A coating makes the most sense on a new car or freshly corrected paint, so it stays that way through Hastings summers. It adds a protective layer that helps the paint resist strong UV, bird droppings and road grime. Niah and Ben prepare the paint carefully and apply it by hand at your home or work, wherever the car is in Hastings. The quote depends on the vehicle and the preparation its paint needs, and Niah or Ben will be in touch.
The Heretaunga Plains are flat, open and sunny, which is exactly why the fruit grows so well. It also means a car parked out on the plains takes the full force of the summer UV. A professionally applied ceramic coating adds a protective layer that helps the paint resist that UV, and leaves it slick enough that orchard dust rinses off instead of clinging to it.
How Hastings Is Served
Hastings is covered from the Spanish Mission streets of the city centre out to the orchard blocks on the plains. Niah and Ben set up at your home, your work or the yard, and you hear back from Niah or Ben to confirm a time that suits you.
Life On The Heretaunga Plains
Work Boots On The Carpet
Mud and grit from orchard rows ride in on work boots and get ground into the driver's footwell. Rubber mats help, but the carpet underneath still needs a proper clean every so often.
Open Sun Across Flat Country
The plains get long hours of strong summer sun. Paint and black plastic trims that sit out in it all day fade, and the clear coat loses its depth sooner than it would under cover.
Dust That Sits On The Paint
Fine orchard dust settles on paint overnight. Wiped off with a dry cloth or a duster, it acts like sandpaper and leaves the fine swirls you see on dark cars in direct sun.
