What a ceramic coating actually does
How the chemistry bonds, what it protects against, what it doesn't. The honest version, not the brochure version.
Notes from the workshop
Notes, not noise.
Long-form notes from the workshop. How ceramic actually bonds, what to ask before paying for a coating, why tint VLT matters in Queensland. Written honestly, no filler.
First notes
Coming soon.
A1 is a working workshop first, a publication second. New notes go up when there's something honest worth saying, not on a content calendar. In the meantime, the daily work lives on Instagram and TikTok.
Why prep is 80% of the job
Decontamination, paint correction and inspection: the steps that decide whether the finish lasts five years or peels in five months.
QLD-legal VLT, explained
Front side windows 35% minimum, rear windows no limit, windscreen rules. What gets you defected, what doesn't.
New car protection · when and why
The case for coating a new car before the first wash. Swirl marks lock in fast at the dealership.
Until the notes are up
The work, daily.
Live updates on customer jobs, paint corrections and the workshop go up on Instagram and TikTok. Follow there if you want the day-to-day version.
