Every brand paints differently — clear coat hardness, thickness and finish all change how a car should be prepared. After 25+ years we know what each of these makes needs before a coating goes on. If your make isn't listed, we almost certainly still work on it.
HoldenThere are no new ones left - which changes the whole job.
HondaA make with a known clear coat history - and a good reason to protect it early.
HyundaiThe one make where the manufacturer has already acted on the paint.
KiaCheck the mirror caps. That is where it starts.
MazdaSoul Red Crystal is beautiful, thin, and expensive to repair.
MitsubishiWhen the clear coat goes milky, it is failing - not dirty.
NissanWork utes, tourers and family cars - all of them living outside.
SubaruBought to be used - which is exactly why the paint needs help.
SuzukiThin factory paint on a car that gets used hard.
ToyotaAustralia's most common paint — and one of the softest.
VolkswagenSoft paint, sharp cars - and a finish that shows everything.
FordAustralia's best-selling ute, and a finish that rewards a close look.
GWMIf yours is dark, it may already have been polished badly.
INEOS GrenadierA brand-new marque - so check what you actually took delivery of.
IsuzuIt starts on the cab roof - and on a ute this tall, nobody ever sees the roof.
JeepFactory paint that varies panel to panel, on a vehicle built to get scratched.
Land RoverBuilt to be taken off road. Bought to look like it never was.
BYDThe thing to check on a BYD is underneath the paint.
Hyundai IONIQChips at 5,000km that most cars do not see at 100,000.
Kia EVMeasured thin - not just reported thin.
MGThin paint, and the free colour is the thinnest.
PolestarMinimal design leaves defects nowhere to hide.
TeslaMeasured thinner and softer than the industry standard - by an independent inspection.
ZeekrNew to Australia - which is the whole opportunity.
AudiThe one make where waiting genuinely costs you money.
BMWTwo BMWs, two completely different paint jobs.
LexusAmong the softest paint of any make - a drying towel is enough to mark it.
Mercedes-BenzSome of the hardest factory clear coat there is - and it takes the time it takes.
