Ceramic Coating Perth
More Gloss Less Grime Easier Ownership
Your vehicle should not need a complete detailing session every time you want it to look presentable.
A professionally applied ceramic coating creates a durable, hydrophobic layer over the paintwork. Water forms beads, dirt becomes easier to remove and the finish gains the depth and gloss that ordinary wax cannot maintain.
At Sharkey Auto Detailing, we provide ceramic coating in Perth using professional systems from GYEON and Fireball. From practical everyday protection to premium 10-year packages, we can match the coating and preparation to your vehicle, budget and ownership plans.
We understand that vintage car detailing is more than just cleaning—it’s the preservation of automotive history. Every classic car tells a story, and our meticulous approach to classic car detailing in Perth ensures that these stories continue for generations to come.
Our team at Sharkey Auto Detailing Perth specializes in classic car detailing services in Perth, handling the unique materials and finishes found in classic automobiles, from delicate original paint to period-correct chrome and vintage upholstery. Whether you own a pristine muscle car requiring show preparation or an aged beauty needing restoration detailing, we have the expertise to enhance its condition while maintaining its historical integrity.

YOUR PAINT DEALS WITH MORE THAN DIRT
Perth driving exposes paintwork to intense sunlight, road film, bird droppings, insects, traffic contamination and frequent washing. Left on the surface, these contaminants can make the vehicle harder to maintain and gradually affect its appearance. Ceramic coating adds a protective layer over the clear coat, helping reduce direct contact between the paint and everyday contamination.
A deeper, glossier
finish
Enhanced optical depth, mirror reflection, and surface saturation that does not fade after routine washing.
Hydrophobic water
behaviour
Exceptional liquid contact angle forcing surface water to bead immediately and roll away effortlessly.
Easier washing and
drying
Drastically reduced washing effort and drying friction, preventing wash marring and micro-scratches.
Reduced adhesion of
grime
Minimises traffic films, industrial fallout, and road tars from chemically bonding directly to clear coat.
Chemical &
environmental
resistance
Safeguards delicate OEM clear coats from acidic bird droppings, harsh insect enzymes, and alkalines.
UV deterioration
defense
Prevents pigment oxidation, chalking, and premature clear-coat failure under Western Australia's intense UV index.
Less dependence on short-lived waxes
Eliminates the recurring monthly cycle of temporary organic waxes and short-lived polymer sealants that degrade under heat.
Technical Clarification: Ceramic coating does not make paint scratch-proof or stone-chip-proof. Drivers requiring physical impact protection should consider paint protection film for vulnerable panels.

OUR CERAMIC COATING PRODUCT
LINEUP
Professional Products Selected for the Required Result
We do not place every vehicle into the same coating package. Paint condition, vehicle use, expected ownership period and desired finish all influence the product recommendation.
GYEON INFINITE RANGE
GYEON Q² INFINITE
Base Type 1
A professional base coating used as part of the GYEON INFINITE system. It provides the primary protective layer over properly prepared automotive paintwork.
GYEON Q² INFINITE
Base Type 2
An alternative INFINITE base-coat formulation that allows the coating system to be selected around the required finish and application approach.
GYEON Q² INFINITE
TopCoat Type 1
A dedicated topcoat used with the appropriate INFINITE base layer to modify and strengthen the final surface characteristics.
GYEON Q² INFINITE
TopCoat Type 2
An alternative finishing layer within the INFINITE range, giving the installer another option when specifying the coating system.
The final GYEON base and topcoat combination is selected after assessing the vehicle and confirming the intended package. We do not claim that one combination is automatically suitable for every paint type.
FIREBALL RANGE
Fireball Wizard
Used in our 5-year Fireball package, Wizard is the practical long-term option for daily-driven vehicles requiring improved gloss, hydrophobic behaviour and easier maintenance.
Fireball FX88
Used in our 8-year Fireball package, FX88 forms the centre of a more complete protection option that also includes enhanced paint preparation, wheel-face protection and windscreen protection.
Fireball Dok Do Plus
Used in our 10-year Fireball package, Dok Do+ is Fireball Australia's flagship dual-layer system. Fireball describes it as a hard base coat paired with a chemical-resistant, gloss-enhancing topcoat.
Protection terms remain subject to applicable product registration, maintenance and warranty conditions.
Inside Our Controlled Coating Workshop
The Conditions Behind the Finish
Ceramic coating performance depends on what happens before, during and immediately after application. Every coating is installed inside our purpose-built Perth workshop, where lighting, cleanliness and application conditions can be managed throughout the process. Two air-conditioning systems help maintain a more consistent environment while coatings are applied and levelled. Dedicated lighting allows us to inspect the paint, refine visible defects and check each panel before curing. Your vehicle remains indoors while the coating completes its initial curing stage.
Methodical Precision
What Happens Before Your Vehicle Is Coated?
Protocol 1
Paint Inspection
We inspect the surface for contamination, swirl marks, water spots, scratches and previous repair work.
Protocol 2
Decontamination
The vehicle receives a safe wash followed by chemical and mechanical decontamination to remove embedded material.
Protocol 3
Paint Enhancement or Correction
The paint is refined according to its actual condition. Additional correction is quoted where defects require more work than the selected package includes.
Protocol 4
Panel Preparation
Remaining polishing oils and residues are removed before the coating is applied.
Protocol 5
Coating Application
The selected GYEON or Fireball system is applied and levelled according to its product and installation requirements.
Protocol 6
Curing and Inspection
Where included, infrared curing supports the coating process. The finish is then inspected under workshop lighting before handover.

FAQ
Which is better, GYEON or Fireball?
Both are professional ceramic coating systems. The more suitable option depends on the desired package, finish, protection period, included surfaces and budget. We can compare the two ranges after inspecting your vehicle.
Will ceramic coating stop scratches and stone chips?
No. Ceramic coating is not scratch-proof and does not provide the same physical impact protection as PPF. It can help reduce wash-related wear when combined with safe maintenance, but paint protection film is the better option for stone-chip protection.
How long does ceramic coating last?
The available packages range from three to ten years. Actual performance depends on the selected product, correct application, vehicle use, washing methods, environmental exposure and required maintenance.
Does a new car need polishing before coating?
Sometimes. New vehicles can have transport marks, dealership wash marring, water spots or bonded contamination. We inspect the paint and perform the preparation needed before applying the coating.
Does ceramic coating prevent water spots?
No. Hydrophobic coatings cause water to bead, but mineral deposits can remain if that water dries on the surface. Correct washing and drying remain important.
How should I wash a ceramic-coated car?
Use a safe hand wash, clean wash media and a suitable pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid harsh chemicals and automatic car washes with stiff brushes. We provide specific aftercare instructions at handover.
Can ceramic coating be applied over PPF?
A compatible ceramic coating can be applied to suitable paint protection film. The product and application process must be selected for the film.
How long will Sharkey need my vehicle?
Workshop time depends on the package and the paint preparation required. Most packages require approximately one to two days, but vehicles needing additional correction may require longer.
