Ceramic coating, paint correction and paint protection for Hampton 3188 — mobile, at your home or workplace, or at our Berwick studio about 32 km away.
Salt is the whole story in Hampton. Air off the water carries a fine saline film that settles on paint, trim and brightwork and keeps working on it long after the car looks dry.
Every Hampton booking is handled by Andy himself — owner-operated, 30+ years on paint, and the same standard for a daily driver, a work ute or a weekend car. Tell us the car and what is bothering you and you will get a straight answer.
Around Hampton station, Linacre Private Hospital and Alexander Park.
Towing through salt water and parking near the ramp puts salt straight onto the lower panels and wheels. They need a proper rinse, and coating makes that rinse effective.
Exterior metal trim pits and dulls in salt air. Coating it keeps it bright.
Wet towels, sunscreen and sand wear interiors quickly. Coated fabric and leather resist sunscreen marks and moisture.
Salt film on glass scatters light and makes night driving harder. Glass coating keeps it clearer and sheds water at speed.
You get a straight assessment of what the paint needs, and what it does not.
Wash, iron treatment and clay, so the surface is genuinely clean before it is corrected.
Swirls, holograms and etching are levelled out by machine, measured as we go.
A certified coating, a proper cure, a registered warranty and a simple wash routine.
Andy is mobile as well as studio-based, so the work can be done at your place in Hampton or at the Berwick studio, about 32 km away. Near the water it is salt air and the sea breeze that matter: a coating needs to cure dry and out of the wind. A closed garage does that; otherwise the studio does. Tell us where the car is kept when you book and you will get a straight answer on which suits the job.
Yes. Salt holds moisture against the surface and accelerates corrosion wherever the paint is chipped. A coating stops the film bonding and lets it rinse away.
More often than inland - a thorough rinse after windy days and beach trips helps a lot. On a coated car that rinse does most of the work.
Yes. Brightwork and plastic trim suffer as much as paint by the water, and both can be coated.
