Do you work in new-estate garages in Kellyville and Rouse Hill?
Yes. Most newer Hills estates have generous double or triple garages, ideal for the install.
How does winter morning frost affect a coating once it is installed?
Frost is a non-issue. The coating is fully cured within 24 to 48 hours and stable from minus 10 up to 90 degrees. Water beads off before it freezes overnight.
Can you work in Norwest business park carparks?
Yes. We have done plenty of corporate-fleet jobs in Norwest. Just confirm the bay number and the building rules on contractor access.
Our family SUV is covered in school-run scratches and trolley marks. Can they come out before coating?
Almost always. Light wash marks, trolley rash and fingernail scratches around the handles polish out in the correction stage before the coating locks in the finish. Deep scratches that catch a fingernail may need touch-up first, and we flag those at inspection.
Is a garage install better than a driveway one?
A clean garage is the best environment we work in - stable light, no dust and no direct sun. If yours is full, a shaded Hills driveway before 10am works nearly as well and we plan the booking around it.
What is ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to a vehicle's paint surface, forming a chemical bond that creates a protective layer. This ceramic layer provides enhanced gloss, hydrophobic properties, and protection against UV rays, environmental contaminants, and minor scratches.
How long does ceramic coating last?
Our in-house Encue Labs ceramic and graphene coatings range from 3 years (Quartz), 7 years (Diamond), and up to 10 years (Obsidian Graphene). Regular washing and proper care can significantly extend the durability of the coating.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coating offers increased resistance to minor scratches from car washes and light swirls, but it does not make your car scratch-proof. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a better option for robust protection against rock chips and deeper scratches.
What is the process for applying ceramic coating?
Our process involves a thorough assessment, meticulous preparation of the paint surface, and precise application of our in-house Encue Labs coating. This includes decontamination, paint correction if necessary, and careful curing — all mobile, at your driveway.
How much does ceramic coating cost?
Our packages start at $1,000 for Quartz (3-year), $1,200 for Diamond (7-year), and $1,500 for Obsidian (10-year graphene). Contact us for a personalised quote based on your vehicle.
What are the benefits of ceramic coating?
Superior paint protection against UV damage, enhanced aesthetics with a deep gloss, effortless maintenance due to hydrophobic properties, and long-term value preservation. It reduces the need for frequent waxing and polishing.
How do I maintain my ceramic coated car?
Regular washing with pH-neutral car wash soap and a microfibre mitt is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes and harsh chemicals. We provide a full aftercare guide with every coating.
What is the difference between ceramic and graphene coating?
Graphene coatings are generally more durable and offer a higher level of gloss. Graphene is a newer technology often considered a more premium option — our Obsidian Graphene is our top-tier coating with up to 10 years of durability.
Is ceramic coating worth it?
For car owners who want to protect their vehicle's paint, enhance its appearance, and simplify maintenance — absolutely. It offers long-term value by preserving the car's paint condition and reducing the need for frequent detailing.
