Ceramic Coating & PPF for Labrador Drivers
Our studio is in Southport, about 3 km (straight line) from Labrador, at 68 Davenport Street, Southport QLD 4215. For cars parked near the Broadwater we recommend our 10-year Drip 9H ceramic coating from $1,320 inc GST, which makes salt and grime easier to rinse off. Front Half PPF is $3,300 for stone-chip protection. The current 10-Year Ceramic package offer adds glass coating, wheel faces and interior protection for $1,045 inc GST (valued at $2,090).
Living beside the Broadwater
Labrador sits on the Broadwater, right next door to Southport. Cars parked near the water pick up salt air and sea spray, and salt left sitting on paint, glass and trim is worth rinsing off regularly with fresh water.
A ceramic coating does not make paint salt-proof, but its hydrophobic surface means salt, water spots and grime let go more easily, so a rinse and gentle wash does more of the work. That is the main reason Broadwater-side owners coat their cars.
If the car also does highway kilometres, add Front Half PPF to stop stone chips on the bonnet and bumper.

How far is the studio from Labrador?
About 3 km (straight line). The studio is at 68 Davenport Street, Southport QLD 4215, in the next suburb.
Does ceramic coating stop salt damage?
No coating makes paint immune to salt. Ceramic coating makes salt and grime easier to rinse off, so regular fresh-water rinses and gentle washes are quicker and more effective.
How should I wash a coated car that lives near the water?
Rinse salt off regularly with fresh water, wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo using the two-bucket method, and avoid automatic brush car washes.
