Autoclean - Bay of Plenty

Ceramic Coating Tauranga

Professional paint protection that lasts years. We enhance the paint first, then apply a ceramic coating that bonds to the clear coat and protects against everything the Bay of Plenty throws at it.

What It Is

Paint That Stays
Protected for Years

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your car's clear coat. Once cured it creates a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water, contaminants and UV - and doesn't wash off like a wax or sealant.

Before any coating goes on, we do a full decontamination - iron fallout, tar and bonded contamination using a clay bar - leaving the surface smooth and completely free of contaminants before any machine work begins. The machine polish then removes light swirl marks and surface defects. Better paint going in, better protection coming out.

Tauranga's coastal environment makes ceramic coating a smart investment. Salt air, UV and humidity work against unprotected paint every single week.

Who It's For

Is Ceramic Coating
Right for Your Car?

New Purchase
Just Bought It?
Fresh paint with minimal marks is the easiest start. Coat it now and you're protected from day one, with less prep work needed.
Daily Driver
Sick of Reapplying Wax?
If you're washing and waxing every few months just to keep up, a ceramic coating does that job for years instead.
Needs More First
Got Swirl Marks or Scratches?
Coating over existing damage just seals it in. If your paint's already marked up, Paint Correction should come first.
Why Autoclean

What You're Actually
Paying For

The Product
Feynlab Professional-Grade
Installer-only coating system, not a shelf product. Higher solids, real durability.
The Prep
Full Decontamination First
Every panel clayed and decontaminated before any machine work starts.
The Convenience
Done At Your Door
No workshop drop-off. We bring the gear, you keep your day.
The Guarantee
Warranty-Backed
Each tier comes with a matching warranty, not a sales pitch.
Paint not in great shape?
Heavier damage needs to be
fixed before it's coated

If your car has deep scratches, heavy swirl marks or older neglected paint, coating over it seals the damage in permanently. We'll tell you honestly when we see the car. If correction is needed first, our Paint Correction service sorts the paint properly and includes a ceramic coating at the end. One job, done right.

The Process

How It Works

01
Wash and Decontamination

Full hand wash, iron fallout and tar removal, clay bar decontamination. We need a tap and power point for all jobs. Surface has to be completely clean before machine work starts.

02
Machine Enhancement

One-stage machine polish removes light swirl marks and surface defects. The paint looks better before the coating even goes on.

03
Surface Prep

Panel wipe-down removes any remaining residue. The surface needs to be completely clean and oil-free for the coating to bond properly.

04
Ceramic Coating Application

Coating applied panel by panel under a garage or carport. Working under cover is essential for a proper bond - this is why covered access is required for all ceramic jobs.

05
Cure, Inspect and Finish

Full inspection under light across every panel. Tyres, trim and glass finished. Your car is ready when you are - protected for years.

After the Coating

Keeping It Performing Properly

Your coating lasts longer when maintained properly

A ceramic coating dramatically reduces how much work your paint needs - but regular maintenance is what keeps it hydrophobic, clean and looking the way it did on day one.

Some clients like a monthly visit - quick wash, spray sealant top-up and interior refresh. Others prefer quarterly or every six months. We work around whatever suits you.

  • Avoid brush-type automatic car washes
  • Use pH-neutral wash products only
  • Monthly option - maintenance wash, sealant top-up and interior refresh
  • Quarterly and 6-monthly decontamination and coating top-up
  • Annual full maintenance detail for a thorough reset
  • We reach out when you're due - existing clients get priority booking
Maintenance Plans
Regular Maintenance, Done for You
We offer flexible maintenance plans for existing coating clients. Monthly, quarterly or 6-monthly - whatever frequency keeps your car looking the way you want it. Each visit includes a maintenance wash, spray sealant top-up, interior refresh and coating check. We'll reach out when you're due.

Yes. Each package carries a matching written warranty. Our Winter Special (Guard) carries 1 year, Essential carries 3 years, and Prestige and Signature carry 5 years.
No, nothing chemically applied stops scratches or stone chips. What it does is reduce swirl marks from washing and keep the surface easier to maintain. For physical impact protection you're looking at PPF, which we don't currently offer.
We use Feynlab, a professional-grade coating system only available through certified installers. It's not something you can buy off the shelf, which is part of why the application process matters as much as the product.
Yes, and it's actually the ideal time. A new car has minimal swirl marks, so it needs less correction work before the coating goes on.
The coating takes about 24 hours to initially cure - try to keep it dry and out of the rain during that window. You're fine to drive normally after that, just hold off washing it for a full week while it fully cures.
