How long does ceramic or graphene coating last?

Ceramic coatings typically last 2–5 years, depending on how the vehicle is maintained and stored. Graphene coatings offer extended durability, often lasting up to 7 years thanks to higher heat and chemical resistance, which performs especially well under Canberra’s harsh UV and seasonal extremes.

Do I need paint correction before coating?

In most cases, yes. Coatings bond to the surface and lock in the condition of the paint. If there are swirl marks, light scratches or oxidation, they can appear more obvious once coated. Paint correction removes or refines these defects first, allowing the coating to bond to a clean, high-gloss surface and deliver the best possible result.

Can a new car benefit from ceramic or graphene coating?

New cars benefit significantly from ceramic or graphene coating. Factory clear coat is thin and unprotected, and Canberra’s UV, frost and dust can quickly age the finish. Protecting a new vehicle early creates a durable barrier from day one, helping the paint stay glossy and easier to maintain for years.

How long will you need my car for the coating process?

Most coating bookings require 24–48 hours, depending on the condition of the paint and the level of correction required. This allows time for decontamination, correction, coating application and proper curing, so the coating performs as intended and delivers long-term protection.

What is the difference between ceramic and graphene coatings?

Ceramic coatings deliver strong gloss, hydrophobic performance and chemical resistance, typically lasting 2–5 years. Graphene coatings add higher heat resistance, improved water-spot resistance and longer durability, often lasting up to 7 years. Ceramic can be ideal for many daily drivers, while graphene suits owners wanting the most advanced and long-lasting protection.

How do I maintain my coating to make it last?

To maximise coating life, we recommend regular hand washing with a pH-neutral shampoo, avoiding harsh automated washes, using quality microfibre towels and removing bird droppings or bugs promptly. We also provide simple aftercare guidance tailored to your coating type and driving habits to keep gloss high and protection strong.

Professional Window Tinting for Vehicles Across Canberra, Queanbeyan & Surrounds

Automotive window tinting improves comfort, visibility, and interior protection while enhancing the overall appearance of your vehicle.
When professionally installed, tinting reduces UV exposure, glare, and heat transfer through glass — delivering everyday benefits whether you drive short city routes or long highway trips.

Our window tinting services provide a practical, long-term upgrade for vehicle owners across Canberra, Queanbeyan and surrounding regions.

The Benefits of Professional Window Tinting in Canberra

Window tinting is more than a cosmetic upgrade.

When professionally installed, quality window tint enhances the overall driving experience by reducing glare, stabilising cabin temperatures, and improving visual comfort in varying light conditions.

It also plays an important role in protecting interior surfaces from UV exposure, helping preserve dashboards, upholstery, trims, and electronic components over time.

In addition, window tint adds an extra layer of privacy and security, reducing visibility into the vehicle while maintaining clear outward visibility for safe driving.

Untinted glass allows ultraviolet radiation to penetrate the cabin, accelerating wear to dashboards, leather, trim and electronic components.

Professional window tint blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, helping preserve interior materials, reduce fading, and protect occupants from prolonged sun exposure.
Window tint reduces solar heat gain through glass, stabilising interior temperatures and improving comfort during daily driving.

This benefit becomes especially noticeable during extended drives, stop-start traffic, and vehicles parked outdoors.
Glare from low sun angles, headlights and reflective surfaces can cause eye strain and fatigue.

Tinting softens harsh light without compromising visibility, improving driving comfort and safety in both day and night conditions.
Tinted windows add a refined, cohesive look to your vehicle while increasing privacy for passengers and belongings.

Whether you prefer a subtle factory-style tint or increased privacy, professional installation ensures a clean finish without distortion.
Canberra’s mix of strong sunlight, long highway driving and temperature fluctuations can accelerate interior wear.

Window tint provides an added layer of protection against these factors without being the sole reason for tinting — it simply enhances long-term vehicle care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Window tinting is legal in both Canberra (ACT) and NSW when installed within the regulated visible light transmission (VLT) limits set by local transport authorities.

These limits vary depending on window position and vehicle type, which is why professional assessment matters.

During your consultation, we confirm current compliance requirements and recommend tint options that meet legal standards while still delivering effective glare reduction, UV protection, and cabin comfort.

This ensures your vehicle remains road-legal without compromising performance or appearance.
The lifespan of window tint depends on the quality of the film, the installation process, and how the vehicle is maintained.

High-quality window tint — particularly ceramic window tint — is engineered for long-term stability and resistance to fading, bubbling, or peeling.

When professionally installed in controlled conditions and cared for correctly, ceramic tint can perform reliably for many years, maintaining clarity and consistent heat and UV rejection far longer than entry-level or dyed films.
No. Professionally installed window tint is designed to maintain optical clarity while reducing glare from headlights, street lighting, and reflective road surfaces.

When the correct tint level is selected, visibility in low-light and night-time conditions remains clear and unobstructed.

In many cases, drivers find night driving more comfortable due to reduced glare and eye strain, provided the tint complies with legal VLT limits and is installed correctly.
Yes, and many owners choose to install window tint on new vehicles early as a preventative measure.

Tinting a new vehicle helps protect interior surfaces from UV exposure, reduces heat build-up through glass, and maintains the original condition of dashboards, upholstery, trims, and electronics.

Applying tint early supports long-term interior preservation and helps retain the vehicle’s appearance and resale value over time.
Most window tinting installations are completed within a few hours, depending on the vehicle type, window configuration, and tint selected.
