Our promise, in writing.
A coating we're prepared to stand behind for the life of the car, and a warranty written the way we'd want to read one — short, plain, and kept. It runs on three habits.
The tier changes the years. Nothing else.
Same coating, same certified application, same standard in every tier — we don't do a cheaper job for a shorter warranty. The tier sets how long we stand behind the work. Neither asks you to book anything.
Paint ten years, glass five, interior two. Nothing to book and nothing that lapses — keep to the aftercare guide and the cover runs its full term.
Paint for as long as you own the car. Glass five years, interior two, wheels and trim three. No inspections, no renewals — the same aftercare, for as long as the car is yours.
“Lifetime” means: while the car stays registered to you in Australia and is cared for as your aftercare guide describes. Sell it, and the cover transfers with the car — the new owner registers the VIN within thirty days.
Tier pricing is set by your certified installer and confirmed in writing before any work begins. There is no annual fee and no inspection to book — the price you pay on the day is the whole of it.
What “covered” actually covers
Surface by surface, honestlyOutside the promise: the twelve exclusions below, in full. A coating is chemistry, not armour. Keep to the aftercare guide, and the promise holds. None of this limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law.
What this warranty does not cover.
Numbered, so a claim decision can point to one. They are the same exclusions the dealer-fit protection warranties you already know carry — written so you can read them.
- Damage to the paintwork from collision, stone chipping, rust, scratches, vandalism (egg damage and the like), abrasion, or contact with acids, dyes, oil-based paints, bleaches or ammonia-based products, and fallout or spillage of corrosive chemicals or materials.
- Swirl marks, wash webbing and surface scratches from abrasive washing — brush car washes, dirty mitts or towels, scourers.
- Panels treated with another protection product, altered, resprayed or replaced and not re-treated by a certified CLTCH installer.
- Defects in the paintwork from substandard repairs to the vehicle.
- Manufacturer’s imperfections in the paintwork, or anything covered by the vehicle maker’s warranty.
- Painted accessories — ute lids, spoilers, canopies, side skirts, bull bars — unless listed on the application record.
- Any area modified after application: decals, stickers, magnetic signage, wraps or film applied over the coating.
- Damage from polishing, compounding or buffing by anyone other than a certified CLTCH installer.
- Damage from cleaning with a solvent, degreaser, or any agent that is not pH-neutral.
- Damage from failing to take reasonable care of the treated surface as the aftercare guide describes, including contaminants left to bake on.
- Matte, satin or non-clear-coated finishes, unless agreed in writing before application.
- Damage no coating can prevent — accidents, fire, flood, hail, alterations, misuse.
Two minutes online. A person reads it.
Your VIN is all you need — type it or scan it with your phone. We check your cover on the spot, take your photos, and hand you a claim reference before you put the phone down. No phone queues, and email info@cltch.com.au still works if you'd rather write.
For an approved claim under this express warranty, Clutch Ventures' liability is limited, at its option, to arranging the necessary repairs and reapplication, or paying the owner up to A$2,000 (or the cost of the coating application, whichever is less). This limit applies to this express warranty only — it does not limit, exclude or modify any right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
This express warranty is given by Clutch Ventures Pty Ltd trading as CLTCH, Brisbane QLD · info@cltch.com.au — directly to the registered owner, whether your coating was arranged through the dealership that supplied your vehicle or with us. These terms (v3.0 · September 2026) apply to certificates issued under them and are governed by the laws of Queensland. Where a claim is approved, CLTCH will clean or repair the affected area (at its option) and re-apply the coating to it.
