Autoclean - Bay of Plenty

Ceramic Coating

Professional paint protection that lasts years. We enhance the paint first, then apply a ceramic coating that bonds to the clear coat and protects against everything the Bay of Plenty throws at it.

What It Is

Paint That Stays
Protected for Years

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your car's clear coat. Once cured it creates a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water, contaminants and UV - and doesn't wash off like a wax or sealant.

Before any coating goes on, we do a full decontamination - iron fallout, tar and clay - leaving the surface smooth and completely free of contaminants before any machine work begins. The machine polish then removes light swirl marks and surface defects. Better paint going in, better protection coming out.

Tauranga's coastal environment makes ceramic coating a smart investment. Salt air, UV and humidity work against unprotected paint every single week.

The Process

How It Works

01
Wash and Decontamination

Full hand wash, iron fallout and tar removal, clay bar decontamination. We need a tap and power point for all jobs. Surface has to be completely clean before machine work starts.

02
Machine Enhancement

One-stage machine polish removes light swirl marks and surface defects. The paint looks better before the coating even goes on.

03
Surface Prep

Panel wipe-down removes any remaining residue. The surface needs to be completely clean and oil-free for the coating to bond properly.

04
Ceramic Coating Application

Coating applied panel by panel under a garage or carport. Working under cover is essential for a proper bond - this is why covered access is required for all ceramic jobs.

05
Cure, Inspect and Finish

Full inspection under light across every panel. Tyres, trim and glass finished. Your car is ready when you are - protected for years.

After the Coating

Keeping It Performing Properly

Your coating lasts longer when maintained properly

A ceramic coating dramatically reduces how much work your paint needs - but regular maintenance is what keeps it hydrophobic, clean and looking the way it did on day one.

Some clients like a monthly visit - quick wash, spray sealant top-up and interior refresh. Others prefer quarterly or every six months. We work around whatever suits you.

  • Avoid brush-type automatic car washes
  • Use pH-neutral wash products only
  • Monthly option - maintenance wash, sealant top-up and interior refresh
  • Quarterly and 6-monthly decontamination and coating top-up
  • Annual full maintenance detail for a thorough reset
  • We reach out when you're due - existing clients get priority booking
