TOYOTA LANDCRUISER 79 SERIES | MODESTA BC-05 CERAMIC COATING
Before You Choose a Ceramic Coating, Compare the Process, Not Just the Price.
With just 10,000km on the clock, this 2024 Toyota LandCruiser 79 Series arrived at Custom Car Care Wagga for extensive paint correction and long-term protection with Modesta BC-05 Advanced Water-Repellent Glass Coating.
Low kilometres doesn't guarantee flawless paintwork and applying a ceramic coating over improperly prepared paint won't correct existing defects or ensure proper adhesion.
Instead, those imperfections remain beneath the coating, while inadequate surface preparation can compromise its long-term performance.
Take a look through the photos. The before-and-afters show why the correction was necessary, while the process shots show some of what goes into coating a vehicle properly.
THE PREPARATION
Following a thorough decontamination wash and careful masking, the LandCruiser's bodywork and painted toolboxes underwent three stages of machine paint correction:
- Stage 1 โ Rotary Wool Cutting to address existing paint defects.
- Stage 2 โ Dual Action Micro-Wool Polishing to refine the finish and remove cutting marks.
- Stage 3 โ Dual Action Foam Pad Finishing to maximise gloss, depth and clarity.
Once corrected, the vehicle received a second wash and degreasing process, to remove polishing residues and prepare the surface for proper coating adhesion.
THE MODESTA BC-05 INSTALLATION
Modesta P-01A Coating Primer was applied before installing BC-05 Advanced Water-Repellent Glass Coating.
Featuring an advanced three-dimensional molecular structure, BC-05 delivers exceptional colour depth, a rich wet-look finish, strong hydrophobic performance and long-term resistance to environmental contamination.
The wheel faces also received BC-05 protection, followed by controlled infrared heat curing to activate the coating's hardening process.
WHY THE PROCESS MATTERS
There's a considerable difference between a quick polish and same-day ceramic coating application and investing several days in proper paint correction, meticulous surface preparation, premium coating installation and infrared curing.
Both might be advertised as ceramic coating packages, but the workmanship, preparation and processes can be vastly different.
At Custom Car Care Wagga, our Modesta ceramic coating packages start from $2,000 including GST.
That investment reflects over 30 years of hands-on experience, specialist equipment, premium materials and the time required to do the job properly.
This LandCruiser required considerably more work than our starting package, including extensive three-stage paint correction, additional surface preparation and an upgrade from Modesta BC-X to premium BC-05 for enhanced long-term protection, superior water repellency and a deeper, richer, high-gloss finish.
A cheaper ceramic coating quote from another detailer might save you money upfront but inadequate preparation, compromised coating adhesion or an inferior product could end up costing considerably more if the work needs to be redone.
Because the real cost isn't always what you pay upfront. It's what you're left with after the job is done.
The preparation creates the finish. The coating protects it. Proper curing completes the process.
