O'Keefe's Prestige Detailing
Authorised installer across CarPro, Gyeon, Gtechniq and SystemX · every job done by Ethan.
I hold certified installer status with four of the most rigorous paint protection programmes available. Every car I take on gets my hands on it, start to finish.
Certifications
Each brand runs its own technical assessment. I'm accredited with all four.
CarPro CQuartz is formulated in the Czech Republic and relied on by some of the most meticulous detailers in the world. Certification requires completing CarPro's product curriculum and hands-on assessment before authorised-installer status is granted.
Gyeon's Q² coating range is engineered for real-world durability across varying climates. As a Gyeon authorised installer I can match the right product to your vehicle, your environment and how you use the car day to day.
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light and Crystal Serum Ultra are among the hardest ceramic coatings available. Gtechniq's certification programme is stringent · I hold active certified status with the brand.
SystemX Diamond is a 9H-rated ceramic coating with lifetime warranty options. SystemX controls its installer network carefully. I'm an authorised SystemX installer on the Sunshine Coast.
About
Four certifications from four different manufacturers, each earned separately.
When I set up O'Keefe's Prestige Detailing, I made one rule: every car that comes to me gets my hands on it. Not a junior. Not a subcontractor. Me.
The people who trust me with a high-value vehicle deserve to know exactly who is touching it. Getting certified with CarPro, Gyeon, Gtechniq and SystemX was not a marketing exercise. Each programme has its own technical curriculum, its own assessment process, and its own product chemistry. Holding all four means I can match the right coating to the right car rather than defaulting to a single brand regardless of fit.
If you have spent real money on a vehicle, it is worth talking to someone who has taken the training seriously.

Services
From a single-stage polish to full paint protection film with a lifetime ceramic coating over the top.
A permanent or semi-permanent protective layer that bonds chemically to your paint. Once cured, it repels water, contamination and UV, and adds measurable gloss depth. I work with CarPro CQuartz, Gyeon Q², Gtechniq Crystal Serum and SystemX Diamond · the right product depends on your car, how you use it, and what protection duration makes sense for your situation. Packages run from 3-year entry-level coatings through to lifetime-grade products on qualifying vehicles.
Clear urethane film applied to the surfaces that take the most road damage: bonnet, bumper, mirrors, door leading edges and A-pillars. PPF absorbs stone chips and scratches before they reach your paint. The better films self-heal minor surface marks under heat. I install PPF as a standalone service or as a base layer before ceramic coating for complete physical and chemical protection. Partial front-end packages through to full-body wraps.
Before any coating goes on, the paint needs to be right. Swirl marks, buffer trails, water spot etching and light scratches become more visible under a ceramic coating if they are not corrected first, because the coating amplifies the gloss. I use a machine polishing process: single-stage for light correction, multi-stage for more serious defects. I inspect every car and quote the correction stage honestly before any work begins.
New cars come off the lot with dealer-applied wax, handling marks and sometimes minor paint defects from transport. Before you drive it home permanently, I can decontaminate, correct where needed, and apply a long-term coating · so it is genuinely protected from day one, not just showroom-clean. New vehicle prep is the most cost-effective point to apply a coating because the paint is in the best possible condition to start with.
Leather seats, suede headliners, carpets, door cards and glass can all be treated with ceramic or fabric-specific protective coatings. Interior protection repels spills, UV fade and general wear. A properly coated leather surface stays looking right for years longer than untreated leather · without the cracking and fading that comes from no protection on a vehicle used in Queensland heat.
A coating is a long-term investment. How it is maintained determines how long it performs. I offer maintenance wash programs using chemistry compatible with your specific coating · no strip-wash products, no drive-through automation. Regular maintenance keeps the hydrophobic effect active and the gloss where you paid to have it. Annual or bi-annual maintenance visits are available for existing clients.
The Process
Step by step, from first wash to final cure.
Most people see the finished result and assume it is a few hours of work. A proper job on a high-value vehicle is typically a two-to-three day process. Here is what that looks like.
A thorough pre-wash, snow foam application, contact wash, clay bar treatment, and chemical decontamination to pull out the iron particles, tar and industrial fallout that regular washing cannot shift. This stage matters because coating over contaminated paint seals the problem in.
Machine polishing in stages · from heavier compound down to fine polish · checking under high-intensity lighting between each pass. The target is paint that reads clean and defect-free under proper inspection, not just under showroom fluorescents.
The ceramic product goes on panel by panel in controlled conditions. Once applied, it needs cure time, typically overnight before any moisture contact and several days before a full wash. The curing window is not where corners get cut.
That is what you are paying for: the process, not just the product.

Not self-awarded. Each certification is issued by the manufacturer after their own assessment.
CarPro, Gyeon, Gtechniq and SystemX each run their own authorised installer programmes. Getting certified means completing the manufacturer's technical training, passing their assessment, and maintaining standards for ongoing accreditation. I hold active certified status with all four. That is the proof I can put in front of you: not what I say about my own work, but what four respected paint protection manufacturers are willing to put their name behind.
