Ceramic Coatings – Paint Protection
As one of the oldest and most experienced studios in North Queensland, doing ceramic coatings since 2014, we are proud to hold certifications from both Gyeon and Xpel, two of the largest global paint protection brands leading the industry. These professional grade, high-solid ceramic coatings are designed to protect your vehicle from the harsh environment we experience in Townsville for many years, all while drastically reducing the time it takes to wash and dry your pride and joy.
Ceramic coatings are also typically referred to as “glass coatings”, “quartz coatings”, “nano-ceramic coatings” and many more. These are simply synonyms for the same family of products and are mainly used in marketing to try and differentiate themselves from others. Silicon-dioxide (SiO2) is the base carrier chemical that all these products are made from but varying quality, concentration, manufacturing process and list of many mixed in additives alter the characteristics and performance of these coatings. While the coating is important, the way in which it is applied, cured and how the vehicle is prepped is the most important part of the process. Even the best coatings in the world will fail prematurely if the installation is poor or rushed.
If you have any questions about ceramic paint protection, please don’t hesitate to contact us or come by our studio to view the full range.
Level 1 Ceramic Coating Packages
Even though these are our entry level ceramic paint protection coatings, these outperform most top tier coatings on the market today and many of the older coating technology that we used to use many years ago, when we first started using coatings in 2014. These single layer applications are ideal for consumers that want a professional, certified coating with warranty, that will last for many years, while still being at a great price point.
Both these coatings are certified professional use only and not available for retail use.
Coatings available to choose from: Gyeon Flash EVO or Xpel Fusion PLUS Lite
Cost effective solution
One layer ceramic application
Very slick hydrophobic surface that helps repel dirt and liquids
3-4 year lifespan (Real world vehicle use in North QLD weather)
$999-$1,199 [Vehicle required overnight]
Level 2 Ceramic Coating Package
Our most popular ceramic coatings from Gyeon and Xpel which offer far more durability than our entry level coatings and offer more gloss and depth to paintwork. A very noticeable difference to your paintwork’s shine giving that “wet look” that most enthusiasts strive for. The paintwork feels very slick to touch and resists water spotting incredibly well, with very tight water beading from the extreme hydrophobic properties of the coatings.
Gyeon’s most groundbreaking advancement in ceramic coating technology is their all new formula INFINITE EVO. This is the world’s first coating based on fluoro modified polysilazanes (there’s a fun phrase to say three times fast) as opposed to silicon dioxide coatings that for the last decade have been infused with other chemicals such as Silicon Carbide (SiC), Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) and lately Graphene Oxide (GO).
Both these coatings are certified professional use only and not available for retail use.

Additional Protection Options
Interior Protection Package
To protect your interior from spills and make cleaning easier, a complete interior treatment of your textiles, leather and alcantara is a must. Concentrated with UV absorbers and high chemical resistance, these coatings preserves your dashboard, seats and trims from premature discoloration, cracking and aging. Offsets (does not completely stop) color transfer, staining and normal wear-and-tear.
$399-$499
Wheels and Calipers
On many modern vehicles brake dust build on wheels can be a pain to keep clean, especially on any performance European vehicles which have aggressive brake pads for increased braking performance. A ceramic coating, designed for high heat applications (rated to 350 degrees), can be applied to the wheel faces and inside the barrels of the wheels to minimise the amount of brake dust that sticks to the surface. Cleaning of the wheels is also much easier with only a blast of high pressure water being needed in most situations.
$399-$499
Windscreen
A ceramic glass treatment can be applied to the outside of the vehicle’s windscreen, to provide an extremely hydrophobic layer to increase visibility during rain. The airflow over the vehicle at speeds over 50km/h causes the water beading to shoot of the windscreen allowing windscreen wipers to become much more effective and in certain situations not even required to be used. The other benefit is to minimise the possibility of water marks etching into the glass and make cleaning the glass easier to do. Three layers are applied to the windscreen to increase durability for up to 50,000km.
