WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
PROTECT YOUR PAINT FROM?

The right option depends on the type of protection you need.

Surface Chemistry

Choose Ceramic Coating

Ceramic coating is designed for vehicle owners who want:

  • Greater gloss and colour depth
  • Easier washing and maintenance
  • Strong water-repellent behaviour
  • Resistance to road grime and environmental contamination
  • Protection from UV exposure and oxidation
  • A finish that stays cleaner between washes

A ceramic coating forms a transparent protective layer over the paint. It helps reduce how strongly dirt and contamination bond to the surface, making the vehicle easier to clean and maintain.

Important Distinction:

Ceramic coating does not provide meaningful protection from stone chips. If physical impact protection is your priority, consider paint protection film.

Physical Barrier

Choose Paint Protection Film

Paint protection film is intended for vehicle owners concerned about:

  • Stone chips
  • Road debris
  • Highway driving
  • Light surface scratches
  • Damage to high-impact painted panels
  • Preserving a new, prestige or performance vehicle

PPF is a transparent polyurethane film installed directly over the painted surface. It creates a physical barrier between the paint and everyday driving hazards that ceramic coating cannot stop.

Coverage Note:

The amount of protection depends on the selected coverage. You can protect targeted front-end areas, the complete front of the vehicle or all applicable painted panels.

Coating

Sharkey Auto Detailing installs professional ceramic coatings from GYEON and Fireball at our controlled worksites.

Both ranges are designed to enhance the appearance of automotive paint, improve water behaviour and make regular maintenance easier. The most appropriate coating depends on the condition of the paint, the finish you want and how the vehicle will be used and maintained. Before applying either coating, we inspect, wash and decontaminate the vehicle. Paint cleaning, enhancement or correction is completed where required so the coating is installed over a properly prepared surface.

Flagship Molecular Range

GYEON Q² INFINITE Ceramic Coating

GYEON Q² INFINITE is a professional ceramic coating range that allows Sharkey to select the surface characteristics most appropriate for the vehicle. Sharkey uses Q² INFINITE Base Type 1, Base Type 2, TopCoat Type 1 and TopCoat Type 2. Across the range, these products provide different levels of chemical resistance, gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, surface slickness and contaminant release. A GYEON coating can help produce a cleaner, more refined painted finish while reducing how strongly road grime and environmental contamination remain attached to the surface. Its hydrophobic characteristics make water easier to remove and can simplify regular washing.

Sharkey uses Fireball Wizard, FX8B and Dok Do. Across the range, these products offer characteristics including surface slickness, strong water repellency, colour enhancement, deep gloss, coating flexibility and chemical resistance. A Fireball coating creates a smooth, hydrophobic surface that helps water move away from the paint and makes grime easier to remove during regular washing. Different Fireball products allow Sharkey to recommend a coating according to the required finish and level of surface performance.

Engineered Attributes
Strong water repellency
Slick surface characteristics
Enhanced paint colour
Deep gloss and shine

Avery Dennison Paint Protection Film

Physical Protection for Vulnerable Painted Panels

For drivers concerned about stone chips, road debris and light surface scratches, Sharkey installs Avery Dennison paint protection film.
Avery Dennison PPF is a transparent polyurethane film designed to protect painted surfaces while retaining the vehicle’s original appearance. Its self-healing top layer can recover from certain light surface marks when exposed to heat.
PPF is not indestructible. Severe impacts, deep scratches and damage that penetrates the film may still affect the surface underneath.
The correct coverage depends on the vehicle, driving conditions and the panels you want protected.

Essential Front Coverage

Targeted protection for selected high-impact areas at the front of the vehicle. This option may suit drivers who want focused protection for the areas most exposed to stone chips and road debris without covering the complete front end.

Full-Front Coverage

Broader protection across the principal front-facing panels. The exact panels included will be confirmed for your vehicle, but full-front coverage is intended to provide more comprehensive protection for vehicles regularly exposed to highway driving and road debris.

Full-Vehicle Coverage

Comprehensive PPF protection across applicable painted body panels. Full-vehicle coverage is designed for new, prestige, performance and enthusiast vehicles where preserving the original paint is a high priority. The exact Avery Dennison film, finish, panel coverage and applicable manufacturer warranty will be specified in your written quote.

FAQ

Is it a good idea to invest in ceramic coating?

Absolutely. Investing in ceramic coating is a smart move if you want long-term car paint protection. It provides excellent scratch resistance, shields your paint from UV rays and environmental contaminants, and makes cleaning your car much easier thanks to its hydrophobic properties.

