Paint protection treatment is an extra but optional service offered initially by dealerships mainly to new car buyers, however, over years there are now more experienced professional ceramic coating applicators and advanced products in the market leaving some original products obsolete.
The service to apply paint protection is a tedious one and involves a large process of paint preparation and the application of a combination of clear chemicals on top of the car’s original paint so the two can bond.
The applied layers form a sacrificial layer and shield the paint from damage resulting from scratches, tree sap, stone chips, and bird droppings. It also aids in maintaining the factory-fresh look on a new car by ensuring the paint doesn’t fade by reducing UV exposure from the atmosphere. This can be achieved without any noticeable change on the car’s surface, other than the usual expectations being a high gloss slippery finish
The paint protection process is one of the best low-maintenance and reliable ways of keeping a car looking as good as possible for years depending on which product you choose and the quality of the application. The cost of this service is not definite and usually varies depending on the type of paint protection, the make & model of the car, and the applicator’s experience. High-quality ceramic and graphene coatings can be driven home in the rain within 2 hrs of application
New car paint protection
Introducing Australian-made nano ceramic paint protection coatings – One of the standout protective coating products in Australia and Europe and for good reason. This paint protection surface coating product has been tested by industry experts, chemical processes and professionals with reference to the highest industry standards and is certified to meet the D6-17487 specification.
Exterior paint protection
The product features a high-performance ceramic formula of Silicon Dioxide (Si02) Silicon Carbide (SiC) Titanium Dioxide (Tio2) and Graphene. The result is a coating that gives the raw paintwork durability and a long-lasting shine. Thanks to the coating’s abrasion-resistant nature, you don’t have to worry about waxing or shining your new car’s paint.
The paint protection coating is also hard, and the universal MOHs Hardness Scale has tested this. The scale, which ranks the resistance level of substances, rates the product as four times harder than the usual quartz-based surface protection products offered today.
Overall, supporting Australian manufacturing is not only a benefit but offering one of the highest grades in coatings and one of the best protection products currently offered by authorized applicators like Melbourne Mobile Detailing paint protection.

When it comes to paint protection, we’ve all heard it all before – the usual salesperson offer at the car dealership once you’ve made a decision on the vehicle you want. Do you want to include window tint, interior protection, and paint protection for the extra 10% price of the car’s total cost? Its only a few extra dollars on the weekly finance
The question to ask in this situation is, “isn’t the paint already on the car protecting it?” Well, that’s true – the clear coating found on the car’s paintwork is meant to safeguard it as well as maintain its pristine appearance. However, it needs regular maintenance to ensure it is appearing and performing at its top level, particularly in the harsh climatic conditions of Australia. So is car paint protection worth it?
Autotriz nano ceramic paint protection
Different types of car paint protection worthwhile from Autotriz Australia
Is taking up the salesperson’s offer worth the trouble, or is paint protection the remedy most individuals think it is? First, let’s explore the various kinds of paint protection and the purported advantages they provide.
Paint protection has been in existence for as long as the cars they are meant to safeguard.
The very standard type of paint protection is humble wax, which is used to protect a whole range of surfaces. Specialist like David Chapman, from Floor Coverings claims
“though simple, wax is a magical product when it comes to ensuring the protection and longevity of so many surfaces.”
From flooring to cars, wax is intended to augment the paintwork it’s smeared on.
Though wax has protective properties, it can wear off quite fast, particularly when subjected under hot conditions. The application is relatively simple, particularly if you are looking to recreate the well-known ‘wax-off, wax-on’ method from the Karate Kid.
A level up from waxes are paint sealants. Paint sealants can be a polymer-based and mostly a man-made product.
According to Gold Coast auto repair shop owner Kerale Browne ,the benefits of paint sealers are
“They deliver more durability, usually having a shelf life of up to 6 months or more depending on the maintenance of the car, as well as offering excellent dirt repelling properties and shine.”
According to Kerale, the application process is the same as a conventional wax but delivers superior protection.
The latest advancement in paint protection is the use of glass or ceramic coating. This is often the type of paint protection the salesperson at the dealership will present to you, alleging it is scratch resilient and will last for the lifespan of the car.
