The Ceramic Coatings We Apply
We don’t use unbranded, no-name products. Ryan’s applies professional-grade ceramic coatings from three of the most respected names in paint protection, and we choose the right one for your car’s paint, age and how you use it:
- Gtechniq — a UK-developed coating range trusted by professional detailers worldwide, known for its hardness and long-term gloss retention.
- CarPro — renowned for its hydrophobic performance and slick, glassy finish. A strong all-rounder for daily-driven cars that live outdoors.
- Clean by Pan — a specialist coating system we use where a deeper, warmer gloss is the priority.
Depending on the product and package you choose, your coating is warranted to last 2, 5 or 10 years. We’ll tell you honestly which coating suits your vehicle and budget before we book you in — and we’ll explain what it will and won’t do, rather than overselling it.
How We Apply Ceramic Coating at Your Home or Work
Most ceramic coating in Melbourne means dropping your car at a workshop for two or three days. We do it in your driveway or your workplace car park instead — the same process, without you losing the car or arranging a lift.
- Paint inspection and quote. We assess the paint’s condition, note existing defects and confirm which coating and package suits the car.
- Deep wash and decontamination. A thorough wash, then chemical and clay decontamination to strip embedded iron, tar and industrial fallout. Coating over contaminated paint locks the contamination in.
- Paint correction. We machine-polish to remove swirl marks and light scratches. This is the step that determines the final result — a ceramic coating seals in whatever is underneath it, so the paint must be corrected first.
- Panel wipe. Every panel is wiped down to remove polishing oils, so the coating bonds directly to the clear coat.
- Coating application. The ceramic coating is applied panel by panel by hand, then levelled by eye under lighting before it flashes.
- Curing and handover. The coating needs time to cure before the car gets wet. We’ll tell you exactly how long to keep it dry and walk you through aftercare before we leave.
What we need from you: a flat, shaded spot such as a garage, carport or covered car park, access to power and water, and enough room to work around the car. If you’re not sure your space is suitable, send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Ceramic Coating Cost in Melbourne (2026)
Ceramic coating in Melbourne generally runs from about $800 to $4,000. That’s a wide range, and the reason is simple: the price is driven far more by how much paint correction the car needs than by the coating itself. A brand-new car needs very little correction. A ten-year-old daily driver with swirl marks and faded paint needs a lot — and that labour is where the cost sits.
What we charge:
- Brand new cars (up to 10,000 km) — from $990 (sedan), $1,150 (SUV), $1,300 (large SUV / 4WD). Minimal correction needed, so this is the cheapest time to coat a car.
- Used cars — $1,400–$1,600 (sedan), $1,500–$1,800 (SUV), $1,600–$1,900 (large SUV / 4WD). The range reflects how much paint correction your car needs.
What drives the price up or down: vehicle size, the coating you choose and its warranty length (2, 5 or 10 years), the current condition of your paint, and whether you add glass or interior protection. A larger 4WD simply has more panels to correct and coat than a hatchback.
Is it worth it? If you keep your car more than a couple of years and park outside, generally yes. The Australian sun is the real enemy here — UV bakes unprotected clear coat until the colour looks flat and chalky. A coating costs more upfront than a wax, but a wax lasts a few months and a coating lasts years. It also makes washing dramatically easier, which for most owners is the benefit they notice first.
A 1-year vs a 5-year coating: the shorter-life products cost less and are genuinely fine if you’re selling the car soon. If you’re keeping it, the longer-warranty coatings work out cheaper per year of protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does ceramic coating make my car scratch-proof?
2. Will I never have to wash my car again with ceramic coating?
No. A ceramic coating makes washing much easier and less frequent, not unnecessary. Dirt and water bead off rather than bonding to the paint, so a rinse removes most of it — but your car still needs regular washing to stay clean and for the coating to perform as it should.
