Paint protection in Melbourne - Recommendations

[Stinger GT SS]

I’m happy with how polished it looks so far but it’s only 6 months old. Couple of issues with the interior but it’s nothing major and just needs to be reapplied which they’ve done once and were happy to do it. The manager was pissed when she first saw it, I’ve just noticed some more since I got back from os so I’ll hit them up again, but otherwise I’m happy with it.

I had the same with the interior, missed spots, dealer sorted it no problem. I had rear section reapplied once spoiler was fitted & also around Stinger script badge + front apron with E badge charge $100, I thought reasonable.
Then 2 months ago I spotted a small triangular section on my bonnet at the wiper end, which was missed at original application obviously by a short armed applicator, could only see it at a certain angle in certain light, dealer reapplied the whole bonnet no charge & it rectified/removed triangular section.

I might ask them to do around the new badges but would like to fix the stone chips first and maybe get the whole bonnet done.

Main spots they missed on the interior first time round was the rear headrests, and a couple of sections on the doors. My drivers door at the moment has faded but only half of it, not sure why it’s only just showing now. There’s a clear line that looks like it hasn’t been applied but it wasn’t there before. I’ll just take pics and take it up with them closer to service.

It was doors & dash for me, especially around the back of the centre info screen, have a good look around there.

I’ve got a dash mat over it but I’ll have a look, thanks

Hi there @DMac , I can recommend a good business to do the PPF, they will do partial or full, whatever you like, they are in Tullamarine, if that's too far you can find others i guess closer to you, as for Ceramic Coating, i have been waiting for at least 6 months to take my Stinger to this place, it just never seems to be the right time, you look at their website and can see the Gallery of all the cars they have done, when you call you speak with the owner ( Morrie ) who is also the most experienced and qualified at Ceramic Coating, they coated one of the very first Stingers here in Melbourne, i have also seen in the Gallery on Facebook, a Deep Chroma Blue Stinger which i have seen in person back in Nov 2017 being detailed at my local dealership, if your interested look up reflection-perfection.com.au , and on Fackbook, they are located in Brunswick East.
I am still waitng for the right time to leave my car with them.

I got my Stinger done by Morrie, can recommend. He's done at least two DCB Stingers, one before mine and mine

Can you tell me who it is you recommend for the PPF? Looking to get a few panels done in the future.

For those looking to get a ceramic coating done, a large chunk of the cost is paint correction beforehand. Mine was in pretty bad shape after the dealer went to town on it before delivery.

The coating itself is pretty good and I think worth doing - it's like a permanent wax. It's not going to stop you getting swirl marks etc., but it's a huge timesaver from having to re-wax every few months. It also seems a bit easier to clean when there's heavy dirt.

@DCBStingerGT Tullamarine isnt too far, and could work in well with my interstate travel, who is it you recommend?

Hi @DMac , i got my Stinger wrapped in Tullamarine by IMWRAPPED, check them out at imwrapped.com.au, mine was done back in April 2018, and is fine, it's just a suggestion , so check the website and call them if you wish. Also interested to hear if you take your Stinger there, i also live real close, so we could actually meet up if you decide to go ahead.

Hi @Bothor , i have been wanting to get my Stinger Ceramic Coated by Morrie, i think for at least six months now, called them at least twice, just never seems to be the right time, i have seen two Deep Chroma Blue Stingers in the Gallery , one might have been yours ? I have no doubt about the work they do there, i intend to bring mine there still, do you mind giving me their address, so i can look the exact location, there is no address on the website, would be much appreciated.

I PM'd you, if he hasn't posted it he probably doesn't want the exact location public. The Google map location on his site is accurate within a few streets last time I looked.
