Guardian Exterior Protection

Long-Lasting Protection for Your Car’s Paint and Finish

New Zealand’s changing weather, UV rays, and road grime can take a real toll on your car’s paintwork. Over time, you might notice dulling, fading, or marks from bird droppings, tree sap, or stone chips. Guardian exterior protection is designed to prevent that damage. It combines nano-ceramic coating and paint protection film to provide advanced car exterior protection that preserves your paint’s gloss, depth, and durability.

This innovative product is four times more durable than any quartz-based coating, providing not just a layer of protection, but a formidable shield for your vehicle’s exterior.

Using silicon dioxide and silicon carbide technology, the ceramic coating bonds directly to your car’s paint surface. Once cured, it forms a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants, helping your vehicle’s paintwork stay cleaner for longer. Whether you’re protecting a new car or maintaining a well-loved one, Guardian exterior paint protection offers a professional solution to extend your car’s life and shine.

Advanced Ceramic Paint Protection

Guardian’s ceramic paint protection creates a tough barrier that safeguards your paint from UV damage, oxidation, and staining. This coating has self-cleaning and reflective properties, meaning dust, dirt, and road grime are less likely to stick, and your paint looks freshly polished even after rain or long drives.

The coating’s hydrophobic nature helps prevent water spotting, while its thermal resistance shields your paint from temperature extremes. The result is a high-gloss, low-maintenance finish that enhances your car’s exterior without needing frequent wax or polish.

Our team applies the product carefully, panel by panel, following the manufacturer’s process to ensure even coverage and optimal curing. This precision approach gives your vehicle exterior protection that lasts for years and makes washing and upkeep simple.

Paint Protection Film for Everyday Impact

While the ceramic coating repels chemical contaminants and UV rays, paint protection film adds a physical layer of defence. This transparent, flexible film protects high-impact areas such as the bonnet, rear bumper, door edges, and door cups from stone chips, scratches, and scuffs.

The paint protection film helps minimise light marks and swirls, with its surface able to smooth out minor imperfections when exposed to heat. Available in a clear finish, it adds an extra layer of resilience to high-contact areas while maintaining your car’s original look.

Together, the film and coating form the ultimate protection package, one that keeps your paint pristine, glossy, and ready for any condition.

Why Exterior Protection Matters

Every day, your car is exposed to airborne contaminants and environmental damage such as rain, bug splatter, and road salts. Without protection, these gradually erode your clear coat, leading to permanent discolouration and loss of shine.

Guardian’s exterior protection shields your vehicle from this wear and reduces cleaning time and frequency.

Guardian’s coating system helps:

  • Prevent UV damage and fading on painted panels and plastics
  • Resist stains from bird droppings, tree sap, and road grime
  • Reduce wash marks, scratches, and swirl patterns
  • Maintain a smooth, reflective surface for a long-lasting shine
  • Extend the lifespan of your paint finish with correct care and aftercare products

This, combined with our interior car protection options, is designed to make vehicle maintenance easier, cleaner, and more efficient.

Quick Service

Our trained technicians complete most ceramic and film applications within the same day, depending on whether you choose both interior and exterior protection, or just one.

Customer Satisfaction

We take pride in every job and provide detailed aftercare advice so you can maintain your car’s paintwork and exterior finish confidently.

Guaranteed Protection

With over 40 years in the automotive industry, Instant Tinting delivers tested, reliable vehicle exterior protection products built for New Zealand roads and weather conditions.

Quality Excellence

We're your trusted experts, delivering unmatched quality and service that sets us apart from the rest.

The Guardian Process

Preparation is the foundation of long-lasting results. Our trained technicians follow a detailed process to ensure consistent coverage and optimal performance.

Each service starts with a thorough clean and decontamination to remove any dirt, residue, or old wax from your car’s surface. We then carefully smooth out any light marks or imperfections to create the perfect base. After that, the ceramic coating is evenly applied to every panel so it bonds properly to the paint.

Once cured, it forms a tough, protective layer that stands up to everyday driving and Australian conditions.

How Exterior Protection Complements Interior Care and Tinting

Guardian exterior and interior protection work best as a complete system. While Guardian exterior protection shields your paint and trims from UV exposure and contaminants, Guardian interior protection helps preserve your cabin’s leather, fabric, and vinyl. Together, they form an all-round car care package that protects your entire vehicle.

Adding window tinting completes the setup. Tinting blocks up to 99% of UV rays, reducing cabin heat and protecting interior surfaces from drying and cracking.

Combined, these treatments create a cleaner, cooler, and more comfortable driving experience, inside and out.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Guardian car paint protection is a professional-grade ceramic coating that bonds to your car’s paint, creating a durable, hydrophobic barrier that protects against UV rays, dirt, and chemical contaminants.

    Guardian coatings can last for up to ten years with correct care. The lifespan depends on how often the car is washed, exposure to sunlight, and environmental conditions.

    Yes, but it’s not necessary. The ceramic paint protection already provides superior gloss and water beading compared to wax. Polishing can even reduce coating performance, so gentle washing is all that’s needed.

    Yes. Alongside ceramic and film options, we provide interior protection and car window tinting to help you keep your vehicle in showroom condition.

    Yes. The coating can be applied to gloss, matte, and metallic finishes without changing the look or texture of the surface.

    Yes. It’s perfect for new cars to lock in that factory finish but can also restore protection to older vehicles once the surface is prepared.

    Wash regularly using pH-neutral car shampoos and soft microfibre towels. Avoid harsh brushes, abrasive polishes, or high-acid cleaners. This ensures the coating’s longevity and maintains the shine and protection of your paintwork.
