Question 1

How much does ceramic coating cost in Melbourne?

Accepted Answer

Ceramic coating packages start from $1,295 and vary depending on your vehicle's size, paint condition and the level of protection you choose. Every quote starts with a free inspection so there are no surprises — final pricing is subject to vehicle size, condition, package selection and inspection.

Question 2

Is PPF worth it for a new car?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paint protection film is one of the best ways to protect a new car's paint from stone chips, scratches and road debris. It's a self-healing film that keeps your factory paint looking new for years, which is why it's included in our Shield and Elite new car protection packages.

Question 3

What is better, PPF or ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

They do different things. PPF physically shields your paint from stone chips and scratches, while ceramic coating adds gloss, hydrophobic properties and UV protection with easier washing. For the best of both, many of our clients layer ceramic coating over PPF — especially on new cars.

Question 4

Do I need ceramic coating if I already have PPF?

Accepted Answer

Not strictly, but it's a great combination. Applying ceramic coating over PPF adds extra gloss, hydrophobic properties and UV resistance, making the film easier to clean and maintain long-term.

Question 5

How soon should I protect my new car?

Accepted Answer

As early as possible — ideally before the damage starts. Many of our clients book their protection package before they even collect their new vehicle from the dealer. The sooner you protect it, the more you preserve that flawless factory finish.

Question 6

How long does ceramic coating last?

Accepted Answer

Our ceramic coatings are designed to last 2–9 years depending on the product used, with proper care. We'll walk you through a simple maintenance routine after the job is done to help you get the most out of your coating.

Question 7

How long does PPF installation take?

Accepted Answer

PPF installation typically takes one to three days depending on the coverage — partial front, full front or high-impact zones. We'll give you a clear timeframe when you book, based on your vehicle and package.

Question 8

Can I get tinting, PPF and ceramic coating together?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In fact, combining them is one of the best ways to fully protect a new car. Our Shield and Elite packages bundle PPF, ceramic coating and window tint together, and you can add dash cam installation on top.

Question 9

Do you offer packages for new cars?

Accepted Answer

Yes — new car protection is our specialty. We offer Essentials, Shield and Elite packages designed specifically for new vehicles, each combining inspection, preparation and the right level of protection for your car.

Question 10

Do I need an inspection before getting a quote?

Accepted Answer

Every package starts with a free inspection. We assess your paint condition first and recommend the right level of protection — no upselling, just honest advice. Final pricing depends on vehicle size, condition, package selection and inspection.

Question 11

How long does a full car detail take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the package and condition of your vehicle. An interior and exterior detail can take up to 3 hours. A ceramic coating is a minimum overnight turnaround. We'll always give you a time estimate when you book.
