"Had my M340i booked in for a full exterior and interior detail at Top Down. Couldn't be happier with the work and experience, they brought the car back to showroom condition especially the interior. Definitely will be back in the future."

IGL Coatings typically last 3–7 years depending on the product tier, your maintenance routine, and driving conditions. With proper care — regular washes and annual maintenance checks — you can expect the upper end of that range. We walk you through maintenance at handover.
Ceramic coating locks in the condition of your paint. If swirl marks or scratches are present and we coat without correcting, those defects will be sealed in. We always inspect your paint first and will tell you honestly whether correction is needed before we proceed.
It depends on the service. An interior detail is typically one day. Paint correction plus ceramic coating is usually 2–4 days. We give you an accurate timeframe when we assess the vehicle and confirm your booking. We don't rush to fit another car in.
Yes — cars, SUVs, 4WDs, utes, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, caravans, and prestige vehicles. If it has paint that needs protecting or a cabin that needs restoring, we can help. Just get in touch and tell us what you have.
Yes. Ceramic coating services come with a manufacturer warranty from IGL Coatings, backed by our status as an authorised installer. You get full documentation at handover.
We contact you before doing anything extra. No surprises on the invoice. We explain what we found, what we recommend, what it costs — then you decide. We never proceed with additional work without your approval.
