Ceramic coating & car detailing in Campsie

Ceramic and graphene coating, window tinting, paint correction and full detailing for Campsie 2194. At our Lakemba studio, or we come to you.

Just up the road

Every service we offer is fully mobile, correction and coating included. Bring the car to the Lakemba studio, or we come to your home or workplace.

We are close enough to Campsie that dropping the car in before work and collecting it after is genuinely easy. Or stay put and we come to you. Every service is available either way.

The studio is at 75 Sproule St, Lakemba NSW 2195, and we work across the whole LGA, with every service mobile and correction and coating included. One car at a time either way, which is the only way this work holds up. Open seven days, 7am–9pm, so a visit or a drop-off fits around work.

We have done jobs in Campsie. Rated 5.0 from 168 Google reviews, and an accredited installer for Gtechniq, System X, Ethos Graphene and Magnum. Those coatings are not sold retail. Manufacturers release them to trained installers only, because applied badly they are expensive to remove.

Correction has to come first

A ceramic coating is transparent and it cures over whatever is underneath it. Apply one to swirled paint and you have sealed the swirls in for the life of the coating, typically for years. This is the single most common and most expensive mistake in the industry.

So the sequence is: assess, decontaminate, correct, panel-wipe to strip polishing oils, then coat. Skipping the panel wipe means the coating bonds to residue rather than to paint, which is why some coatings fail within months while the same product on the next car lasts years.

The four we fit, and who each suits

Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra is the flagship, and the clearest illustration of why accreditation exists. It is not sold to the public at all; Gtechniq releases it only to installers they have trained. Hardest cure, best gloss retention. For a car you intend to keep.

System X gets applied through a certified network, with the warranty registered in the owner’s name. Worth knowing that System X state it cannot be transferred to a new owner, and that annual inspections by an approved applicator are required to keep it valid.

Ethos Graphene uses graphene chemistry on the same principle. What owners notice is less water spotting and better heat dissipation across the panel, which matters on a dark car parked outside through a Sydney summer.

Magnum is Australian-made, and we are an authorised Magnum detailer, which is what makes their longest guarantees available. The range runs from a one-year ceramic up to Obsidian S1+ graphene at 9H with a seven year guarantee, and Luminous X at ten. Both long terms require annual inspections. Same preparation underneath either way; what changes is hardness, durability and warranty.

What a coating will not do

It will not stop a stone chip. A coating is measured in microns and handles chemical attack, UV and washing, but not physical impact. Anyone telling you otherwise is overselling.

It does not make the car self-cleaning, and it does not survive automatic brush washes. The washing that follows determines lifespan more than the product does.

Questions we get from Campsie

How much does car detailing cost in Campsie?

Our prices are published rather than quoted on request. An interior deep clean is $295, a full showroom or pre-sale detail is $695, and exterior and interior coating starts at $1,295. What a price list cannot tell you is how much paint correction your car needs, because that follows the condition of the paint rather than the model. Call 0470 429 866 and we can usually price it on the spot.

Is ceramic coating worth it?

On a car you intend to keep, on a new delivery before the first wash, or on dark paint where swirls show badly, yes. On a lease car going back soon, or paint too thin to correct safely, often not. We will tell you when a smaller package gets you most of the result.

How dark can I go on tint?

That depends on the car and the look you are after. Rayno Phantom runs from a light film you would struggle to notice through to limousine dark, and the front and the rear are usually specified separately. Factory glass already carries some tint and it combines with the film, so we hold samples against your own glass so you can see the shade on the car before anything is cut.

Do you come to Campsie or do I bring the car to you?

Whichever suits you. Every service we offer is available mobile, including paint correction and ceramic coating. The studio at Lakemba is there if you would rather drop the car in.

How long will you need my car?

A detail or a tint is usually same day. Paint correction with a ceramic coating runs longer, because the correction is slow and the coating then needs time to cure before the car gets wet.
