Expert Paint Correction & Ceramic Coating in Brisbane
At Race-Ready Detailing, we understand that your car is more than just transport. It’s a reflection of your standards. Over time, even the best-kept vehicles in Brisbane lose their depth, gloss, and clarity. Swirl marks, fine scratches, water spots, and oxidation slowly dull the paint, no matter how careful you are. That’s where professional paint correction comes in.
Paint correction is the meticulous process of safely removing imperfections in your vehicle’s clear coat to restore a smooth, mirror-like finish. Using professional grade polishers, pads, and compounds, we carefully level out defects rather than hiding them, revealing the true colour, clarity, and gloss beneath. Unlike quick “cut and polish” jobs, proper paint correction is an art form that demands time, precision, and experience.
Why paint correction matters
If you’ve noticed dullness, swirling under sunlight, or a lack of depth in your car’s finish, paint correction is the only way to bring that back. Washing alone can’t fix these issues; they’re etched into the surface layer of your paint. Our paint correction service in Brisbane is ideal for car enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone who takes pride in their vehicle’s appearance.
The benefits go far beyond looks. A corrected surface not only shines brilliantly but also becomes the perfect foundation for long-term protection. Polishing removes contaminants and flattens out the paint, allowing ceramic coatings to bond properly.
Paint correction & ceramic coating: The perfect pair
Before a ceramic coating can be applied, paint correction is essential. The ceramic coating locks in whatever surface lies beneath it. Applying a ceramic coating to uncorrected paint means sealing in every swirl and imperfection. That’s why at Race-Ready Detailing, we always prepare the surface meticulously through a correction process before applying any coating.
Our ceramic coating services in Brisbane use Gtechniq products, some of the industry’s most advanced coating systems. These aren’t waxes or sealants, they’re nanotechnology based formulas that chemically bond to your paint, creating an ultra-durable layer of protection. The result is a surface that resists UV fading, bird droppings, tree sap, and chemical staining while maintaining unmatched gloss for years, not weeks.
The benefits of ceramic coating
Applied professionally, ceramic coating offers more than just shine, it’s functional protection. Once applied, the coating forms a hydrophobic surface that repels water and dirt, making washing dramatically easier and reducing the risk of wash-induced marring. You’ll notice how water beads and sheets off effortlessly, and how your car stays cleaner for longer.
For drivers in and around Brisbane this can be particularly valuable. With the city’s mix of sun, rain, and coastal conditions, traditional waxes break down fast. A properly applied coating withstands harsh environments, keeping your paintwork looking freshly detailed in every season. Whether you’ve got a daily driver, a performance car, or a weekend showpiece, this treatment preserves that high-gloss finish and protects your investment.

Every car we correct and coat is treated with the same care we’d give to our own.

Once the surface is perfected, our ceramic coatings lock in that finish, maintaining the clarity, depth, and smoothness for years.

Race-Ready FAQ

For an accurate quote send through photos of your vehicle and your requirements to info@race-readydetailing.com.au or give us call.
Can you remove all the swirl marks from my car?
In most cases, absolutely. Swirl marks are typically surface-level clear coat damage that professional correction can eliminate completely. However, if the marks go through to the paint layer, we’ll be honest about what’s achievable when we inspect your vehicle.
Do you do mobile paint correction or ceramic coating?
Due to the environmental requirements for achieving a perfect finish, we only do paint correction and ceramic coating at our physical location at 5 Lyrebird Street, Calamvale.
How long does ceramic coating last in Brisbane?
Our Gtechniq ceramic coatings typically last 5 years, when maintained to the manufactures specifications, even in Brisbane’s challenging conditions. Gtechniq recommends an annual maintenance detail to ensure the product lasts 5 years.
The extreme UV and coastal environment that breaks down traditional wax in weeks has minimal effect on properly applied ceramic coatings.
Is ceramic coating worth it for a daily driver?
Definitely. Think about how much easier your life becomes when washing takes half the time and your car looks fantastic with minimal effort. Plus, it protects your investment—important whether you plan to keep the car for years or sell it.
What makes you different from other Brisbane detailers?
We’re focused on getting the work right rather than rushing through it. We don’t use cheaper products to boost margins, and we won’t oversell services you don’t need. We’d rather do fewer jobs properly than compromise on quality.
How long does the correction and coating process take?
Plan on 2-3 days for most vehicles. Paint correction can’t be rushed—we need proper curing time between stages and controlled conditions for ceramic coating application. We’ll give you a realistic timeline when we assess your car.
