The lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on four things how 1. How it is applied 2. the quality of the ceramic used 3. the age and condition of vehicle, 4. Maintenance of vehicle.

We use a High-end ceramic that can provide protection for up to 7 years when triple coated. This combined with our dedication to prep of the vehicle guarantees longevity, on the other hand prosumer-grade coatings might only last for a few months let alone yrs – especially if the vehicle in question isn’t prepped properly and maintained.

Preparation of the vehicle is (decontamination wash, polishing the substrate, applying the coating evenly, and letting it cure within the right temperatures). You can extend your ceramic coating’s lifespan by applying a topper that helps prevent degradation.

Paint protection film (PPF) is more expensive than ceramic paint protection, which is why it’s normally reserved for high-end vehicles. A high-quality ceramic coating delivers most of the same benefits as PPF – the main difference is PPF’s capacity for absorbing larger stone chips and scratches.

Many owners of luxury and classic vehicles find that combining frontal PPF (that is, applying film to high-impact areas like the bumper and bonnet) with a ceramic coating on the rest of their car is the most cost-effective approach. PPF can also be difficult to apply well, so finding a reliable installer is also often a challenge.

Our workshop is located at 23 Chetwynd Street, Loganholme QLD 4129. Most of our customers come to us from Logan, South Brisbane, or the Gold Coast, but we welcome classic and luxury cars from anywhere.

Yes, ceramic paint protection is generally ‘worth it’ from a financial perspective. If you want to prevent oxidation and other environmental damage to your car’s paintwork, you have 3 options:

• Wax
• A ceramic coating
• Paint protection film (PPF)

A ceramic coating balances cost-efficiency with ease of maintenance and a high degree of protection. While it can’t absorb impacts from stone chips to the same extent as PPF, it’s substantially cheaper and still protects your car from UV radiation, minor scratches and road strikes, chemicals, and tree sap. It also makes your vehicle easier to clean and doesn’t need to be applied as frequently as wax.

Here at B&S detailing our biggest passion lies where it all started with the classics and the old school, we know how much time, effort and care go into acquiring and maintaining a classic car, and damaging one is the last thing we’d ever want.

Here’s how we keep all our customers’ vehicles as safe as possible.

1. We focus on quality over quantity, A culture of ‘more, faster’ is not our goal we appreciate each vehicle and handle it with respect and knowledge. We have team members that specialise in restoration detailing and understand the care it takes for older interiors/exteriors. delivering precise, thorough and careful detailing is our absolute priority.
2. We only use high-quality grade products that we’ve screened for adverse chemical interactions on older materials used to build classic and muscle cars. Our team members that specialise in restoration detailing have an extensive knowledge of how to clean without damage.
3. We have a fully secured facility to store the vehicles under appropriate conditions (cctv cameras, undercover storage from the weather even during the day if required, fully locked up indoors at night)
4. Only highly experienced drivers from the restoration detailing staff will drive the vehicle and this is always restricted to the property of B&S Detailing (carpark, wash bay, detailing bay etc.)
