HSV GTO

2005 HSV GTO Build #442

Paint Correction & Ceramic Paint Protection Coatings

We were asked to return this GTO to its former glory. A self confessed user of the dreaded brushes at the pay car washes, the before video demonstrates the damage incurred.

From the outset the task was to be a lengthy process:

Endless hours of wet sanding

Heavy Water stain removal

Swirl marks

Scratches

Paint touch-ups

Wheels & brake calipers cleaned, which we then coated in a high temperature ceramic coating.

Comment from the owner, “I didn’t hold out any hope that you could repair it. Instead it is better than new”

Check out the video to see the transformation.

Its our pleasure –

The best in the biz! I took my new jeep here devastated after a dodgy job from another place. These guys went above and beyond in every way, so helpful and accommodating. It was an experience I’ll never forget and worlds apart from the other company. My car looked so good and still does over a year later (only just getting to the review now 😅). I will be sending any future cars I own here no questions asked!

After purchasing my first car and having 0 experience with any sort of protection, Adelaide Paint Protection came in clutch.Vini was quick and detailed with his responses to my novice questions and that really strengthened my confidence in APP.I purchased their small car pinnacle package for my Hyundai Kona (2023) with interior protection and window tint. Of course, not without my own pricing research. I found APP to be competitively priced and their 2 day time frame assured me my car would be getting the attention and care I wanted.Arriving, Vini greeted me with a smile and a firm handshake. I knew I had made the right decision.Collecting my car was hassle free and receiving the photos and videos that were taken during the protection of my car just wows me as to the amount of work that goes into a service like this.Overall, I am highly satisfied with their service and I will one day return with a Lamborghini if my gambling addiction pays off. Thank you Vini and APP team!

We recently dropped our new BYD Dolphin off at Adelaide Paint Protection for ceramic coating and window tinting. The service from Vini and the team was nothing short of amazing, and the result was absolutely stunning. If you're looking for someone who will treat your new car with care, and hand it back to you looking better than ever, you can't go wrong with Adelaide Paint Protection.

AMAZING! I reached out to APP via their enquiry form and the next day Vini called me. Vini was great to talk to and walked me through the process. He explained the difference between the packages and was super helpful in describing what conditions would suit which package. I dropped the car off on a Friday (public holiday too) and picked it up on Saturday afternoon. Absolutely stoked with the results. Would recommend APP to anyone wanting to make sure their car is properly protected from the elements.

It’s rare these days to find people with such passion and honesty in business, but the folks at APP are just that. They were very helpful in ensuring that I got the right solution for my particular circumstances and explained all technical details. Finally, they did the most amazing job which surpassed my expectations. Well done to all the team at APP - you are amazing!

In Douglas Adams' classic novel, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, there was a spaceship called the Heart of Gold. It's hull was totally frictionless. That's what my car's paint felt like after Vini and his team were finished with it! Yes there are cheaper paint protection options you can choose in Adelaide, but for the complete package, great service and exceptional results, go directly to APP! The pinnacle package is worth every penny. Thanks Vini and team, you do fine work.

We purchased a blue Tesla model Y and wanted to keep it looking it's best. I did a lot of research regarding paint protection and we went to APP to speak about the ins and outs. Vini was great guided us through the benefits of ceramic coating and wrapping as well as pointing out what it couldn't do. As a result we got the partial wrap and coating. The results were better than we expected. We are extremely happy. The customer service was excellent.Thoroughly recommend them.

Just picked up my new Audi S3 from APP after having it Gyeon Duraflex Ceramic coated. I had a full treatment completed inside, outside, external glass, rims, brake calipers, exhaust tips and the car looked good when I picked it up from the dealer a few days earlier, but now after APP applied the new Gyeon coating, it absolutely 'Pops', the gloss is outstanding, the paintwork is as smooth as silk, no bumps, no blemishes, it just shines from the paint to the rims, it is brilliant.I would like to thank Vini and Anna for making me feel at ease as soon as I met them, they knew what they were doing and were able to portray their expertise in paint protection and looking after my brand new car as though it was their own. It made it so easy for me leave it there, just after picking it up.I was amazed of how many scratches and imperfections they found on my brand new car, and that the repair and preparation was key to getting the results that APP were able to get for me. They also took over 150 pictures, videos of the before, after and during the application to show the detail they went to.They did such an excellent job, I am getting my wifes new VW Tiguan R-Line also completed with exactly the same treatment.Get APP to do your car, you wont look back, it will turn heads everywhere you go, money well spent and no polishing for thext 5 yrs !!!Just had my third car done by the team at APP, a new Tiguan R, as per all my other cars it was done with love as though it was their car. Due to the delays from the dealership Vini and his team were still able to fit our car in at short notice.Absolutely excellent work and I wouldn't trust any one else with my cars.So if you want to get car ceramic coated, then don't go anywhere else, the dealers cant compare at all.I have another 2 cars coming up and have already teed it up with Vini.Another car to be Completed by Vini and his team, Cupra Formentor, i know they will do a great job.I have just had my 7th car completed by Vini and his team, absolutely perfection, our new Cupra came out stunning and his whole attitude with all our cars has been the same the entire time i have known him, over 5 years now and he and his team are always ready to assist and give 120% on our cars, but are also excellent to deal with, great for a chat and above all a enormous amount of Integrity. They give you that peace of mind, when he takes your new baby away, you know it will come back better than New, much, much better.He didnt let us down at all, the new car is stunning, with a deep gloss that wasnt there from new, but he worked his magic and he never ceases to surprise me.I would thoroughly recommend APP, Vini and his team to look after your pride an joy and i will continue to go to APP for many more years to come.

Had the ceramic coating put on my new black Volkswagon Golf and it looks fantastic! The weather has been pretty wet since having it done and the water beads easily. I am looking forward to some nicer weather when the car will stay cleaner and look shiny in the sunshine 🌞 Customer service was excellent with everything explained thoroughly, highly recommend.

I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved Q7 to Adelaide Paint Protection, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. From start to finish, the experience with APP was nothing short of outstanding.Why I Chose Adelaide Paint Protection:The decision to choose APP was an easy one. Since I got my A4 paint protected in 2019 from APP, getting my Q7 done from someplace else wasn't really a thing.The Remarkable Results:The results I witnessed after having my vehicle treated by APP were nothing short of remarkable. The depth and clarity of the paint were instantly improved, with a stunning mirror-like finish that surpassed my expectations. Not only did their paint protection solution safeguard my vehicle's exterior from environmental elements, but it also added an unparalleled level of gloss and brilliance that truly transformed its appearance.End-to-End Experience with the Brand:My journey with Adelaide Paint Protection was a seamless and delightful one. From the moment I contacted Vini, I was met with professionalism, knowledge, and a genuine eagerness to assist. He took the time to explain their process, answering all of my questions and addressing any concerns I had. This level of transparency and open communication instilled confidence in me and reinforced my belief that I had made the right choice.
