UV Protection · Ceramic
Australian UV is among the harshest in the world. A ceramic coating is your paint's sunscreen — blocking the rays that fade, chalk and oxidise unprotected clear coat.
The Melbourne Sun
Unprotected clear coat under constant sun fades, chalks and eventually cracks.
Melbourne swings from scorching summer days to harsh UV even on cool days. Over time that radiation breaks down the resins in your clear coat — reds go pink, blacks go grey, and the finish loses its depth.
A ceramic coating adds a UV-resistant layer that takes the hit instead of your paint. It's the difference between a car that still looks deep and glossy in five years and one that's visibly faded.
FAQ
It dramatically slows it. A coating blocks a large share of UV, so the clear coat underneath stays protected and the colour stays deep far longer.

Light oxidation can be corrected back to gloss before coating. Heavily cracked or failed clear coat may need respray — we'll assess and tell you honestly.
