5-Year Ceramic Coating | LDV D90

Gold Coast, Queensland

This 2024 LDV D90 came to us for a complete exterior refresh and long-term paint protection. Spending most of its life parked outdoors, the vehicle is constantly exposed to Queensland's harsh sun, UV rays and changing weather conditions. The owner wanted to restore the paintwork's appearance while investing in protection that would help preserve its finish for years to come. Our Single-Stage Paint Correction followed by a 5-Year Ceramic Coating was the perfect combination to enhance the vehicle's gloss, improve paint clarity and provide lasting protection against the elements.

The Process

Exterior Deep Cleaning & Decontamination

We began with a thorough exterior pre-wash and contact wash, removing accumulated dirt, road grime and environmental contamination from the vehicle.

The wheels, tyres, door jambs and exterior surfaces were carefully detailed before the paintwork underwent chemical and clay decontamination to remove embedded contaminants.

This preparation was essential to ensure the paintwork was completely clean and ready for correction and ceramic coating application.

Single-Stage Paint Correction

Before applying the ceramic coating, we carried out a single-stage machine paint correction, carefully polishing the paintwork to reduce light swirl marks, surface imperfections and any dullness that had developed over time.

This process enhanced the paint's natural depth, gloss and clarity, creating a beautifully refined finish.

Correcting the paintwork before coating also ensured we were protecting the best possible finish rather than sealing in existing imperfections.

5-Year Ceramic Coating Application

Following the paint correction, every panel underwent a dedicated surface preparation process to remove polishing oils and residue, ensuring proper bonding of the ceramic coating.

We then professionally applied a 5-Year Ceramic Coating, creating a durable protective layer over the paintwork.

The coating provides excellent hydrophobic properties, helps resist environmental contamination and makes regular washing and maintenance significantly easier.

Most importantly for a vehicle that spends its life outdoors, the coating provides added resistance against UV exposure, oxidation and the harsh Queensland elements.

The Results

The finished result was outstanding.

The LDV D90 now has a beautifully glossy, smooth and reflective finish, with improved paint clarity and depth following the single-stage correction.

Beyond the immediate visual transformation, the vehicle now benefits from long-term ceramic protection designed to help preserve its appearance for years to come.

With enhanced water repellency, easier cleaning and added resistance against environmental exposure, the D90 is better equipped to handle Queensland's intense sunshine, rain and everyday outdoor conditions.

For a vehicle that lives outside, professional ceramic protection is an investment in maintaining its appearance and reducing the effects of long-term exposure.

From a daily-driven SUV exposed to the elements to a beautifully corrected and ceramic-protected finish, this LDV D90 demonstrates the benefits of combining professional paint correction with long-term ceramic coating protection.
