Why Ceramic Coatings?
Ceramic Coatings have many benefits, and other than a little extra care when washing, there are no down sides to getting one. To Protect your new car with a Ceramic Coating is one if the wisest decisions you can make after choosing your vehicle. How do they help you maintain an excellent finish to your vehicles paint work for years to come?
- Protection Against Environmental Damage
Ceramic coatings lock in your paint work under an additional layer of protection. This stops the oxidizing effects that our harsh enviroment has on the paint. If you have driven around Nelson long enough you will have seen peeling clear coat, and faded paint work. Ceramic coatings reduce this from happening to near zero.
- Reduced Cleaning Effort and Frequency
When you’re no longer battling caked in dirt, cleaning your vehicle can be a joy rather than a chore. If it’s a chore Glossworks can help you there as well with regular maintenance cleaning. The slicker the coating on your vehicle, the more water rolls straight off. This reduces how much dirt clings to you vehicle, creating a sort of self cleaning effect. This reduces the time between cleanings, and the time needed to clean.
- Maintaining a Showroom Like Shine for Years
Because these coatings can be self cleaning, reduce friction when cleaning, and seal the paintwork, this all adds up to paintwork that can remain showroom shiny for many many years. UV damage oxidizing paint, and scratches from washing are the two biggest causes of loss of shine. Just look at a can that’s only a year old that hasn’t been protected!

What is the Process, and What Can I Expect on the Day?
- We meet with you prior. We can do this in person, or video conference. We want to know what your expectations are as far as scratch or scuff removal, coating life, if maintenance is going to be an issue and if we are the right people to help you achieve your goals. Bear in mind, even brand new vehicles have scuffs and scratches, so some scuff removal may be needed, but we will meet or exceed your expectations.
- We arrive at your chosen appointment time. All prepped and ready to go. We start with a full wash of the vehicle to remove dirt and grease. The small things that may prevent the coating bonding to the paint. After washing we do further decontamination removing road tar, brake dust and other contamination that does not get removed with washing. You now have a ‘virgin’ surface for us to work on. Because we feel this is a basic service to all ceramic coatings, there is no extra charge for this.
- Polishing (If needed). If you see the little scratches and want them gone, then is where we work to remove those. Using the latest compounds, polishers, buffing pads, and tools we slowly and gently shave down the paint until the scuffs are reduced, or removed. It’s important to note that polishing does remove very minor amounts if your vehicles clear coat.
- Ceramic Coating Application. Using the top of the line coating of your choice, your car gets its coating. After all the prep work taking most of a day at times, the coating may only take an hour or two. This is carefully done with continuous inspection to ensure perfection.
- Drive away. With Gtechniq coatings you will be good to drive away the next day. With c6 you can drive away almost as soon as I’ve packed up and left.
- Follow up clean. To show you our commitment to you and your vehicle, we offer a free follow up clean. This gives us another chance to check our work, ensure you’re happy, and show you the best ways to maintain your coating throughout its working life and beyond.

What’s the difference between 9H and 10H hardness in ceramic coatings?
Answer: The H-scale measures the hardness of the coating. 10H is harder than 9H, offering increased scratch resistance and durability. However, both provide excellent protection for your vehicle. Check this Blog post for more information about this.
Which is better?
Answer: Both offer excellent protection. Ceramic coatings are well-established with proven long-term performance. Graphene coatings are newer and show promising results in some areas that would make them excellent choices. But many of these benefits are not needed in NZ, and have not yet proven reliable or long lasting for us to start offering them. We offer ceramic coatings due to their proven track record and superior overall protection. Check out this Blog post to find more indepth information about Graphene Coatings.
How long does the ceramic coating application process take?
Answer: The process typically takes at least a day, depending on your vehicle’s condition and the coating chosen. We’ll provide a more accurate timeline after our initial inspection for your specific vehicle.
Will ceramic coating eliminate the need for washing my car?
Answer: While ceramic coating can significantly reduce the frequency of washing needed, it doesn’t eliminate it at all. Your car will stay cleaner for longer and be much easier to clean when needed, but to maintain the coatings life, and its self cleaning ability, regular maintenance cleaning is still needed. Not needing to clean you vehicle after coating is just one of many myths about coatings. Want to know some of the others? Check out this Blog post covering some of the myths around ceramic coatings
Can ceramic coating be applied to a used car?
Answer: Absolutely! We can apply ceramic coating to both new and used vehicles. For used cars, we may need to do more preparatory work to ensure the best results, and this will naturally increase the cost, but even if your vehicle is scuffed and scratched and you don’t want/need it polished, a coating is still ideal and the paint does not need to be perfect. Check out this Blog post that looks at some of the reasons that Ceramic coating any vehicle is important.
Is ceramic coating worth the investment?
Answer: Yes, especially for those who value their vehicle’s appearance and want long-term protection. It saves time and money on maintenance in the long run and helps maintain your car’s resale value often paying for itself when you sell it.
