Our Google reviews are gold. Genuine, respectful and honest. That's just how we do it.

"As soon as I met Tom, I knew I had found the right place."
Gave me options, explained the process and more than happy to answer any questions. First time getting paint correction, ceramic coating and PPF done properly.

Had a car show and wanted it to look shiny and clean. Thomas ticked that box. You can tell he takes pride in his work.

"The details and all the hard to reach spots are perfect."
Ceramic coating on new wheels. Price is reasonable for a coating that stays up to 7 years. They even coated the stickers on the wheel.

"Amazing attention to detail, and the BEST after sales service."
Had a competitor's ceramic coating removed after 10 months and PPF applied instead. Could not be happier with the result or more grateful for the care.

Common questions
Everything you need to know
Modesta BC-08 from $1,100 inc GST. BC-X from $1,700. BC-04 and BC-05 from $2,200. Private Label from $3,300. Every car assessed individually.
Paint is assessed for every car. Ceramic seals whatever is underneath in glass for years. Swirls included. If correction is needed, it happens first. Most cars need some.
Modesta is a Japanese glass coating. Handmade, chemistry-first. It creates a three-dimensional glass layer on the paint. The gloss has to be seen in person. It doesn't photograph well because it's genuinely three-dimensional.
BC-08 multi-year entry point. BC-04 and BC-05 significant long-term durability. Private Label up to 10 years with proper professional maintenance.
Yes. One authorised Modesta installer in South Australia. Authorisation requires meeting their standards. It is not a commercial arrangement.
PPF is physical. It stops chips and absorbs impacts. Ceramic is chemical. Hydrophobic, UV resistant, optically enhancing. Applied together they cover everything the other doesn't.

Career highlight
Two race cars. Front row. The Bend Motorsport Park.

The Bend is a world class motorsport destination on the international racing circuit. When they needed a McLaren and a Ferrari detailed for the showroom floor, they called us. Both cars brought to full show condition. Delivered on time.