It may sound too good of an offer, and it is!
However, this doesn’t suggest that this type of paint coating is a waste of cash, but by knowing how they function and having realistic anticipations, you can make a decision as to whether this coating fits your needs.
Glass or ceramic coatings can be a combination of silica-based products on top the current clear coat.
They usually have a negative charge, which enables them to repel dirt and dust actively while at the same time delivering a high capacity of repellence to water and other contaminants like bird droppings. They are also resilient, with most of them lasting up to 2 years or more, depending on maintenance.
Glass and ceramic coating make maintaining the paintwork clean much faster and easier, given how dirt and typical road grime find it difficult to stick to the coating.
A ceramic coating can also boost the paint gloss level, which makes it more reflective and shiny.
Is paint protection for you? Car paint protection worth it? Well how much do you enjoy cleaning your car and how much time would you like to spend cleaning it?
This is a question you’ll need to think over.
If the car stays outside for the duration of its lifespan, you’ll want the cleaning process to be easy and paint protection can assist you to achieve that.
If you will be keeping the car in the garage most of the time, and only take it out when the sun is out, a quality wax job will be sufficient to ensure your car looks amazing.
“One thing for sure is that looking around for paint protection outside the car dealership can significantly relieve your back pocket.” There are an array of quality dealers who can apply the paint protection at a more affordable price as compared to the car dealership.
The upshot? You will be getting a protected car that looks amazing for years on end and you’ll end up saving a lot in the process.
If your car is in need of some much deserved paint protection, or requires some detailing, contact our friendly team at Melbourne Mobile Detailing today!
So is car paint protection worth it? We think so especially when using quality nano ceramic coatings from Autotriz Australia

Silica in paint protection coatings – How much is too much?
There’s a new spiel being spread in the paint protection industry to reel in more customers and I have recently had a few concerned and confused clients asking me about 100% Silica coatings that they have been preached about
As a passionate ceramic coating applicator I had to do the research and contacted a few coating chemists from overseas. The result – I can officially tell you that there are no ceramic coatings in the world without a liquid carrier. For more information on coating options
When a ceramic coating company claims that they have a solvent free coating, it means that they are not considering hydrocarbons as solvents, but only alcohol based as such. In some countries hydrocarbons are considered as solvents. When they claim that it’s a non-flammable liquid, they mean that the flash point is higher than 63 degrees (Celsius). In this case, it’s considered as a NON-flammable liquid. The temperature below 63, and close to it, is considered as a low flammable liquid (grade 3) similar characters to diesel fuel. Simply put – It’s all a big marketing hoax in my professional opinion!
We have discovered these companies that claim 100% solvent free use products called Alkoxisilanes and are all hydrocarbon based with a high flash point, that’s all it is.
Application of such coatings are exactly the same as all others and sometimes even trickier These same companies claim to have a 100% silica product. You simply CAN NOT apply 100% silica! Remember the rule – There has to be a liquid carrier. whether it’s alcohol based or solvent based, and it has to take some percentage of the formulation.

Nano ceramic paint protection coatings and some of their issues. We believe its important to be informed when choosing the right paint protection option for your new car
Written by George Bayios from Melbourne Mobile Detailing
We have made a list of the multitude of questions that many of our clients want to know the answer to, but are sometimes too worried to ask.
“I am aware of all the benefits and positives of having my car treated with a coating but what are some of the problems, issues or negative aspects that can come with a ceramic coatings?“
At Melbourne Mobile Detailing (MMD) transparency and honesty is everything, I have been running this business for over 10 years now and while I did start off with the usual wash, cut and polish or interior vacuum the last 6 years I have only specialised in paint correction and ceramic coatings while aiming for a 5 star service from start to finish. So to answer this question ..
Are ceramic coatings a invisible force field, that is bullet proof, scratch proof and no matter what happens will never be affected? Absolutely not!!!
Sadly this industry has been over exaggerated and many distributors, applicators and/or neighbours have promised the world only to come out short
Although what you will find is that most problems related to ceramic coatings can be rectified by having a professional applicator that not only informs you but makes you aware of these possible issues, educates you on how to prevent them, and explains why they exist.
