01
UV & chemical resistance
Bird droppings, tree sap, road salt and industrial fallout can't reach the paint underneath. The coating takes the hit, the panel stays original.
Paint Protection
That actually lasts.
GTECHNIQ-certified ceramic systems, applied by hand, backed by a written guarantee up to nine years. The paint protection that outlasts wax, sealants and dealer packages. Engineered for Australian conditions.
01The term
What “paint protection”
actually means.
There are three things people mean by paint protection. Dealer paint-protection packages are usually a basic sealant marked up at the point of sale, and they wear off. Paint protection film (PPF) is a physical film that's excellent against rock chips and impact, but it's a different product at a different price point. Ceramic coating is the long-term answer for most vehicles: a hand-applied, chemically bonded layer that protects for years, not months.
02Why ceramic
The paint protection
that outlasts the rest.
02
Hydrophobic self-cleaning surface
Water and grime bead and roll off rather than clinging to the paint. Washing becomes faster, contamination has less to grip.
03
Increased surface hardness
Crystal Serum Ultra is rated to 10H on the pencil hardness scale, significantly above factory clear coat. Marring and light swirling dramatically reduced.
04
Showroom gloss, intensified
The coating sits on top of your clear coat as a perfectly level layer. Light bounces off it cleanly. Paint colour appears deeper, reflections sharper.
Proof, in motion
Water can't touch it.
Hydrophobic by science.
A real ceramic coating doesn't just look protective. It behaves protectively. Water beads and rolls. Contamination has nothing to grip. The paint underneath stays untouched.
03The comparison
Compare honestly.
Pick what fits.
Different products solve different problems. Here's how ceramic coating stacks against the alternatives, with no hand-waving.
01
Wax / sealant
Lasts
2 – 6 months
Typical cost
$50 – $500
Cheap and easy, but wears off in months. Useful for a short-term lift, not protection.
Best for: A quick boost before a weekend
Cons vs ceramic
Wears off in months. No real chemical or UV resistance.
02
Dealer paint protection package
Lasts
6 – 12 months
Typical cost
$1,000 – $2,500
Usually a basic sealant added at the point of sale. Convenient, but often overpriced for what it actually delivers.
Best for: Convenience at the point of sale
Cons vs ceramic
Often a marked-up sealant. No serious written guarantee.
03
Paint protection film (PPF)
Lasts
7 – 10 years
Typical cost
$4,000 – $10,000+
A physical film that's outstanding against rock chips and impact damage. Premium price, ideal for high-value or hard-driven cars.
Best for: Rock chips, track use, high-end builds
Cons vs ceramic
3 – 7× the price of ceramic. Visible film edges on some panels.
04
Ceramic coating
Lasts
5 – 9 years
Typical cost
$1,199 – $1,499
Hand-applied, chemically bonded. Best all-round protection-per-dollar for daily and weekend cars.
Best for: Everyday paint protection that lasts
