Ceramic Coating
A specially formulated blend of nanostructured silanes and siloxanes that, when hand-applied, chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint or glass. The great news is that once applied, it significantly slows down the natural deterioration of your car’s exterior.
At Timmy’s Detailing, we proudly use Gtechniq, one of the industry’s most trusted and high-performing brands.
We offer tailored package options to match your needs, expectations, and budget. Simply get in touch with us to discuss your vehicle, and we’ll customise a ceramic protection plan just for you. Please note that a deposit is required to confirm your appointment. We recommend allowing at least 1–2 days for application and curing time.
Our professional-grade ceramic coatings include Gtechniq Crystal Serum, as well as other top-tier options like CarPro and Gyeon. These coatings offer advanced protection with superior gloss, surface slickness, and high resistance to swirls and chemicals.
We also offer Modesta Glass Coating as part of our premium range. Known for its thicker, more durable finish, which is achieved through its high glass content, Modesta provides unmatched long-term protection and clarity. For full details, please visit our Modesta Glass Coating section.

Why Choose Ceramic Coating for Your Car?
Ceramic coating offers long-lasting, high-performance protection that outperforms traditional waxes and sealants. Here’s why it’s a smart choice:

Advanced Protection
Forms a durable chemical bond with your car’s paint, creating a strong shield against daily wear and tear.

UV & Environmental Resistance
Helps prevent fading and damage from UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, acid rain, and chemical contaminants.

Preserves Appearance
Keeps your car looking glossier for longer by maintaining that freshly detailed finish.

Easy Maintenance
The ultra-smooth, hydrophobic surface repels dirt and water, making cleaning faster and less frequent.
Premium Car Paint Protection
Over time, it’s common for a vehicle’s clear coat to degrade, especially in a place like Altona, where Melbourne’s unpredictable weather takes a toll on your car’s paintwork. Factors like UV rays, tree sap, iron fallout, acid rain, bird droppings, and even harsh cleaning products can all contribute to paint fading, peeling, and oxidation.
At Timmy’s Detailing, we specialise in high-quality car paint protection in Altona that not only enhances your vehicle’s appearance but also provides long-term defence against the elements.
That’s why paint protection remains one of our most essential services. With numerous brands available on the market, we understand how confusing it can be to choose the right one. That’s why our team has handpicked the most reliable and advanced solutions, ensuring we only use coatings we fully trust on all customer vehicles.
Our specialists recommend the best paint protection option based on your car’s model, finish, usage, and budget. We offer three main types of paint protection, including ceramic and glass coatings, synthetic sealants, and high-performance waxes.
Our experienced technicians apply advanced ceramic coatings that deliver long-lasting durability, water-repelling performance, and a rich, glossy shine. Whether you’ve just purchased a new vehicle or want to preserve the condition of your daily drive, our services are customised to meet your needs and expectations.

The detailing was excellent, and the ceramic coating finish looks incredible — shiny, clean, and protected. Great attention to detail and very professional service. Highly recommend this car detailer!Posted on Google Steve KeysTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hi Timmy and staff. I couldn’t be happier with the marine grade ceramic coating applied on our 2026 Titanium S3 caravan that Timmy and staff have done so meticulously. I have been in the body work industry for several decades myself and I know what huge work is involved in ceramic coating a large caravan. Timmy explained every step along the way and communicated with me regularly and sent short videos of each stage. I would be very happy to recommend him for his meticulous work and communication. THANK YOU TIMMY. Steve KeysPosted on Google Romano CicognaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great service, accommodated our circumstances with tight timeline. We had the marine grade ceramic coating to the van. Very impressed with the outcome, thank you.Posted on Google Peter TaskerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had the detail and marine seal completed on my Aussie Five Star “Jumbuck” The attention to detail and the final finish is amazing. The silicon edges are cleaner than they have ever been. The gloss finish of the orange ends and pimple checker plate is bedazzling. Cannot express how happy we are with the Team at Timmy’s DetailingPosted on Google Salam AhwalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Better Than Factory Perfection! I drove my brand-new Tesla Model Y directly from the delivery center to Timmy's Detailing, and it was the best decision I could have made. Honestly, the car looks significantly better now than it did rolling off the factory floor! Here is exactly why they earned a 5-star rating from me: - Flawless Paint Correction: Despite being brand new, the car had some minor factory scratches. The team flawlessly removed them and prepped the surface perfectly. - Stunning Modesta Coating: They applied a Modesta coating that completely transformed the Ultra Red paint. The depth, gloss, and shine are absolutely incredible. - Comprehensive Protection: Their attention to detail is next level. They applied a premium interior protection coating, ceramic coated the windscreen, and even took the time to ceramic coat the exterior black plastic trim to keep it looking fresh. - Exceptional Craftsmanship: You can instantly tell they are incredibly dedicated to their trade. Every inch of the car shows off their great craftsmanship. - Fast & Affordable: They completed the work impressively fast without cutting a single corner, all for a very reasonable price. If you are picking up a new car or want to protect your investment, I highly recommend Timmy's Detailing.

Absolutely stunning work from Adam and the team at Timmy’s Detailing. I had my window tints done, a full detail, paint correction and Modesta BC04 ceramic protection applied to the car, and the final result honestly exceeded my expectations. The paint now has an incredible gloss and the whole car looks completely transformed. Adam clearly takes pride in his work and pays attention to every part of the car. He took the time to explain the process, kept me updated and made sure everything was completed properly. The price was also excellent for the amount of work involved and the quality of the finish. He even coated my wheels with ceramic protection as a gift, which I really appreciated. That small gesture showed the level of care he has for his customers. There is no one else in the area I would trust to deliver this level of workmanship. I will definitely be coming back and will also be bringing my family’s cars to Timmy’s Detailing.
