Paint Protection

Ceramic Coating

A protective coating that enhances gloss, improves water repellency and makes cleaning easier.

Overview

What it involves

Ceramic coating forms a thin, hard layer on the surface of the paint. It deepens gloss, repels water and dirt, and makes routine washing simpler.

The coating is only as good as the surface beneath it, so we prepare the paint carefully, and often recommend paint correction first. It is not a replacement for film when stone-chip protection is the priority.

Our process

How we work

    Paint assessment

    We inspect the finish and recommend the preparation your paint needs.

  2. 02

    Decontamination & correction

    The surface is cleaned, and where required polished, so the coating bonds to a clean base.

  3. 03

    Coating application

    The coating is applied panel by panel in a controlled environment.

  4. 04

    Curing & care advice

    We explain the curing period and how to wash the vehicle to get the most from it.

FAQs

Common questions

Will ceramic coating stop scratches?

It adds a hard surface layer, but it does not make paint scratch-proof or protect against stone chips. PPF is the better choice for impact protection.

Do I still need to wash the car?

Yes. A coating makes washing easier, but the vehicle still needs regular, careful cleaning.

Should I correct the paint first?

Usually it is recommended, because the coating locks in the finish beneath it.
