Drive it like you mean it.
PPF takes the hit. Your paint doesn't.
What Adelaide car owners say
Had a competitor's ceramic coating from new, and couldn't have been less happy. 10 months later, Tom and Dylan undertook the awful task of removing it, and applying PPF instead. Amazing attention to detail, and the BEST after sales service. Could not be happier.
I can't recommend Thomas enough! His attention to detail is second to none. He removed all the swirl marks from my car and applied PPF along with a teflon coating that left the finish looking incredible.
First time looking at how to make my BMW look like new and stay looking new. As soon as I met Tom, I knew I had found the right place. Gave me options, explained the process, more than happy to answer any questions.
Got my new car detailed with the high traffic areas protected by PPF. He treated me and my car well.
I came here to get ceramic coating, tint and PPF. I was a bit nervous leaving my brand new car with someone — but from the moment I walked in, Thomas made me feel completely at ease. The result speaks for itself.

Why the installer matters more than the film
Most PPF brands source from the same handful of factories. The film itself rarely separates a good job from a bad one — the installer does.
Seams you can't see. Edges that sit flush. No lifting at the corners six months later. That's not the film. That's technique, prep, and the patience to do it right.
At Thomas Mayer Automotive Detailing, every install is precision-cut with a Graphtec FC9000.Where templates fall short, we go custom install.
Custom bespoke installs, go that next step, with dissasembly and deep edges that make it close to impossible to find the edge of the PPF.
Every panel precision-cut. Where templates end, we go custom — edges wrapped, seams hidden, finish invisible.
What goes on your car
We don't use one film for everything. The right product depends on how you use your car, where you drive, and what finish you want.
How the process works
No surprises. No drop-off and hope for the best. Here's exactly what happens from first contact to picking up your car.
Thomas personally reviews your details. What coverage actually makes sense for your situation — not just the most expensive option.
Full decontamination and surface prep. PPF applied over contaminated paint is money wasted. Every install starts with a thorough clean.
Cut on the Graphtec FC9000 — plotted to your specific vehicle. Custom installs eliminate visible seam lines for a factory-style result.
Full inspection under controlled lighting before handover. Plus maintenance guidance so the protection lasts as long as it should.

The cars that trust us
Standard PPF wasn't
built for this.
For bush tracks, gravel roads, and high-speed debris — regular 8mil PPF works hard but has limits. STEK DynoMight is 10mil thick — 25% more TPU than standard film. The same self-healing, hydrophobic topcoat. Just built tougher.
STEK's DynoMight is warrantied for 10 years against delamination, yellowing, bubbling and cracking. As an authorised installer, every job is backed by the manufacturer warranty.

What we protect

Turn gloss into stealth. Our matte and satin PPF conversions completely redefine your vehicle — with optional full bumper and trim removal.
Your windshield takes a beating every day. Save time, by not needing to replace your windscreen when the inevitable occurs. Stop rock chips and cracks with WPF.
Still not sure?
The PPF market is saturated with brands all promising the same warranties. Brand reputation matters long-term. We use proven brands including STEK with real support and accountability.
In a perfect world, yes. PPF stops chips. Ceramics stop stains. Most films are hydrophobic, but that effect is temporary — a ceramic layer keeps water and contaminants sliding off longer.
Paint Protection Film is a clear or coloured polyurethane film applied directly to your vehicle's surface. It protects against stone chips, scratches, swirl marks, and light abrasions.
Template-fit is efficient and cost-effective. Custom goes further — extending beyond the panel edge for hidden seams and a completely seamless finish.
Quality PPF typically lasts 7–10 years depending on exposure, maintenance, and the film used. Pairing PPF with a ceramic coating extends the life of both products significantly.
Absolutely. We do a full assessment and any necessary paint correction first — there's no point protecting paint that's already compromised.
Started in a garage.
Still obsessed.
I started my detailing journey like the cliché — out of Mum's garage. At a crossroads between Software Development and Detailing, the decision was simple: detailing gave me genuine fulfilment. I never dreaded a day's work.
Since my first ceramic coating install in 2018, I've pursued advanced training both interstate and internationally, built strong relationships with suppliers and manufacturers, and today I'm approached by companies to trial new products and run hands-on training nights for local car clubs.
What started in a garage has grown into a purpose-driven business built on passion, knowledge, and pride in the craft. Come visit — 639 Magill Rd, Magill 5072.
