Ceramic coating is an affordable, long-lasting solution to protect your car’s paint. It creates a durable shell that resists UV fading, corrosion, rust, and sun damage — while making your car easier to clean. Once applied, it bonds to the factory paint and helps block moisture from reaching the metal underneath.
This added layer prevents dirt, grime, and contaminants from sticking, reducing wear over time. You’ll enjoy a deep gloss finish and fewer wash days.
As an accredited Gtechniq installer, KD Auto Detailing delivers exceptional results with detailed prep, multi-layer coating, and final inspection. Our studio in Gilles Plains proudly serves customers across Adelaide, Campbelltown, Modbury, Klemzig, and surrounding suburbs looking for lasting ceramic protection they can trust.

Every ceramic coating installation at KD Auto Detailing is handled with precision, experience, and attention to detail. Our process ensures your vehicle receives flawless finish, lasting durability, and premium protection from the elements.
We begin with a foam bath and hand wash to remove dirt, road grime, and surface buildup. Then, we perform tar removal and clay bar treatment to eliminate embedded contaminants — creating a clean, slick surface for optimal bonding.
If your paint has swirl marks, oxidation, or light scratches, we restore clarity and depth with machine polishing. Depending on your package, this includes a single-stage or multi-stage paint correction to refine the finish before coating.
Our certified installers apply high-grade ceramic coatings by hand, one panel at a time. Based on your selected package, we also protect trim, glass, wheels, and interiors. Every layer is leveled and given proper curing time to form a strong, hydrophobic barrier.
Before delivery, we inspect the entire vehicle to confirm consistent coverage, bonding, and gloss. You’ll also receive aftercare advice and maintenance tips to help you get the most out of your ceramic coating for years to come.
We’re trained and certified to apply industry-leading coatings like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Ethos Graphene Pro. Each application follows strict standards for lasting results and unmatched gloss.
With hundreds of satisfied customers across Adelaide, we’re trusted for our precision, transparency, and superior finish. Our work speaks for itself — and so do our reviews.
We use professional-grade ceramic and graphene coatings that offer 5–10 years of protection, with warranty-backed coverage. Our coatings are registered and recognized by top-tier brands.
As a South Australian business, we take pride in serving our local community with honest service, competitive pricing, and world-class workmanship trusted by vehicle owners across Adelaide.
At KD Auto Detailing, we often get asked: Should I choose paint protection film or ceramic coating? The truth is — both serve different purposes. We help Adelaide car owners decide based on their driving habits, budget, and how they use their vehicle.
PPF is a thick, clear polyurethane film applied to high-impact zones like the front bumper, hood, door edges, and side mirrors. It’s designed to absorb stone chips, scratches, and scuffs, making it the go-to solution for daily drivers, long-distance commuters, and new car owners.
Ceramic coating is a liquid-applied nano-layer that chemically bonds to your paintwork, creating a slick, hydrophobic surface. While it won’t stop rock chips, it’s perfect for making your vehicle easier to maintain and glossier year-round.

Ceramic coating offers exceptional protection and shine — but there’s still a lot of confusion around what it can and can’t do. Let’s clear up the most common misconceptions we hear from Adelaide car owners:
Ceramic coating adds a strong layer of protection, but it doesn’t make your paint invincible. It can resist light swirls and micro-marring, but it won’t stop deep scratches or rock chips like paint protection film (PPF). That’s why many drivers in Adelaide choose PPF for high-impact areas and ceramic coating for full-body gloss and maintenance ease.
Ceramic coating makes your car easier to clean, but it doesn’t make it “self-cleaning.” Dust, water spots, and bird droppings still happen — they just don’t bond to the surface as easily. Regular washing is still essential to maintain that slick finish.
Wax lasts weeks — a quality ceramic coating can last years. At KD Auto Detailing, we apply professional-grade coatings from Gtechniq and Ethos, backed by warranties of up to 10 years. These aren’t off-the-shelf products — they chemically bond to your paint, creating a durable hydrophobic layer that resists UV rays, chemicals, and more.
Even brand-new cars can benefit from ceramic protection. In fact, the best time to apply a coating is when the paint is still in pristine condition. It locks in that factory finish and protects it from early-stage fading, oxidation, and environmental damage — especially under Adelaide’s sun and unpredictable weather.
At KD Auto Detailing, we proudly provide professional ceramic coating services across all Adelaide suburbs. Our shop in Gilles Plains is a trusted destination for car owners looking for heat protection, UV defense, and cleaner installs done right.

At KD Auto Detailing Adelaide, our ceramic coating packages offer protection from 5 years to lifetime coverage, depending on the product. We use professional-grade coatings like Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra and Ethos Graphene Pro, known for extreme durability and gloss retention.
We recommend waiting 5–7 days before your first wash. After that, only use pH-neutral shampoos and avoid automatic brushes. Our Adelaide-based detailers also offer maintenance washes to preserve coating longevity.
No. Ceramic coating will lock in the paint’s current condition. That’s why we always include single or multi-stage paint correction in every ceramic package, to remove imperfections before applying the coating.
Absolutely. Wax lasts weeks. Ceramic coating, on the other hand, offers years of hydrophobic protection, high-gloss finish, and better chemical resistance. It’s the smarter choice for Adelaide’s changing climate.
Each package includes a deep wash, clay bar treatment, paint correction, and application of ceramic coating on paint, wheels, glass, and interior. We also offer engine bay and headlight ceramic coating free of charge.
Ceramic coating is scratch-resistant, not scratch-proof. It reduces the chances of light swirls but can’t stop deep scratches or stone chips. For impact protection, we recommend pairing it with Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Yes. New vehicles benefit greatly from ceramic coating. It locks in the factory paint finish, shields against UV and pollutants, and preserves resale value. Our Adelaide workshop offers next-day appointments for new vehicles.
Yes. At KD Auto Detailing, we coat glass, wheels, trims, leather, fabric, and plastic surfaces. Products like Gtechniq G5 and C5 offer long-term clarity and ease of cleaning.
Spray coatings last a few months. We use multi-layer nano technology ceramic and graphene coatings, applied in a controlled environment by certified installers — offering much stronger bonding and longevity.
