Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a car’s exterior surfaces that chemically bonds with the factory paint, creating a layer of protection.

It offers a long-lasting semi-permanent protective layer against environmental contaminants, UV damage, and minor scratches, while enhancing gloss and ease of cleaning.

Graphene coating is an advanced form of protection that uses graphene, a nanomaterial known for its strength and flexibility.

It provides a slicker, more durable layer of protection than traditional ceramic coatings, offering better heat dissipation, water-repellent properties and chemical resistance.

Ceramic coating offers benefits such as protection from UV rays, chemical stains, and oxidation, while enhancing the vehicle’s gloss.

It makes cleaning easier by repelling dirt and water, and adds a durable layer of defence against minor scratches.

Both ceramic and graphene coatings provide excellent protection.

Graphene coatings tend to offer better durability, UV and chemical protection, and enhanced hydrophobic properties, making them more effective in hot Aussie conditions.

While many dealerships offer ceramic coating, getting your car ceramic coated by a specialist detailer provides better results.

In some instances, our customers have reported that the dealership use a spray coating which only lasts a few months and don't carry the necessary preparation process like paint decontamination and paint correction.

Specialist detailers, like Viridian Detailing, have the expertise and time to ensure thorough preparation and professional application.

Dealerships prioritise speed and volume, which can lead to a less precise application. For superior protection, enhanced gloss, and long-lasting results, it’s best to choose a detailer experienced in ceramic coating.

The duration of a ceramic coating service varies depending on the vehicle’s condition and the level of detailing required. Generally, services are completed within 24 hours.

Yes, ceramic coatings can be applied to matte paint.

The matte-specific coating will not alter the matte finish and will provide the same protective benefits, such as UV and chemical protection and ease of cleaning.

Our professional range of coatings from Gtechniq and Ethos is guaranteed for up to 9 years and 10 years respectively for paintwork on cars.

Proper maintenance and care can extend its longevity.

Our annual maintenance washes and inspections can help ensure the coating continues to perform effectively.

While ceramic coating provides a hydrophobic layer that repels water, it cannot completely prevent water spots. However, it reduces the risk by making it easier to clean off any residue before spots form.

While ceramic coating significantly reduces the frequency of washing, it doesn't eliminate the need entirely.

The coating acts as a protective layer, making it easier to clean your vehicle and extending the time between washes.

Regular washing is still recommended to remove accumulated dirt, maintain the coating's effectiveness.

Yes, ceramic coating provides longer-lasting protection compared to waxing.

A waxing solution lasts up to 6 months, whereas a semi-permanent ceramic coating can last up to 9-10 years. It offers superior durability and requires less frequent reapplication whilst enhancing gloss and depth of the paint.

Ceramic coating provides a protective layer that enhances gloss and makes cleaning easier, while Paint Protection Film (PPF) offers a physical barrier that absorbs impacts from rock chips and deeper scratches. Combining both can provide comprehensive protection.

Ceramic coating on glass enhances visibility in rainy conditions by allowing water to bead and roll off quickly. It also helps reduce the need for wiper usage, making driving safer in wet conditions.

It’s recommended to wait at least 7 days before washing your car after ceramic coating application to allow the coating to fully cure and bond to the paint. View our complete post-ceramic coating maintenance guide here.

Ceramic coating doesn’t make your car scratch-proof.

It provides a durable layer of protection that can help prevent minor scratches and swirl marks from marring the paint.

Ceramic coating will not change the colour of your car. It enhances the natural gloss and depth of the paint, making it appear more vibrant, but it won’t alter the original hue.

Ceramic coating can be applied to paint, glass, wheels and plastics.

Whilst ceramic coating is a semi-permanent solution, it can be removed through a process called paint correction or polishing. Get in touch to ensure proper removal without damaging the paint.

Yes, ceramic coating provides a protective layer that helps prevent bird droppings, tree sap, and other contaminants from etching into to your vehicle’s paint.

We recommend to remove these contaminants quickly with a lubricant and clean microfibre towel to avoid potential damage.

While DIY entry-level ceramic coating kits are available, professional application is recommended for best performance and durability.

We have access to professional-only grade ceramic and graphene coatings which offer better performance and durability.

We ensure proper surface preparation, even application, and full curing to maximise the coating’s durability and protection.

To maintain your ceramic coating, it's essential to wash your car regularly using a pH-neutral soap, avoid automatic car washes and hand-car washes and schedule an annual maintenance wash and inspection to maintain the coating performance and durability.

We have a comprehensive guide available here.

Ceramic coating does not protect against rock chips or larger impacts. For protection against rock chips and road debris, we recommend using a Paint Protection Film (PPF) in conjunction with ceramic coating.

Yes, ceramic coating can be applied over vinyl wraps and Paint Protection Film (PPF) to add an extra layer of protection and enhance hydrophobic properties.
