Protection packs

Three packs.
One table.

Every pack is a Titan Coating job — the difference is how much of the car gets covered. Pick the pack, pick the size of the car, and the table works out the rest.

Appointment only — the bay takes one car at a time, so the sooner the pack is picked the sooner a slot can be held.

What a coating is

Protection you
can measure.

A coating is a sacrificial layer bonded to the surface — it takes the UV, the bird droppings and the wash marring so the paint underneath does not. GlossWorks works with Titan Coatings, and every pack is applied by Kent, not handed to a crew.

01 / Paint

Paint

Two-year Titan Coating on all painted panels, applied panel by panel and levelled under controlled light so the gloss reads even across the car.

2-year term · all painted panels

02 / Glass

Glass

Hydrophobic coating on the windscreen, side and rear glass. Water sheets off at speed, which is most of what you notice in Toowoomba weather.

Hydrophobic · all glass

03 / Trim

Trim & plastics

UV-stable protection on textured plastics, arch liners, seals and the black trim that fades first when a car lives outside.

UV-stable · textured plastics

04 / Wheels

Wheels

Barrels, faces and calipers coated so brake dust rinses instead of bonding. The part of a detail that quietly saves the most time later.

Barrels, faces, calipers

The process

Five stages.
No shortcuts.

One car in the bay at a time. Nothing gets polished over dirt, and nothing gets coated before the paint has been read properly.

Booked by appointment — the bay is only ever working on one car.

01

Appraisal

Kent walks the car with you, reads paint depth across the panels and tells you straight what the paint will and will not give back. This is where the real number comes from.

Before anything is booked

02

Shake & bake wash

The workshop's pre-wash routine: road film, iron and tar lifted first, then clay. It is the stage most cars skip, and the reason most cars come back with swirls.

Decontamination

03

Correction

Machine correction to take out wash marks, swirls and the dullness that hides the colour. The depth in a finished car comes from this stage, not from the coating.

Where the gloss comes from

04

Coating

Titan Coating applied panel by panel, flashed and levelled, with the car sitting in a closed bay between stages. No dust, no shortcuts, no panel skipped.

Closed bay

05

Cure & handover

Left to cure, inspected under light, then handed back with aftercare notes for the first wash. What you do in the first fortnight decides how the coating ages.

Aftercare included

Five years with Kent. Coating re-coated when it needed it, and the attention to detail and quality of detailing is amazing.

Long-term customer · Birdeye

Absolutely brilliant work! Amazing service!

Birdeye review

Kia Stinger GT, coated two years ago and it still looks like new.

Stinger GT owner · Birdeye

New Lexus in for coating with Kent — very happy with how it came back.

Questions

Before you
book it in.

If the answer is not here, ring Kent. He would rather talk it through than have a car turn up for the wrong job.

Do I need an appointment?

Yes — appointment only. The bay takes one car at a time, so nothing gets rushed and nothing sits waiting while another job is finished.

Where is the workshop?

Harlaxton, Toowoomba QLD 4350. The street address is confirmed when you book, because the workshop is not a shopfront you can drop into.

How long is the car with you?

Roughly a day for a paint-only coating, two for a full exterior, three for full in/out. Paint correction adds time, and how much depends on what the paint needs.

What is the shake & bake wash?

It is the workshop's own name for its pre-wash stage — the part that lifts road film, iron and tar before anything touches the paint. Kent will walk you through it when the car is in.

Can I book paint correction without a coating?

Yes. Correction can be booked on its own and is quoted after an appraisal, because the price depends on how much paint has to come off to get the finish back.

Which coating do you use?

Titan Coatings. Every pack on this page is a Titan Coating job — the difference between packs is coverage, not the product.

How do I get a price?

Ring 0468 413 996, or send a message through Facebook or Instagram with the car and what you want from it. Figures on this page are placeholders and are not Kent's prices.