Education is key and once explained properly then it becomes a lot easier to understand the how, what and where these issues may arise from and how to reduce the risk of such complications

Issue #1: The upfront cost and weighing out the benefits.
Yes, ceramic coatings are expensive (Genuine coatings by a reputable brands are) and that upfront cost is difficult for many prospective clients to wrap their head around. $800 + for a 2 year coating? $1,000+ for a professional grade coating? But its a good idea to keep in mind that these prices include preparation and the cost of materails including the coating itself
I find the best way to break down this issue is with the following. How much value will the coating add to the vehicle?
If the coating does what it says (and is guaranteed if you are purchasing from a certified applicator that offers a genuine warranty) and your vehicle looks very similar to the way it did when you first purchased it, the increase in overall value is going to easily surpass that up front cost of having the coating applied?
Either in resale or trade in value, simply the protection it self will cover the up front cost of the coating, not to mention the much reduced price of having a detailer or detail shop cut into your paint work, wax and seal the vehicle 2, 3, 4 times a year which in turn will minimize the paint thickness and cause more damage then good over a few years.
If you are paying $200 to have the vehicle waxed 3 times a year, in as little as two years you have recouped the cost of a professional grade coating, while receiving much better protection and not causing unnecessary damage to your paint work
Issue #2: Water spotting/etching
Yes, ceramic coated vehicles can be susceptible to water spots, but so is every other type of vehicle. The key here is taking proper care to dry the vehicle, or if using automatic car washes, making sure they have a spot free rinse at the end of the wash.
Water spots happen when water is left to dry on the surface and as the water evaporates it leaves behind the minerals that were picked up in the water.
These minerals are what makes up those pesky water spots and certainly ruin the look of your paint work over time
This is where I believe proper education is invaluable. If you were to perform a rinse-less wash to the vehicle, the chance of water spots falls to none. Although it opens up another box of issues in itself and will leave that for another blog post
If you were to two bucket method to wash the vehicle, washing it in the morning or evening during hot months, then drying it completely, the chance of water spots is very minimal. While this can be an issue, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Issue #3: Premature failure
Ouch, this is a scary one. I’m going to hand over my hard earned money for this product that may fail, and there is a possibility it can fail on me? Yes, coatings can prematurely fail.
That being said, in the hundreds of coatings applied, I have never had to reapply a professional grade coating.
The only re applications I have done were on coatings that had got to the end of their life cycle (such as two year coatings) or coatings that are cheap and cheerful which in turn were never applied properly from the start by someone else
So how does one prevent this? Well there are a couple of ways. 1. Use a reputable detailer that you trust, do your research online and have a look for their reviews, videos, comments and even call them as its easy to get a feel of how much passion the applicator has for his work after a few short minutes over the phone. (Call me id love to have a chat George – 0421 943 227)
Also be sure that your chosen applicator uses products that are trusted, independently tested and proven over time, there have been a few shops starting to use their own in house coating making unrealistic claims and offering up to 4 or 5 layers of coating, some even want your car in their workshop for over 1 week (Warning signs and many bells ring here).
Most reasons people would hide the brand name they use and or offer a different name would be cost cutting and not wanting the consumer to know the brand they currently use because of cost cutting methods or they use a coating that simply does not offer a warranty and they would in turn offer you an inhouse warranty that you simply cannot claim on without going through a dispute process.
The list can go on and on but its obvious why this can be a dodgy practice.
A good detailer will not only stand behind his/her work, but will be completely transparent about the products and processes they use (Passionate applicators will not relabel a cheap/cheerful coating to try and rip off their customers with the unknown).
There will be no mystery or subterfuge involved, you will be completely informed about what you are purchasing, the brand offered, how it works, how the process works, and your responsibilities once the product is applied.
This way a customer can do research online and be advised on what product they are purchasing to have applied
2. Use a detailer that offers a manufacturers warranty or guarantee on the coatings they sell. Not only a workmanship guarantee but also a fully backed warranty by the manufacturer of the coating they choose to use.
