Ceramic coating in Heathcote: black Commodore with glossy paint after a detail

Ceramic paint protection in Heathcote

Heathcote is the Shire's bush suburb, wedged between the Royal and Heathcote National Parks, with homes on sloping, tree-filled blocks along the ridge and the Princes Highway running through the middle. Plenty of locals commute up Heathcote Road towards Liverpool or north along the highway every day.

Cars here get a double dose. At home they sit under gums that drop sap, leaves and bird droppings, and in the shade the paint stays damp for hours. On the road, truck traffic on Heathcote Road throws up grime and tar. A ceramic coating makes sap and droppings easier to lift and lets road film wash off rather than stain.

We apply Gtechniq coatings with a 5 or 9-year warranty from Gtechniq. On a used car the paint is machine polished first, so the coating seals in gloss rather than swirl marks. We also coat cars in nearby Kirrawee and Miranda.

What to expect from a ceramic coating in Heathcote

Bush blocks often mean a carport or a garage at the bottom of a sloping driveway. Both are fine, as long as the car can be parked safely with room to walk around it. Working under cover matters here, so falling leaves and sap don't land on the coating while it cures.

Every job starts with a full wash, decontamination and a clay bar, so the coating bonds to clean paint. Wheels, glass and interior protection can be added on the same visit.

  • On the day: a full wash, decontamination and clay bar, then the coating panel by panel. New cars take about a day; used cars take up to two because the paint is machine polished first.
  • Where: ideally a garage or carport, with a tap and power point within reach.
  • Warranty: 5 or 9 years from Gtechniq, depending on the package.
  • After: no washing for about a week, then a gentle pH-neutral wash every couple of weeks.

Questions from Heathcote customers

Can you coat my car at home in Heathcote?

Yes, ideally in a garage or under a carport so the coating cures dry. You'll need a tap and a power point within reach of the car. We bring everything else.

How much does ceramic coating cost?

From $999. The final price depends on the vehicle size and how much paint correction it needs, so we confirm it in a free quote.

Will ceramic coating stop stone chips?

No. A coating is far thinner than paint protection film, so it won't stop chips from trucks and gravel. What it does is protect the paint from sap, droppings, UV and grime, and make the car much easier to keep clean.

How long does it last?

Our Gtechniq packages carry a 5 or 9-year warranty, provided the car is washed the way we show you.

Can you coat the wheels, glass and interior too?

Yes, as add-ons. Wheel coating makes brake dust easier to clean, glass coating helps in wet weather, and interior protection guards fabrics and leather against stains.

How can I pay?

Cash, card (Visa, Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay or Afterpay, paid when the job is done.
