What Is Ceramic Coating?

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's factory paint, forming a durable semi-permanent layer of protection. Unlike wax or paint sealants that sit on the surface and wear off within weeks, a car ceramic coating becomes part of the paint itself — lasting years, not months.

Once cured, the coating creates a smooth, hydrophobic surface that repels water, road grime.. It also shields your paint from UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain and the chemical contaminants that cause long-term paint damage on Melbourne roads.

At Nightshine Detailing, we use IGL Coatings — an ISO9001-certified range formulated with high-purity PETRONAS graphene. It's the same professional standard used by the world's leading detailers, applied by our certified team right here in Melbourne.

What's Included in Our Ceramic Coating Packages

A ceramic coating is only as good as the preparation underneath it — here's exactly what every Nightshine application includes.

Step 01

Pre-Wash, Decon & Clay Bar Treatment

Before any work begins, the process starts with a thorough hand wash, iron remover, and chemical decontamination to strip all bonded contamination from your paint. This is followed by a clay bar treatment, which removes embedded particles that washing alone cannot lift, creating a smooth, clean surface for the coating to bond to correctly.

Step 02

Paint Inspection

We inspect your paint under specialist lighting for swirl marks, scratches, and oxidation. We'll recommend paint correction before coating is applied if needed.

Step 03

Paint Correction

For vehicles with swirl marks or dull paint, a machine polish restores clarity and gloss — so the coating bonds to perfect, defect-free paint.

Step 04

Panel Wipe & IPA Prep

Polishing oils and surface residue are removed with an isopropyl alcohol wipe-down — a critical step that ensures the coating bonds at a molecular level.

Step 05

Ceramic Coating Application

Your selected IGL coating is applied panel by panel using certified techniques, ensuring even coverage, correct levelling, and no high spots or residue.

Step 06

Curing & Aftercare Guidance

Once cured, we complete a final inspection and walk you through the care instructions needed to maximise your coating's performance and full lifespan.

Benefits of Ceramic Coating

A professional ceramic coating does more than add shine — it actively defends your vehicle from Melbourne's UV, harsh weather, and daily road contaminants.

Frequently Asked Questions.

How long does ceramic coating last?

Our coatings last between 2 to 5 years depending on the product chosen and how well the vehicle is maintained. We offer multiple durability levels to suit different needs.

Do brand-new cars benefit from ceramic coating?

Absolutely. New cars often arrive with transport marks, dealership swirls, or light defects. Coating your vehicle early protects the factory finish from day one.

What preparation is required before applying the coating?

Every vehicle receives a full decontamination and paint refinement to ensure maximum adhesion. This ensures the coating delivers peak gloss, slickness, and longevity.

Does ceramic coating eliminate scratches?

No — ceramic coating does not stop scratches but minimises minor swirls and marring. Paint correction is the process of removing scratches and is completed before the ceramic coating to ensure you’re locking in a flawless finish.

How do I maintain my ceramic-coated car?

Regular washing with safe, pH-neutral products is recommended. Avoid automatic car washes, and book maintenance details every 4–6 weeks to keep the coating performing at its best.
