Ceramic Paint Protection in Melbourne
Ceramic paint protection is a chemical paint sealant that is undeniably the world’s most advanced due to its unique formulas, durability and extremely low maintenance. Your car will look and feel different.
Ceramic Glass Coatings
This is the name given to glass like sealants and are used to improve the shine and harden a painted surface. The name is derived from the use of silica, a component used in the manufacture of ceramic and glass products. In nature silica is most commonly found as quartz (SiO2) and in its purest state has a mineral hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (1-10). A diamond measured on the same scale is 10. The perception of ceramics is that they are opaque and white in colour, but this is not always the case as ceramics exist in a variety of compositions and colours with a wide range of molecular structures. Ceramic coatings are a spin off from the technology N.A.S.A. devised from the ceramic-based paints used on space shuttles for their heat insulation and anti-corrosion properties. Ceramic technology made its way into the automotive care market where they offer a much higher level of protection from various elements. Unlike carnauba waxes, ceramic coatings are inorganic. As such they can be manufactured to be resistant to far higher temperatures than carnauba.Most modern ceramic coatings are typically based on nano-technology. Nano-technology based ceramic coatings offer protection against high levels of pH, extremes of temperature and physical contact from washing and cleaning. Ceramic coatings offer automotive surfaces protection from acid rain, freezing rain, harsh wash chemicals, direct sunlight and even from light swirls (usually caused by poor washing techniques). They form strong chemical bonds with substrates at the atomic level so these coatings cannot be removed using paint cleaners or pressure washers; that is, they will not wash away. Ceramic coatings are extremely durable, optically clear, and provide a high level of shine, particularly effective on metallic paintwork where the metal flake ‘pops’ brilliantly. Their use is not limited to paintwork: ceramic coatings are also available for glass, where their hydrophobic properties are of particular benefit; plastics, where their resistance to UV is beneficial, and also on alloy wheels, where their slick nature and resilience to heat help repel damaging brake dust particles.
The preparation to the painted surface requires the paintwork to be in perfect condition prior to application. Any scratches and swirls in the paintwork need to be removed because once the coating has cured, these imperfections are sealed beneath the ceramic coating. All surfaces to be coated also need to be properly decontaminated and cleansed, ensuring they are completely free from any residues that may interfere with the chemical bonding process. The cleaner the substrate, the higher the number of chemical bonds the sealant can form. Temperature, humidity and environment all have to be controlled in order for the sealants to provide their maximum protection. Once applied, the ceramic sealants we use are guaranteed by the manufacturer for between two to nine years. You will never need to wax again, and you will have a lasting shine. Your car will also be protected from harmful elements, such as UV, acid rain and environmental factors.

Fabric Protection
When you protect your fabric and carpet, you get an assurance that helps lessen these concerns. Your carpet and upholstery stay cleaner, brighter, fresher longer because the protection you have selected is on-the-job protecting against soil and stains – so you don’t have to Carpet and Upholstery Protection is quick drying. It creates a powerful, invisible shield around each fibre to keep dirt, dust and liquids from lodging within the carpet. Our Fabric Protection is specifically designed to keep your vehicle’s carpet and fabric upholstery looking amazing, leaving you with an interior you’d be proud to let passengers experience. Vehicle Interiors are cleaned, killing 99.9% of bacteria and absorbing lingering odours. Fabrics are then protected, sheathing fibres in a protective coating so that spilled liquids are forced to bead, sitting on the surface of the fabric instead of soaking in. These beads can then be easily absorbed by cleaning cloths or paper towel. Our scientifically-tested protection thoroughly cleans fabrics and provides comprehensive, long-lasting protection. The persistent antimicrobial function in the formula is perfect for family cars where small, sticky fingers and/or the family dog are transported.
Leather Protection
A car with a leather interior provides that little bit of extra luxury. Whether you have a vintage, classic or modern car, it is important to protect your leather from the elements. The leather in modern cars can be affected by various factors. Your vehicles air conditioning and heated seats can cause leather to dry out and crack, while direct sunlight, especially in convertibles, will also dry out leather and cause the colour to fade over time. Through general wear and tear, undetectable body oils and acids that naturally come into contact with the leather, and without proper cleaning and protection, leather can crack, peel or discolour. This problem is especially evident when looking at steering wheels, door trims, seats, and other worn areas of an older, unprotected vehicle.
