each surface uses a product specifically engineered for that material.Paint & Clear Coat
The primary application — GTECHNIQ CSL bonds at the molecular level to your clear coat, forming a dense 9H ceramic layer. EXO is then applied on top for extreme hydrophobics and additional gloss. CSL + EXO — up to 5 yearsGlass & Windscreen
Glass coating creates a hydrophobic layer that causes rain to bead and sheet off at speed — significantly improving visibility and reducing the need for wipers in light rain. Dedicated glass coatingWheels & Brake Dust
Wheel coating creates a barrier that prevents brake dust from bonding to the surface — making wheels dramatically easier to clean and keeping them looking cleaner for longer between washes. Brake dust resistantTrim & Plastics
Exterior plastic and rubber trim is prone to fading and going grey over time from UV exposure. Trim coating protects against UV degradation and keeps black trim looking dark and rich. UV protectionLeather & Fabric
Interior coating protects leather, alcantara, and fabric surfaces from spills, staining, and UV fading. Creates a liquid-repellent barrier that makes interior maintenance significantly easier. Stain & UV resistantFull Vehicle Package
Get every surface coated in one visit. Paint, glass, wheels, trim, and interior — complete protection from the inside out. The most cost-effective option if you want full coverage. Best valueWraps, Vinyl & PPF
Ceramic coating is fully compatible with vinyl wraps, paint protection film (PPF), and colour-change wraps. Coating over your wrap adds UV protection and extreme hydrophobics, significantly extending the life and appearance of the film. Wrap & PPF compatibleMatte & Satin Finishes
We use specific matte-safe ceramic coating products for matte, satin, and flat finish paint and wraps. Standard coatings can add unwanted gloss — our matte-compatible products protect the finish without altering its appearance. Matte-safe products
Our process
What happens before, during and after your coating
01
Decontamination wash
Full exterior wash including iron remover, clay bar, and pH neutral rinse. The paint must be surgically clean before any coating is applied.
02
Paint correction (if required)
Any swirls, scratches or defects are corrected before coating — applying CSL over defects locks them in permanently. We assess the paint and advise accordingly.
03
CSL application
Crystal Serum Light is applied panel by panel and levelled immediately. The coating begins bonding at the molecular level to the clear coat and must cure for 12 hours before moisture exposure.
04
EXO top coat
Applied 2+ hours after CSL. EXO adds an extreme hydrophobic sacrificial layer on top — boosting gloss, water repellency and adding an additional layer of protection.

Common questions
Ceramic coating — everything you need to know
Answers to the most common questions about ceramic coating on the Gold Coast.It depends on your paint's current condition. Ceramic coating doesn't hide defects — it locks them in permanently. If your paint has visible swirl marks, scratches, or oxidation, we strongly recommend correcting those before applying the coating. We inspect every vehicle before application and will give you an honest recommendation. Check out our Paint Correction page for more details.
GTECHNIQ rates Crystal Serum Light for up to 5 years of protection with proper maintenance. On the Gold Coast, vehicles are exposed to intense UV, salt air, and frequent washing — all of which can accelerate coating wear. We recommend using a pH neutral shampoo and avoiding automatic car washes to maximise longevity. EXO as a top coat adds an additional sacrificial layer that refreshes the hydrophobic properties.
For most car owners on the Gold Coast — yes. The Gold Coast climate is particularly harsh on paint, with strong UV and salt air accelerating paint degradation. Ceramic coating protects your investment, maintains resale value, and dramatically reduces the time and cost of keeping your car clean. It's a long-term investment, not an expense — especially if you're planning to keep the vehicle for several years.
No — we only ever apply ceramic coatings under cover. GTECHNIQ CSL needs to be applied indoors and the vehicle kept dry for at least 12 hours afterwards, and a coating applied in the open is exposed to sun, wind, dust and moisture that can ruin the finish. A garage, carport or covered carpark works well. If you don't have access to a suitable space, let us know and we'll work with you to find a solution.
Ceramic coated vehicles are easier to maintain but do still need regular washing. Use a pH neutral car shampoo and avoid automatic car washes — the harsh brushes and chemicals can degrade the coating over time. A regular maintenance detail with us is the ideal way to maintain the coating's performance and keep your car looking its best year-round.
No — and anyone who tells you otherwise isn't being honest. Ceramic coating adds a GTECHNIQ-rated 9H layer that provides significantly better scratch and swirl resistance than bare clear coat, but it is not scratch proof. It will resist light washing swirls and minor abrasions, but a key scratch or stone chip will still penetrate. For maximum scratch protection, Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the appropriate product.
Our ceramic coating packages start from $600 + GST for a brand-new car (No Correction, single layer), $1,080 for Enhancement, $1,400 for Single Stage and $1,720 for Dual Stage, depending on how much paint correction the car needs first. Wheels start from $300 and interior coating from $300, both + GST. The final price depends on the vehicle's size and the condition of the paint, and we'll confirm it after inspecting the car.
It depends on which surfaces you want coated and the condition of the vehicle. Jobs can take anywhere from around 6 hours to 3 days, and a vehicle that needs significant paint correction first will take longest. We'll give you a time estimate once we've inspected the car.
Wait at least one week before washing with anything other than a rinseless wash. Until then, keep the car dry and sheltered where you can, and use a rinseless wash if it needs a clean. After that, use a pH neutral shampoo and avoid automatic car washes.
Often, yes. A covered apartment basement or a garage works well, as long as we have space to work around the vehicle and the area is out of the weather. Tell us about your parking when you enquire and we'll confirm it suits.
A new car is an ideal candidate, because the paint is at its best and there's less to correct before coating. Many new cars still arrive with transport or dealership marks, so we inspect the paint first and advise whether any correction is needed.
Wax and sealant sit on top of the paint and wear off in weeks to months. Ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and lasts years with the right care, and it makes washing easier. See the comparison on this page for how they stack up, or ask us which suits your car.
