The right protection starts underneath the coating.
A coating can only look and perform as well as the surface underneath it. Every service starts with a proper inspection and preparation of the paint. Just need a proper clean? We also do car detailing, inside and out.

Straight answers about paint protection
Plain-English guides on ceramic coating, paint correction, warranty terms and how to compare providers.
Answers before you book
Common questions we hear from Gold Coast vehicle owners.
How does a ceramic coating actually work?
In plain English: the coating bonds to a properly prepared clear coat and cures into a hard, slick, hydrophobic surface. On cars we fit Fireball Dok Do+. Nothing here removes the need for correct surface preparation — that is where the finish is made or lost.
Is ceramic coating worth it on a new car?
Yes — provided the paint is properly prepared first. A new car often has transport marks, holograms and light swirls under the lights, and a coating locks all of that in unless the paint is corrected beforehand.
Do new cars need paint correction?
Most new vehicles benefit from at least a paint enhancement. It's common to find swirl marks and dealer wash marks on delivery, even on premium brands.
Does ceramic coating stop scratches?
No. Ceramic coating helps resist minor wash-induced marks and environmental contamination, but it is not scratch-proof or stone-chip-proof. No coating stops a stone chip, and we won’t tell you otherwise.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Durability depends on the product, preparation and how the vehicle is maintained. Eligible packages using Fireball can carry up to a 10-year manufacturer warranty on selected automotive packages. Warranty terms and maintenance requirements apply.
What surfaces are included?
The standard package covers painted panels. Wheels, exterior glass and exterior trims can be added or included depending on the package selected.
How should a coated vehicle be washed?
Use the two-bucket method with a pH-neutral shampoo, clean microfibre wash mitts and separate towels for panels and wheels. Avoid automatic brush car washes.
How long will you need the vehicle?
One day or overnight. Cars that stay overnight are kept safely in our garage. A courtesy car is available, please ask when booking.
Can ceramic coating be applied to an older vehicle?
Yes. Older vehicles often benefit the most from correction and coating, provided the paint is in a suitable condition after inspection.
What is the difference between ceramic coating and PPF?
Ceramic coating is a thin, hard, hydrophobic layer that protects gloss and eases maintenance. PPF is a thicker urethane film that absorbs impact from stone chips and scratches. They solve different problems. We specialise in ceramic coating and don’t fit film.
Can I add window tinting?
Yes. Book paint protection and we'll tint the windows in the same visit at half price: SunTek nano-ceramic film with a lifetime film and installation warranty.
Do you coat caravans and motorhomes?
Yes — this is a specialised part of the business, using coatings suited to large travel surfaces, oxidation and long-term storage.
