years of protection. bonded to the paint.

A professional-grade ceramic coating isn't a product you spray on and wipe off. It's a semi-permanent layer of 9H hardness that chemically bonds to your paint hydrophobic, UV resistant, and self-cleaning. Applied correctly, it protects your investment for years, not weeks.

What it is

what Coating actually means.

Ceramic coating is an inorganic SiO2-based compound that bonds to the clear coat at a molecular level, creating a hard, slick, sacrificial layer over your paint. It dramatically increases hydrophobicity (water sheets off), resists UV fading, and makes the car significantly easier to keep clean. Unlike wax, it doesn't wash off it has to be machine polished off if removal is ever needed.

Ceramic coating application on paintwork
What's included

every step. every time.

Full decontamination wash

The foundation everything is built on chemical and physical decontamination removes all bonded contamination.

Clay bar & surface prep

Paint must be completely clean and smooth before coating application or the coating bonds over contamination.

Paint correction if needed

If the paint has defects, they must be corrected before coating the coating will lock them in permanently if not.

IPA wipe & panel wipe

All polish residue and oils removed from the surface immediately before coating application.

Coating application by panel

Applied one panel at a time in a controlled manner, levelled off before curing begins.

9H hardness protection

The cured coating forms a hard, scratch-resistant layer significantly harder than the clear coat beneath.

Hydrophobic properties

Water beads and sheets off the coated surface drastically reduces water spots and makes washing much easier.

UV & chemical resistance

Protects against UV-induced paint fade and provides a barrier against light chemical contamination.

The process

how we work.

01

Pre-wash & decontamination

Thorough wash, iron fallout remover, tar remover, clay bar the coating is only as good as the prep underneath it.

02

Paint correction

Any defects corrected at this stage. The coating will permanently lock in whatever the paint looks like when it goes on.

03

IPA wipe

All surfaces wiped down with isopropyl alcohol to remove any remaining oils, wax, or polish residue.

04

Application

Coating applied panel by panel with dedicated applicator, levelled off within working time, repeated across the car.

05

Flash & levelling

Each panel's coating is allowed to flash to the correct point before a clean microfibre removes the high spots.

06

Initial cure & aftercare brief

The coating begins curing immediately. We advise on the initial 24–48 hour curing window and long-term care.

Questions

things people ask about coating.

Professional-grade coatings applied correctly typically last 2–5 years depending on the product, how the car is cared for, and environmental conditions. We'll advise on the specific product used when we quote.
If there are visible swirls or scratches, yes the coating will lock them in permanently. If the paint is already in good condition, a light polish pass is usually all that's needed. We'll assess this when we quote.
After the initial 24–48 hour curing window, yes. We recommend a pH-neutral shampoo and a two-bucket method to preserve the coating. Avoid automatic car washes the brushes will degrade the coating over time.
If you're serious about protecting your paint and want to minimise maintenance effort over the long term, yes. Wax needs reapplying every few months. A ceramic coating is a one-time investment that lasts years and performs significantly better throughout.
