Frequently asked questions
What is ceramic coating, and why do I need it for my car in Australia?
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your car's exterior, forming a protective layer against environmental contaminants. In Australia's harsh climate, with intense UV exposure and unpredictable weather, ceramic coating ensures your vehicle stays protected and maintains its shine for longer.
How does ceramic coating differ from traditional waxing or sealants?
Unlike wax or sealants, which provide temporary protection, ceramic coating chemically bonds with your car's paint, forming a durable and long-lasting shield. It offers superior resistance to UV rays, chemical stains, and oxidation, ensuring your car remains pristine in the Australian sun.
Can ceramic coating prevent swirl marks and scratches?
While ceramic coating doesn't make your car completely scratch-proof, it does provide an additional layer of defense against light scratches and swirl marks caused by improper washing techniques or minor abrasions. It helps maintain the integrity of your paint job, keeping your car looking fresh and new.
How long does ceramic coating last on my car?
The longevity of ceramic coating depends on various factors, including the quality of the coating, maintenance routine, and environmental conditions. Shoto Studios' Pro Series Ceramic Coating, for instance, offers a 5-year warranty for the Premium range and a lifetime warranty for the Elite range, ensuring lasting protection for your vehicle.

Can ceramic coating be applied to other surfaces besides the paint?

Can ceramic coating be removed if necessary?
While ceramic coating is designed to be durable and long-lasting, it can be removed using specialized products and techniques if needed. Professional detailers can safely strip off the coating without damaging your car's paint, allowing for reapplication or other treatments as desired.
Can ceramic coating protect against bird droppings and tree sap?
Yes, ceramic coating creates a hydrophobic surface that repels water and contaminants, including bird droppings, tree sap, and insect residues. It forms a sacrificial barrier between your car's paint and environmental pollutants, making it easier to clean and reducing the risk of permanent damage.
Is ceramic coating suitable for older or pre-owned vehicles?
Absolutely! Ceramic coating offers valuable protection and rejuvenation for older or pre-owned vehicles, revitalizing their appearance and enhancing their resale value. It helps conceal minor imperfections and provides a fresh, showroom-quality shine that lasts for years to come.
