Why VIP
A specialist, not just a wash
Paint correction, done properly
Paint correction is a specialised process designed to remove minor scratches, swirl marks, hazing, water spots, and other imperfections from a vehicle's clear coat. Using professional-grade machines, advanced techniques, and a range of cutting and polishing compounds, microscopic layers of clear coat are carefully refined to restore a deep gloss, smooth finish, and enhanced paint clarity.
How long will it last?
The longevity of paint correction largely depends on how well the vehicle is maintained afterwards. With proper care, paint correction can last for many years and may never need to be fully repeated. Proper maintenance includes using high-quality microfiber wash mitts and towels, safe washing techniques, premium cleaning products, and drying the vehicle with filtered air where possible. Storing or parking the vehicle in protected areas also helps minimise damage from bird droppings, environmental contaminants, and the harsh New Zealand sun.
Ceramic & graphene coating protection
Ceramic and graphene coatings provide advanced long-term protection for your vehicle's paintwork, glass, wheels, and exterior trim. These high-performance liquid coatings bond to the surface, creating a durable, ultra-hydrophobic layer that helps protect against UV damage, contaminants, water spotting, and everyday wear.
At VIP, we use only premium-grade ceramic and graphene coating systems to deliver the best possible results. However, the key to a long-lasting coating is proper preparation. That's why every vehicle undergoes a meticulous decontamination and paint preparation process to ensure maximum bonding, durability, and finish quality.
Ceramic vs graphene
Ceramic coatings are a popular form of long-term paint protection, offering gloss, hydrophobic properties, and protection from everyday contaminants. Graphene coatings are the next step up, providing greater durability, slickness, water resistance, and an even glossier finish. Both coatings are applied in a similar way and deliver excellent protection — with graphene offering enhanced performance and longevity.

"What an amazing job resurrecting a tired 10 year old black Japanese car with marginal paintwork!"
"I recently got a stage one cut and polish done and I'm genuinely impressed with the result. The paint had swirl marks and light scratches before, but now it looks deep, glossy, and much cleaner. You can tell proper prep and care went into the work."
"Excellent service and super happy with the results!"
"Best ceramic coat in town! Very reliable and not to mention his attention to details."
"Excellent experience, good communication, most of all highly recommend. Car was cleaned to a high standard outside and interior, attention to detail and took their time. Thank you for your service."
