Ceramic coating and paint protection
Semi-permanent and permanent protective coatings, applied over paint that has already been corrected.
Protection fixes nothing. It preserves. That is why a coating goes on corrected paint only: over scratched paint it seals the defects underneath for years. The difference between the two kinds is how long they last and what they cost, not whether they stop scratches. Neither is scratch insurance.
What it covers
Semi-permanent coatings
Protection measured in months: synthetic sealants and hybrid coatings. The right call for a car being prepared for sale, for seasonal protection before winter, or when you want to see what a coating does before committing to a permanent one.
- Hydrophobic behaviour for a season
- Winter salt and chemical protection
- Lower up-front cost
Permanent ceramic coatings
A nano-ceramic coating that cures onto the paint and lasts years. Water sheets off, dirt keys in less, and washing takes half the time. The car stays with us while the coating cures. This is not a same-day service.
- Lasting hydrophobic behaviour
- UV, road salt and chemical resistance
- Easier, less frequent washing
- Paint that holds its value
We don't work from a price list. The price depends on the size of the car and the state it is in. We give it after an inspection, before anything starts.
Questions about this service
What is the difference between paint correction and ceramic coating?
Paint correction removes defects: scratches, holograms, oxidation. A ceramic coating removes nothing; it protects the paint from above. That is why coatings go on corrected paint only: otherwise they seal the defects underneath for years.
How long does a ceramic coating last?
It depends on the product, whether the car is parked outside, and how it is washed. A coating is not permanent and it is not scratch insurance. It makes washing easier and shields the paint from UV, road salt and chemicals. At intake we tell you what is realistic for your car.
Can I coat a brand-new car straight from the dealer?
Almost never straight away. New cars arrive with iron fallout from transport and storage, and often with defects from the dealer's own prep. The minimum is decontamination and a light polish before the coating goes on. Otherwise you are sealing in somebody else's mistakes.
