Ceramic coating
A thin, hard layer bonded to freshly polished paint. It keeps the gloss, makes washing quick, and makes water bead up and roll off.

What you get
Wash and decontamination
Iron remover, tar remover and clay, then a panel wipe.
One-step polish
Included in every coating, so we’re sealing in gloss, not swirls.
Coating on paint
Applied panel by panel, then levelled with a towel under the lights.
Overnight cure
The car stays inside at the studio so the coating sets without dew or dust.
Care guide
A short card with how to wash it and what to avoid.
One-year check
Bring it back after a year for an inspection and a top-up layer.
What it does, and what it doesn’t
Does: resist bird droppings, bug guts, road salt and sun fading for years. Dirt washes off with less rubbing, so the paint stays swirl-free longer.
Doesn’t: stop rock chips, deep scratches or door dings. That’s what paint protection film is for.
Care: wash every two weeks or so with a pH-neutral soap, skip the brush car washes, and keep it dry for 24 hours after you pick it up.

Questions
How long does it take?
Two days. Day one is the wash, decontamination and polish. Day two is the coating, then it cures inside overnight.
Is it the same as wax?
No. Wax sits on top and lasts weeks. A coating bonds to the clear coat and lasts years, and it’s harder.
Can you coat a brand new car?
Yes, and it’s a good time. Most new cars still need a light polish first, because of wash marks from the dealer lot.