While there are often requirements in order to keep or uphold a warranty, it does provide peace of mind to the consumer that if something goes wrong with the product or service provided, they will not be responsible for paying to fix it later on.
While warranties are not always 100% guaranteed protection against risk, they do offer you a “second layer” of defense when combined with a professional detailer that conducts him or herself with the highest level of integrity.
Hopefully this article will shine some light onto you about the issues that can come with ceramic coatings.
In my opinion as a professional, the long term benefits to your vehicle far outweigh the risks, especially considering a majority of the risk comes from the detailer hired to apply the coating, not the product brand itself.

Many are obsessed at the price of paint protection for their new car before asking critical questions like – Product being used? Preparation involved? Who is applying my coating? And most importantly what benefits can I expect
We believe the benefits out way the initial paint protection cost dramatically! A vehicle that is not protected from the elements depreciates much quicker then a vehicle that is protected and will look cleaner, shinier for.
Environmental fallout, bird/bat droppings, acid rain and everything else the world will throw at your paint work will cause havoc and soon enough your beautiful new cars paint work will become and look weathered.

What we charge might not be the same as what others might charge but please consider the options and compare apples with apples
Compare apples with apples when it comes to paint protection options
We choose to use German made ceramics manufactured by Autotriz, we perform the very best paint preparation and we also choose to not skip any corners, resulting in a high gloss super smooth finish and the product being applied properly.
Many applicators quote on the vehicles make and cars value, we choose to price our jobs on the amount of work required and the size of the vehicle which will give us a clear understanding of how much product will be used. Prices starts at $990 inc GST and approx time needed per vehicle is 6 – 7 hrs
On top of the necessary paint decontamination most new cars will only need a single stage paint correction and paint sterilisation before a ceramic coating can be applied to the exterior surfaces, although some new cars may require a dual stage paint correction.
Vehicles coming from overseas do have fall out that needs to be removed through a clay
In rare occurrences there is a need for a triple stage paint correction and this is mainly used for paint work that is full of deep scratches, paint fading, spider webbing and swirl marks.

What is Paint Protection?
Real paint protection is applying a high technology coating to the paint of your car that will last for years rather than months, to help protect against the harsh Australian elements like sun, rain, trees etc. Paint Protection has received a bad name mostly from car dealerships that charge huge fees when you buy a new car, quality paint protection should not cost $2,000+ that is ridiculous.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is George from Melbourne Mobile Detailing and Paint Protection and on a daily basis I get asked a lot of questions regarding ceramic coatings. So I thought it would be a great idea to share some of my opinions and thoughts for people to gain a better understanding of what to expect and not to expect from a coating. Hopefully you will gain enough knowledge to help during the selection of which product and installer is right for their needs
What is 9H scratch resistance?
We have all heard of these terms thrown around “Improved scratch resistance” Or “9H hardness” but what do they really mean?
Well basically there’s an abrasion test in which pencils of different hardness (1 being the softest and 9 being the hardest) are used to grade how susceptible a surface is to scratching. They use these pencils to scratch the surface to measure how resistant it is to damage.
To give you a better understanding most automotive clear coats have been rated at a hardness or scratch resistance level of 4-6, which in theory (depending on multiple variations) means that they will resist scratching up to the hardness of that particular pencil number.
In the other hand many ceramic coatings claim improved hardness levels of up to and sometimes exceeding 9, or 9H pencil strength. This does not mean the surface wont scratch nor will it be bullet proof all this means is that that a certain pencil strength will and in the perfect conditions will not scratch it.
In the real world if you put your coke can on your bonnet and it slides off – it will more then likely scratch your ceramic coating, which is where the protection factor comes into it as you would prefer to scratch your ceramic coating then scratch your clear coat which in some cases cannot be repaired other than a respray of the affected panel.
Bullet proof coating stone chip resistance?
A straight up wobbly! There is some resistance to stone chips but not a tested measurable one from a ceramic coating stating it will stop stone chips and I personally have not seen any manufacturer post any proof by way of independent testing. Some stones are razor sharp and if one hits your car at 100km/hr which sometimes causes enough damage to crack your windscreen or dent your bumper how will it not chip your paintwork?
