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 –

These guys are amazing. If you are thinking about paint protection can't recommend them highly enough. Even if you aren't, but you just want to experience some really good service, then book in. A great experience all around and a high quality job.

Veni and the gang did a brilliant job - I have a shiny eclectic blue Toyota Corolla that I love and wanted to protect. It looks amazing, and I’m so happy to have gone with them after spending time researching. Love it and thank you for taking such care with my little car!

Had GTECHNIQ Total Surface Protection put on my new black Wildtrak. Could not be happier. It looks amazing and when you wipe it now it feels like you are sliding cloth across silk.The cost was very very reasonable when you consider how much the dealers quote and the work involved and it’s always best to go to the people who do the task day in day out. Vini owns the business so owns the outcome that is always a plus too.Thank you Vini and Team.

I did plenty of research & I am so glad I picked Vinnie & the team at APP. From the first phone call nothing was too difficult, got my new car straight in from the dealership. The attention to details, photos/videos and the care and pride they take in making your car the best it can be and treat it as if it was their own. My first experience of Paint protection & so very happy with my Ultimate package experience. You will not be disappointed! Cheers Vinnie!

I was looking for a place to get my new Mustang paint protected in Adelaide and decided on Adelaide Paint Protection as I was impressed with all the awesome reviews and the detailed info on their website. I was super happy with the communication, APP were very prompt and professional. Even before I came in it was clear that Vini and Anna love what they do, that their team takes care with their work and the attention to detail is obvious. The final result was amazing and I'm sure will stay that way for many years. I also loved that I received a gallery of videos and photos of my car showing the whole process along the way as well as a detailed guide on how to care of the new coating. I'd recommend APP to anyone looking to get the highest quality long term protection for their car. I couldn’t be happier; thanks APP!!

Cannot recommend highly enough!Vini and the team carried out the Pinnacle Ceramic Paint Protection on our Tesla Model Y, that was bought at the end of last year, and the job was amazing, the car looks better now than the day we bought it!Vini was super helpful, friendly, answered all of my questions, and was very responsive in all communications.Will definitely take our next car (and all after that!) to Vini and the team

I couldn't be happier with the work that Vini and his team did on my T Roc. They finished the job in great time and I was treated with courtesy and respect at all times. Highly recommend to anyone considering having their vehicle ceramic coated, interior protection and tinting .. I had all 3. Thanks so much.

Took my 2-week old BYD Seal to see Vini and the APP team. First class job, so professional and knowledgeable, would have no hesitation recommending to anyone in SA that needs a ceramic coating. The car just gleams now!

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.

Thank you to Adelaide Paint Protection and Vini.Wanting to ensure the lasting look to my new car and paint I spent a considerable amount of time researching ceramic coating and business' available in Adelaide.I decided on APP based on: Word of mouth, over 300 5-star google reviews and individual reviews of Gtechniq ceramic coating.I went with the Pinnacle package and the final result of the car speaks to the passion of the trade, professionalism and pride in the work of the team at APP. Could not be happier.Customer service was outstanding and accommodating to each specific need I had as a customer.Highly recommend!

Vini and his team did a great job on our Polestar 2. It's incredible how the team were able to take a brand new car and make it better than new. The experience overall was thoroughly professional and Vini was more than happy to go over every detail and answer any question we asked. I truly appreciate and value the level of care and service. Thanks so much Vini and team.

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.
