What Subaru owners should know

Bought to be used: gravel roads, roof racks, boat ramps and full sun.

Subarus get driven the way they were built to be driven. Outbacks and Foresters make up most of the Subaru enquiries we get, alongside Crosstreks, WRXs and Imprezas, and the range now takes in the Forester Hybrid and the electric Solterra and Trailseeker. Nearly all of them live outside. That's the appeal of the make, and it's also why the paint deserves proper protection rather than whatever the car wash leaves behind.

We protect every kind of Subaru:

Gravel roads and boat ramps

Dust, mud and salt end up along the lower doors, sills and rear bar. A coated surface rinses clean far more easily. It won't stop a stone chip, but it makes chips easier to spot and deal with early.

Roof racks and roof rails

Roof bars, bike racks and rooftop tents scuff the roof and the rails around them, and grit trapped under a crossbar grinds in every time it moves. It's one of the few places on an SUV that almost never gets washed properly.

Solterra, Trailseeker and Forester Hybrid

Subaru's electric and hybrid models carry cameras and sensors front and rear, and the Solterra and Trailseeker have a charge port that gets opened every day. Everything sensitive is masked and worked around by hand, never machined or coated over, and a coated finish rinses clean far easier around them.

Clear coat that's already tired

On an older car that's lived outside, we check the clear coat before anything else. If it has already started to lift, no coating will bring it back - that's a repaint, and we'll tell you so before you spend anything.

What Subaru paint is really like

Like most new cars, a Subaru leaves the factory with a modern colour coat under a clear coat. It corrects well, but a car that sees dirt roads, roof racks and Queensland sun loses its gloss faster than one that only sees a garage and a commute. On older cars we measure the clear coat before deciding how much correction is sensible.

Our answer: we prep your Subaru for what its paint actually needs, then lock it in with Fireball.

How the job runs

How We Prep Your Subaru Before It’s Coated

A good ceramic coating will lock in whatever is under it (for up to 10 years!). That’s why every Subaru gets a full day of preparation before a drop of coating goes on.

Full deep wash

A careful pre-rinse and hand wash, so nothing gritty is dragged across the paint.

Decontamination

Don’t Go With the Dealership

Dealer packages run up to $3,000, and too often you get bad prep, a bad product, or both.

Bad prep

Done in a few hours with no machine polish, so yard swirls get sealed in.

Bad product

An unknown brand, with a warranty that depends on who sold it.

Bad price

Not only will dealerships do a bad job, they’ll charge you through the roof for it.

Our answer: a full day of prep, a named Fireball coating and a price in writing.

Questions Subaru Owners Ask

Can’t see yours? Call or text and you’ll get a straight answer.

Will paint protection affect my Subaru warranty?

No. Professionally applied paint protection will not affect your new car warranty.

My Subaru is brand new. Is now the right time?

Yes. It’s the best time, before the car picks up rail dust, yard wash marks and its first summer.

My Subaru is a few years old. Is it still worth it?

Yes. The machine polish brings the gloss back first, then the coating keeps it there.

Should I take the dealer's paint protection on my new Subaru?

You can say no to it. It’s an optional extra. Take the car, then have it prepared and coated properly here in delivery week, for less.

Will it fix swirls and light scratches?

Swirls and light scratches are polished out as part of the package.

How long will my Subaru be with you?

Typically one day or overnight. Cars that stay overnight are kept safely in our garage.

How long does it last?

Fireball coatings are backed for up to 10 years on eligible packages.

When can I wash it?

Give it a week, then a gentle pH-neutral wash is all it needs.

Do you do interior protection?

We don’t. We haven’t found an interior product worth the usual charge, so we’d rather you kept the money.

Can you come to me?

All work is done at our Ashmore workshop, and we can give you a courtesy car if you need one. Please ask when booking.

Do you take Afterpay?

Yes.
