Ceramic coating adds a hydrophobic protective layer to your caravan's exterior panels, whether that's fibreglass, aluminium or gel-coat. It bonds to the surface and creates a barrier against UV, salt film and general road grime — meaning less time spent scrubbing between trips and better long-term protection for your van's paintwork and decals.
The coating process
- Full decontamination wash to prepare the surface before coating
- Panel-safe ceramic coating application, suited to fibreglass, aluminium and gel-coat
- Hydrophobic protective layer that resists dirt, UV and salt film build-up
- Aftercare guidance so the coating lasts as long as possible between services
Perth conditions age panels fast
Intense UV chalks and fades exposed panels faster than milder climates, and coastal storage adds a salt film that works into hardware and hinges over time. Ceramic coating creates a sacrificial barrier between your van and both of those problems.
Common questions
How long does ceramic coating last on a caravan?
Typically 1-3 years depending on storage conditions and coating grade. Vans stored outdoors in full sun generally need a shorter maintenance cycle than shaded or undercover storage.
Does it fix oxidation or chalky panels?
Coating bonds best to a clean, sound surface. If panels are already heavily oxidised, we'll let you know during assessment whether the surface is a good candidate for coating or needs a different approach first.
