It doesn't wash off like wax. It lasts years, not weeks. ![](/images/content/graphics/shield-protection-square.webp)### Water Beads Off The hydrophobic surface repels water, mud, and grime. Your car stays cleaner for longer and washes up in half the time. ![](/images/content/graphics/ceramic-coating-bottle-square.webp)### UV Protection Sydney sun is brutal on paint. Ceramic coating blocks UV rays so your colour stays deep and rich instead of fading. ![](/images/content/graphics/polishing-machine-square.webp)### Scratch Resistant The hardened layer resists light scratches, swirl marks from car washes, and minor abrasion from everyday driving. ![](/images/content/graphics/car-keys-square.webp)### 5+ Years Protection Not a monthly top-up. One application, years of protection. Proper ceramic coating outlasts any wax or sealant on the market. ![Mercedes C-Class black polished from above showing ceramic coating depth](/images/content/mercedes-c-klasse-draufsicht-sauber-hoch.webp) Why GTechniq Not All Coatings Are Created Equal. -------------------------------------- We use GTechniq because it works. Their coatings are developed by chemists, tested in labs, and trusted by detailers worldwide. It bonds to paint at a molecular level and creates a layer that's harder than your factory clear coat. - Crystal Serum bonds permanently to paint. It can't be washed off or broken down by chemicals. - EXO top coat adds an extra hydrophobic layer for that insane water beading effect. - Rated 9H hardness. That's as hard as ceramic coatings get.

GTechniq vs Cquartz vs Gyeon. ------------------------------------------------------ The three pro-grade ceramic coating brands you'll see in Sydney. All deliver hydrophobic, UV-resistant, 5+ year protection. But they differ in install requirements, warranty, and chemistry. Here's the honest breakdown.

All three brands deliver the same core promise. The biggest variable in ceramic-coating longevity is **how it's applied**: paint prep, panel-by-panel correction, controlled environment, and proper curing. A perfect GTechniq job will outlast a rushed Gyeon job every time. That's why we chose GTechniq. Their accredited-installer requirement means application standards are non-negotiable, and the 5-year manufacturer warranty backs it up. ### Get your GTechniq quote.

Our GTechniq Crystal Serum packages: **Sedan from $850**, **SUV from $950**, **Ute from $1,200**, **Van from $1,400**. All prices include full paint correction, 5+ years of protection, and free pickup & drop-off across Sydney. FAQ Common Questions. ------------------- How much does ceramic coating cost in Sydney? In Sydney, professional ceramic coating ranges from **$850 to $1,400+**, depending on vehicle size. Our GTechniq packages: **Sedan from $850**, **SUV from $950**, **Ute from $1,200**, **Van from $1,400**. Paint correction is included in every package, plus free Sydney pickup and drop-off. Is ceramic coating worth it in Sydney? In Sydney specifically. Yes, more than in most cities. Three reasons: **(1) UV intensity.** Australian sun fades paint faster than almost anywhere. Ceramic blocks UV. **(2) Coastal salt.** Bondi to Cronulla, salt air corrodes clear coat. Hydrophobic ceramic seals it out. **(3) Bird droppings & tree sap.** Acidic stuff that etches paint within hours; ceramic gives you a buffer to wash it off without damage. Over 5+ years, ceramic costs less per month than monthly wax jobs and protects far better. How long does ceramic coating last? Our GTechniq ceramic coatings provide **5+ years of protection** with proper maintenance. They create a hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and UV damage. To maximise lifespan: hand-wash only (no automatic brushes), use pH-neutral shampoo, and rinse off bird droppings or sap within 24 hours. What's the best ceramic coating? GTechniq vs Cquartz vs Gyeon All three are professional-grade products with similar core performance. Hydrophobic finish, UV resistance, 5+ years. The differences are subtle: **GTechniq Crystal Serum Light** (what we use) requires an accredited installer and comes with a 5-year warranty when registered. **Cquartz Finest Reserve** is a strong alternative used by many US shops. **Gyeon Mohs+/Syncro** is popular in Europe. What matters more than brand is *application quality*. Paint prep, panel-by-panel correction, controlled curing. A perfect GTechniq job beats a rushed Gyeon job every time. What's the difference between ceramic coating and wax? Ceramic coating is a **semi-permanent chemical bond** with your paint that lasts 5+ years. Wax is a **temporary layer** that washes off in weeks. Ceramic provides better UV protection, scratch resistance, and hydrophobic properties. It's a different league. Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating? In most cases, yes. We recommend [paint correction](/services/paint-correction) to remove swirl marks and scratches before applying ceramic coating, so the coating locks in a flawless finish. **Paint correction is included in every one of our ceramic coating packages**. No extra charge. Can ceramic coating be applied to any car? Yes. We coat everything from daily drivers to luxury cars, SUVs, utes, and vans. **New cars** benefit from day-one protection (best value. No paint defects to correct). **Older cars** get a fresh start after paint correction removes years of wear. How long does ceramic coating take to apply? We typically have your car for **1–2 days**. Day 1: full decontamination wash, clay bar, paint correction (machine polishing). Day 2: panel-by-panel ceramic application and controlled curing. With our free pickup and drop-off, you don't have to think about it. Drop the keys, get back a coated car. How do I maintain ceramic coating? Can I still wash my car normally? Maintenance is simple: **hand-wash with pH-neutral shampoo every 2–3 weeks**. Avoid automatic car washes with rotating brushes. They can micro-scratch even a coated surface. Rinse off bird droppings, tree sap, or fuel within 24 hours. We offer an annual maintenance check and top-up service to maximise the 5+ year lifespan. ![White CLA 45 AMG in evening light showing ceramic coating depth](/images/content/cla45-weiss-front-abendlicht-hoch.webp) ![CLA 45 AMG black rear and roof glossy after ceramic coating](/images/content/cla45-schwarz-heck-dach-glanz-hoch.webp) ![Audi RS3 front showing mirror finish after ceramic coating](/images/content/audi-rs3-front-gerade-hoch.webp) Get Started Ready to Protect Your Paint? ------------------------------ Get a free quote or give us a call.
