Audi ceramic coating on the Gold Coast
Flat factory finish that shows everything.
Audi's factory finish is among the flattest in the industry — very little orange peel. That's beautiful when it's clean and merciless when it isn't, because there's no texture to hide defects.
What Audi paint is actually like
Hard clear coat, flat finish, good film build. Corrects to an exceptionally sharp result but requires proper cutting to get there.
What we see most on Audis
Nothing hides
The flat finish means every swirl, hologram and water spot is visible under direct light.
Mythos Black and Daytona Grey
The two finishes we see most in the workshop, and the two that show marring hardest.
Hard clear coat
Requires a proper compounding stage — light polishing leaves defects behind.
Front-end chipping on RS models
Low, wide front ends collect stone chips across the bumper and bonnet leading edge.
How we prep a Audi before coating
Preparation is the job. The coating is the last hour of it.
- 1
Full inspection under LED and swirl-finder lighting, with paint depth readings recorded panel by panel.
- 2
Two-bucket hand wash, wheels and arches degreased, badges and shuts cleaned out.
- 3
Chemical iron and industrial fallout removal, then a clay treatment to lift bonded contamination.
- 4
Tape-up of trim, rubbers and sensitive edges before any machine work.
- 5
Multi-stage correction with a dedicated refinement pass — the flat Audi finish shows any compounding haze immediately.
- 6
Final inspection under multiple light sources including direct sun where conditions allow.
- 7
Panel wipe with a coating-safe solvent to strip polishing oils and reveal the true finish.
- 8
Fireball ceramic coating applied by hand, levelled panel by panel under controlled lighting.
- 9
IR / controlled cure, then a final inspection and handover pack with aftercare instructions.
