(01) — The Atelier

We don't wash cars. We restore the relationship between light and paint.

LUSTRA is a single-bay studio, not a production line. We accept a limited number of vehicles each week so that every panel receives the attention of a master technician — measured, corrected, and protected by hand.

Our craft sits at the intersection of chemistry and obsession. Coating systems rated for a decade. Film cut to the tenth of a millimetre. Finishes measured under calibrated light, never guessed.

(02) — Disciplines

Four disciplines. One standard.

01

Paint Correction

Multi-stage refinement that removes swirls, holograms and etching to restore true optical clarity — measured under calibrated light, never filled.

Compounding Refinement Gloss metering
02

Ceramic Coating

A semi-permanent glass layer that locks in depth, repels water and contamination, and keeps the finish effortless to maintain for years.

9H Hydrophobic Up to 10 yr
03

Paint Protection Film

Self-healing urethane, computer-cut and hand-wrapped to the vehicle — invisible armour against stone chips, road rash and time.

Self-healing Full-body 10 yr warranty
04

Precision-cut ceramic film that rejects heat and UV without the purple haze — clarity in, glare out, cabin controlled.

(03) — The Result

Depth you can fall into.

A LUSTRA finish isn't shine — it's clarity. Reflections resolve to a mirror. Colour gains dimension. The car looks the way the designer intended, only better.

(04) — The Method

Five stages.
No shortcuts.

01

Consultation

We assess paint depth, existing defects and how you use the car — then design a plan around it.

45 MIN
02

Decontamination

A meticulous multi-stage wash, iron removal and clay to leave the surface chemically and physically clean.

3–4 HRS
03

Correction

Machine refinement under calibrated lighting until reflections resolve to a true mirror.

1–3 DAYS
04

Protection

Coating, film or tint applied in a filtered, temperature-controlled bay — then cured overnight.

1–2 DAYS
05

Delivery

Final inspection under sunlight, a full care briefing, and the keys back — with documentation.

30 MIN
(05) — Evidence

Before, and after.

Drag to reveal a single-stage paint correction on a black metallic finish — swirls and holograms removed under 3,000 lux. No fillers, no glaze. Only corrected clear coat.

AFTER — corrected mirror paint, sharp reflection
BEFORE — swirled, hazy paint

(06) — In Their Words

"They returned a car I'd owned for nine years and made it feel like delivery day again."

M. Rearden — 911 GT3 Touring · Ceramic + PPF
★★★★★ GOOGLE

The clarity of the finish is genuinely unreal. LUSTRA treated a six-figure car like it was their own. Every reflection is now a mirror.

Booked for PPF and left with peace of mind. The film edges are invisible and the team walked me through everything. Zero hard sell.

Appointment-only, and now I understand why. This is craftsmanship, not a car wash. Worth every minute of the wait.

(07) — Questions

Before you
book.

Can't find your answer? Speak with a technician directly — we reply the same day.

Do you only work on exotic cars?

+

No. We work on any car its owner considers worth protecting — from a daily EV to a concours classic. The standard of work is identical; only the plan changes.

Why appointment-only?

+

Because correction and coating can't be rushed. We take a limited number of vehicles each week so every car gets uninterrupted bench time and a single lead technician from intake to delivery.

How long will my car be with you?

+

A ceramic package is typically two to four days; full-body PPF can run five to seven. We give you a firm window at consultation and a courtesy vehicle can be arranged.

How long does a ceramic coating last?

+

Our flagship system is rated up to ten years with an annual inspection. Real longevity depends on how the car is stored and washed — we teach you exactly how to maintain it.

Is everything guaranteed?

+

Yes. Coatings and film carry manufacturer-backed warranties, and our workmanship is guaranteed in writing. If it isn't right, it isn't finished.
