Professional ceramic coating, applied personally by Jimmy — Melbourne's most trusted specialist for over 26 years.
Trusted by Tesla, BYD, Zeekr, Polestar & MG owners across Melbourne.
We only use professional-grade coatings that simply aren't available off the shelf — the same standards, applied by the same hands every time.
Ceramic coating from $895 for new vehicles — free consultation included.
Labocosmetica HPC Pro
A professional-grade hybrid nano-ceramic coating that bonds directly to your paint, creating a hard, permanent protective layer that enhances your car's appearance while shielding it from the elements.
Feynlab Ultra
Our most advanced ceramic coating — an ultra-high solids professional formula that delivers extraordinary gloss, maximum protection, and a finish that genuinely has to be seen to be believed.
Any workshop can buy a bottle of ceramic coating. Very few have spent 26 years understanding exactly how to prepare paint, control the environment, and apply it perfectly. That difference is everything — and it's exactly what separates Fine Shine from every other ceramic coating option in Melbourne.
We use only professional-grade, industry-certified coatings — products that simply aren't available off the shelf. No consumer-grade kits. No unskilled staff. Every ceramic coating is applied personally by Jimmy, with 26 years of experience behind every panel.
Every coating begins with consultation and ends with certainty. Here's what to expect when you book with Fine Shine.
For new cars, your consultation can be done over the phone — quick, easy, no visit required. For used vehicles, a paint inspection is normally needed first so Jimmy can assess the condition of your paintwork and recommend the right package.
For new cars: full wash and chemical decontamination of the paint surface, followed by a single stage gloss enhancement to mechanically clean the paint surface and enhance gloss levels — all before the application of ceramic coating.
Professional ceramic coat applied in a controlled environment, panel by panel, with precision levelling and curing.
We walk you through your coating, hand you the aftercare guide, and send you off with a result that speaks for itself.
Professional car detailing available at Fine Shine. Whether it's a full detail before ceramic coating or a one-off refresh, we'll have your car looking its best inside and out.

Enquire Now →I started Fine Shine over two decades ago with one belief: paint protection done properly is one of the best investments a car owner can make. That belief hasn't changed. My standards haven't either.
Every car that comes through my studio is worked on by me. I don't delegate the work that matters. 26 years in, I still find the same satisfaction in watching a perfectly applied ceramic coat catch the light.
"Your car is an investment. I treat it like one — because my reputation depends on it."
"Jimmy was fantastic to deal with — extremely friendly, easygoing, and didn't try to upsell me on things I didn't need. The ceramic coating looks incredible; the car honestly looks better now than the day I picked it up from the dealership. If you want a professional finish without the stress, go see Jimmy."
"Jimmy has been absolutely fantastic — his attention to detail, care, and dedication are second to none. He has taken great care of all my cars for over a decade and the results truly speak for themselves. Every vehicle has maintained an incredible shine with zero issues. The quality and consistency of his work are unmatched."
"5-stars without a doubt. Jimmy absolutely exceeded my expectations — the ceramic coating left the entire surface gleaming with incredible depth and shine. He took the time to walk me through every step and steered me away from unnecessary upsells. Pricing is incredibly competitive. Jimmy's the real deal — couldn't be happier."
"Astonishing! Jimmy was an absolute gentleman — very friendly and helpful. We had him apply a ceramic coat to the paint and the car came up immaculate. I couldn't be happier. With such professionalism and being just a great guy, I'll be coming back 100%."
"I couldn't be happier with the work Jimmy did on my two brand new cars. From start to finish the service was absolutely top-notch. Both cars look better than the day I picked them up from the dealership. The shine is incredible and the ceramic coating gives me total peace of mind. Outstanding service — 5 stars all the way."
"Just picked up my shiny Civic Type R from Jimmy. Amazing job — the car just pops in the sunlight. Jimmy took the time to do the necessary rework from another company's earlier attempt and the car looks completely different as a result. I would gladly recommend him to anyone for your prized vehicle."
At the prestigious Concorso d'Eleganza 2025, two Ferraris prepared by Fine Shine were judged against the finest cars in the country — and took the top two honours.
"Concours judging is as demanding as it gets. Every surface matters. For two Fine Shine-prepared Ferraris to come away with Gold and Platinum on the same day — that says everything."
