Mercedes-Benz ceramic coating on the Gold Coast
Hard clear coat, exceptional depth when corrected properly.
Mercedes clear coat is genuinely hard. It takes real work to correct, but the depth you get out of a properly finished Obsidian Black is worth every hour.
What Mercedes-Benz paint is actually like
Hard, durable clear coat with strong film build. Resists marring better than most, but when defects are there they need proper compounding.
What we see most on Mercedes-Benzs
Obsidian Black swirls
The hardest colour in the industry to keep clean-looking. A single wrong wash undoes it.
Hard clear coat resistance
Light polishing does nothing here — defects need a proper cut then a refinement stage.
Designo and special-order finishes
Matte and special finishes require product selection specific to that paint.
Chrome and brightwork staining
Coastal air marks the chrome and polished trim these cars carry a lot of.
How we prep a Mercedes-Benz 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
Paint depth mapped and a test spot completed per colour to establish the correct cut for the hard clear coat.
- 6
Chrome, brightwork and polished trim cleaned, polished and coated separately.
- 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.
