Ceramic coating · Perth

Ceramic coating in Perth, done properly.

A ceramic coating is a liquid glass layer bonded to your paint. Once cured it’s harder than clear coat, so UV, bird droppings, bore water and road grime sit on the coating instead of etching your paint. Water beads and runs off, dirt doesn’t grip, and the gloss stays for years, not weeks. We’re a BLASK certified installer in Willetton, and every coating we apply is registered to you with a written warranty.

What’s the difference between the packages?

Essential ($890 to $1,190, 3 years). One layer of BLASK coating over a gloss-enhancement polish. Paint, headlights and taillights are coated, and the wheel faces are ceramic coated. The right choice for a car you’ll keep three to four years, or a lease.

Signature ($1,290 to $1,590, 5 years). Our most popular package. Two layers of coating over a one-stage machine polish that removes light swirls. The wheel faces are ceramic coated, so brake dust rinses off. Glass coating can be added for $330, and a full interior detail with leather coating for $550.

Platinum ($1,890 to $2,190, 10 years). Three layers over a two-stage paint correction, which removes the swirls and fine scratches most cars already have. The wheels are coated and you take home a car care kit. Add the interior coating for a full interior detail with leather protection. For a car you’re keeping, or a dark colour you want mirror-flat.

Prices are set by vehicle size: hatch, sedan or coupe, SUV, and 4x4 or large SUV. See every price on the booking page.

What happens on the day

  • Decontamination wash. Snow foam, two-bucket wash, iron fallout remover and a clay bar. New paint isn’t clean paint: transport film residue, rail dust and fallout all come off here.
  • Polish or correction. Essential gets a gloss polish. Signature gets a one-stage machine polish. Platinum gets a two-stage correction, which takes most of a day on its own.
  • Panel wipe. Every surface is wiped with a solvent so the coating bonds to bare clear coat, not polish oils.
  • Coating. Applied panel by panel in our enclosed, climate-controlled studio, then levelled and left to cure. Dust, humidity and temperature are controlled, which is why we never coat in driveways.
  • Handover. Your warranty card, aftercare instructions, and a walk around the car with us.

Essential and Signature usually take a day, Platinum two. We never rush a coating. We’ll give you a pickup time when you book.

How long does it last, and what do I need to do?

The coating lasts the length of its package, 3, 5 or 10 years, when it’s looked after. Looking after it is easy: wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo, avoid automatic brush car washes, and don’t let bird droppings sit for days. A yearly Inspection & Refresh ($250) keeps the BLASK warranty valid: we decontaminate the car, inspect the coating and top up the hydrophobic layer. Read our care guide.

Ceramic coating vs dealer paint protection

Most dealer “paint protection” is a sealant sprayed on in the prep bay in a few minutes, with no paint correction, and sold at a price that’s often rolled into the finance. A true ceramic coating is a different product and a different process: hours of decontamination and polishing first, then a coating that cures into a hard layer with a warranty in your name. Ask the dealer what product they use and who applies it. If they can’t say, it isn’t a ceramic coating.

Add window tint and save

Add SunTek window tint to any coating package and the tint is 10% off. Both are done in the same visit.

Questions

Can you coat a used car?

Yes. Signature and Platinum include machine polishing, so a car with a few years of swirls comes up like new before it’s coated. For heavy damage we’ll tell you honestly what a correction can and can’t fix.

Does a ceramic coating stop stone chips or scratches?

No. It resists fine swirls and chemical etching, but a stone or a key will still mark the paint. For stone-chip protection you need paint protection film, which we don’t offer.

Is my car safe with you?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and all vehicles are stored inside our locked and alarmed premises.

Can I pay through a novated lease?

Yes. Choose Novated lease when you book and we invoice your provider directly. How it works.
