What's included with us
PPF and ceramic do two different jobs.
Most people mix them up. Here's the simple difference — and why the best protection usually uses both.
Paint Protection Film (PPF)
A thick, clear, self-healing film bonded onto the panels that get hit — stopping stone chips, scratches and scuffs before they ever reach your paint.
- Stops rock chips, scratches & light scuffs
- Self-heals minor marks with heat
- Goes on high-impact spots, the full front, or the whole car
Ceramic Coating
A liquid glass-like layer that bonds to the whole car. It doesn't stop rock chips — it makes the surface slick, glossy and far easier to keep clean.
- Deep gloss & UV protection across the whole car
- Water & dirt slide off — easier washing
- Goes over paint and over PPF
What each package covers.
Pick a package to see exactly where the film, coating and tint are applied.
Pick by what you actually want.
Physical film on the front end is the only thing that stops chips and scratches reaching the paint.
A ceramic coating makes the whole car shine and lets dirt and water slide straight off.
Ceramic window tint cuts heat, glare and UV — and adds privacy. Easy to add to any package.
Three levels. Fixed prices by car size.
Small = hatch / small sedan · Medium = sedan / small SUV · Large = large SUV / 4WD / ute. Final price confirmed at a quick inspection. Prices include GST.

Questions, answered.
Do I need PPF or ceramic?
If you want to stop stone chips, you need PPF. If you want gloss and easy cleaning, you want ceramic. Most people get the best result with both — exactly how our packages are built.
Who actually does the work?
One of our trusted partner workshops — specialists we know and work with directly. We curate it, supply the materials, package it and stand behind it; they apply it.
Is the tint legal in Victoria?
Yes — all tint is installed to Victoria's legal light-transmission limits (35% on front side windows, 20% on the rear). We won't fit anything that isn't roadworthy.
What warranty do I get?
Manufacturer warranties on the films, tint and coatings, plus a workmanship guarantee on the installation. We help you manage any claim.
Why fixed price by size?
A hatch and a large SUV need different amounts of film and time. Banding by size keeps pricing honest and predictable.
What's the aftercare credit?
A store credit (up to $300) toward the products that keep your protection performing — pH-neutral washes, ceramic top-ups and PPF-safe care.
How does payment work?
A $500 deposit secures your booking; the balance is paid on collection, before the car is handed back. No full payment upfront.
Will I be without my car?
A loan car is included subject to availability — mention it in your enquiry and we'll confirm for your dates.