3. How long does ceramic coating last?
4. Does ceramic coating fix paint imperfections like scratches or swirl marks?
5. Is graphene coating better than ceramic coating?
6. Can ceramic coating be applied at my home?
Yes — that is our whole service. We are a mobile ceramic coating business, so the work happens in your driveway, garage or workplace car park. All we need is a flat, shaded spot such as a garage, carport or covered parking, access to power and water, and enough room to work around the car. If you are not sure your space is suitable, send us a photo and we will tell you.
7. Which areas of Melbourne do you cover?
We cover most of Melbourne’s south-eastern and eastern suburbs, including Dandenong 3175, Springvale 3171, Berwick 3806, Narre Warren 3805, Cranbourne 3977, Pakenham 3810, Frankston 3199, Croydon 3136, Ringwood 3134, Rowville 3178, Glen Waverley 3150, Oakleigh 3166, Box Hill 3128, Bayswater 3153 and Ferntree Gully 3156. If your suburb is not listed, get in touch for a quote and we will confirm we can reach you.
8. Does a new car need paint correction before ceramic coating?
Usually a light one. Even a brand new car can leave the dealership with transport film, wash marks or light swirls from the pre-delivery detail, and a ceramic coating seals in whatever is underneath it. We inspect the paint first and do only the correction it actually needs — on a new car that is typically minimal, which is why coating a new car costs less than coating a used one.
9. Can I drive the car straight after ceramic coating?
Yes. The coating is touch-dry before we leave and you can drive the car normally straight away. What matters is keeping it dry while it cures — we will tell you exactly how long for the product applied to your car, and we walk you through the aftercare before we pack up.
10. How do I maintain a ceramic coated car?
Wash it regularly with a pH-neutral car shampoo and a clean microfibre mitt, avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes, and rinse off bird droppings and tree sap promptly rather than letting them sit. A coating makes washing easier, it does not replace it. A coating-safe maintenance spray every few months helps keep the gloss and water beading at their best.
11. Is ceramic coating better than wax?
For durability and protection, yes. A wax lasts a few weeks to a few months and sits on top of the paint. A professional ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, offering far better resistance to UV, road grime and chemical fallout. Wax is cheaper up front, but a coating works out cheaper per year of protection and makes ongoing maintenance much easier.
12. How much does ceramic coating cost in Melbourne?
Across Melbourne, ceramic coating typically ranges from about $800 to $4,000. Our pricing starts at $990 for a brand-new sedan and runs to $1,900 for a used large SUV or 4WD. The biggest single factor is how much paint correction your car needs before the coating goes on — new cars need very little, older cars need more.
13. Can I apply a ceramic coating myself at home?
You can buy consumer-grade coatings, and they will add some protection. The catch is that a ceramic coating seals in whatever is underneath it — so if the paint has swirl marks or contamination, a DIY application locks those in for years. The professional products we use also require controlled preparation and levelling. Most of what you pay a detailer for is the correction work before the coating, not the bottle itself.
14. Can I wax over a ceramic coating?
You can, but there is no real benefit. A ceramic coating already outperforms wax, and adding wax on top simply sits over the coating and masks its hydrophobic behaviour until it wears off. Stick to a pH-neutral car shampoo and, if you want to top it up, a coating-specific maintenance spray rather than a traditional wax.

Long-Lasting Paint Protection, Not a Wax That Washes Off
Traditional waxes and sealants fade after a few washes. A professional ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat and keeps protecting the paint for years, holding its gloss against UV, oxidation, road grime and the environmental fallout every Melbourne car collects.
Hydrophobic Protection for an Easier-to-Clean Finish
The benefit of a quality ceramic coating shows the first time it rains. Water beads and rolls off, carrying road grime with it, so washing is quicker and the gloss lasts. It is paint protection you notice every week, not just on handover day.
Protect Your Car from Scratches, UV Damage and Costly Correction
Defence against the elements. A ceramic coating significantly reduces the damage bird droppings, tree sap and acid rain can do to paint.
UV and weather protection. The Australian sun bakes unprotected clear coat until the colour looks flat and chalky. A coating takes that punishment instead of your paint.
Better resale. Paint in good condition is one of the first things a buyer or dealer notices. Protecting it early costs far less than correcting it later.
