Choosing who to trust with your vehicle shouldn’t feel stressful, so we put everything out in the open. Our process, the products we use and how we treat your vehicle are all documented on our YouTube channel.
Internationally trained & accredited
We travel to SEMA in the United States every year, and we’ve trained directly with the manufacturers whose coatings we use — at their facilities, with the people who formulate the products.
If you’ve looked at the reviews and the YouTube channel and you’re still wanting to see some examples of what we can achieve for your vehicle, have a look at some of our recent work below.
New Vehicle Paint Correction
Land Rover Defender 110
The service
New doesn’t mean flawless. Straight from the dealer, this one still had wash marring and light defects in the paint — picked up somewhere between the factory and the driveway, and invisible until it’s under proper lighting. A multi-stage correction took them out, then an eight-year ceramic coating went over the top, with the wheels and glass coated as well. The best time to do this is now, while the paint still has all its thickness.
Water spot etching across the paint and glass, left by sprinkler overspray drying in the sun. A cut and polish levelled the paint back past the etching, and the glass was polished separately — different material, different process. An eight-year ceramic coating went on afterwards, with the wheels and glass coated as well.
Seven and a half metres of gelcoat is a lot of surface to machine polish, and the panels that need it most are the ones you can’t reach from the ground. A full exterior detail and decontamination came first, then a cut and polish across the body to bring the gloss back, and a five-year ceramic coating over the top to hold it. Two of us, working panel by panel — there’s no fast way to do a vehicle this size properly.
A multi-stage correction under dedicated inspection lighting — a test section first to establish how the paint responded, then panel by panel until the grey had real depth back in it. Finished with a five-year ceramic coating, with the wheels and glass coated as well.
This one came in with significantly scratched and damaged black paint, with heavy swirl marks and marring built up across the doors and bonnet. A cut and polish worked through the damage to bring the depth and gloss back, then a ceramic coating went on to protect the finish.
Years of UV exposure had left the gelcoat dull and faded, with oxidation and chalking built up across the body panels. A cut and polish cut back the damaged surface layer and restored the gloss, then a ceramic coating went on to hold it there. The glass was polished and coated separately, so the windows carry the same clarity as the bodywork.
We flew to Omaha for this one. Every year we travel to the United States to train with the manufacturers whose coatings we use, and this trip included several consecutive days working through a run of cars in the workshop there — this 911 among them. Same process we run in Tauranga: paintwork decontaminated and machine polished to bring the black back, then a ceramic coating locked in over the top.
Dark paint shows every swirl and wash mark the moment the sun catches it, and this one had plenty built up. A multi-stage correction worked through the defects panel by panel, then a five-year ceramic coating went on to protect the finish, with the wheels and glass coated at the same time.
Booked in for a full interior and exterior detail ahead of sale. Wheels cleaned and the exterior hand washed using a two-bucket technique, then dried and the glass cleaned. Inside, the carpets and seats were vacuumed and the dash, door cards and console wiped down and degreased, leaving the cabin presentable for the listing photos.
The mottling across the roof and upper panels wasn’t dirt — it was mineral etching left behind by water drying on the paint, and no wash was going to shift it. A cut and polish levelled it out and refined the finish past where it started, then a three-year ceramic coating went on to hold it there.
This Tiguan came to us after being stolen and later recovered, with black fingerprint powder dusted across the dash, door trims and infotainment screen where police had processed it for prints. It’s not the usual reason a car ends up needing an interior detail, but the process is the same regardless of how the mess got there: every powder-covered surface vacuumed and wiped back, the screen and trims degreased without a mark left on them, and the cabin brought back to a finish the owner could actually get back into.
A full decontamination wash to lift tar, iron and lichen, then a synthetic clay bar to leave the gelcoat perfectly smooth. Graphics and trims were machine polished and restored before a five-year ceramic coating went over the lot — guarding against the UV fading, oxidation and chalking that come from sitting outside between trips, and making every wash from here on far easier.
Booked in for a full interior and exterior detail ahead of sale. The red and black leather cabin was vacuumed and wiped down throughout, with the dash and door cards degreased, while the exterior was hand washed, decontaminated and dried ready for the listing photos.
Fifty years old, with the original metallic paint still intact. A cut and polish brought the depth and clarity back into the finish, then a ceramic coating went over the top to protect it. We coated the engine bay as well, at the owner’s request, since this one gets shown with the bonnet up as often as the doors.
Delivered new with factory paint defects already visible under inspection lighting — swirl marks and light marring baked in before it had covered a single kilometre. A single-step machine polish corrected the paint, then an eight-year ceramic coating went on, with the wheels and glass coated as well.
