Your car’s paintwork faces plenty of punishment from Melbourne’s weather. Harsh UV, road grime, bird droppings, tree sap and everyday contaminants can quickly leave it looking dull and difficult to clean.
That’s where Magnum Obsidian S1+ Graphene Ceramic Coating comes in.
Available professionally applied at Dr Tint in Chelsea, Magnum Obsidian creates a durable protective coating over your vehicle’s paintwork while producing the deep, glossy finish that car owners love.
What Does Magnum Obsidian Coating Do?
Unlike traditional waxes and sealants that gradually wash away, Magnum Obsidian bonds with the vehicle’s surface to create a longer-lasting protective barrier.
Its hydrophobic properties cause water to bead and roll away more easily, taking some dirt and grime with it. This makes regular washing easier and helps your vehicle stay cleaner between washes.
Magnum Obsidian also provides:
Up to seven years of protection when correctly maintained
SGS-certified 10H hardness
Protection against UV exposure and environmental contamination
A deep, mirror-like gloss
Reduced dust attraction through anti-static properties
Strong water-repellent performance
Easier ongoing cleaning and maintenance
It can be applied to suitable paintwork, aluminium, chrome, paint protection film, vinyl and plastic trim.
Is Ceramic Coating Scratch-Proof?
No ceramic coating makes a vehicle completely scratch-proof—and anyone claiming otherwise is laying it on thicker than the coating.
Magnum Obsidian provides a hard, abrasion-resistant surface that can help reduce light marks and everyday wear. However, it will not prevent stone chips, deep scratches or damage caused by poor washing techniques.
The real advantage is the combination of lasting protection, easier maintenance and an outstanding gloss finish.
Why Professional Preparation Matters
A ceramic coating locks in the condition of the surface beneath it. That means proper paint preparation is just as important as the coating itself.
Before applying Magnum Obsidian, Dr Tint carefully cleans and prepares the vehicle so the coating can properly bond with the surface. Any required paint correction should also be completed before application—not after imperfections have been sealed underneath.
Professional application ensures even coverage, correct curing and the best possible finish.
Is Magnum Obsidian Right for Your Car?
Magnum Obsidian is ideal for new vehicles, freshly detailed cars and owners wanting to protect their paintwork for the long term. It is also a great option if you enjoy having a glossy vehicle but would prefer to spend less time battling stubborn dirt and grime.
Whether you drive throughout Chelsea, Bayside Melbourne or further across the Mornington Peninsula, quality paint protection can make maintaining your vehicle considerably easier.