At Sharkey Auto Detailing, we recommend ceramic coating paint protection for owners who want that deep, high-gloss finish and enhanced car maintenance. While it’s not necessary for every car, those who regularly wash or wax their vehicles can benefit from this one-time application that saves time, effort, and cost over time.

Technically, yes — car wax can be applied over a ceramic-coated car, but it’s usually not needed. Ceramic coating already offers a high gloss finish and hydrophobic protection without needing traditional or synthetic waxes.

In fact, applying paste wax or liquid wax can interfere with the coating’s performance by attracting dirt or dulling the finish. These waxes may reduce the debris repellent effect and clarity of your coating. It’s best to let the ceramic coating do its job without layering on additional wax.

While ceramic coatings have self-cleaning properties, regular maintenance is key to preserving their performance. We recommend using the two-bucket method to wash your vehicle — one bucket for soapy water, and one for rinsing your sponge — to avoid scratches.

Routine washing, along with occasional use of pH-neutral car shampoos, helps retain the hydrophobic and chemical resistance qualities of your coating. This ensures your car maintains its clean look and strong paint protection over time.

Yes! Windshield ceramic coating is a popular option for improving clarity and durability. In addition to paint, ceramic coating can be applied to glass, vinyl wraps, fiberglass, and even paint protection film (PPF). It repels rain, dirt, and grime, making it easier to drive safely in poor weather.

At Sharkey Auto Detailing, we apply ceramic coating to more than just your paintwork — we help protect your entire vehicle from top to bottom.

Yes, but it requires the right approach. Ceramic coating is designed to bond tightly to your car’s paint and resist chemicals, UV rays, and moisture. To remove it, we use alkaline products like degreasers, which break down the bond safely.

If your coating is worn or needs to be refreshed, Sharkey Auto Detailing can handle the removal and reapplication process with professional care.

Proper preparation is essential to get the best results. At Sharkey Auto Detailing, we start by washing the vehicle to remove any waxes or sealants. Then, we perform a clay bar treatment to eliminate deep-seated contaminants.

Next, we carry out polish and paint correction to restore the surface and eliminate scratches or swirl marks. Only then do we apply ceramic coating, ensuring a clean bond and the ultimate car paint protection.

Ceramic coating can prevent light scratches and swirl marks, but it won’t remove deep scratches or chips. However, it greatly improves your vehicle’s scratch resistance and protects it from future damage.

If your car already has scratches, we recommend paint correction before applying the coating. Trusting a professional like Sharkey Auto Detailing guarantees the best finish and long-lasting protection.

Both PPF (Paint Protection Film) and ceramic coating have their strengths. PPF offers self-healing scratch resistance and is ideal for high-impact areas. Ceramic coating delivers hydrophobic properties, oxidation protection, and a stunning glossy finish.

Choosing between them depends on your needs. Sharkey Auto Detailing offers expert advice to help you decide — or even combine both — for full-spectrum paint protection that keeps your car looking like new.

Yes, ceramic coating Perth is a great option for a wide range of vehicles — from everyday cars to JDM, classic, and luxury cars. It adds a layer of long-lasting car paint protection, increases scratch resistance, and enhances the gloss of your vehicle. Whether you drive in city traffic or off-road, this protection is ideal for Perth’s hot, dry climate and harsh UV exposure.

Choosing professional paint protection Perth services like Sharkey Auto Detailing ensures expert-level application and long-term performance. DIY products may seem affordable, but they lack the durability, evenness, and proper surface prep needed. Our team uses professional-grade coatings and offers paint correction beforehand to ensure maximum bonding and results.

In Perth, both paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating offer excellent protection, but they serve different purposes:

  • PPF Perth (or paint protection film Perth) is a clear, durable film that physically blocks rock chips and scratches and even has self-healing properties.
  • Ceramic coating Perth offers hydrophobic properties, easier cleaning, and chemical resistance with a glossy finish.

For full protection, some car owners choose to combine both.

Yes, combining PPF Perth and ceramic coating is highly recommended for ultimate protection. PPF can be applied to high-impact areas like bumpers and hoods, while ceramic coating can cover the rest of the vehicle for enhanced shine, water repellence, and oxidation protection.

At Sharkey Auto Detailing, we provide both ceramic coating Perth and paint protection film Perth, customized to your vehicle’s needs.

In Perth’s dry and sunny climate, quality paint protection can last several years, especially if you opt for a high-grade ceramic coating or paint protection film. Our ceramic coating Perth applications last 2–5 years, while PPF can last up to 10 years with proper care. Regular car maintenance and gentle washing methods will keep your protection performing at its best.
