Ceramic coating that starts with the paint underneath.
Ceramic Coating — explained plainly.
Ceramic coating is a thin, hard, hydrophobic layer that bonds to prepared paint. It resists UV, chemical etching and light wash marring, and dramatically reduces how often the vehicle needs to be washed.
Long-lasting gloss
A deeper, wetter reflection that holds up for years, not months.
Easier to wash
Contamination bonds less aggressively — a rinse removes most of it.
UV & chemical resistance
Helps protect against Gold Coast sun, bird lime, tree sap and industrial fallout.
Hydrophobic behaviour
Water beads and sheets away, carrying dirt with it.
Before & after
What Preparation Does to the Finish
This bonnet was photographed halfway through the job in our Ashmore workshop. The left half is how it arrived: oxidised, hazy and covered in fine wash swirls that flatten the reflection. The right half has been machine-polished in stages to level those marks out of the clear coat, then sealed with Fireball ceramic coating, so the colour reads deep again and the reflection is sharp. Every package includes this correction step before any coating goes on.
How the work is done.
- Step 01
Wash & decontamination
Safe hand wash followed by chemical and clay decontamination to remove bonded fallout.
- Step 02
Paint inspection
Panels are inspected under specialist lighting to plan the correction stage.
- Step 03
Machine polish / correction
Swirls, holograms and light defects are refined so the coating bonds to healthy paint.
- Step 04
Panel wipe & coating
Every panel is stripped of polishing oils, then the coating is layered by hand.
- Step 05
Cure & final inspection
The coating is left to flash and cure under controlled conditions before final inspection.

Questions we're asked most often about this service.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Durability depends on the product, preparation and how the vehicle is maintained. Eligible Fireball packages carry up to a 10-year manufacturer warranty. Terms and maintenance requirements apply.
Does ceramic coating stop scratches or stone chips?
No. Ceramic coating resists light wash marring and chemical etching but is not impact-proof. Light marks in the clear coat are polished out before it goes on.
Does the paint need to be corrected first?
In almost every case, yes. Coating over swirls or holograms locks them in permanently.
How should I wash a coated car?
Two-bucket method with pH-neutral shampoo, clean microfibre mitts, and separate wheel tools. Avoid automated brush washes.