This Dodge Ram 1500 was booked in for an eight-year ceramic coating, with the wheels and glass coated as well. Heavy water spot etching across the paintwork needed addressing first — a cut and polish removed the marks and refined the finish, delivering a fantastic correction, before the ceramic coating went on to lock in the result and protect the paint going forward.
Iron fallout remover on the wheels bled deep purple as it broke down months of embedded brake dust — the reaction that tells you the contamination is lifting out rather than being dragged across the surface. The paintwork was checked for swirl marks under inspection lighting and machine polished back to a clean, marring-free finish, then an eight-year ceramic coating went over the body, wheels and glass.
Heavy swirling and scratching had dulled the black paint wherever the light caught it, worst around the badges and door edges where years of wiping had ground it in. A cut and polish worked back through the marring to bring the gloss and depth back, then a three-year ceramic coating went on to protect the finish.
Booked in for a paint correction and ceramic coating, with an interior detail added on for a complete refresh. The paintwork was corrected and coated to bring back the depth in the blue, while inside the red leather and cabin trims were cleaned and conditioned throughout, leaving the whole vehicle showroom fresh top to bottom.
Booked in for our paint correction package. The paintwork was machine polished back to a deep, marring-free gloss, then a ceramic coating went over the body, with the wheels and glass coated as well.
Booked in for a cut, polish and three-year ceramic coating. Significant water spots and mineral buildup had etched into the roof and upper panels, invisible until the light caught it just right. A cut and polish worked back through the marring to bring the gloss and depth back, then a three-year ceramic coating went on to protect the finish.
This Clubman caravan was booked in for an exterior detail and ceramic coating. The roof had mould and lichen buildup that was removed through the detail process, then an eight-year ceramic coating went over the body, with the wheels and glass coated as well.
This one had been parked outdoors for a long stretch, and it showed — significant mould and lichen buildup had taken hold across the roof and upper panels, the kind of neglect that only shows its full extent once the wash starts lifting it away. A full exterior detail worked through the buildup and brought the gelcoat back to a clean, even finish, then a five-year ceramic coating went over the body to protect it going forward, with the glass coated separately as well. A complete turnaround from a motorhome left to the elements to one that’s properly protected.
This Avida motorhome came in for a full exterior detail and a five-year ceramic coating. The bodywork was washed and decontaminated before the coating went on, locking in the gloss and giving the gelcoat lasting protection against UV, oxidation and the daily grime that comes with life on the road.
Booked in for a three-year ceramic coating on the exterior and an interior ceramic coating throughout the cabin. The paintwork was polished and coated to lock in the gloss, while the interior surfaces were treated to protect against everyday wear, spills and UV fading, leaving the whole vehicle protected inside and out.
This twin-axle Idle-Time caravan, an American-built rig measuring eight metres in length, was booked in for an eight-year ceramic coating. The bodywork was corrected and coated to lock in the gloss over such a large surface area, with the wheels and glass coated as well for complete protection front to back.
This TrailLite 300 motorhome was booked in for a full exterior detail ahead of sale, including a deep clean of the roof to remove built-up grime that a standard wash won't reach. The bodywork was hand washed and decontaminated and the glass cleaned, leaving the motorhome looking its best for the listing photos.
This Ford Falcon was booked in for a cut, polish and eight-year ceramic coating. The roof in particular showed heavy swirl marks under overcast light before we started — the kind of defect that only shows up in the right conditions. A cut and polish worked through the marring across the whole vehicle to bring the depth and gloss back, then an eight-year ceramic coating went on to protect the finish.
Brand new, and already carrying imperfections straight from the factory — scratches picked up somewhere between the production line and the driveway. This Hilux was booked in for a cut, polish and ceramic coating to put that right. A machine polish corrected the paint and removed the scratches, then an eight-year ceramic coating went on, our most durable option, with the glass coated as well.
This Adria Coral XL 660 SCS was booked in for a full exterior detail and a five-year ceramic coating, with the glass coated as well. The bodywork was washed and decontaminated before the coating went on, locking in the gloss and giving lasting protection against UV, oxidation and the daily grime that comes with life on the road.
This Iveco Avida Esperance was booked in for a full exterior detail and an eight-year ceramic coating. The bodywork was washed and decontaminated before the coating went on, locking in the gloss and giving lasting protection against UV, oxidation and the daily grime that comes with life on the road.
This Mitsubishi Lancer GSR Evolution was booked in for an exterior detail because significant overspray from powder coating work had landed across the paint and needed to be removed. We carried out a thorough decontamination to lift the overspray, then a cut and polish to refine the paintwork, before protecting the finish with an eight-year ceramic coating.
