Do I Need A Ceramic Coating?
Even before Glossworks existed, it was my firm belief that all vehicles can benefit from a Ceramic Coating.
Yes, we feel all vehicles in Nelson/Blenheim can benefit from a Ceramic Coating.
Ceramic Coatings serve various functions that benefit the vehicle, and in the long term also benefit you.
A Ceramic Coating will help you to maintain your vehicles appearance by reducing staining, marring, bird droppings etching the paint, and importantly in our region – protect against the harsh UV damage that occurs from all the sunshine we enjoy.
You can read more information about ceramic coatings in our blog.

Ceramic Coatings Are Your Solution
Ceramic Coatings vary quite a bit in design and properties and there is almost always a trade off in properties. How so?
Easier to apply Coatings tend to contain a lot more ‘silicone’ based products. These are valued for their super water repellency and slickness.
Harder to apply Coatings tend to contain more ‘Silica’ based products. These are valued for their durability, scratch ressitance and glossy/wet looks.
All Ceramic based Coatings have the ability to resist chemical based damage such as solvents, acids, cleaning products, bird droppings which mean easier cleaning of the vehicle as the surface activiely resists sticking.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra gives you the best balance of all these properties with its 10h hardness, and super slick surface all backed by a 9-year warranty, for those who truly want the best coating protection for their vehicles without spending too much.
Not to be missed is Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light, offering around 80% of the protection, and still with a 5 Year warranty. This option has proved popular to customers.
For those want even better protection, we also offer C6 coatings which infuse diamonds into the coating allowing for 20+ years of protection.

Ceramic Coatings Nelson & Glossworks
Ceramic Coatings vary with how hard they are to install and also how long they last.
A “Professional only” coating can be far more durable than those that are designed to be installed by those with little to no training.
More often than not, “Lifetime” coatings are a marketing gimmik, backed by cost and time limits.
These coatings are usually designed, not to have the best protection, but to increase the profit to the dealer who sold it to you. Perhaps you notice that dealers are willing to negotiate on pricing with ceramic coating if you’re willing to buy from them?
Glossworks offers some of the best coatings on the market, they do what they say on the label, and are backed by Glossworks expertice and knowledge. This enables us to do our industry leading coatings for the best price.
Glossworks wants the very best for you and your vehicle and is intent on building long lasting relationships with our customers.
Look at an example of a “lifetime” coating on a vehicle that is now less than 6 months old, vs how Glossworks Premium Ceramic Coatings work——>>>>

Are Ceramic Coatings Worth it?
Ceramic Coatings are worth the investment, particularly if you want your vehicle to maintain its appearance for as long as possible for a fair price.
A ceramic coating can cost less than 50c per day, and if maintained will last much longer, and will therefore work out to be cheaper than this low price.
Price isn’t always the issue however, so we offer a range of options to find the best for you.
Can Ceramic Coatings Be Removed?
Yes, for some coatings that we use this is as ‘simple’ as polishing it off. For the harder ceramic coatings like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, this will require sanding off.
However, we feel confident that once you have a properly ceramic coated vehicle, you will always want a ceramic coated vehicle.

At Glossworks, we specialize in doing your vehicles coating in as little as a day.
We arrive in the morning, and before dinner, your vehicle is ready to go.
There are some limitations to this, but we are happy to help out as much as we can in this process.
Do Ceramic Coatings Remove Scratches?
Typically, no, ceramic coatings will not remove or fill in scratches. Some ceramic coatings are capable of filling some minor scratches, but a vehicle will almost always benefit from a polish to remove scratches prior to coating application.
Can Ceramic Coatings Be Applied To Other Surfaces?
Yes! There are ceramic coatings made for a variety of surfaces, from glass to wheels, from tires to leather.
These are different to the ceramic coating applied to your vehicles paint work however, and generally due to this cannot last as long on these varied surfaces.
What Ceramic Coatings is the best?
The best one is the one that suits you, your vehicle, and at the price you can afford.
From less than $500 with a DIY approach to several thousand dollars for ‘high end’ ceramic coatings there is no number 1 coating.
For a dealer this is what makes them the most profit, with as many as 9 out 10 customers will never complain about something thats not right.
For the DIYer this may be a product thats easy to use and wont cause other problems.
For Glossworks, we think the best one is what is going to make you a happy, lifelong customer of ours.
From DIY to Perfection, we are here to help you on your ceramic coating choice.
How Long Do Ceramic Coatings Last?
Ceramic spray coatings will last anywhere from 1-6 months generally and are sold as an easy home user type product, similar to a ‘spray wax’.
Interior ceramics will last a similar time but can last longer depending on the surface and product. Some products sold as “ceramic” coatings may actually use other technology that is not Silica or Silicone base.
Exterior ceramics generally last the longest, with glass coating lasting 18+ months for a true ceramic coating. Other products such as those containing PTFE (sold as products like Teflon) can achieve reasonable lengths of time up to 12 months.
‘True’ ceramic coatings can last from 12 months to many years, a decade or longer. Some are sold as “lifetime” coatings. As a side note:
Consider though that a lifetime coating (wholesale product cost only) is more than what dealers sell a lifetime coating installed for.