Chemical resistant paint protection
Another common term is “Improved chemical resistance” now having a coating will certainly offer a much greater resistance to an almost nonexistent chemical resistance of clear coats. Take for example bird droppings and how quickly they can leave a nice little etch or even worse burn through your clear coat and remove a nice chunk of paint
This claim is true and most ceramic coatings will not allow chemicals to penetrate through and damage your clear coat. But once again, they are not bullet proof. If you’re going to allow bird droppings to sit on your car for weeks because you have a ceramic coating – you might be in for a little surprise
Are their really self healing coatings?
Yes there is some truth to this and as time goes on so does technology improve. Ceramic coatings have shown to self repair themselves on a very minor scale and normally under extreme heat. Don’t think that a scratch will just disappear instantly and in most cases the scratch can be too deep to repair itself
Thermoplastic polymers differ from thermosetting polymers in that they can be re melted and remolded. Many thermoplastic materials are addition polymers; e.g., vinyl chain-growth polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene
There are a few differing polymers used in detailing paint coatings although these have been designed originally to maintain their elasticity and move with the substrate they are applied to
a) Thermoplastic polymers may be reshaped by heating the surface, this type of polymer is used in ‘self-healing’ products although can only be heated and cured only a few times
b) Thermosetting polymer (thermoset) is a polymer that is irreversibly cured from a viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. The process of curing changes the resin into an infusible, insoluble polymer network, and is induced by the action of heat or by mixing with a catalyst.
Once hardened a thermoset resin cannot be reheated and melted to be shaped differently.
Many coatings boast warranties from 2-5 years.. Some even claim lifetime if you apply an obscene amount of layers or if you pay for annual inspections. First off, if an installer is using the words “lifetime warranty” make sure you get it in writing and thoroughly read through the fine print which will indicate the requirements of maintaining that warranty.
If you have nothing in writing, then you have nothing, sorry but it needs to be said. Many warranties will require periodic check ups, or applications of booster products, which will be at your expense. Missed a quarterly check up? WARRANTY VOIDED! And then there’s those pesky denial of claims due to improper maintenance. They can always turn around and claim you did not maintain it properly and the warranty is now voided. My best advice is to choose an installer that is open and happy to explain the application process and how these coatings work but is also willing to offer ongoing support and can also maintain the coating for you, that way they have to stand by their product and for the most part will not blame you for improper care.
I find it important to note that you should choose a product and installer who applies a coating that does not require the application of booster products, if you really think about it. How permanent can it be if you need to re-apply product periodically? Just some food for thought.
This is true, the ceramic coatings are like waxes and sealants on steroids. There is usually no need to wax or seal over unless you just want to. The ceramic coatings will do just about everything better than a wax or a sealant can, and for longer. There are some ceramic coatings that require a re-application of a booster product on a periodic basis, these are usually part of the requirements for maintaining the warranty.
How much should I pay for paint protection?
Ceramic coatings are fairly expensive compared to waxes and sealants mostly because they require surgical prep work in order to bond and cure properly. This process can be time consuming and very tedious.
You can generally judge the quality of the installer by the prices they charge for their service. The less expensive the service is, the higher the chance that there will be cut corners in prepping your vehicle for coating. Although this is not universal, there are many high quality installers who offer lower prices depending on the season and how busy they are at the time of booking.
Always do your research, not only on the installer but on the product they are using. Online reviews can help you better understand the quality of the installer. Product review, Facebook, and Google all have business review section
Is an applicator offering you a ridiculous amount of layers? Walk away!
Are they telling you they need to spend 3 days on your brand new car and an abundance amount of hours just so they can charge you extra? Walk away! …
Its easy to gauge, if you really listen to what you are being told
Everyone who owns a vehicle that they care about and want to maintain should have a professional installer apply a ceramic coating.
It may not be affordable to everyone, but we all could use this type of protection.
Having a ceramic coating applied should be a commitment on your end to break the bad habits of improper care and to educate yourself on how best to keep the coating in tip top shape.
Your installer should be able to give you all the advice you need on proper maintenance, and which products and techniques are best to use to clean it.
