Long-Lasting Protection With Ceramic Coating
Ceramic coating is one of the best ways to protect your car’s paintwork from Sydney’s harsh conditions. Unlike wax or sealants that wear off in weeks, a professionally applied ceramic coating forms a durable, hydrophobic barrier that shields your car from:
UV rays and fading
Oxidation and environmental contaminants
Bird droppings and tree sap
Road grime, tar, and water spots
Plus, it enhances your paint’s depth and clarity, keeping your car looking newer for longer—with less washing and maintenance.
Our Ceramic Coating Process
1. Paint Decontamination
Before applying any protection, it’s essential to ensure the surface is 100% clean and free from contaminants that can affect the final result. This multi-step decontamination phase removes everything your standard car wash misses.
✅ High-pressure snow foam rinse – We begin with a thick layer of snow foam to loosen dirt, grime, and surface contaminants. The foam breaks down particles without rubbing, reducing the risk of swirl marks.
✅ 3 bucket hand wash – Using the industry-leading 3-bucket method (one for wash, one for rinse, and one for wheels), we gently hand wash all surfaces including wheels, tyres, wheel arches, and door jambs. This method ensures maximum cleanliness and zero cross-contamination.
✅ Iron fallout & clay bar treatment – Next, we use a specialised iron remover to dissolve embedded metallic particles like brake dust, followed by a clay bar treatment that lifts bonded contaminants such as tree sap and industrial fallout. This step leaves the paint ultra-smooth and ready for correction.
2. Paint Correction & Enhancement
Even brand-new cars often have imperfections from the factory, transport, or poor washing techniques. Our paint correction stage removes those defects to bring your paint to life.
✅ Stage 1 Paint Enhancement – Single stage machine polish that removes light swirl marks, oxidation, and surface imperfections—restoring depth, clarity, and gloss to your vehicle’s paint with a noticeable improvement in shine.
✅ Stage 2 or Stage 3 Paint Correction– A multi-stage polish that removes moderate to heavy swirls, scratches, and oxidation. The process is adjusted based on your vehicle’s paint condition—greatly improving the look and feel of your car.
✅ Restores True Colour and Clarity -Deeper colour, better reflection, and that crisp clarity you see on high-end show cars.
✅ Continual Removal of Defects – Once the defects are removed, we refine the paint surface even further. This is a critical stage before applying the coating.
✅ Gloss Enhancement Polish – We refine the finish using ultra-fine polish to boost gloss, smoothness, and colour vibrancy—perfectly preparing the paint for ceramic bonding.
✅ Perfect Surface for Coating – A properly enhanced surface ensures the ceramic coating bonds correctly and looks its best under all lighting conditions.
3. GTECHNIQ Ceramic Coating Application
We finish with the application of Gtechniq’s premium ceramic coatings—some of the most advanced protection products available on the market today.
✅ Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light – Up to 5 years of protection
- This high-gloss, durable coating resists chemicals, UV rays, bird droppings, and swirl marks. Ideal for drivers who want long-term protection with minimal maintenance.
✅ Gtechniq Serum Ultra – Up to 9 years of protection (+ $300 upgrade)
- The pinnacle of ceramic technology. Offers increased hardness, enhanced gloss, and maximum resistance to chemical staining and micro-marring. Perfect for high-end or heavily used vehicles.
Once applied, the coating bonds chemically with the paintwork, creating a strong, slick, and hydrophobic layer that makes water bead and dirt slide right off.
Commonly Asked Ceramic Coating Questions
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that’s applied to a car’s paintwork to create a permanent or semi-permanent protective layer. Once cured, it forms a hard, glossy barrier that repels water, resists dirt, UV rays, and light scratches—keeping your car cleaner and shinier for longer.
It depends on the product used and how well the vehicle is maintained. At Proficient Details, we offer:
✅ Gtechniq Light – Up to 5 years of protection
✅ Gtechniq Ultra – Up to 9 years of protection
Regular washing with pH-neutral products and avoiding harsh chemicals will help maximise its lifespan.
Absolutely. While wax lasts a few weeks and sealants a few months, ceramic coatings last for years. They also offer better resistance to UV damage, chemicals, and environmental contaminants—and they make cleaning much easier thanks to their hydrophobic properties.
Ceramic coatings are not bulletproof, but they do provide a level of scratch resistance against light swirls and marring caused by washing or everyday contact. For deeper protection, they pair well with Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Yes, and you should! But we recommend hand washing only with pH-neutral shampoo and microfibre mitts to avoid damaging the coating. Avoid drive-through car washes, as they can cause swirl marks.
No coating makes a car 100% maintenance-free, but it significantly reduces the time and effort needed to keep your vehicle clean. Dirt and water won’t stick as easily, and you won’t need to polish or wax your car regularly.
Yes – in fact, the sooner the better. Even new cars often come with paint imperfections or contaminants from transport. We’ll properly decontaminate and correct the paint before sealing it with a ceramic coating, giving it the best start.
Definitely. Most used cars benefit even more from ceramic coating after a full paint correction, which we include in our process. It restores gloss, removes swirl marks, and protects your investment for years to come.
