Not Every Coating
Is Equal.
Neither Is Every Applicator.

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.

The Process

How We Protect
Your Investment.

Every coating begins with consultation and ends with certainty. Here's what to expect when you book with Fine Shine.

01
Consultation

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.

02
Paint Preparation

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.

03
Coating Application

Professional ceramic coat applied in a controlled environment, panel by panel, with precision levelling and curing.

04
Collection & Care

We walk you through your coating, hand you the aftercare guide, and send you off with a result that speaks for itself.

The Specialist
Behind Every Shine.

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.

"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."

Ceramic Coating FAQ

Your Questions
Answered.

Everything Melbourne car owners ask about ceramic coating — answered honestly by someone with 26 years of experience doing it.

Speak to Jimmy
What is ceramic coating and how does it protect my car?
Ceramic coating is a professional liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle's paint, creating a semi-permanent hard layer of protection. Unlike wax or spray sealants that wash away, ceramic coating becomes part of the surface. It repels water, blocks UV rays, resists bird droppings, tree sap and chemical contaminants — and makes your Melbourne car far easier to keep clean year-round.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Melbourne?
At Fine Shine, professional ceramic coating starts from $895 for new vehicles. The final price depends on your vehicle's size, current paint condition, and which warranted package you choose. We offer free consultations — call Jimmy for an accurate, no-obligation quote specific to your car.
What's the difference between a 5-year and 7-year ceramic coating?
Both are professional-grade coatings backed by a written warranty — far superior to anything available in a consumer kit. The 7-year coating uses a higher-grade formula with greater coating thickness, superior gloss depth, and extended durability. It's the preferred choice for prestige, luxury, and high-value vehicles. Not sure which suits your car? Jimmy will assess it for free.
Is ceramic coating worth it for a new car in Melbourne?
Absolutely — and applying it to a new car is actually the ideal time. The paint is in perfect condition with no correction required, meaning the coating bonds to flawless paint from day one. Melbourne's UV, bird droppings, and environmental fallout will immediately start attacking unprotected paint. A new car ceramic coating from $895 is one of the best investments you can make in your vehicle.
Does my car need machine polishing before ceramic coating?
For new vehicles, a mechanical machine polish is performed on the paint surface. This process further cleans and enhances the cosmetic appeal of the paint, while ensuring proper bonding of the ceramic coating to the surface. For used vehicles, a more intensive machine polishing and paint correction procedure is required to level out deeper imperfections in the paint before ceramic coating is applied.
How long does the ceramic coating process take?
Most ceramic coating applications at Fine Shine take 1–2 days depending on the vehicle's size, condition, and package selected. We'll give you a clear, accurate timeframe during your consultation — no vague estimates.
Do you provide a written warranty on ceramic coating?
Yes — always. Every ceramic coating applied by Fine Shine comes with a written warranty for either 5 or 7 years depending on the package chosen. That warranty means something, because Jimmy's name and 26-year reputation are behind it.
Why choose Fine Shine over other Melbourne ceramic coating specialists?
26 years of experience, 355+ five-star Google reviews, professional-grade coatings, and every vehicle personally handled by Jimmy — not passed to junior staff. Our reputation is built one car at a time, and we intend to keep it that way. We're also upfront about pricing: ceramic coating from $895 with no hidden costs.
