Cerakote Automotive Products in New Zealand

Cerakote is a globally recognised specialist in advanced ceramic coatings and surface protection products, with a strong reputation across automotive, industrial and specialist applications.

For car owners and detailers, Cerakote has developed a range of products designed to restore, protect and enhance some of the most exposed areas of a vehicle, including headlights, exterior plastic trim, paint, glass, wheels, tyres, interiors, paint protection film and vinyl wraps.

Shineworks stocks one of New Zealand’s most comprehensive ranges of Cerakote automotive care products and is currently the leading reseller of Cerakote automotive products in New Zealand.

With stock held locally and nationwide delivery available, New Zealand customers can purchase genuine Cerakote products without the delays and complications of importing automotive chemicals from overseas.

Why Cerakote Has Become So Popular

Cerakote has built its reputation around ceramic technology and long-lasting surface protection.

Many traditional automotive dressings and protectants are designed to temporarily improve the appearance of a surface. They may add gloss, darken plastic or make water bead, but the effect can fade relatively quickly.

Cerakote takes a different approach with products designed to bond more effectively to the treated surface and provide longer lasting protection.

Depending on the product, Cerakote automotive treatments can help protect against:

  • UV exposure
  • Oxidation
  • Water and moisture
  • Road grime
  • Chemical contamination
  • Weathering
  • Fading
  • Everyday environmental exposure

This makes Cerakote especially useful for restoring and protecting vehicle surfaces that are exposed to New Zealand’s strong UV conditions, changing weather and regular road use.

Cerakote Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit

Cloudy, yellowed and oxidised headlights are a common problem on older vehicles.

Most modern headlights use plastic lenses that gradually degrade from UV exposure, road contamination and weathering. As the outer surface oxidises, the lens can become hazy or yellow, reducing both the appearance of the vehicle and the clarity of the light output.

The Cerakote Ceramic Headlight Restoration Kit provides a complete three step restoration system designed to restore two headlights without requiring power tools.

The process removes oxidation, restores clarity and finishes with a ceramic UV protective coating.

This makes it a strong option for customers who want to restore headlights at home and professionally without using a drill, machine polisher or complicated sanding system.

The kit is especially suited to:

  • Yellow headlights
  • Cloudy headlights
  • Oxidised plastic headlight lenses
  • Older vehicles with faded lenses
  • DIY headlight restoration

For heavily damaged, cracked or internally deteriorated headlights, replacement or professional repair may still be required.

Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat Restoration Kit

Faded black plastic trim can dramatically age the appearance of a vehicle.

Exterior plastics are constantly exposed to sunlight, rain, road grime and cleaning chemicals. Over time, dark plastic can lose its colour and become grey, chalky or uneven.

The Cerakote Ceramic Trim Coat Restoration Kit is designed for heavily faded, unpainted exterior plastic trim.

Unlike temporary silicone style dressings that can wash away after a few weeks, Trim Coat is designed to form a ceramic protective layer over the surface.

It can be used on suitable exterior plastics such as:

  • Bumper trim
  • Mirror surrounds
  • Wheel arch trim
  • Exterior mouldings
  • Grilles
  • Plastic body cladding

Proper cleaning and preparation are important before application. Any old dressings, oils or contamination should be removed so the coating can bond correctly.

For customers searching for a way to permanently improve badly faded black plastic trim, Cerakote Trim Coat is one of the most popular products in the range.

Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant

For customers wanting an easier way to add ceramic style protection to automotive paint, the Cerakote Platinum Rapid Ceramic Paint Sealant offers a fast spray on solution.

It is designed to improve:

  • Gloss
  • Slickness
  • Water beading
  • Ease of maintenance
  • Protection against environmental contamination

A ceramic spray sealant is much easier to apply than a traditional bottled ceramic coating and generally requires less preparation.

This makes it particularly suitable for car owners who want strong protection and water behaviour without committing to a full ceramic coating process.

It can be used as part of a regular detailing routine after the vehicle has been thoroughly washed and dried.

Cerakote Ceramic Glass Coat

Visibility in wet weather is important, particularly during New Zealand winters.

The Cerakote Ceramic Glass Coat Protectant Kit is designed to create a hydrophobic layer on automotive glass.

This causes water to bead more readily and helps reduce the amount of water that remains spread across the windscreen and other glass surfaces.

A treated windscreen may also be easier to clean because water, dirt and contamination have less opportunity to bond to the glass.

Ceramic glass coatings are particularly useful for:

  • Windscreens
  • Side windows
  • Rear glass
  • Vehicles regularly driven in wet conditions

Glass coatings do not replace windscreen wipers and should always be used alongside properly maintained wiper blades.

Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Wheel Sealant

Wheels are exposed to some of the harshest contamination on a vehicle.

Brake dust, road grime, heat, water and chemicals can quickly make wheels difficult to maintain.

The Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Wheel Sealant is designed to add a hydrophobic protective layer to clean wheel surfaces.

This can help reduce the adhesion of brake dust and grime, making future maintenance easier.

For the best result, wheels should be thoroughly cleaned and decontaminated before application.

A wheel sealant does not eliminate the need for wheel cleaning, but it can make regular washing faster and reduce the amount of aggressive cleaning required.

Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Tire Coat

Traditional tyre dressings can sometimes leave surfaces greasy, overly shiny or prone to sling.

The Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Tire Coat is designed to darken and protect tyre sidewalls while providing a more durable finish.

Before application, tyres should be thoroughly cleaned to remove:

  • Old dressing
  • Road grime
  • Dirt
  • Tyre browning

The cleaner the tyre surface, the better the coating can bond. 

Tyre coating should only be applied to the sidewall and never to the tread or braking surfaces.

Cerakote Rapid Ceramic Interior Detailer

Cerakote also offers products for vehicle interiors.

The Rapid Ceramic Interior Detailer is designed to clean and protect suitable interior plastic, vinyl and trim surfaces.

It can help with everyday dust, fingerprints and light grime while leaving behind additional protection.

When detailing interiors, avoid spraying products directly onto screens, switches or electronic components. Applying the product to a clean microfibre towel first gives better control.

Delicate materials should always be spot tested before treatment.

Cerakote PPF and Vinyl Protection

Paint protection film and vinyl wraps need different maintenance from traditional painted surfaces.

The Cerakote Rapid Ceramic PPF & Vinyl Sealant is designed to protect suitable paint protection film and automotive vinyl.

It can help improve:

  • Slickness
  • Water repellency
  • Ease of cleaning
  • Resistance to everyday contamination

This is useful for vehicles with partial or full PPF installations, gloss vinyl or compatible wrapped surfaces.

For matte or satin finishes, always check product compatibility because some products may change the appearance of low-gloss films.

Cerakote Marine Products

Cerakote also offers products designed for marine applications.

The Rapid Ceramic Marine Sealant provides ceramic protection for suitable marine surfaces and helps improve gloss, hydrophobic behaviour and ease of maintenance.

Marine environments can be especially harsh due to water exposure, salt, UV radiation and contamination, so surface protection can significantly reduce cleaning effort.

The Headlight Restoration Kit and Trim Coat Restoration Kit are good examples. Both include the products needed for the application process and are designed to minimise the need for specialist equipment.

Before applying any coating or restoration product:

Good preparation has a major impact on the final appearance and durability.
