Why Sunshine Coast Drivers Choose Gyeon
The combination of high-intensity Queensland UV and corrosive coastal salt air breaks down factory clear coats. At Auto Emporium, we use GYEON ceramic coatings, which are considered one of the highest quality systems in the world and are used by elite, certified detailers globally.
What sets GYEON apart is the advanced quartz-based technology, including a world-first use of fluoro-modified polysilazanes. This delivers exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and hydrophobic performance.
GYEON isn’t just a "coating", it's a professional-grade protection system designed to keep your vehicle looking better for longer with minimal manual maintenance, all while maximising its resale value over time.
- Superior Durability & Protection: Forms a hard, semi-permanent shield against Queensland's intense UV, environmental fallout, and daily wear.
- Extreme Hydrophobic Effect: Water, dirt, and grime bead off effortlessly, keeping your paint cleaner between washes.
- High Gloss “Candy” Finish: Unlocks incredible depth, clarity, and a permanent wet-look showroom shine.
- Scratch & Chemical Resistance: Among the hardest coatings available, actively defending against chemical etching from bat droppings and coastal sea spray.

What Our Clients Say
"What an experience. My car was already new, but the work done here took it to another level. From the paint protection and interior coating to the tinting and caliper painting, everything was finished beautifully. Robin made the entire process effortless. He was easy to talk to, walked me through what to expect, and his knowledge gave me complete confidence in the result. Highly recommended."
"Outstanding service from Robin and the guys at Auto Emporium. Just had my new Black IM5 ceramic coated with the GYEON INFINITE package and it looks incredible. Very very happy with the results, well worth it! Communication and service was beyond my expectations. Great job on all fronts."
"I purchased and brand new Haval H6 last week and after speaking to Robin at Auto Emporium, I went the full hog! Ceramic window tinting all round and to top it off, I went with the top of the range Gyeon Infinity Ceramic Paint Protection. Wow, it looks even better than it did in the showroom."
"Robin and his team did a great job on my Ford Everest Tremor. Very happy with the ceramic coating and window tinting."
"Robyn and the team do exceptional work! The racing stripes and ceramic coating I had put on make my limited edition BRZ Kiiro car even hotter than before! These guys go above and beyond."
"Great job with full black out, window tint, painted wheels, callipers, ceramic coat and special touches to Nissen badges."
Visit Auto Emporium Studio in Caloundra
Auto Emporium is located at 21 Daniel St. Our custom-built Caloundra West studio provides the stable temperature, clinical lighting, and wind-free conditions required for GYEON coatings to cure correctly and qualify for their studio warranty.
Flash curing under uncontrolled humidity leads to a cloudy, hazy finish that compromises the coating's hydrophobic properties and longevity.
We are conveniently situated in the Caloundra West Industrial Estate:
- From Caloundra Rd: Turn onto Pierce Ave, then right onto Daniel St. We are 2 minutes from the Sunshine Coast Aerodrome.
- From Aura / Bells Creek: Just a 5-minute drive via the Aura Blvd connection.
- Reception Entry: Please enter via 2 Geoffrey St for customer parking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ceramic coatings offer incredible gloss and ease of maintenance, but they are not a magic, maintenance-free shield. The main things to be aware of:
- High Upfront Cost: Professional application requires intensive preparation and skilled labour.
- Not Scratch-Proof: It will not protect against deep scratches, vandalism, or rock chips — you need Vinyl Wrap or PPF for that.
- Still Requires Washing: Regular washing with pH-neutral soap is essential. If neglected, mineral deposits and water spots can form on the coating surface.
No. Ceramic coating is completely transparent and will actually magnify existing imperfections. This is why we always require paint correction prior to application — a specialised machine polish that removes swirl marks, light scratches, and oxidation so the coating seals in a perfect, flawless finish.
We do not offer mobile ceramic coating. While mobile detailing is fine for maintenance washes, a high-end ceramic coating must be applied in a controlled, dust-free indoor environment. Coatings applied outdoors risk contamination, uneven curing, and voided warranties.
Surprisingly, yes. Even brand-new Sunshine Coast cars straight from the dealership typically have minor swirl marks from improper washing, transport damage, or lot-care handling.
A light paint correction is almost always required to decontaminate the surface and ensure the GYEON coating bonds properly to the clear coat — delivering the showroom-superior finish it's designed for.
Ceramic coatings dramatically reduce maintenance effort, but they aren't maintenance-free. To keep your coating performing at its best:
- Wash regularly with a pH-neutral car shampoo. Avoid harsh detergents or automatic car washes with abrasive brushes.
- Dry properly with a clean microfibre towel to prevent water spots from mineral-heavy Sunshine Coast tap water.
- Annual maintenance wash: We recommend a professional decontamination wash once a year to remove embedded contaminants and restore peak hydrophobic performance.
