Why It Matters

You notice the damage before you think about the cause.

Dull paint, gritty panels, bug marks, water spots and fine scratches are all signs the outside is taking the hit. Ceramic protection puts a durable coating over properly prepared paint so the car has a better chance in Queenstown.

01

Protect Paint

The paint gets a durable protective surface instead of sitting bare outside.

02

Restore Gloss

Paint correction and cut and polish prep sharpen gloss and clarity before coating.

03

Keep Sharp

The car leaves looking cleaner, richer and better set up for local use.

Is This For Me?

This is for owners who want the car to keep looking sharp.

Ceramic coating makes sense when the paint is new, freshly corrected, expensive to fix, or already starting to look tired.

I just bought it

Protect it before months of sun, frost, dust and road film start showing.

It looks dull

A machine polish can bring back gloss before ceramic protection is applied.

It lives outside

Sun, frost, dust and winter grime are exactly why the paint should not be left bare.

It needs to present well

Luxury cars, work utes and high-value daily drivers all benefit from a sharper protected exterior.

The coating Mason uses.

Mason uses NXTZEN Graphene Serum, a graphene ceramic coating, and is a NXTZEN certified installer. It gives the gloss, slickness and durability he wants for Queenstown vehicles.

The product matters, but the prep matters more. The coating goes over deep-cleaned and machine-polished paint, not over road film, dust or dealership wash marks.

Packages

New cars are not always perfect, but they are the easiest time to get this right. Mason refines and enhances the finish, then protects it before Queenstown has a chance to make the car look older than it should.

The Revival

Bring back the showroom shine and keep it that way.

Quoted individually

For cars that have lived a bit and are showing swirls, haze, wash damage, dullness, water spotting or scratches. We quote depending on the condition of the car and your goals - we can make things near perfect again or bring it back to beautiful, then protect the result with ceramic so it is not sent back out bare.

Includes

  • Multi-step clean and full chemical decontamination
  • Clay or towel decontamination
  • Correction work matched to the paint and your goals
  • Proper finishing stage for gloss and clarity
  • Long-lasting ceramic paint coating
  • Specialised window coating
  • Specialised wheel coating
  • Exterior trim protection where required
  • Final inspection and aftercare guidance

Size guide

Every vehicle Quoted on condition and goals

This is not a quick cut and polish. Modern clear coats are thin, and Queenstown is harsh, so the correction is done carefully and minimally invasively. Done properly, paint correction is safe, brings the car back to life, and gives the coating a finish worth protecting. Call or send the form and we will quote it properly.

New Car Protection add-ons

Interior ceramic

Professional-grade leather coating - protects seats against dye transfer, UV fade and wear while they are still new, without changing the feel. Fabric seats get a repellency treatment for spills.

+ $495

Front window tint

Front windows tinted while the car is in for its package - heat, UV and a finished look in the same visit. Full vehicle tinting quoted separately.

+ $295

Consultation Only

Classic and Bespoke Correction + Coating

For the special cars.

Bring Mason your pride and joy and he can work out how to make it look its best as safely as possible. This is consultation-only for classics, collector cars, special vehicles, sanding work, or expectations that need a bespoke correction plan.

Surface-Specific Coatings

Purpose-built protection for every surface.

All packages include specialised coatings for wheels and windows. These are not filler add-ons. They are different surfaces, under different stress, with different bonding behaviour, so Mason uses coatings selected for the job each surface has to do.

Paint

Ceramic paint coating for gloss, durability and Queenstown conditions.

Windows

Specialised window coating for rain, spray, frost and cleaning.

Wheels

Specialised wheel coating for brake dust, heat and dirty winter roads.

Trim

Exterior trim protection included where the vehicle needs it.

No shortcuts. Every package includes multi-step cleaning, decontamination and machine polishing because each step has to be right for the coating to bond properly, last properly and deliver value.

How It Works

Drop it at Glenda Drive. Pick it up protected.

1. Book or send details

Choose a ceramic start day, or send the vehicle details first if you want Mason to check the best fit.

2. Workshop preparation

The vehicle is deep cleaned, decontaminated and polished under workshop lighting. New cars get enhancement polishing; used cars that need more get proper correction.

3. Ceramic protection and cure

Ceramic coating is applied indoors and the vehicle stays inside for cure before handover.

Ceramic Protection

Send the vehicle details

If you are not ready to choose a date, send the vehicle and what you are noticing. Mason will come back with a straight recommendation.

Ceramic protection is done at 175 Glenda Drive. New cars usually suit New Car Protection. Older vehicles are quoted on the condition of the car and your goals.

Ceramic vs PPF

Ceramic protects the finish. PPF protects against stone chips.

Ceramic coating does not stop stone chips. Paint protection film is the chip product, and we now install it at the workshop - targeted film on the high-impact panels, ceramic over everything. The best-protected Queenstown vehicles run both.

Service Area

One workshop: 175 Glenda Drive, Frankton.

Every ceramic job is done at 175 Glenda Drive, under proper lighting, with time for paint prep and cure.

Vehicles come in from across Queenstown Lakes and Central Otago: Queenstown, Frankton, Arrowtown, Jacks Point, Lake Hayes and Kelvin Heights, plus Wanaka, Cromwell, Clyde and Alexandra. The workshop is roughly one hour from Wanaka via the Crown Range, and about 45 minutes from Cromwell via State Highway 6.

FAQ

Ceramic coating questions

Should I ceramic coat a brand-new car?

Yes, if you care about keeping it looking new. The best time to protect a vehicle is before Queenstown dust, grit, frost, bugs, water spots and bad washing start damaging the finish.

Do new cars need polishing before coating?

Yes. New Car Protection includes an enhancement polishing stage to refine the paint, remove light defects where safe, and give the coating a clean finish to bond to.

What if my car is not new any more?

New Car Protection is a 1-day protection package for new or near-new vehicles. For older or well-used vehicles we quote depending on the condition of the car and your goals - we can make things near perfect again or bring it back to beautiful.

Will paint correction make my paint perfect?

It is designed to deliver a serious corrected finish that holds up under proper lighting. Mason aims for 80-90% defect removal where safe and practical, while keeping the correction minimally invasive for modern thin clear coats.

Do you coat windows and wheels too?

Yes. All packages include specialised coatings for windows and wheels because those surfaces see different stresses and have different bonding properties.

How long does the process take?

New Car Protection requires 1 full day. Correction work adds workshop time, confirmed with your quote. Classic and Bespoke Correction + Coating is scoped by consultation.

Do you offer cheap ceramic coating packages?

No. Mason focuses on proper preparation, real correction where required, and surface-specific protection. The goal is not to be the cheapest coating option in Queenstown.

Where is the ceramic coating done?

At 175 Glenda Drive in Frankton, Queenstown. Ceramic coating needs proper lighting, clean application and indoor cure time, so every coating job happens at the workshop.

Do you take vehicles from Wanaka, Cromwell and Central Otago?

Yes. The coating work happens at 175 Glenda Drive in Queenstown. The workshop is roughly one hour from Wanaka via the Crown Range, and about 45 minutes from Cromwell via State Highway 6.
