Ceramic Coating · Ahuriri
Between the inner harbour and the estuary, Ahuriri air carries salt. Niah and Ben apply a professional ceramic coating at your home or work, adding a protective layer against salt residue.
The Package
One professional coating, applied at your place and quoted for your car. If the paint needs correcting before it is sealed, Niah or Ben includes that in your quote so you know exactly what you are paying for.
Your paint sealed under a professional ceramic coating, so it stays glossier, washes easier and stands up to the Bay's sun and salt.

Worked in panel by panel, levelled off and left to cure.
The whole job is done where the car lives, anywhere in Hawke's Bay.
Niah or Ben explains the warranty on the phone before you book, so there are no surprises.
Why Bay For Ceramic Coating
Ahuriri's inner harbour was Napier's port until the 1931 earthquake lifted the seabed, and the suburb still lives right beside the water. Cars parked along the quay and the waterfront streets take salt and sun together, the hardest combination there is on bare paint. A professionally applied ceramic coating protects the clear coat, helps it resist salt residue and UV, and keeps the gloss. Niah and Ben apply it by hand where you park.
With the inner harbour on one side, the estuary on the other and Napier Port just around the hill, salt is part of the air in Ahuriri. It dries on paint as a fine film, and the sun bakes it on. A professionally applied ceramic coating gives your paint a slick protective layer that helps it resist salt residue, so it is far easier to rinse off.
How Ahuriri Is Served
Niah and Ben come to you in Ahuriri, whether you live near West Quay, in a house by the estuary or work close to the port. They set up where the car is parked, and you hear back from Niah or Ben first to find a time that suits.
Harbour, Estuary And Port
Westshore beach is close by, and its grit comes back in shoes, towels and the boot. It works down into carpet and seat rails, where it needs more than a quick vacuum to shift.
The Ahuriri Estuary supports more than 70 species of water birds. Droppings are acidic, and baked on by summer sun they can mark clear coat if they are left for days.
Salt settles on paint most days here, so it is tempting to wipe it off. Dry wiping drags the crystals across the clear coat and leaves the fine swirls that polishing later has to remove.
01
A coating is only as good as its application. It goes on panel by panel over properly prepared paint, then is levelled and left to cure.
02
Hawke's Bay is one of the sunniest parts of the country, and Napier sits right on the water. A coating gives the paint a buffer against both.
03
If the paint has swirls, Niah or Ben will tell you before it is coated and quote the correction, so you are not paying to seal defects in.
04
Niah and Ben apply it together at your place, with around five years of detailing experience each.
Hawke’s Bay Conditions
Four things cars here live with every day. Pick one.
On Unprotected Paint
Hawke's Bay is one of the sunniest regions in New Zealand, and summer UV is strong. Over time it fades and flattens paint, and dark colours show it first.
With A Ceramic Coating
A ceramic coating adds a protective layer over the clear coat, so the paint holds its depth and gloss for longer under a strong sun.
A coating does not stop stone chips or make paint scratch proof. It makes the paint far easier to keep, and far harder for the sun and the salt to wear down.
