What is Ceramic Coating?
Ceramic Coating is a chemical solution that is professionally applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect it from external paint damage.
After using the safe wash process, we apply the solution by hand. This then bonds with the paint of your car and creates an additional hydrophobic layer of clear protection. Because it's creating a new layer, the factory paint job remains untouched.
​
​While many car enthusiasts believe this to be an alternative to paint protection film, ceramic coating, in reality, is an alternative to waxing. The main idea is to prevent dirt, grime, swirls and chemical marring from appearing on the paint and ruining the clear coat.
Dealership Vs Professional
If you've purchased a new or approved car from a dealer then you may have already heard about a Ceramic Coating without even knowing it.
Main dealers commonly offer a life shine or something that is very profitable for them, but which offers little to no protection for your new car. A ceramic coating is a highly effective layer of protection, which, when correctly applied by a professional detailer to your car's paint, can last for years.
Once applied a ceramic coating is extremely hydrophobic; its main purpose is to repel water and dirt. The ceramic coating is also resistant to UV rays, strong chemicals and can even help to reduce the risk of etching from bird muck and the fine scratches known as swirls.
Can my car have a ceramic coating?
Any car can have a ceramic coating applied, whether it's brand new or a classic car or even the family run-about.
If you've just bought a car, you may think it's in perfect condition, but in fact cars straight from the showroom still benefit from machine polishing first, as having the best paint finish possible is key to a good, long-lasting finish.
These coatings are incredibly stable and do not change the look of your car's paintwork and as they're clear.
​
Before any coatings are applied, your car would need to be prepared - as this is the most important stage. Normally, a paint correction job would need to be done prior to application.
Which Parts of my car can be coated?
Every surface on the vehicle can have a Ceramic Coating inside and out. The paint, wheels, windows, brake callipers, exhaust tips, soft tops, plastics, leather-fabric seats, carpets and all interior plastics can all have some form of protection, each part of the exterior and interior has a specific coating to suit the surface.
